A Manifesto Against ‘Parenting’

A Manifesto Against ‘Parenting’

This is an article I snatched from the New York Times…

What you don’t know is this: you teach your children to color inside the lines, never experiment, never make mistakes, to live in fear, and to experience little. To not even experience what they experience. To be little soldiers that will make you look good, while you attempt to live your life and give as little attention to the kids as you can.

Hell on earth…

One one hand you are protective, on the other you neglect them… And then you fell guilty.

Just look back at your childhood. You are stunted, and your children are stunted.

This article explains some of why… some, not all.

In the article of my own that I will publish today (it’s not ready yet) I will add some more clarity.

I am changing… Why aren’t you? You can’t? You won’t?

I am changing… Why aren’t you? You can’t? You won’t?

the-measure-of-intelligenceI have been changing. Subtly.

The biggest problem with subtle changes is that they go unnoticed. And if you are like most people, you want encouragement, you want people to see that you are becoming something better.

But your environment is about as aware and as present as you are, which means: not very. And besides they are busy having their head up their ass… so until you are very very very different, they don’t notice it.

A good example is your weight: if you drop two dress sizes… then they notice it. But if you are doing it right, in a sustainable fashion, it’s taken you months… And for those months you had gotten no feedback.

The magic wand of instant change… aka manifestation

The magic wand of instant change… aka manifestation

Context is one of those words that unless you have enough capacities, especially the big picture capacity, is impossible to explain… at least it’s been impossible for me to explain to you.

And yet, if you want to improve the quality of your life, the magic wand to do that is context. Continue reading “The magic wand of instant change… aka manifestation”

Narrow cone of vision and your health

narrow-cone-vision-health-adviceImagine having to find your way through a maze without seeing past the tiny circle a flashlight can illuminate?

“Luckily” you only have to look at your life. Your health, your money, your love life.

You ARE living your life, a veritable maze, by the light of a flashlight.

You read an article here… yay, I see may way. A sound bite there… yay, I see now… But it is still the tiny flashlight method: you don’t see the big picture, you don’t see your way to the good life.

Seeing the full picture, the big picture capacity, looking with consciousness that can see everything, is like turning the ceiling light on: you’d be seeing a lot more, wouldn’t you? Making less “narrow picture” mistakes…

Osho on the pathless path to enlightenment

Osho on the pathless path to enlightenment

THE ANCIENTS SAID:

“(SELF-)CULTIVATION TAKES AN UNIMAGINABLE TIME (WHILE) ENLIGHTENMENT IN AN INSTANT IS ATTAINED.”

IF THE TRAINING IS EFFICIENT, ENLIGHTENMENT WILL BE ATTAINED IN ONE FINGERSNAP.

IN DAYS GONE BY CH’AN MASTER HUI CHUEH OF LANG YEH MOUNTAIN, HAD A DISCIPLE WHO CALLED ON HIM FOR INSTRUCTION. THE MASTER TAUGHT HER TO EXAMINE INTO THE SENTENCE: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”

SHE FOLLOWED HIS INSTRUCTION STRICTLY WITHOUT BACKSLIDING.

ONE DAY HER HOUSE CAUGHT FIRE, BUT SHE SAID: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”

ANOTHER DAY, HER SON FELL INTO THE WATER AND WHEN A BYSTANDER CALLED HER, SHE SAID: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”

SHE OBSERVED EXACTLY HER MASTER’S INSTRUCTION BY LAYING DOWN ALL CASUAL THOUGHTS.

Charlie Munger… quotes

charlie-mungerCharlie Munger was a college dropout who served as a meteorologist in the US Army Air Corps before graduating from Harvard Law.

And then he met Warren Buffett.

The rest is history.

As vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Munger is Buffett’s right-hand man. He has an estimated net worth of $1.19 billion.

Like Buffett, Munger is incredibly sharp in his wit and investing wisdom. You might even argue that his words are more blunt and unfiltered than Buffett’s.

We compiled a list of Munger’s most insightful quotes about investing, business, and life.

Check them out below:

overestimating-your-intelligence-could-be-a-major-pitfallOverestimating your intelligence could be a major pitfall.

If you think your IQ is 160 but it’s 150, you’re a disaster. It’s much better to have a 130 IQ and think it’s 120. Continue reading “Charlie Munger… quotes”

Where are the answers? Within or without?

I already know, I don't have to lookI spend time observing visitors’ behavior on my site. I wonder why they want to learn to connect to Source… I wonder why they want to know their vibration. I wonder why they come at all…

Finally, today, at least one of those questions got answered in one of Tai Lopez‘ emails… I’ll publish it here, and then I’ll comment.

He asks:

Are the answers within you?

The other day I was reading one of the greatest books of all time: The Analects by Confucius 1

One line in Book 15 stuck out, “I once did not eat all day and did not sleep all night in order to think, but there was no benefit. It would have been better to study.”

It reminded me of a lie so many of us have bought into – that all the answers are “inside of us.”

Confucius says that’s a bunch of B.S.

The answers are not within us. They are OUTSIDE of us – they are external.

Did you have a long holiday? lot of time with family?

Did you have a long holiday? lot of time with family?
Some capacities, especially the ones that are your main soul correction capacities, are hard to keep on.

What does Source have to say about that?

There are different reasons.

Reason #1: You need more capacities turned on before you can tackle the “big one”.

Any capacity dealing with your Dark Side has huge support from the Dark Side, namely the Opponent. Continue reading “Did you have a long holiday? lot of time with family?”

Goal setting and other usual activities for January…

Goal setting and other usual activities for January…

You may want to teach what you need to learn. Why? Because that way you can teach from your own learning experience, instead of tree of knowledge.

So far so good… but…

Some things lie just outside of your reach… you can never really learn them, I think. Continue reading “Goal setting and other usual activities for January…”

What would Sophie say? What would Sophie do?

What would Sophie say? What would Sophie do?

This is a little nifty test to see if you’ve been listening to what I say with your mind, integrating it into what you already know, or with your whole being… If you learned words or if you learned beingness.

When in doubt, when in trouble, when you have a moment of clarity, ask yourself: What would Sophie say? What would Sophie do?

If you have an instant insight, it says one thing. If you are searching in your memory banks: it says another thing. And if you come up blank, that is yet another thing.

I sometimes do that, myself. Why? because Sophie, in these questions, is a consciousness. An active consciousness. A way to look at the world. An attitude. A fresh view of life. A view that is not limited by your personal interest, your group interest, but involves your higher consciousness interest.
