Two fairy tales to make sense of your life… Part 2

To recap part 1 for those who can’t quite remember it. Your life can be seen as an example of two fairy tales. You live it unwittingly, and they act as the script, they act as a cage… Until you see what them for what they are.

In this part I start with how my newfound awareness of MY fairy tales helped me break through and start living a life on my own terms. Then, of course, we’ll look at more fairy tales. After all, fun is good. Continue reading “Two fairy tales to make sense of your life… Part 2”

Kabbalah teaches through stories… anecdotes, fables. Source teaches ME with fables too. So my dreams are teaching tools.

So let’s first attempt to agree on what happiness is.

We will call happiness is a sense of rightness. That all is well with the world, all is well with our world, all is well with us. A sense that we are OK, at the right place. Another word, maybe, is contentment.

The unhappiest people around us are people who have a stringent requirements for the world, for people, for themselves… Continue reading “The Kabbalah of happiness… why does happiness elude you?”

Depression

Depression is a stuck state. A limbo.

Stuck in all-or-nothing.

Whether it is low grade or higher, it is still depression.

It is not a bad mood, although laughing becomes less joyful and less frequent.

Flailing, like I said in another article is frequent… trying to grab onto some stuff that isn’t going down like everything else.

I have been depressed now for a few weeks now. It became unmistakable yesterday. Continue reading “Let’s dive into the human condition of no self-love”

What you are most proud of about yourself is what holds you back in life

This article was written OMG 10 years ago? We haven’t again addressed these life-suckers… Since we are working on anchor-to-doom and the actions necessary to live a life not determined by the doom… we probably will need to talk about these minor anchors… the topic of this article. These keep us stuck, suck our aliveness, curtail our successes, and make us inauthentic and pretending. So they are important.

We’ll use transformation to get unstuck: transformation is caused by making the invisible visible... Continue reading “What you are most proud of about yourself is…”

What’s the opposite of cowardly? Is it courageous? Fearless?

What if cowardly simply means: not willing to get hurt? Not willing to feel pain. Any pain. Including non-physical pain… like the pain of being wrong.

What if everything we have ever really done was to avoid that non-physical pain?

As usual, I am going to look for some experiences in me… myself, and tell you things I probably shouldn’t. About myself… And expose myself to the pain. Continue reading “What’s the opposite of cowardly? Is it courageous? Fearless?”

Humanity has a tendency to use shortcuts to get there faster***… Where is there? Nowhere, really, so it is all about the faster, the cheaper, the less effort for humanity. Going nowhere fast.

Was it always so? No.

I have a theory that humanity cycles through phases of being… beingness… that are, maybe the same as the book ‘Pendulum‘ teaches. The book says that the beingness humanity cycles through is the degree to which it is about ‘me’ or it is about ‘us’. Continue reading “Humanity has a tendency to use shortcuts to get there faster”

Too many choices leave you high and dry. Confused and stuck

Clarity is power… Unclarity traps you. Makes you stuck.

I have lived in three countries.

I was pretty in the first country. And I was normal in the second. And I have been mostly exotic and ugly in the third.

Because what you are most used to, what is like what you saw as a child is what is pleasing to you. Even though philosophers have defined beauty through and through… and yet.

Why am I writing about this now? Continue reading “Too many choices leave you high and dry. Confused and stuck”
