Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
The idea that you can get smarter needs to get clarified.Why? Because people cannot see smart, cannot see how smart shows up, cannot see… anything other than filtered through themselves, how THEY are. Continue reading “As a man is, so he sees. you project yourself on everything”
Brain health, brain power, brain usage… how does it relate to your mood about your life? to the size of your life, to your happiness and fulfillment?
I am on the mend. It feels weird…
All my life I wanted to get sympathy for poor me… because I didn’t think I deserved anything more.
And I am noticing that I want to complain, that I am afraid that if I tell you I am getting well, you won’t want to give me anything… not business, not love, not anything. Weird. A strong pull. Continue reading “Brain health, brain power, brain usage…”
“Don’t wish it were easier: wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom” said Jim RohnThe pretense prevents most everyone from becoming better. From building skills. From attaining wisdom.
The pretense is like a 2 feet by 4 feet jail cell… tight, restrictive, unpleasant. Continue reading “Pretense. authenticity. the zig-zag path to yourself”
Ever feel like you are just the thumb Source needs to get things done? Things that need a thumb… Physical things…
I used to have a cat. And cats teach you about yourself things you never wanted to know, like how insignificant and useless you are.
But one thing they also teach you that has served me well is teaching me that I have thumbs. Opposable thumbs. And in spite of their contempt for me otherwise, I can be useful because I can operate the can opener.
And god… whatever god is, is a lot like my cat. It needs a human with opposing thumbs to get things done in the physical universe. God doesn’t have a thumb. God is an energy, in all, through all, it is omnipotent… but lacking physical manifestation, it lacks a thumb… lol. So, us, humans, are here to make things happen.
For the most part, this has been my experience of that energy I call Source. Especially when I play Freecell.

Questions, ordinary questions make you look for an answer. And getting that answer shuts down the looking.
Other questions, like the question in the title make you look… But the answer… oh, the answer creates an even bigger opening… it is like the abyss opened up in front of your feet… Fill your heart with dread.
And that is what was the purpose of the question… to open up the abyss…
Your self-view today is a tricky thing to predict. It will grow out of your seed level: of who you are that you are, whether you can count on yourself to be winning at life today, and other questions, very similar to the one in the title. All designed to confront you, to arrest you, to wake you up. Continue reading “Can you count on yourself to be winning in life today?”
Self-awareness is the rarest of all the human virtues. Why? because it is all inner. . . and unless you have it you won’t even know you have it. And unless you grow it, you can’t change.
This is one of the things I measure in the Starting Point Measurements.
The numbers I get are between 3% and 20%, with 20% is being rare: I only found, so far, one person with that level of awareness.
So what can you notice if and when you are self-aware? Continue reading “Self-awareness: what is it and why is it crucial to have it?”
Feelings, emotions… if you could just feel better! How to increase your emotional intelligence?
But they aren’t. And like with everything, on the current level of humanity we have a really hard time holding it together. And a hard time even hoping for a life that is bearable.
But with knowledge can come power. And that is what I am offering in this article. Continue reading “Feelings, emotions… if you could just feel better!”
Nature or nurture is a big question, even though, in the big picture, it won’t matter.
Just the opposite of what you thought, right?
I am a good example for nature being changed: I got smarter than when I started, smarter than my siblings and my parents… through application. High achievers in the world are mostly of this type: born with little or average, worked harder, accomplished more than what they would get if they didn’t grow what they earned.
In my muscletesting the more you were born with the less you think you need to work, the less you want to work on becoming all you can become. Continue reading “Moses made the Israelites wander in the desert for 40 years… that is how long it took to change their mindset”
Humans are an unpredictable mystery, and therefore have given rise to many many theories.
The way humans examine things to make sense of them is by taking them apart. It works relative well with people, but with a living thing, it is not that effective.
So humans make up parts and elements… and some seem to work to one degree or another, but nothing quite works perfectly.
The mechanical models medical “sciences” use doesn’t work well at all… we have more diseases than before…
The psychological models of ego, and subconscious, and beliefs, and such don’t work well either… How do we know? Because the results are temporary, or there are no results. Life is simple… The results are the shadow… showing that the method worked or didn’t work. Continue reading “The puzzle that is called “human”. Your theory matters…”
The Outcome Is Not Pretty. You Are Trying. You Fail. What’s Going On?Your Troubles Are Repeating Themselves. your life is scripted. different locales, different characters, but it is the same repeating story. You Are Living Out A Script… The Outcome Is Not Pretty. You Are Trying. You Fail. What’s Going On?
I would dare to say, that repeating a script that only brings you trouble, pain, guilt, shame is the opposite of emotional intelligence.
