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

If you keep forgetting what you are up to… or if you keep procrastinating

The fear of losing sight of what you want…

You know what you want. And you want to march to it now. But of course the world doesn’t work that way, you need to sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, job, family…

Then opportunities knock. For some, opportunities for fun and companionship. For others, adventure, business, learning.

They say: don’t take your eyes off the ball… That turns out to be another myth that takes away your power to reach your goal, to get what you want.

Nothing can be reached by a straight line, except the refrigerator, the TV and your bed. Oh, and facebook and youtube… Even my site…

So how does this really work?

I wrote to a client: Grow Some Balls! Man up!

It’s Sunday, and as usual, I had a profound conversation with my friend. We missed one Sunday in this past eight years, I think.

I had more insights than in a normal month… and here are a few:

1. We are bred to become soft.

The question you’d ask if you wanted to know if they succeeded with you is this: Can you take it? Can you take hard, long, exhausting, painful, cruel, murderous.

If the answer is no, or “yes, but I don’t want to” then they succeeded.

When things don’t go your way, when things are not fast enough for your taste, when someone is not kind and encouraging, when something doesn’t taste, sound, feel good the first time, when something takes consistency and consistent effort to reach… then you’ll quit.

How far from your island are you willing to swim?

I had a conversation about 30 years ago with a fellow Hungarian. We were both Landmark Education “graduates” and assisted our asses off.

“Assisting” is a cheap way to feel superior without having to earn your stripes.

He was an artist, a painter, who was in the US because his wife fell ill with cancer, and needed special treatment. In spite of all, she died, and he was stuck here. Didn’t want to return to Venezuela, didn’t want to go back to Hungary, but his existence in the US was touch and go.

He didn’t feel like producing the “art” that had been earning him a living: kitch sold in furniture stores, mass produced by an artist. Slave labor, mind numbing, and killing the artist within.

It was late in the evening, and we chatted, intimately, like friends that we weren’t.

The simile, or analogy, or metaphor, whatever you want to call it, came up:

If you were stranded on an island, how far would you swim to see if there are any ways to escape and return to civilization?

I watched a 12-episode series on Netflix, called Sense8

It’s not a really good movie, although you do get pulled in and start to care about the eight heroes.

It’s about a branch of humanity that has activated a part of their chromosome, that makes them different, inwardly. That makes them more capable.

And they are a threat to the rest of humanity… because the rest of humanity wants to stay the same.

So they hunt them, and work to eliminate them.

Doesn’t work? Let’s do more of it, that should do the trick

MindValley is very encouraged by its results with John Assaraf’s program launch: they sold 1.2 million dollar worth of courses. An excellent way to rid people of their money, people who probably paid with credit cards, and increased their debt load in hopes of becoming a millionaire… by changing their minds about money.

The source of joy

I was playing Freecell and while I was playing and I was observing myself playing with my Witness Self.

I observed how much satisfaction I take in making the right moves, preparing the ground for right moves.

Normally, when you make your final right move, the cards fly off, and you won.

But this time the right move was at the very end… and I enjoyed getting there.

Suddenly the memory surfaced: the words a friend, coach, and “client” said about 10 years ago: “Isn’t is great when, like by miracle, all the cards fly away?”

She was about my age now, so ten years older than me, past retirement age, still working away.

She was a well-known member of the community, a business woman, and a coach. When she died I wasn’t invited to her funeral.

Positive belief myths

It is in the unsaid, it is the obvious that doesn’t need to be said, that dominant beliefs that keep us poor, miserable and sick are beliefs that are negative, about ourselves, or about money.

In my work with people, especially pulling the “therefore” of the dominant belief, and pulling the anchor to their doom, I find that about 50% of people have a dominant belief that is a “positive” belief.

Men have it more than women, by my experience.

If you don’t have a project, you don’t have a life

If you don’t have a project, you don’t have a life. How to pick a project that will take you where you want to go?

It is projects that give substance to life, give you a reason to get up in the morning. If you don’t have a project you only get up in the morning because you didn’t die the night before. Continue reading “If you don’t have a project, you don’t have a life”

You’ll withhold celebration until the big prize?

Every big achievement is made up of a lot of tiny achievements.

You cannot have an achievement on a level where you are not.

This mistake, thinking that you should be somewhere where you aren’t, is costing you achievement.

Every right step is choosing from thousands of steps, out of which only one step is a right step… and there are a few so-so steps.

The right step comes from assessing the situation right… i.e. being astute, distinguishing something accurately. This is an area where you are very weak, that is why you need the Reclaim program.

I just finished an email conversation with a long-time student who shared, accurately, where he is at. Then he said, that given his soul correction, Finish What you Start, the archetype of a liar, telling the truth about where he is at is very good.

I suggested that it’s time to celebrate. He laughed.
