Should I be funny? Should I be kind to get you to do what is in your self interest?
As a ‘writer’ I struggle with one thing: It is hard to be funny in writing. For me.
I can be funny in conversation, but writing is different: I imagine the echo. And imaginary echo doesn’t echo, does it? lol Continue reading “Do you know what is your self-interest? In action?”

“I have always felt if you know what you’re going to do in advance, then you won’t do it,” he says in the video, promoting his (Frank Gehry) tutorial series for the Masterclass online learning provider. “Your creativity starts with whether you’re curious or not.”
It says two things…
1. You won’t do it, if you built an imaginary future with all its glory in your mind, then your desire number is too high, while your ambition number is too low. Continue reading “What you dream about you can bring about or not”

Most of us have two modes when we think about things:
I remember when it was like that for me. And, to be quite hones, it is still work to dislodge myself and think of the in-between.
Without working TOWARDS something, it is natural to fall into the same old, same old, or good enough is good enough. The rut.
I only have to observe myself for a day to see how fast it sets in, and how automatic that is. Continue reading “Most of us have two modes when we think about things:”

I live on the edge of a forest in the middle of a city. There is wildlife, deer, skunk, raccoon, millions of squirrels, lots of birds, including birds of prey.
So, of course, we have field mice. No, let me correct that: I have field mice.
So I have a stash of 12 mice cubes, they have proven themselves over and over again in the 16 years that I have lived here.
And I have peanut butter for bait… Continue reading “This mouse KNOWS what I am going to do…”

Go beyond where you NORMALLY stop… Go to where the sun shines, no matter what the season is
I woke up disgruntled… (=angry, dissatisfied) almost ready to go into devastation (which is my “home page”) but it all changed as I sat down and began to write. What was going to be a rant, became a celebration.
I guess I am not stuck with, neither am invested in, nor am I resisting being someone who rants when I feel beaten, or slighted, or hurt…Most of my students either are invested (i.e. known for) or resist being angry… i.e. stuck with being angry. Continue reading “Go beyond where you NORMALLY stop… Go to where…”

This topic comes from a reader, thank you. Without her prompting I would have never looked there. It would have been a big missing.
I am going to share only what I really know, from my experience, not some theories of some big names, like Freud… I am giving you only Tree of Life. Continue reading “Self-Punishment, Self-Punishing Behavior, the why”

I am past my expiration date.
I am not alone. If I wanted to be cruel, most people living on this planet are.
The moment you stop contributing to the planet, your expiration date is in the past. And if we look closely, that means 50% of all living humans…
Younger people may not have come to age where they can contribute, etc.
And even though from Life’s point of view, this is the hard fact, that unless you are contributing, you are just taking… Using up what you didn’t contribute to creating. Continue reading “I am past my expiration date… and I am still kicking”

How I kicked up the hornet’s nest when I combined two energies… ugh… that hurtsI made the HOE, the combination of all the Heaven on Earth energies some seven years ago. HOE, the word, I knew then, would make sense some day.
It’s a long road to hoe… and it’s been a long road.
But why hoe? I’ll explain in a minute.
Some good ideas are still good ideas after a week… this one, combining the Big bundle and the HOE wasn’t such a bright idea…
Ever since I started to use the Big Bundle with HOE, I am sleeping worse. So much so, that I stopped listening to the audio on the headphones while sleeping. But I had it on the mini speaker in the bedroom… and although the Big Bundle is not very effective if it is played in the background, it still made me notice how busy my mind was, how much I dreamed, how much of my night I spent in thinking, or maybe having thoughts. Continue reading “This article is really only for my inner circle… my clients and my students”

You can’t fix being human
..that is one of the disappointing things you learn when you do work with me. I won’t feed you baloney like “you are a spiritual being having a human experience…” and other garden variety horse manure.
The other half-sentence is just as disappointing: “you can’t get out of this life alive…”
These two half-sentences address 70% of the popular delusions of humanity.
When you internalize these truly, when you start to be energized by them then your vibration will jump 50 points or more. Continue reading “You can’t fix being human… you can’t get out of life alive”

I am hearing that you can’t wrap your minds around Seneca’s principle: “do what is hard when it is easy”.
So I am going to give you some examples… and then ask you to add your examples to the comments section. Let’s create at least 50, OK? Together…
Maintenance is a good example. Exercising is easy while you still can. If you don’t, movement becomes difficult… and then you are seriously limited.
I think the “do what’s difficult while it’s easy” is vague, so all of life fits into it well. It’s a principle. It’s a distinction. It is a way to look at the world…
Continue reading “Do what is difficult when it’s easy… what does it mean for you?”
