Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
My Sunday calls, a kind of podcast with limited accessibility (paid), used to be called Sunday Rants.
A rant is a loud and extended complaint. 1
I am a joyfully exuberant person… I stand out wherever I go, some people love me around, others hate me… I make ripples, I ruffle feathers. I am that way. I don’t try to, I don’t have a “what to do to appear exuberant”… Continue reading “If you can’t even SEE a better future…”
Life is an experiment. Unless you only have good and bad, successful or failure in your vocabulary
An experiment is always successful. It is successful at showing what it shows. Whether you interpret accurately what it shows or not… it is up to you. And then what you do with what it suggests is also up to you…
‘Do not be timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment.‘ (Ralph Waldo Emerson) Continue reading “Life is an experiment. Unless you live in the binary world”
Change is the end result of all true learning ~ Leo Buscaglia
I found this site, Quotation Celebration, by accident.
And, unusual for me, I signed up to the notification list.
This quote came in today’s email.
It is the perfect quote for where my students are at: unless there is a change, nothing has happened. You got some mind candy, some insights, maybe some new rules to resist, but it is all useless. Continue reading “Change is the end result of all true learning ~ Leo Buscaglia”
As I have said before, soul correction is a set of character defects, specific to your soul correction, that you need to overcome in a lifetime.
Track record through written history shows, that unless someone has guidance, expert guidance, they will not overcome the character defects: it is as if the character defect protects itself.

Continuous effort — not strength or intelligence — is the key to unlocking YOUR potential.How much potential you have? Except for one person, Elon Musk, the Tesla guy, everyone is only using less than 10% of their potential. He stands out with a whopping 11%.
How much potential remains dormant in you? If my example is any indication, about 93% of your potential is never breached…
Why? Because you feel, you act, you consider yourself fixed. Continue reading “Continuous effort — not strength or intelligence”
This article was removed from Medium.com… I guess it offended a “star” there…
The person whose articles inspired this one has 10 active predatory genes…
In my next article, the one I am working on, I’ll ponder about that high number… As I just did, in my Sunday call with an old friend who is like the perfect mirror to me…
I don’t publish those calls for general consumption: they are a tad gossipy, I talk about people there… but select subscribers can get it… $15 a pop… and worth it, if you are are willing to change your mind… Most never will. You can email me for a link… and I’ll decide if I want you to have it or not.

Predatory Genes and Quantum reality: There is order in the universe, even if it is not readily observable to you
The visible order, what you can see, is just the top 1%. Below that there is 99% that is order, but you can’t see it.
Of course you expect the order to be obvious, with clear rules, so you don’t have to be responsible for thinking, observing, adjusting your actions to how it is… and ultimately for any of your actions, any of your results.
Too many or too few predatory genes combined with human culture are deadly, deadly in its consequences. Continue reading “Predatory Genes and Quantum reality: disorder or order?”
Species-wide, the ability to change is called adaptability. Species that can adapt survive. Species that don’t… don’t.
“Adaptability as a skill refers to the ability of a person to change his actions, course or approach to doing things in order to suit a new situation. We constantly change our lifestyles because our world is changing always. … That is an example of adaptability.”
But what happens if you don’t recognize that it is a new situation… when you look at everything exactly the same way as before? Then you are stuck. Continue reading “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change”
Almost any puzzle worth its name has a “catch”… that doesn’t look anything worth exploring.
It looks innocuous, unimportant, just like anything and everything else.
Whether it is physical puzzle or a mental puzzle, it has one catch…
In my growth I have faced and solved many puzzles. Continue reading “The puzzle of human evolution, how are we doing?”
There is a behavior that I used to have, and have successfully beaten.
The behavior is the “out of sight/out of mind”, “now that I am doing something else, I don’t remember the things I have been doing, promised, supposed to do…”
If they are busy looking at something, they are so busy, that their water is not energized, their food list is not honored, they don’t practice their guitar, they don’t read, nothing. Just do that one thing.
With social media, smart phones, this is getting even worse… and I didn’t think it could get any worse than it was before.
