Your outer world truthfully reflects your inner world.
But the question begs to be asked: what do you mean ‘inner world’?
People, teachers, even psychologists all talk about the mind, then they expand it to beliefs, but if that is your inner world, then you are stuck.
Nothing will change the mind, nothing will change beliefs, directly. Continue reading “Your outer world truthfully reflects your inner world”

The ignorant is easily mislead. And we are all ignorant and thus mislead to one degree or another. It is on the scale of 1 to 100 like most things in life.
Ignorance, ignorant simply means: lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing… often most things to be precise.
Ignoring, the verb, interestingly, means: make room for it, pay it no heed, grant it no significance. Continue reading “The ignorant is easily mislead. And we are all ignorant”
Why can a doer teach you what they do but not their results?
Said in another way: if you do exactly, all the moves of what another does: will you get the same result?
And can another’s principle, credo create the same for you as it has created for them?
if you repeat the words of another’s credo, they are just words, and you are lying through your teeth.

I have been ‘harping’ on this principle with my students: hear the principle first, and then hear the rest…
Imagine that you are Cinderella… on the night of the big ball.
If I asked you (Cinderella) to separate the wheat from the chaff… what would you do first? If you are like me, you first find out what is the difference… in looks, in weight, and then start separating them accordingly.
I even used to use this capacity (oops, forgot to say, it’s a capacity!) to hire or not hire someone to work with me. I would ask someone to separate a pile of things by their category…
Universally missing capacity… I found out. The underlying capacity can be said with these words: be able to tell the forest for the trees. Continue reading “Principle: Make your plane land on the landing strip”

If you suck the last little bit of energy out of your battery and then charge it, next day it will give you a little more…
This is not true for all types of batteries… but, it is true for most people…
If you suck the energy out of the battery sparingly, if you are more worried about the battery than about building something with its energy… at the end of the day energy is left in the battery. Continue reading “One model for a satisfying life is the battery.”

Summary: You may be stupid, you may be doing stupid and you may not know it. The biggest breakthrough for a stupid person is to declare that they are stupid. Why? Because it would force them to look before they label, act, talk, argue, say yes, or say no… Stupid is a state, not an ability…
So, what is the state of a stupid person? They think that they understand everything. They think that what they see is what’s there…
Koan: For you Everything is the same as everything else … except not always Continue reading “Are You stupid? Or are you just BEING stupid?”

I am told by Source that I am enlightened. 🙁
And that there have been only 19 people, in all the history of humanity, that got enlightened.

Warning: the biggest learning is in the PS!I could make enemies with this article. But don’t worry: I won’t, unless by accident.
The success or business gurus, whose business will suffer if you follow this path, aren’t in the habit of checking what people say about the stuff they teach. They are so sure they got you, hook, line and sinker, that they will never suspect that they lost you to some other theory of success.
And they will be right. Continue reading “The Tiny Steps Approach To Life, aka trimtabbing or Kaizen”

I was having an interesting conversation with one of my students.
Because he wanted to write his thesis on the Feelings book, an unknown entity, he needed to gain his thesis counselor’s support. And maybe even his enthusiasm. Or he was going to be alone… and it was going to be a tough road to hoe. Continue reading “Who are you? Beauty, truth or goodness? Let’s find out”
