One of the measures in my Starting Point Measurements is how many bits of information, how many balls you can keep in the air at the same time.
Most people can only keep one ball, reliably, in the air. The moment something better, exciting shows up, they drop it… If they start juggling two,they drop both off… Continue reading “How many balls, ideas, projects can you keep in the air?”

One of the most impactful 10-week seminars I ever did with Landmark Education asked the participants to look at their lives as a business. Me, Inc.
At that point in my life I was better, much better at business than at life… and maybe, if you look closely, I still am.
I am going to ask you the same thing Landmark Education asked us: consider your life a business. If you are suddenly experiencing an oh oh moment, or an ugh moment, you are not alone.
Almost everyone I know is guilty of misusing their assets, wasting them, and not paying any attention at the bottom line… so this will be a useful article, if you can just get over yourself, and get curious… and into learning mode.
Ready? No? Then come back later…

Desire and ITCH are largely the same state… neither can be fulfilled, neither allow you to be happy… ever.
I speak about this in quora.com
http://bit.ly/quoraupvote
To begin: the question shows that you have a desire to be desire-less… very funny.
Desire, at its seed/root level says: I don’t have something that is important to me. I want it in some future.
Desire shows that you are living in a some-day future, and that you are miserable. Lacking. Needy. Continue reading “Desire trap… or how desire takes you out”

I woke up with the question: if circumstances changed, would I be happier? Would YOU be happier?
I asked Source, and the answer was a surprising no.
How come, you ask? Isn’t that I am not happy because of things in my life, in the world? things that frustrate me, anger me, drive me crazy?
My health, for example. My neighbors. Workmen that cause almost as much damage as service.
And every question Source answers with a resounding no.
WTF?! Continue reading “Why changing your circumstances won’t change anything”

A different way to approach your ITCH is this ‘poem’ I swiped from today’s Monday Morning Memo
It takes four people to make a world.
1. One person wants acceptance.
They hope to save the relationship.
Under pressure, they acquiesce. Continue reading “What you most want in life”

… and unless you feel you are growing, you are not happy… The most powerful mood-remedy is growth.
Yesterday I lead my evergreen workshop, What’s the Truth About you.
It was exhausting for me. I got a lot of thank yous.
Here is a little story about truth:
According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: Continue reading “Whenever you are not growing, you are dying…”

I wrote this article five years ago, but it is as fresh as if I wrote it today. And, of course… I updated it.
On today’s Talk-to-me call I had an insight: I saw something I had never seen:
You are out of step with yourself.
The you that interfaces with the world, does stuff, makes mistakes, overeats, gets angry is either ahead of or behind the you that you really are. The you that tries to look good, keep up with the appearances is always trying to fix the you that you really are.
No acceptance, no tolerance, no compassion, no love, no music, no harmony, no dance, no peace. Continue reading “You are out of step with yourself. You are split. You are schizophrenic.”
Occasionally people from other ‘disciplines’ email me and ask me to muscletest with Source if what they are taught there, what they believe or want to believe as true or false.
I could get billions of emails like that, because all belief systems, especially religion, have beliefs that are not true.
If you are someone who love your beliefs, stop reading… If your beliefs sustain you in life, stop reading. Continue reading “True or False. Books, programs, religious beliefs, magic”

Once you distinguish something, you start seeing it everywhere… not only where you expect it, but really everywhere. This is done by something called the reticular activator or reticular activating system.
I teach distinctions, distinguishing, and my students are reluctant to learn and start seeing… Until you see it everywhere, everything is still about you… and no transformation can take place.
The new distinction I have learned from a set of books by Hungarian engineer, Gyozo Margóczi, is that all emotions are created by words, even though feelings are not… Feelings are a little pressure here, tightness there… no meaning. There is a feeling and then you add a word, and you get emotion. Depending on the word you add, the emotion changes.
Here is the map-of-feelings-translated-to-emotions2020 with the corresponding feelings… Continue reading “Scientists are trying to keep you on the 15th floor”

Inspiration… inspired… inspirable…
What do these words mean?
I measure how much the spirit is active within you… and how much, on the current vibrational level, the current integrity level, the current about-me level, the spirit can be aroused.
You cannot be more inspiring that you can be inspired.
The number one communication tool you have available, creating a vision in another person, about themselves, about a project, about the future.
When you can create a vision and communicate it to yourself or to another, all upsets disappear, and you have the amazing result: the person (you?) wants to do what is consistent with that vision… which is what you would want them to do.
