The 3 Categories Of Gurus Mirrored In The 3 Types Of Seekers

There are three categories of gurus and three types of seekers that fit each other as glove and hand

Guru Category 1. The Hopeful Path:

Naive, pliable, hopeful. Hoping that what you are doing is going to take you out of the misery: having feelings, and a constant battle inside between the aspects of a human being, each pulling in a different direction.You really really really want to be enlightened! Really… lol. But you know you aren’t. There is shame and guilt and sadness in your emotions, and often anguish: the fear of being caught. Ultimately you “do” this spirituality stuff to get away from being human. You fail. There is no escape… you are human, with all that comes with that territory.

Managing yourself…

Let me start with a story that will upset you:…

As I mentioned in an article yesterday, I just bought into a two thousand dollar program. It seems to be the best prepared program I have ever done, with amazing organization, attention to detail, little videos explaining everything again and again, purpose, how to find my way, what order to do things and why.
To my surprise I experienced hate as I was listening to the originator of this program.
He can do everything I can. This program already has thousands of people signed up. And I don’t think I matter to anyone, even though the teacher is emphasizing how much each person matters to him… I KNOW he is lying.
I have a chip on my shoulder. My ego is bruised… and… Continue reading “Managing yourself…”

A great video training on how to build success in your relationships… I really love this one.

You can’t build a pyramid without a foundation (even if you’re in the alien school of pyramid construction!)

So, what is the foundation of your pyramid?

In our conversations a pyramid will be a code word for your vibration, for your financial freedom, for your health, for yur happiness…

The common shared characteristic of all those areas is that without a foundation you can’t build anything that is worth building.

People at large, you, lack any foundation.

Some have some spotty foundation.

And the outliers have a strong foundation.

Why is the sad guru sad? … Paramahansa Yogananda

Yogananda… I have measured his vibration at different times, in different contexts, always having a different number come up. So today I spent some time in his space… to see what’s up.

Paramahansa Yogananda was a sad person. For two reasons, the two sides of the same coin: he had something that he wanted to share, and it wasn’t shareable.

His words are simply his idea what made him the way he was, and the words did not communicate. Did not do for others what they, he thought, did for him.

So, slowly but surely, his words became a lie. Now, he himself wasn’t the way he said people should be: he had sadness, grieving, devastation move into his heart.

And greed… wanting. Wanting it to be different. Wanting that burning go away from his throat and his upper chest.

And then it all fell apart… and what remained is pretense.

5 Characteristics Of Grit — How Many Do You Have?

Reprinted from Forbes… ¹

Recently some close friends visited, both of whom have worked in education with adolescents for over 40 years. We were talking about students in general and when I asked what has changed with regards to the character of kids, in unison they said “grit” – or more specifically, lack thereof. There seems to be growing concern among teachers that kids these days are growing soft.

When I took a deeper dive, I found that what my friends have been observing in-the-field, researchers have been measuring in the lab. The role grit plays in success has become a topic du jour, spearheaded by Angela Duckworth, who was catapulted to the forefront of the field after delivering a TED talk which has since been viewed well over a million times.

Expanding human being aka living an interesting life

I am reading one of my all time favorite books. Again. I was guided to read it again. As I have been guided to watch everything I watch, read everything I read.

Sometimes the key to the insight is on page 800 of a book, or in episode 60 of a Netflix series.

The trick is: trust, don’t be in a hurry

Don’t expect the “key” to be a direct answer, and once you have what you were needing, acknowledge it.

This book is full of clues for me. Clues for why you are living a life of quiet desperation, why you don’t live an interesting life.

The book is about a little girl who gets an interactive smart book, to teach her life.

Neal Stephenson: The Diamond Age. Wikipedia says: The most important quality to achieving an “interesting life” is deemed to be a subversive attitude towards the status quo.

She is four years old when she gets the book.

Can Addictions Be Cured By Energy Treatments, Meditation, Law of Attraction, Even Activation? Any Idea? Read This Post To Be Surprised…

We are all addicted. How dare you say that? Well, if you live in the 21st Century, you are addicted. How come? Because addiction is simply pleasure seeking behavior. The hunt for more endorphins.

There are two kinds of pleasure:

Seeking for excitement or other dopamine releasing activity or substance
seeking for the cessation of some discomfort or pain. Ask a person who is in pain and ask what they want. They won’t say: I want a shot of whiskey. They will say: I want this pain to stop. That is also pleasure seeking behavior, just like:Escape from depression.
Escape from the noise of the world.
Escape from your troubles.
Escape from your pressing duties.
Escape from your debts, worries, pain, anxiety, phobias, fears, guilt, etc. is all pleasure seeking activity.

Which makes us all addicted. To different things, to different degrees, but yet…

Is your body stuck in survival mode? Framework for health

This article starts out very philosophical. If you can’t stand that, jump to here…

What is health?

No one has defined it yet, because just like “good” was until Dr Robert Hartman came along to define it, existed only in a context of good this or good that.

Updated: Hungry? Eager? How resisting “hunger” can raise your vibration.

Hunger is a poor advisor

It is said by many people, that you shouldn’t go grocery shopping when you are hungry.

Why? Because when you are hungry, the context of your being becomes to satisfy that hunger. Everything seems to be the answer to the question: this is the best way to eliminate hunger, to satisfy hunger.

So you end up spending money on stuff that is not good for you, that you should not have bought, maybe ever, in the first place.

Where is the Value? Money Series Part 3 Republished

Value ² is in the eye of the buyer

I have had a great day. In a conversation with Sarah I started to see what are some of the things you need help with.

It’s become clear that creating an inventory is going to be difficult for you, so I am going to create detailed instructions to help you with that.

The second thing is this: In every interaction when you are operating from your own vantage point, you and your partner are like two trains passing each other in the dark.

What do I mean?
