Day 8

I had a cup of tea yesterday. Slept for two hours in the afternoon. delightful dreamful sleep.

Got up, did some work. Watched the last two episodes of Astrid.

It is clearer to me that anything that I am a lot like Astrid. Astrid is autistic. High functioning autistic.

She is fragile, compelling people to mock her, dislike her, fear her, help her. And she is fearless at the same time. Continue reading “Day 8 of my fast. And of course a lot of new thoughts”

Last night, before I got to bed, I wanted to ‘talk to’ Source.

OK, I actually don’t know what Source is. But over the past 10 or so years I have learned that Source either doesn’t know something, and will let me know, or what source says yes to is actually true.

The culture… it is invisible.

Our culture is also the culture of shortcuts. The culture of quick. The culture of wanting instant. And, of course, the culture of wanting.

What feeds this is the culture of scarcity. We live in the culture of scarcity.

A person needs to see, needs to say that something is not enough. And then they act to fix it. Continue reading “The culture of scarcity chasing abundance…”

What can the Nobel Prize winning physicist’s story teach you? OR What did Frank Kern learn the hard way?

First, before I get into the story itself, let’s ponder the meaning of teaching so we are on the same page, OK?

As someone who attempts to teach, let me tell you what it’s like for me. I find a thousand different ways to say, demonstrate, frame what I want to teach. And I invent thousand and one stories. I find books that hint on what I want to teach. Often I sing it, I make it a comedy, make it a tragedy. And I make you read. I make you practice activating your eye muscles and the related brain areas… Continue reading “What the Nobel Prize winning physicist’s story teaches you”

The best training program I have ever participated in was the Introduction to the Forum Leaders Program at Landmark Education.

A good training, I say, begins with screening.

If the purpose is to get the participants trained.

If the purpose is to find out who, what kind of person you can’t train successfully, then accept everyone who applies.

Therefore, the first step of any ‘good’ training program is to screen the applicants. Continue reading “Attitudes: the All-or-nothing attitude causes rigidity”

Most of what is there to see can’t be seen neither in the small picture, nor does it match what is already approved to see in the culture.

When I look what kinds of fiction, what kinds of stuff attracts people nowadays, I find that the most popular genre is the kind of fiction where evil almost wins. Almost. Continue reading “-Seeing what you cannot see. Seeing what’s worth seeing”
