It is hard to read the label when you are inside the bottle.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

OK, Sophie, but what is the bottle you are in? And what is the label?

Most everything that is about you is the bottle and most everything that would clue you in why you are stuck, why you don’t feel well, why your life works the way it works is the label.

To read the label, you need get outside of the bottle… while you are also in it.

I call it bilocation… but not in the physical or esoteric sense…

I mean it in the intellectual sense. Continue reading “It is hard to read the label when you are inside the bottle.”

What kind of soil are you for the seeds I plant?

soil-types-who-you-are will grow or notWho is listening? Who is listening that you are unwilling or unable to move towards your dreams?

Warning: without the concept in this article, you can read 100 books, take 100 seminars, and they will not matter… chances are you have never heard about this concept.

In this article I am writing about a little known aspect of life… I couldn’t even find pictures for it… I will be using a gardening analogy,

What kind of soil are you?

Widespread incompetence, insufficiency, abominable service

What is the reason of the widespread incompetence, insufficiency and abominable service companies provide?

And I mean big companies, Amazon, Google, Twitter, Clickbank, Spectrum, nearly any company I deal with…

I am going to use muscletesting to answer most of the questions…

But before I go large, I am going to look at some of the things I can see, even though I am a shut-in.

Case study one:

I live in an apartment in a two-family home. Continue reading “Widespread incompetence, insufficiency, abominable service”

Scarcity, fear of not enough, reciprocal altruism…

Recently I learned some things… And when I learn something, I turn around and open my eyes widely… so I can see the big picture, so I can see how many and how far the dots are that belong to the same thing.

This article will document some of my learnings, and will let you see the dots that are not readily visible as part of the same distinction. Continue reading “Scarcity, fear of not enough, reciprocal altruism…”

Idee fixe… or how the mind and the mind-dwellers operate

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Where do you listen from? An important distinction

According to many awareness is the most missing when you are poor, sick, and miserable.

But what IS awareness? Aware of what? And with what organ? What sense? What equipment?

I call the awareness, really the same thing SEEING.

Why? just a personal preference… even though I probably would do better if I called it what smart people call it.

Awareness, the word, includes a certain level of conscious seeing…

The Selfish Gene explains much of why humans behave so badly

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

This will be, likely, the weirdest article I have ever published… Let’s how many brave people will read it… I read books on the Kindle. And on the Kindle you can highlight something and post it as a note on Goodreads. I think I have thousands of notes there…

I am using a few of them to create this article… weird? hell, I think so.

I am now surrounded with the purring, trilling sounds of freshly born raccoons… They are already fighting. For dominance. For who will eat, who will procreate… it is the nature of Life…

Humans have taken it to the next level… Continue reading “The Selfish Gene explains much of why humans behave so badly”

There is more than one way to skin a cat or solve a problem

We are in the middle of Passover. Passover or Pesach is a Jewish holiday, celebrating braking out of the prison of slavery. Being a slave how it has always been, how it is, the fixed mindset…

The process of reframing, and thus the Reframing Challenge is a PrisonBreak program. It is designed to take you from the misery of slavery to the joy of freedom. Please give it respect by treating it as that, not as MY good idea… Continue reading “There is more than one way to skin a cat or solve a problem”

Reframing… take the Precious I out of the picture

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

A student of mine gave me access to a course he bought that teaches psychiatrists to reframe the client’s story so it hurts less, or maybe doesn’t hurt at all.

Reframing sounds really simple: look at what is happening or what happened from a different angle, with different eyes.

The most important element of reframing is to step out of your persona, step out of your ego, step out of who you consider yourself to be. Continue reading “Reframing… take the Precious I out of the picture”

What’s is it that if it were there life would be different?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

What’s missing that if it were there life would be different? Your life, not all of life…

In yesterday’s article I said everyone has a keystone. A keystone that if you remove it, the whole arch, the whole construct of your life falls. The construct of the life you lead that is not going anywhere.

So I offered to muscletest that keystone for people.

I admit that first some of the results were unexpected. But after the result of the muscletest it was like ‘of course! that is what’s been missing!’

Self-control missing has been the most unexpected result.

So you want to live long… let’s look at that, OK?

Let’s get some clarity, shall we?

On longevity, or life expectancy…

There are all kinds of theories and hypotheses about the life expectancy of humans.

What do we know?

  • We know that some people, in spite of eating everything, in spite of smoking, drinking, they live a long life.
  • Others, in spite of every effort, they die when they die.
Most of the longevity theories are designed to fleece you.
