Is it disappointed or frustrated? What is the difference?

Is it disappointed or frustrated? What is the difference?
Clarity of language reflects your clarity of thinking…

It is becoming clear that the parts that maybe are the most important ones (to you) in my articles are too new for you to hear.

I didn’t realize that I need to bring special attention to them, explain them, or they will be lost, maybe forever. And give me an unwelcome experience: frustration.

This is a great opportunity to bring some clarity to the use of two words that you, mistakenly, have been taking ans synonyms… meaning the same. They don’t.

The two words are disappointment and frustration.

They feel similar, yes, but the underlying cause is different. Continue reading “Is it disappointed or frustrated? What is the difference?”

Dead as a doornail or flying the spirit? choose

Dead as a doornail or flying the spirit? choose

dead as a doornailIf I don’t manage to fly someone else will. The Spirit wants only that there be flying. As to who happens to do it, in that he has only a passing interest. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke

I never knew I was competitive… but the first sentence in that quote above is what gave me the impetus I needed to make it my work to fly the spirit. Hell no will I be dead as a doornail… Hell no will I be OK if someone else flies and I don’t… So help me god. Continue reading “Dead as a doornail or flying the spirit? choose”

Becoming like god remedy: access the 99%. Testing, testing

Becoming like god remedy: access the 99%. Testing, testing

becoming like godOne of the puzzling part of being human, or even a human being (not that I actually know that, but I suspect) is that…

…when things are not working, or not quite working, we don’t know what question to ask.

We actually don’t know what is the problem, so we cannot ask an intelligent question.

The trouble and therefore the solution is in the 99% of reality, the part is hidden from our view.

Is it hidden from everybody’s view? No.

When you put together all the people of present and past… only 90% of reality is not known… but individually we have 99% of reality hidden from us.

This is when others can be extremely useful to us. Continue reading “Becoming like god remedy: access the 99%. Testing, testing”

Will my work, like others’, survive my death? Immortality?

Will my work, like others’, survive my death? Immortality?
Immortality? Yeah… even before you die…

I have been listening to a lot of audios from Werner Erhard, the founder of the est training (Erhard Seminar Training). Some are as old as 30 years… 40 years… old. Keeping the person who speaks in the foreground of some people’s minds.

The question, as usual, is what is the truth value, is the person who is speaking able to do what they are saying to do, etc? Because it is one thing to be the millionth person to listen to a talk, and quite another being the first person who can see that the emperor is naked.

Often I am hesitant to say it. Often I am dismayed to say it. But somebody has to say it for evolution to happen… instead of pretending that it has happened already. Continue reading “Will my work, like others’, survive my death? Immortality?”

Public-authenticity. The racket. Responsibility… Oh my!

Public-authenticity. The racket. Responsibility… Oh my!

public authenticityOn my call with Paulo, my podcast partner for my Sunday call, I shared that I’d spent four hours in bed the night before. Sleepless. But in the end I did my breathing I learned some 40 years ago, and I fell promptly asleep.

As I was sharing I saw that it is obviously a racket I have, being an insomniac. All designed to gather sympathy… ugh. So I shared that insight too.

This was on Monday. It’s Wednesday now, and I fell asleep both nights in between within minutes of turning the light off. I just did my breathing exercise and that is that.

I didn’t beat myself up. Didn’t ‘shame’ myself, I didn’t brag about it. Instead I saw it, deeply, and acknowledged that I had power against insomnia that I wasn’t using. And that it was probably a racket.

And with that I turned back the power.

I call that public authenticity.

Now let’s contrast it with the things some of my students do, habitually. Continue reading “Public-authenticity. The racket. Responsibility… Oh my!”

The fastest new way to have energized (coherent) water 24/7

The fastest new way to have energized (coherent) water 24/7
water-setup for entrainment methodThe fastest new way to have energized (coherent) water 24/7

It is new to you. I have been using it without any change for years now…

I’ll share with you how I am having fresh coherent water without ever using the energizer audio or manually charging my water.

I use the phenomenon called entrainment.

In entrainment, coherent water will bring up the water touching it, or close enough, so eventually it will become coherent too.

The component are:

  • enclosed smaller bottles of water where the enclosed water is coherent
  • a larger container with the smaller bottles and topped off with energizable water. Water needs to be free from dissolved chemicals to be coherent. Most commercial filters leach chemicals into the water, making them not energizable.

The proportion of the energized water and not-energized water matters a lot. Continue reading “The fastest new way to have energized (coherent) water 24/7”

Albert Einstein spoke about the levels of consciousness

Albert Einstein spoke about the levels of consciousness

I am very lucky: the questions my students send me have caused me to have a deeper understanding for my own work.

These students are often seeking new insights in their pressing circumstances from me. Lately it is all about making a decision to stay or leave, to let go or to fight.

It is a huge responsibility to talk to people who are looking for answers.

A misunderstanding that clips a lot of people’s wings

A misunderstanding that clips a lot of people’s wings

pursuit of happiness guarantees miseryThere is a misunderstanding of how things work that clips a lot of people’s wings.

It comes from the ‘goalsetting culture’ that has proven itself a misery-maker. Being motivated with what you want…

You commit to a result.

But results are outside of your power. They will either happen if you do the right steps or they won’t.

Life is a lot more complicated than boiling water. You can promise that water will boil if you manage to give it enough heat that it reaches its boiling point. But if your promises are in that sphere of predictable, then you are not going to amount to much: you probably live a life of quiet desperation.

Anything you pursue is running from you.

The reason that of all the people on Earth the people of the United States are the most wretched is because of their pursuit of happiness. Continue reading “A misunderstanding that clips a lot of people’s wings”

But I am smart! Are you Teddy from A Gambler’s Jury?

But I am smart! Are you Teddy from A Gambler’s Jury?

hardware errorThe idea that it is up to you… that you have power… beyond your brain (hardware): that is alien to most people.

The feedback I am getting from Friday’s article is that I accidentally spoke from the penthouse of consciousness, and didn’t speak to where people, where you are.

Oops… didn’t realize.

I just finished reading a novel I started and re-started 6-7 times, because it was barely tolerable what was happening in the story. Emotionally, to my sense of right… intolerable.

You see, my TLB is only 70 on a scale of 1 to 100… and abuse, betrayal, no regard for another are difficult for me to stay with, and not run away. So I did 5-6 times… until I buckled down and read the book. I am glad I did… but it was hard for me. Emotionally.

The average TLB on the planet is 1.

As a sidenote: not in a insignificant way, reading what is hard to read, emotionally, has increased my TLB a lot, my estimation 20 of those 70 came from that. Not hard as hard to understand, but hard as hard to be with… emotionally.

In the book there is a mentally challenged, probably brain damaged young man, his lawyer, and a whole society hostile or apathetic… but that is not what I wanted to talk about. Continue reading “But I am smart! Are you Teddy from A Gambler’s Jury?”
