Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
Humans, as a species, are not good. They are an invasive species. Destroying the planet they live on.
This is not a moral judgment. I am do not subscribe to any moral system…
Morality is a human invention. There is no morality in reality, in nature. Morality is invented by rulers and governments, and churches, to keep the hordes at bay, to make them behave in a way that is counter to their nature. Continue reading “Never pick a fight you cannot win… Now what?”
Here is another example for the unless (or-ness)… the distinction I’ve been trying to teach you, so far quite unsuccessfully. Why? Because it is really simple, but is really hard… and I am not quite able to express myself clearly yet… I am getting there, I promise.
Here is the article from 2011.
I caught myself, red handed, up to my chin in misery, wallowing… yuck.
I had been depressed for two straight days. It wasn’t someone else’s feeling, it was mine. It sucked. I mean, literally, it sucked me dry, took away my aliveness… Continue reading “I Can’t Be Happy Unless… How to get out of your own way?”
How to beat the ‘human condition’ successfully and become a happy person at no one’s expense?
I spent a few hours this week reading really old emails from two of my clients. I was especially interested in their early emails… maybe so I can see what changed?
When you talk to someone nearly every day, it is hard to notice the changes…
So periodically going back and seeing some of the things they said six years ago is really useful in this regard.
I have my customer/client emails saved, all of them, grouped by client, so I didn’t even have to search… Just pick a client, and read…
One of these guys went on and on and on how much he doesn’t want to be human. How much he doesn’t want to be part of the human condition. Live in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Continue reading “How to beat the ‘human condition’ successfully”
Yesterday I spoke about the human condition, where moral rules, codes, and such are masking the predatory nature of humans…
Predatory simply means: me at your expense… and it is mostly, among animals, at the expense of another species, but there are exceptions.
I live on nuts, nuts are about 40% of the nutrition I take any given day. Why? I can’t eat much anything else and stay well beyond my expiration date… which, for all intents and purposes was in August last year.
So I got an extension, on conditions that I do life in a particular way… Continue reading “Can we change the future of the planet by changing people?”
I am reading an amazing AND disturbing book. Again.
I have been heeding the words of my teacher, Robert S. Hartman, that to fight evil, you need to know evil, intimately. Be able to recognize it everywhere… in yourself and in others.
Like yourself, I prefer to look at pretty, beautiful, harmonious, happy… But if you want to tell the truth, there is not much of that, at least where humans are involved. Continue reading “Why does the future of the planet look the way it looks?”
You and I spend most of our lives trying to fix something that never happened. Not only that it wasn’t wrong… but it never actually happened. Something that was never factually true. Even though you keep telling the story as if it were true. And you don’t know that you are lying.
Some people call these demons… even though there are no demons… but nevertheless, using the expression: fighting your demons is very accurate, if you don’t believe that demons are entities. There are no entities in the visible or invisible Universe.
And yet we are fighting… I call it an itch… a compulsion… something that makes you weird.
The ITCH that tells you that unless you get what you say you didn’t get in that story, at whatever price, even extorting it, you cannot be OK. Continue reading “Fighting your demons, expecting to win one day”
Everyone and their brother say you can’t change the past… But what if you can?
One of my favorite movies is ‘Back to the Future 3’
Somehow, by magic, our hero, whose name I forgot. Michael J. Fox plays the character. Yeah, I remember now. His name was Marty. Marty gets that when he hears someone call him a coward, a yellow belly, it makes him do things that destroy his life. So he makes a different choice, in that past, and changes his future… dramatically.
Every time I watch it, my eyes tear up… I find myself weeping. I am sooo proud of him.

I am playing Freecell. I do that to learn pattern recognition, I do that to track how high or how low my intelligence is, given what I eat, or what I do. I do that because while I am doing that, inspiration strikes, more often than not.
So I don’t play Freecell to win, don’t play Freecell to entertain myself… not even close. It is not like youtube, or some other stupid social media, that wants to hijack your attention: in fact it gives my attention back to me…
So as I am sitting here, I remember a British TV show (The Paradise) about a department store and a young girl who becomes an entrepreneur. It was excellent, in spite of the soap opera elements… and then suddenly it ended before its time.
I guess any ‘soap opera’ show that is useful is not popular? Continue reading “The beingness of an entrepreneur… some Netflix examples”
I did an unintended experiment on Monday and Tuesday.
I ate the equivalent of two three cookies in carbs and I crashed for two days… My intelligence, my balance, my mood, my muscle strength all gone, I walked around in my apartment like a 90 year old, holding onto furniture, walls, door jambs.
Wobbly, heavy, dumb. I went through hypoglycemia with headache and shaking hands…
Now, why am I sharing this?
Because my pancreas was in good shape, I have come out of it, after two days, fatter and OK. Packed on three pounds, but I am almost OK. My pancreas measures 10%…

Many people want to run their own business, they want to be entrepreneurs.
But when you observe their behavior, everything points to the fact that that is a pretense.
Why would anyone pretend that? Ultimately that is an expensive pretense… like the boy’s you cried ‘wolf’. Ultimately people stop believing you, and only people who are engaged in the same pretense will.
Simple: you observe yourself, jot down how much time and attention you give to each thing that occupies your day, and do it for a week.
What you want will stand out: that is what you give the most time to. Continue reading “You don’t want what you say you want… It’s inauthenticity that’s speaking”
