Ode to an exceptional teacher, Robert Plank

Robert Plank and Sophie Benshitta Maven I “met” my business/marketing teacher, Robert Plank, 37 years my junior, red-headed punk programmer genius at the time, in early 2009.

I wanted to learn php programming from him, because I didn’t know what I wanted to do in life, so learning programming sounded like a good idea.

I had been learning marketing, mindset, everything and anything… when you don’t know where you are going, every path takes you there… lol.

I remember being on the first webinar with him. I didn’t know I was an empath and I could feel the tension between the two partners like my own, and I was rooting for Robert. He stammered, he talked to fast, he was eager and loved teaching!

I could not learn anything in the first course, nothing in the second course, ditto the third course, but I was coming back.

Then on the fourth course I could do three out of the 10 assignments, and I knew I found a home.

Doing the assignments is both a capacity issue and a mindset issue.

Soul Correction: Sharing The Flame, The Light

Soul Correction: Sharing The Flame, The Light
soul correction: sharing the lightSoul Correction: Sharing the light. (23)

A single candle, though its light is weak, banishes darkness. But it needs to be lit.

When you hide your light under a bushel basket so no one can see it: you are doing no one a service, including yourself.

Your job is to share your light, and trust that your single light will light up the life of all you touch.

what is love? how do you go about getting it? what is it buying you?

crying baby reaches out to be picked up What is love?

When we are babies: love is attention. We can’t do anything for ourselves, and someone paying attention to us equals love to us. Our comfort, our survival depends on it.

We each “earned” the attention inĀ  different ways, and then settled on one or two ways that worked the best.

We cried for the bottle in a whiny way, suggesting to our caretaker that we are dying. Pleading, begging, modulating our cry until we got a response.

crying baby We cried for the bottle with anger, anguish, or threat. We cried to get a clean diaper. We cried to be picked up.

We also manipulated our caretakers by smiles, by reaching out to them, grabbing their fingers, maybe laugh, little manipulative signs that made them feel good, liked, maybe even loved.

Just like pets learn to push your buttons: it is all self-serving, to make us get attention and food, shelter, and petting.

soul guidance through  a movie: an officer and a gentleman Movie Guidance from the Soul: An Officer and a Gentleman (1982)

I saw that movie not quite a year ago… and it’s 30 years old? Of course, Soul was forcing me to watch it. Not my kind of movie, though it was a good movie.

I just got today why I needed to watch it.

The movie is about this kid who had a dream of becoming a fighter pilot. He had nothing going for him, he was spoiled, weak, and street smart.

Soul Correction #32: “Memories” or Merry-go-Round

soul correction merry go round Soul correction 32

This is the soul correction that matches the theory of living a life of a fairy tale… but always play the victim.

Here is how it goes (at least on the surface): you make a mistake. Example: you accept a ride from a stranger because it’s raining so hard that you can’t get a taxi to go home. 1 You get into trouble, he drives you to a place other than where you wanted to go, rapes you, robs you, or kidnaps you…

More about tithing… Become a value recognizer

More about tithing… Become a value recognizer

More about tithing;

In the previous article on tithing we discussed the question whether to tithe or not to tithe.

In this article we’ll look at the issue: if you want to tithe: what is the best way, what is the best place, from the point of view of your own self-interest.

The distinction I’d like to introduce here: Value recognizer, and I suggest that you become one. Why? You’ll see… invaluable!

The ‘hidden’ attitude that eats your lunch. And leaves you clueless as if to what happened

Yesterday I was on a group coaching call where people had a chance to get on the ‘hot seat’, meaning they could lay out their issue and get coaching.

This is a business coaching group I am a part of. Continue reading “The ‘hidden’ attitude that eats your lunch…”

Being, Granting Beingness, granting being, allowing to be

Being, Granting Beingness, granting being, allowing to be

value-to-beingnessWhatever you resist, make wrong, want to change, fix, and can’t leave alone, hooks you and makes you prisoner.

Now, here is the rub. Talking about flying isn’t. Talking about beingess isn’t.

Beingness is created by WORD, but talking about it doesn’t do anything for anyone.

Werner Erhard talks about beingness, Ron L. Hubbard talked about beingess, the gurus talk about beingness…

Good or bad things equally. Often when you stop…

    • My chiropractor has been unavailable Tuesday mornings for almost a month. By now I am hurting. I spent two hours last night trying to get comfortable before I could fall asleep.

I would have never know how much I needed regular adjustments without taking a long break.

Going there every week, kind of poo-pooing the individual experiences is what it’s taken me to become virtually pain free. I shared it with the chiropractor, because I thought that it is a good idea for his marketing: after all most people do not go to chiropractors, because they can’t even imagine that it can help… or they go when they are really broken.

A few years ago…
