What did Genghis Khan do to raise his people’s IQ?

borte abductedWhat did Genghis Khan, the greatest conqueror in history do to raise his people’s IQ?

I have been reading about the Mongols, the nomadic people that occupied lands and people in the 13th century, from the Pacific Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea, in the 13th Century under Genghis Khan.

99% of those Mongols didn’t read, didn’t write. Their average IQ (my measurement) was the same as college educated people’s today. Their available IQ was 90%, as opposed to today’s college educated people, whose available IQ is less than 80%. Which means, those Mongols were more intelligent than you. Ugh, that hurts.

What is the secret difference between them and you, that they were able to conquer and you are not? And what could you borrow from them, even though you are not a steppe warrior?

Here are my insights that I hope will be useful for you today:

Addiction vs. connection

About this video:
Published on Jul 9, 2015

What really causes addiction — to everything from cocaine to smart-phones? And how can we overcome it? Johann Hari has seen our current methods fail firsthand, as he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions. He started to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do — and if there might be a better way. As he shares in this deeply personal talk, his questions took him around the world, and unearthed some surprising and hopeful ways of thinking about an age-old problem.

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design — plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

This is an interesting video. But…

The ‘you can do anything’ myth is a source of your anxiety

toda;y is the day when I finally do the impossibleThe anxiety attacks you experience

There are two types of anxiety attacks, as far as I can see:

  1. Dark Side attack. It is an energy that is broadcasted from up North. It is “in the air” and it only waits for you to notice.Then your reaction to it makes it more real, and also last longer than the energy duration would make it justifiable.I have written about this a lot.
  2. Your unrealistic expectations of yourself
If I wanted to design a system for unhappiness

Bits and pieces on misery and happiness

hppysadface

You will see what makes your right

Wherever you look, whatever you hear, whatever you read, seems to make your theories right. Men are bastards, the boss favors someone else, the weather is horrid in your area, and you’ll always be the way you are.

No matter how much “data” is in reality to say otherwise, you’ll only validate the “data” that agrees with your worldview.

Somewhere is better than here.

How to make a commitment you’ll keep

making a commitment and keeping itI have had problems with my hip for the past 16 years. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on chiropractors, and the hip just got worse and worse.

This year I had a recurring flash of desire of being a person who travels from country to country, while doing the work I am doing now.

The only thing standing in my way is the pain to walk, or even stand longer than a minute.

I have given up public speaking because of it. I have given up going out, because I limp. And because it hurts.

The recurring flashes of desire to become mobile again started a process of looking for a solution, if there is a solution.

What is the meaning of “Every moment is new”

hit-in-faceI discovered yesterday what was the cause of my not wanting to work, not feeling like working in the past few days.

It had a chemical base: after a long time not eating bread, I started to eat bread again. I ran out yesterday… and I expected today to be productive: to get back my old diligent self back.

But all there is there is a desire to watch Netflix…

I clearly saw choice by now: 9:40 in the morning, 10 times. So far I’ve chosen to do something other than Netflix… but what if I slipped?

If I were like you, it would be the end of it.

What is the difference between you and me? Am I smarter? No. Am I more committed? Not necessarily. Then what?

Customer Favorite #2: Heaven on Earth

hoe-labelThe Heaven on Earth remedy is based on the Bach Flower remedies.

It’s 40 distinct energies that remedy 40 human weaknesses and follies. How? I don’t know.

There was a time when I was making custom Bach remedies for each customer and client. It took a long time, because I needed to connect to the person, and muscletest them for 40 different remedies.

The time I spent, in today’s rate, would have cost a buyer about 70 dollars. They paid nothing. I didn’t value my own time… that was before I created the Unconditional Love Activators. Before that there was no love lost between me and myself.

But as soon as I found the Unconditional Love Activator, my relationship to myself changed… Continue reading “Customer Favorite #2: Heaven on Earth”

Are you adding good to the bad, hoping the bad will get better?

adding-water-to-the-seaIn almost any endeavor, removing what you don’t want makes more difference than adding something good to the mix.

And although this makes a lot of sense, in spite of it not being common knowledge in self-improvement, you keep on trying to add stuff to your anxiety, to your inability to breathe, to your fear, to your unwillingness or to your listlessness, expecting results, fast and furious.

You are quite stupid, forgive me for saying that. My only excuse for saying that is that I am like you.  I know this is what you do, because I have been observing myself doing the same thing. Continue reading “Are you adding good to the bad, hoping the bad will get better?”

How to use context to be more astute, and feel better?

the-dark-side-of-the-moonWhen I have an unexpected feeling or emotion, I look for a context, because context is decisive. 1

This morning I had heart symptoms.

When you have a symptom, it is important to know what is causing it, because your actions will be different with different causes. Same symptom,different action.

Turns out that it was a Dark Side transmission.

Feelings are energies, and they can be duplicated by someone more advanced in energy sorcery than I even strive to be.

Had I been you, I would already be in the emergency room, racking up a huge bill.

The Problem of Artificial Willpower

willpower-drugsThe lack of motivation, ambition, the lack of vision in the loss of Self

As a whole, humanity is unmotivated, low on ambition, and lacks a vision… and is unwilling to create a vision to boot.

So what has caused and what maintains this lackluster way of living?

I read an article this morning and it struck me as more truthful than the other theories of wrong beliefs, fear, etc.

Here is the article.

Summary: What do we risk by using substances that enhance our enjoyment and interest in certain pursuits – say, a university major or career – which we would otherwise find meaningless and alienating? Continue reading “The Problem of Artificial Willpower”
