There are two types of students and there are two types of teachers.
Teacher One says: I’ll teach you!
Teacher Two says: I won’t quit until you learned it!
Student One says: I’ll come to your class, I’ll pay for your program and then I’ll try!
Student Two says: I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure I learn it and have it for myself. Continue reading “Why you do what you do, why you don’t do what you don’t do?”

Homo sapiens is moronic. In fact, the more educated, the more worldly, the more knowledgeable, the more moronic.
Let me explain:
There are two ways to behave in any situation: you either react or your respond. Continue reading “Intelligence: the ability to deal with new situations”

This article explains how come that you can only interact with Maya, which is ‘not that’ in Sanskrit, i.e. not reality, illusion, shadow play, the hologram, etc.
It is much less mystical than the Vedanta imagines it: it is quite simple and it’s explained in this article.
Without the capacity that I speak about here, you are going to continue living in Maya for all your life. Continue reading “Turn around fast enough to catch your shadow”

I have a workshop I give occasionally. (What’s missing) In all honesty, I stole it from Landmark Education, and yet I consider it my own.
In that workshop there is a moment of drama. Drama that opens your eyes wide, and you are mortified by seeing who you are, and how you are. Continue reading “How bad do you want it? Not that bad, I see!”
Great stuff I want you to read. I found this on Quora
When you read all the comments (there are tons of them) you can see how much tree of knowledge there is out there, wishful thinking, hoping that there is no work in becoming enlightened.
I think that if you are hoping to lighten your load, and start soaring, you have come to the right place.

I haven’t been a guru follower, but I have always been curious and skeptical about the gurus reporting about their enlightenment as an incident that started out hard and then suddenly it became funny so they laughed, maybe even rolled on the floor.
What was the funny joke they all shared?
I always had a hunch that if you wanted to keep a secret you wouldn’t share it with anyone… not even one other person. And they didn’t.
So what is a secret you don’t want to share, if you are supposedly a guru, a teacher? Continue reading “Why did Jesus really say: turn the other cheek?”

I am very lucky: the questions my students send me have caused me to have a deeper understanding for my own work.
These students are often seeking new insights in their pressing circumstances from me. Lately it is all about making a decision to stay or leave, to let go or to fight.
It is a huge responsibility to talk to people who are looking for answers.

When you look at the consciousness level chart, as much as I don’t like David Hawkins, he is right about some things… And dead wrong about many others.
When you want to accomplish something, in addition to know what is the next step, you need to know what is the ‘final’ or ultimate target, so you can stay your course. Continue reading “Levels of consciousness and other important distinctions”

I am working on this whole Vine phenomenon in the world… that has been encouraged for the past two years very visibly…
the energy of either you or me…The energy underneath between arguing factions about race, about rights, about equality, about sex, about just about everything.
The energy of ‘my way or the highway’, the energy of the Oracle that is always right, the despot, the authoritarian, the fascist, the dogmatic, the self-righteous that used to be occasional but now is the norm.
The energy of the villain… Continue reading “Don’t you just hate it when you find out that you’re wrong?”

I watched Dodgeball the movie yesterday.
I am watching The School or Rock today…
…and I had a huge realization… It has been hiding under the surface…
I had never seen this movie, and I didn’t think much of it, but today I am watching it, and I am looking at it from two unique vantage points: the students’ and the other teachers’.
And both: I can relate to.
As a child and young adult I played in a band, I sang in a band, I performed pantomime, I played my guitar on stage…
Most of my classmates were only doing their school and homework bit… they were boring, and I didn’t fit in.
But when it comes to life: nothing beats having diverse experiences. nothing beats having an experience of sticking it to the man… whoever the man is. Whatever the ‘man’ is.
Priceless. Continue reading “What is your PEP and why you may not have much?”
