If I know you well, your relationship to life is mainly through understanding. Which you either have or not.
When you do, you are happy, even though you are just as unsuccessful at living well, being fulfilled as you were before. Continue reading “The curse of understanding… It adds nothing…”

Walls around you, walls between your two selves…
But how do you do it, and why do you do it? and how do you undo it?
It all comes from your story. Not what happened, but what you have been saying about it: the story.
I am very aware of my mortality… and my imminent demise. And what I am also very aware of is that no one really wants me to live, other than myself. But is that a story? Or is that the truth… It feels like the truth.
I was pondering this under the covers this morning. How neither of my brothers seem to care whether I am alive or dead. People I help need me because they need my help. But then I started to look at people who help me… and I was surprised to see that they would, at least for a time, miss me, and remember me fondly.
That surprised me. Continue reading “You feel lonely because you build walls instead of bridges.”

I woke up with the question: if circumstances changed, would I be happier? Would YOU be happier?
I asked Source, and the answer was a surprising no.
How come, you ask? Isn’t that I am not happy because of things in my life, in the world? things that frustrate me, anger me, drive me crazy?
My health, for example. My neighbors. Workmen that cause almost as much damage as service.
And every question Source answers with a resounding no.
WTF?! Continue reading “Why changing your circumstances won’t change anything”

A different way to approach your ITCH is this ‘poem’ I swiped from today’s Monday Morning Memo
It takes four people to make a world.
1. One person wants acceptance.
They hope to save the relationship.
Under pressure, they acquiesce. Continue reading “What you most want in life”

As I am preparing to lead the Inner Authority Course, I see the need to dig deeper and deeper into the morass of human misery so that I can dig you out of there. I have tools, but I want more. And more. And more.
It is not about getting myself out of misery: I am already 70% “clear” of misery… and that is a blissful place, but it took me 34 years, so far, and I don’t know many people who are willing to work on themselves that long… I did it because I was soooo miserable.

I started to do this work 13 years ago in earnest. That is when I found out that I could connect to Source whenever, wherever… no problem, no effort. So I started to connect frequently.
That is when the negotiations between Source and me began.
I wanted to be the one to do this work: taking humanity back into the evolutionary process, so they can reach the evolutionary state of human being. Continue reading “What makes you chase your tail? And even when you…”

So we have language. Language that hasn’t evolved for, I don’t actually know, but let’s say tens of thousands of years, and yet we know nothing about communicating.
I even see people call The Communication Course, communications course… with plural.
What does that signal to me? That they don’t think that there is such a thing as communication, only instances of it.
You think that talking, telling someone to do something or not do something is communication.
Unfortunately for you, for humanity, all the communications put together don’t add up to Communication… Continue reading “What separates humans from other species, yes even the dolphins, is language.”

The story behind the story, behind the story, behind the story…
The invisible parts of the story is also a story.
A story can be just the telling of what happened and all the thoughts, emotions, interpretions the teller of the story added.
The tricky thing is to see all the stories… and then see what actually happened in reality separate from what you made up about it.
In digging for the itch, the need that wasn’t provided in an incident, that was deliberately taken away, and now running our lives, we experienced this layeredness of the story…
Everybody’s, including my own. Continue reading “The story behind the story… behind the story…”

: The consolation prize you get, instead of a rich and fulfilling lifeWe all have it… unnoticed, unidentified, undistinguished, sneaking past your conscious awareness, the strings that make you a puppet on a string, robbing you of your life, using it for its own purposes… laughing at you. I can hear the laugh.
It is a machine… and it is powered by an unfulfilled and unfulfillable desire, I call The Itch… the itch that cannot be scratched.
The desire for attention, for significance, for winning every transaction, for love, for filling your gaping hole inside. Continue reading “It’s normal to be miserable: the itch to scratch”

I sleep poorly the night before every Playground session. It takes me hours to fall asleep, and I have trouble-filled dreams.
So when I got up this past Saturday, it was freezing cold, in the single digits outside… single digits in Fahrenheit is very cold… double digits in the minus in Celsius.
So I pondered what I had to look forward that day. Continue reading “Define what is success for you, to become successful”
