A minor miracle happened yesterday morning…I found that one of my students who had willfully turned off The Sight capacity, unexpectedly allowed it to stay on. Or maybe it was a major miracle… we shall see. Continue reading “Win the war not the battles… or where are you looking?”

Philosopher Miguel de Unamuno declared, “Everything that exalts and expands consciousness is good, while that which depresses and diminishes it is evil.”
This idea will be intensely true for you and applicable to you in the coming weeks. It will be your sacred duty—both to yourself and to those you care about—to enlarge your understanding of how the world works. and to push your awareness to become more inclusive and empathic.
I am starting with the mallet and the ball… but I am also taking more notes with cursive, and pay attention to, control my hand, so it is at least more legible.
I never had a pretty handwriting, but it was legible while I took notes until about five years ago, when I stopped going to seminars. So I find it hard to control my hand… interesting.
The rubber mallet and golf ball exercise is even harder. Continue reading “Do you see more every day? Or you see the same old same old?”
When the ‘guru’ is wrong
People put gurus on a pedestal, but guru simply means ‘teacher’ in some language: teacher… wise teacher.
But I am not a guru. I may teach, but my methodology, experimenting, is more scientific.
Scientists have a hypothesis, and then proceed to prove or disprove it. Both are good results.
But sometimes a preconceived notion leaks in. 🙁 Continue reading “When the guru is wrong…”
People with the same size brain are as different in what they can do, as a pop and mom store and Walmart, the company.
If we compare people with computers, which we can… we can do whatever the hell we want to do, can’t we? So when we compare these two things: a human and a computer, is the difference in what they can do in the hardware or the software? Continue reading “Dopamine rush, coachability and a Stradivarius violin”

Causing yourself or another to change their emotional stateI say all emotions are caused by some words, written, spoken, or thought… the little voice…
But changing the words requires a higher level of self awareness, and therefore this article will talk about an easier method, many speakers, course leaders, coaches use in their practices, as a shortcut to changing your emotional state. Continue reading “Changing your emotional state… to emotional intelligence”

You can’t fix being human
..that is one of the disappointing things you learn when you do work with me. I won’t feed you baloney like “you are a spiritual being having a human experience…” and other garden variety horse manure.
The other half-sentence is just as disappointing: “you can’t get out of this life alive…”
These two half-sentences address 70% of the popular delusions of humanity.
When you internalize these truly, when you start to be energized by them then your vibration will jump 50 points or more. Continue reading “You can’t fix being human… you can’t get out of life alive”
When I wrote the article about racial, ancestral identity and its importance, I touched on something that is not valuable for most people… because I didn’t go deep enough and I didn’t accurately identify what it takes to be proud of who you are, where you belong.
I got on the phone with one of the people who was very unhappy about that article… I was eager to talk, because it is near impossible to go beyond the visible by yourself. It is a whole lot easier when you get input… because what is invisible to you can be visible for another.
The conversation was fruitful… And the insight to me was: it is not virtues, it is principles that form the basis of a happy life… I will elaborate…

From time to time I watch an animated feature movie on Netflix.
Those movies have the most clues for inner world patterns of all the movies… even though they are clearly designed to distribute memes… to train the next generation to become sheep.
But the artists that make the movies unwittingly, or defiantly, place some fundamental guidance and truth in those movies.
So it is with this little movie: Leap. (In other languages it is called the Ballerina)
It’s about a little orphan girl who lives in an orphanage, but dreams about becoming a dancer… a ballet dancer. She escapes the orphanage and goes to Paris to enroll in the famed ballet institute… to fulfill on her dream.
Through unpredictable events, she does… and though she can’t dance… a cleaning lady she finds turns out to be an ex famous dancer, until an accident made her an cripple. And she will become her mentor.
OK, here are the principles in the movie that stirred my inside up and explained a lot of things to me about me: Continue reading “Pattern recognition… or how widely and how deeply do you see?”
You can have a high IQ, and yet be a slacker in life.
Why? Because IQ is still only a potential of the brain… not independent of what you use or not use, what you expose yourself or not…
I once had an employee who I hired because she was a Mensa Society member. Mensa only accepts people to be members whose IQ tests say they are above 130… I think. But, between you and me, she was a useless employee and I had to let her go.
Since then I don’t trust IQ tests. You can have a high IQ, and yet be an underachiever in life. Continue reading “Your IQ, your base nature… and the Playground”
What is consciousness?
Is it the mind?
Here is from the Wikipedia entry: Consciousness is the state or quality of sentience or awareness of internal or external existence. Continue reading “What is consciousness? And vibration? Connection?”
