Become all you can become by raising yourself higher on the Tree of Life

Your actions, your desires are for the immediate

This is a long article. It is only worth reading if you are interested in a different life than you are living. If not… not worth reading… Go back to Facebook, or your romance novel, or witches, goblins, vampires, computer games, daydreaming, or whatever you fill your life with.

I am re-reading one of my favorite fiction books, Reamde by Neal Stephenson. Continue reading “Your actions, your desires are for the immediate”

Imagine having more money than anyone on Earth… How would you feel?

Imagine that you are on the riverside fishing.

You see that the line is tout, the rod is trembling, so you do what fishermen do, and you pull out a fish.

As you take the hook out of the fish’s mouth the fish starts to talk. It says: My good man (or woman, if you are a woman), please release me back into the water and I will reward you handsomely: I will fulfill three wishes for you.

You are surprised, you question your sanity for a little bit, so you throw the fish back, after all any wish should be more valuable than the 3-4 bucks this fish is worth when you cook it. Continue reading “Imagine having more money than anyone on Earth… How would you feel?”

Most of life is counterintuitive. Maybe all…

Most of life is counterintuitive. Maybe all… but I shy away from all, always, every kind of statements… they are always suspect of an ideology…

So how is life counterintuitive?

Here are a few examples:

If you want to get something done fast, the worst way to go about it is to hurry. It either takes the same time, but cost you emotional expenditure you can’t afford, or it takes a whole longer.
The more coffee (or tea) you drink because you are tired the more tired you become.
The higher your moods are the deeper your depression will become.
The more important praise is for you the more wounding a bad feedback will feel.
The more you want to be happy to less happy you’ll become.
If you want to be happy, and say: I will have a little about-me time, or more than a little… you immediately less happy.
In fact, the more your life is about you or about your life, the unhappier you become.

Why would your brain hinder you instead of helping you? what does it think?

Your brain only allows you to act on what it can see… what you know it ignores.

I have a few partially written articles… how many? about a hundred… or more

I often take notes in a text file, and save it. So I have 6,201 files in this articles folder. So when I don’t know what to write about, I have a ‘swipe-file’ of sorts… I just find something that still lights my fire.

One of the things I avoid like the plague is boring. Other words for boring is tiresome, flat, uninteresting, or officious… I didn’t even know about this until today.

I have been asking and paying for help.

For about a decade or two before that? lol, I never asked for help. My Forget Thyself soul correction is very proud of being able to be independent and be able to do anything… but it is a very limiting way to be.

It doesn’t matter what you know, it only matters what you do

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I am still in the middle of finding all the ways I screw myself.

I am seeing something that, of course, I am not alone with. I am soo proud of what I know… but, of course, in life the only thing that matters is what you do. What you actually do. Not what you can do, not what you plan on doing, but what you do.

In games, at work, in your growth… Bummer.

I know so much… but it is all mind candy, unless what I do comes from that knowledge.

Some more than 50 years ago… yeah, I know, most people weren’t even born yet, I had a chance to learn this, but I didn’t.

Budapest, 1969. I was sitting in the department head’s office with two other students. Architecture school. Structural calculations exam…. called Statika in Hungarian. Continue reading “It doesn’t matter what you know, it only matters what you do”

What is responsible for the increased rates of pancreas and ovarian issues that I see?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

That’s a great question, if I can answer it… right?

If… I said. Not ‘when’.

From business point of view, ask any hospital, it is good news. You have trouble… I make money. But that is not how it is for me.

So the purpose of the question, from my personal point of view, is to see if it is preventable… the trouble.

As my usual method, this will be meandering… if you don’t want to follow, I sympathize with you.

OK, before I continue, I want to explain something:

Most people think that what prevents them from capitalizing on their knowledge in this world is that they don’t know how to teach what they know. Continue reading “What is responsible for the increased rates of pancreas and ovarian issues that I see?”

What irks me most about entrepreneur wannabes today? Or, by the same token, guru wannabes?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

First things first: who is an entrepreneur?

The most important characteristic of an entrepreneur is the fact that they take on something. Voluntarily. Mostly to take something from A to B, from state A to state B… because they say B is better.

So Edmund, the Count of Monte Christo was an entrepreneur, if I remember the story I read when I was around 10. He dug himself out of a prison on an island. He gets and find some hidden treasure, and avenges the wrongs done to him. Continue reading “What irks me most about entrepreneur wannabes today? Or, by the same token, guru wannabes?”

Your unholy triad of Bach Energies or the jaws of death

The middle question of the Bach Diagnostic Profile is, cleverly hidden in the middle. ¹

Why cleverly? because unless you hide it, more of the same will come up… but in the middle it somehow brings up an honesty I didn’t expect. Continue reading “Your unholy triad of Bach Energies or the jaws of death”

Tend to be impatient? Want to be already there?

Tend to be impatient? Want to be already there? Jumpy? What is underneath impatience?

I have been offering to measure what blockages people have to break through to be able to work on becoming all they can become.

I am looking and measuring people against 43 Bach energies… It is quite challenging, because there is no frustration, anger, resistance, belligerence, etc. are on that list… Bach energies are the energies of plants… Testing people and my questions against those 43 test my patience. It is not quick. It is not obvious, until it is… Until I see it.

But, to my surprise, it is actually possible to find the answers to these questions: Continue reading “Tend to be impatient? Want to be already there?”

Am I the cocoon stopping the butterfly from flying?

Shall I be a nudnik? One of my coaches has been… urging us to consider that there are only 87 days left from the year… as if I should care…

When I muscletest, Source says that I am a little bit of a nudnik. Really? F…

Nudnik, ugh… that doesn’t sound good, does it? The word somehow rhymes with obnoxious… but it is in the eye of the beholder. Continue reading “Am I the cocoon stopping the butterfly from flying?”
