Love yourself: easier said than done.Love yourself, self-love is your two selves loving each other. How does that come about? Simple: through integrity. Integrity is an inside job: between you and you. As your integrity grows, your self-love, self-appreciation grows, and your life starts blossoming.

In this article we’ll look how psychopathy will stop you from soaring by making you, the center of the world fixed, unchangeable. And unless you can change…
Don’t be mistaken: Source’s definition of psychopathy doesn’t quite agree with the common view… I listen to Source, not the common view.
Long time ago clients are suddenly interested in participating again… clients that I hadn’t heard from for many years.
And somehow I managed to talk to their soul… and the soul told them to get off their butt and do something about their life.
Because don’t be mistaken, life is not kind to anyone, and it continues to be unkind if you continue living exactly the way you have always lived. Continue reading “Psychopathy will prevent you from soaring…”

My racket, as most rackets, was created by some act of stupidity. The natural stupidity of a 3-year old.
I did the 4-day Forum back in 1987… and I learned about racket. Or maybe it was later? In a later incarnation for the Forum? Does it matter? I learned about it when I learned about it… long time ago.
It seemed to me that every complaint is a different racket, and I wasn’t alone with that. Everyone thought that.
Staff members’ favorite slight to each other and participants was: ‘That is just a racket!’ pronounced in a tone designed to diminish you. Continue reading “Case study: My racket”

I used to have a student who ran a racket… get into situations where he needed to be rescued. He ran the rescue-me racket
The original incident was that he was locked into his father’s car on a hot summer day. He had insisted, vehemently, that he wanted to play with the car. He was three years old. And of course he loved cars.
After about half an hour of doing noises like cars make, he got bored… but the car doors were locked.
He banged on the doors, on the windows, yelled, and only a neighbor woman saw him.
By the time the women of his household came down to rescue him, he passed out. Continue reading “The rescue me racket… drama drama drama”

The secret of big success in most any endeavor is to outwork the competition.
But humanity, you, have a problem with that.
I watched IP Man, four movies on Netflix, yesterday. Binge-watched. I considered it work.
Work? Yeah. Character study, life study, I learn from books and movies… so I can work with you better. I love working. Continue reading “What is your issue with work? Because you have one!”

I define someone who has that, Inner Authority, is this: they don’t need an outside force to entice them or to threaten them with some kind of punishment or doom to do what they have to do to get things done.
So, the year was 1987, and it was the end of an 8-year run of a good mixture where you could see what I am talking about.
In those years I worked as an architect in three countries.
Worked but wasn’t productive. There was no joy there. I wasn’t joyful, even though there were, here and there, interesting projects, but i wasn’t able to enjoy them.
There were as long as year long stretches where I literally suffered because I just didn’t want to do what i had to do, needed to do, wanted to do to survive, things I should have done. I was sluggish, heavy, and totally unmotivated. Continue reading “Inner authority? What does it mean really?”

The anchor to your doom attachmentWhat gives it away is the implied inevitability. The language. That it’s always, or never.
Like I am never going to be successful. Stings. Hurts. My eyes are watering. I scramble to avoid it, fight mightily, only to give up after a while and resign… burn, and get up from the ashes like a phoenix bird… This has been the story of my life. Horrid.
Now, imagine free falling towards the Earth, accelerating. Your language, I guess: I am going to die. I am going to be pulped by the impact.
Imagined it? Now imagine that I order you to pay attention to the weather, to the shape of the clouds in the sky.

Being needy, being want-y is low vibration… about 100 on the vibrational scale.
I order my grocery through Instacart. This way I never have to leave my house, I never have to see or get near another person. I ‘blame’ the pandemic… lol.
But today, when I stood behind my front door, waiting for the Instacart delivery person, Angel to leave my grocery at the door, I shouted: ‘Thank you Angel’, and then I started to sob. Continue reading “Being Needy keeps you from getting what you want?”

I have been getting a lot of money after I had all my savings seized… please don’t ask, I won’t tell you the details.
The money comes from clients, students, and -gasp- my nephew sent me money too.
I have noticed that the giver probably feels better about himself than the receiver… So I am happy I was willing to be vulnerable enough to ask for help… Not my usual attitude. It is quite unbecoming for a Forget Thyself soul correction. Continue reading “How to have room to build something of your Self?”

Do you have to go down with the ship?
In 1987 I did the More Money Workshop… I have fond memories of that
Back in 1987 I was working as an architect in the luxury architecture field. We were building or remodeling Caribbean villas for rich people. Nice when you can have it… lol.
I myself was dirt poor, a recent immigrant.
But I never skimped on my education, so I enrolled in the More Money Workshop. It was two Saturdays, and in between I lost my job. Continue reading “Do you have to go down with the ship? the economy, war?”
