Epigenetics… the path of human evolution or devolution

How I use the energy that I download during the Days of Power

After I moved out of my parents’ home into my own place, I met this guy who became my boy friend. My very first boy friend.

He was a philosophy student, son of a well known philosopher.

I didn’t understand a word they were speaking. When I typed up his thesis I bastardized some of the words, because I had no idea they weren’t typos. They didn’t look like regular words.

Here I am 53 years later. If you asked me what profession I have, I would say that I am closest to being a philosopher. Boggles the mind. Doesn’t it? lol Continue reading “Epigenetics… the path of human evolution or devolution”

The Masterskill… the secret nearly everyone misses

Mental Bandwidth and what to do to increase it

If you ordered a large pizza but you had to share it with everyone in your neighborhood, then even after ordering a hundred of those, you would barely get a slice, right? Some teenagers can eat half of a large pizza themselves, so unless you protect your pizza, you’ll remain hungry.

If an internet company sells you service, but they have all their thousands of customers want to watch a movie, you’ll get a spotty connection and miss half the movie.

That is bandwidth… it is limited and the more people use it, the less remains for you. Continue reading “The Masterskill… the secret nearly everyone misses”

If you don’t manage yourself, someone, something else will

manage-yourself-for changeSo I guess it is that time again… when the broken faced child comes out of the woodwork…

I use this expression ‘broken face child’ as if I expected you to know what I am talking about… You probably don’t.

So let me explain: When you were little, things happened to you that were beyond your comprehension. You had to make up some story,some interpretation of what was happening. It is normal.

The ‘normal’ story everyone makes up  is this: ‘There is something wrong here. Either with me, or with them, or with the world, that’s why this is happening.’

Most of us made up: ‘There is something wrong with me.’ Continue reading “If you don’t manage yourself, someone, something else will”

Permission to be the way you are, warts and all

permission to growOnly when you have permission to be how you are, who you are, where you are, that you have permission to grow.

If you don’t, it you should be more, better, or different, then you can’t grow… because your starting point is that A should not be A…

In this work we attempt to change our genes so we can become all we can become.

I read this quote in an email today.

I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.‘ — Georgia O’Keeffe. Continue reading “Permission to be the way you are, warts and all”

Do you need passion to love your work? The right work?

Help! I have been a loser! Can you help? Please?

So I watched this Walter Presents French cop series on Amazon Prime.

In one episode they have a serial killer. The killer must be part of a traveling circus, because every killing happened while the circus was in town.

So they go to the circus ground… and question the owner. And while they do that the son of the owner shows up, stammering his proud confession that he did it.

When they do a search the cops find that the boy, now a man, was kidnapped and made the owner’s son… but he was a disappointment to the circus…

So the cops contact his birth mother and arrange a phone call between mother and son. The birth mother says: ‘I found you after 20 years. I love you no matter what you have done.Continue reading “Help! I have been a loser! Can you help? Please?”
