The most important thing I never learned in Landmark Education… that allowed me to grow
In 1967 I applied to participate in a 6-day on site advanced program in Landmark Education… it was still called Werner Erhard and Associates at the time.
I was denied. The staff member for admittance told me: Until you learn the difference between thinking and doing, you can’t do the course.

I have been in this inquiry since February when I first heard Tai say: the strongest predictor of your success, in any area of life, is the level of your awareness.
So what is this awareness that is so important.
Nine months… it’s taken me till today to get complete clarity of what this ‘thing’ awareness is.
Six million Jews perished in the gas chambers and mass graves during the holocaust, because they were not aware.
Tens of millions of people were ashamed of themselves and their association with Germany, people who elected Hitler and the Nazi party… because they were not aware.
Continue reading “Awareness… it’s seeing what you are looking at. Accurately”
I read a lot of books. About 100 books a year. Cover to cover. I don’t subscribe to Tai’s reading method…
I left a 2000 book library when I left Hungary. that was 34 years ago.
Every book is an opportunity to shatter my view of the world. And many do. Sometimes not directly… sometimes through the effect the book has on other people.
This is what is happening with this book I am currently reading, The Upside of Your Dark Side. And previously with the book “Curious”
My view of others got turned upside down… sideways… OMG. Talk about upsetting my apple cart! lol.

What is the intrinsic role of commitment… making a commitment, committing to something?
Ever asked the question why people get engaged? Engaged to be married…
Engagement is making a commitment…
But commitment is tricky.
Real commitment comes from the Intrinsic Self, and you don’t need to make it. It is what the Intrinsic Self wants you to do…
Most things you call commitment, are impositions on the Intrinsic Self, impositions on you. Duty, obligation, drudgery.
They come from either an outside goal or an ego goal… and they don’t get the support of the Intrinsic Self.
The engagement period drives up the real sentiments, and if there is any honesty, will prove or disprove the authenticity of the commitment.
Authenticity means: coming from the intrinsic Self.

If you found out that all the wrong turns, mistakes you made in your life… probably thousands, you made them because you didn’t see what there was to see.A number of years ago, one leader in Landmark Education said: Most people either don’t sign up or quit as soon as they see it.
See what? You ask…
See that the solution to the issues of their lives, the decisions that would have taken them to success were there, but they didn’t see them.
I didn’t see them, and you didn’t see them.

People who are hopeless, people who can’t see a future for themselves are more likely to throw their money on unproductive purchases, or YOLO…
Ever since I’ve started to download the energy of the Days of Power, I’ve been wondering how I am going to know that it’s working… how it will manifest, practically, in my life.
Whenever something new comes in, my imagination goes to the known, the familiar, and I guess that is how the human mind works.
So I had no idea what may happen, what could happen, given the energy.

I watched and followed the first Metabolic Prime workout videos.
He said something interesting that I want to expand on: resting is part of working out.
Now, I don’t know much about working out, but I do have some experience… This article won’t be about working out though…
I live on the top of a hill. When I moved here 13 years ago, I could walk down, around the hill, and up again, on a different street, in 12 minutes. I clocked it.
Today, due to aging, pain, and lack of exercise, it takes me 3-4 times longer. A big deal.
So when I signed up to the senior exercise class, I was praying that I could get back up the hill, on my own power… but took money with me for a cab for security.
This was three weeks ago. Continue reading “Taking a break for rest… does it mean you are off-track?”
It was 9 am, and I was already tired… No, correction: exhausted.
So I went back to bed, really curious what was the reason.
I asked and muscletested questions…
I noticed that I was not breathing deeply: in fact I could not. The breath would not go through.
So I doubled up on the question: what is the cause of this inability to take a deep breath? Health, concerns, each individually, and all said no.
Then I asked: feeling under pressure… stress.
And yes, that was it.
Continue reading “Stress, pressure, and overwhelm… no wonder you are tired!”
You can’t have it both ways… and you have to have it both waysThe West, the culture of the West is forcing. Forceful. Goal oriented. Mercantile.
No one is interested in the process, only in the result.
Western people are unhappy, and don’t even know the meaning of joy. Continue reading “The path is very narrow. Strait and narrow?”
We are all born seeing ourselves as the center of the world. We don’t know we are the center of our world… we just don’t know there is any other vantage point to look from.
Most of us never learn it.
Like one of my students: every time I recommend anything, she answers: “I agree…”
She hasn’t crossed that threshold, that divide between infant and even toddler… absolutely and completely ignorant to the fact that using the personal vantage point is ineffective, because it is delusional.
This is also true if and when you can see that other people see things differently from how you see them, but your view is accurate and theirs is inaccurate.
Same delusional, baby-view of the world. Continue reading “Cognitive biases, blind spots, a sticky point and a “remedy””
