70% of all people feel that they are stuck… And I guess, 100% of the people feel, at least occasionally, that they are stuck.

I think the main issue that has arrested human evolution is not in the individual, but in the system.
What is the system? because it is always the system… stupid.
But the word system is as slippery as the word context… because it always means something different, yet there is a distinction that points to context or points to system regardless of size, age, or circumstance. Continue reading “Who has the right to say? The right to judge you?”

I will have a webinar for people who bought the Allowing DNA capacity…So, of course, I put my whole life into the context: what is allowing?
And it should not surprise me that life is showing up consistent with that. Consistent with: allowing is missing when something doesn’t go well.
What does that mean, Sophie?
It means: suddenly I need to allow a ton more things that under nearly any other context.

Greed is an energy that is coming directly from the selfish gene
Greed is wanting.
But the wanting is a fixation. It blocks the flow.
And greed doesn’t care about anything else. It wants what it wants when it wants it, and doesn’t want what it doesn’t want when it doesn’t want it. Continue reading “What does WANTING do to your spirit, health, wealth?”

What’s special about the roller coaster is the height it takes you and the depth it takes you… The experience is aliveness.
When your life has no highs and maybe no deep lows, what you are, instead of being alive, is a walking dead. Resigned, and settled for the scraps at life’s table.
You see others at the table, seemingly happy, seemingly alive, and you feel regret, shame, and envy. Continue reading “How dead are you? If your life is not a roller coaster…”

Simple answer: You lack skills and capacities…
You can boil water, make coffee in the coffee maker. Drive a car, open your smartphone… You are not quite hopeless… or are you? Not quite hapless either… or are you?
One of the measurements in the Starting Point Measurements is your vocabulary: how well do you actually know, how accurately know what words mean…
Here we look into words (distinctions) that define your ability to live a good life… skills, competencies, abilities and such. Continue reading “How to get out of the rut you are in? Get unstuck…”

Message to my friend: please don’t be offended. This was too good a story, too educational, to pass by. I didn’t mean to offend you, or invalidate your effort.
Is responsibility a capacity? If it isn’t, it should be… but it isn’t.
Responsibility, the behavior, has lots of other capacities that need to be lit up for it to work. Continue reading “Is responsibility a capacity? A case study”

I experienced a few weeks ago that I can bring party to life.It was at my weekly exercise class. The teacher has 600 songs on his tablet… and we do everything to the music and the rhythm of the songs.
You can use that to do the movements normally, or the way I do it: like a crazy breakdancer… not the moves, just the temperament… I am getting old. But I used to dance like a breakdancer… no kidding.
How you dance expresses who you are the most accurately… of course within the boundaries of your physical intelligence.

This is a somewhat edited article from 2011. In 2011 I still thought that I can upgrade the DNA of every person on the planet.
