Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
More books are sold on happiness than maybe even on dieting… especially because 98% diet books’ hidden attraction is happiness.
Weird, eh? Continue reading “The tyranny of the pursuit of happiness. What you pursue…”
I have been complaining that my bills are higher than my income.
Now, complaining is the tip of the iceberg, the visible part, that indicates an iceberg underneath, under the water level… the kind of iceberg that sunk the might Titanic.
For the most part we ignore our complaints… whining, we may call them. Sissy, we may call ourselves. Cruel, we call the world. But paying attention? No, that we don’t do.
Why? I am not sure. I have some guesses, but your guess is probably as good as mine… as far as guesses go.
So I have decided to observe myself… after all there must be a benefit in living with myself… right? lol. Continue reading “Case study: Disappearing your racket? Is it possible?”
This is a philosophical article, but at some point it is practical: it talks to your concerns, so it is worth your reading. This article will be, also, proof that all writing is re-writing. Now that I written the first draft, I can rewrite it, so it can get better… that is how life works.
Fully understanding the philosophical aspects is not a requirement, although it did me good to write those down.
James Allen said in the beginning of the 20th Century:
“Suffering is always the effect of wrong thoughts in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the law of his being. The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony. Man has but to right himself to find the universe is righted. Let a man radically alter his thoughts and he will be astonished at a rapid transformation it will effect on the material conditions of his life.” ~ James Allen ~ As a Man Thinketh.
Of course his work and this quote has been used for wrong… to promote the “mind power” movement, that, not accidentally, never distinguished what is mind, and therefore neither did its adherents, Law of Attraction people, T. Harv Eker, and other bs. artists and shysters.
OK, let’s start with what is integrated, what is unintegrated, so we can at least hope that we are talking the same language. Continue reading “The invisible phenomenon of the unintegrated self…”
What is the opposite of entitled?This question around entitlement is asked on google thousands times a day, and the trend is that this number is growing steadily.
More in certain countries… More in religious countries… Christian countries… Countries with deep Christian roots, like Ireland. One can safely assume that entitled, and deserving was invented by Christianity to promote certain behaviors that a father would want their child to demonstrate.
Other words that express this same entitlement are deserve and deserving. Continue reading “Entitlement, deserving: do you get what you deserve?”
Getting unstuck and moving in the right direction is just a dream for most people.
Most programs deal with only one side of the story: they either help you unstuck (but you’ll get stuck again, because there is no path for you), or they help you move (but unless you first unstuck, you may move to unhappiness, unfulfillment, disappointment, instead of a nice place). But what I have never seen is someone who does both, and definitely no one seems to use the energy of what fuels you, your hidden fuel source, a craving, a yearning, to help you get unstuck and help you get moving. Continue reading “Why just getting unstuck is not enough? Start moving”
It is, to me, devastating to hear the “bend” of the world to be “against”… and the complete blank when it comes to “for”. 1
This is nothing new. This is the story of humanity: a richness of distinctions what to hate, what to fight, what to be against… and a poverty of colors, distinctions, actions when that fight succeeds.
No one knows. No one is even looking. No one gets that it is more important than air… Continue reading “Stairway to heaven or hot air balloon… both can work. You were thinking of a chair lift, weren’t you?”
So I am listening to the “itch” calls from 2014, and I am mortified at the level of transformation… It is near zero.
The insight (the horse) on the two selves that unless they become a team, no transformation can happen, came since I did those amazing Itch calls in 2014… so no wonder that the results are missing…
What am I talking about?
Your machine, your particular machine, was built based on an incident. Or better said: a decision you made by you (or accepted about yourself) as a child. 2
So far so good… but the process doesn’t stop there.
We behave as if that were not true, if we yell loud enough, if we assert our claims enough, if we pretend that it’s a mistake, etc.
I see it on clients, students all the time.
I did a Bach profile for a brand new person this morning. His “linchpin” Bach Energy is the Peacock. Peacock is one of these “I deserve to be beautiful because I eat poisonous berries for breakfast, lunch and dinner.” It is the 40th Bach Energy® Dr. Edward Bach didn’t find before he died. I did. I also found the Yew… #39. The toxic person. Desire to receive for the self alone…
If they listened to themselves they would say:… Are you crazy? Stop eating that stuff, it will kill you!
But no, they feel like a hero doing what they are doing. But they are dead, deadened heroes.

I watched, mostly listened to the ‘masterclass’ selling Eric Edmeades’ Wildfit course.
The truth value of what Eric Edmeades said was 30%. There was nothing in it that was untrue… it just cannot go higher when you have a product for mass consumption, a one size fit all product.
Eric Edmeades’ vibration is 200.
As in every masterclass, he was having a conversation with Vishen Lakhiani, who looks fabulous, but is insufferable, for the most part. His vibration is 150. Continue reading “Want to become competent in life? Competence is rare…”
We all have it.
Mine is devastation. It pops up when it’s most unexpected. Devastation is between grief and terror… squeezes a tiny drop of tear in my eye, no matter where I am, who I am with, when it hits. 3
It comes up often when I compliment someone.
The other day I sent out an email. I ended with a sentence: “I love working with you.”
Most people just ignored it as social grease.
Two people cried.
One person was pierced by it… dumbfounded why.
