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

Sell dreams, not products. said Steve Jobs.

Most purchases stay a dream only, a disappointing one at that… because…

What makes you so angry that you can’t control yourself?

What pulls you out of your equilibrium? What makes you so angry that you can’t control yourself?

One of my students has fits of anger. Her life is going from anger to anger, with no chance for a break.

Now, I could be condescending, I could be unsympathetic, or helpful and compassionate. But I find it more beneficial for everyone involved, including you, if I share with you what I have done.

As a rule, I use my own life, my own experiences, as a laboratory, a test laboratory, to shed light to what happens to people when they are angry, resistant, unwilling, or any one of the frequent ways of being. Continue reading “What makes you so angry that you can’t control yourself?”

You Can’t Get Enough Of What You Don’t Want

Warning: this is a very advanced article. You should probably start with the easier ones if you are here for the first time. OK?

An interesting glitch in the nature of reality is that our driving desire, the answer to our dreams, the one thing that would seem to fix our complaints doesn’t fix anything.

We could say that you can’t fix what’s not broken. and actually it would be a very astute remark.

But if that is the case, that the thing we are trying to fix isn’t broken, why does it seem that, what we most complain about not having, would fix it?

What is spirituality? the spiritual dimension of reality?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I had a lovely person yesterday on my strategy call. The call was fun with a lot of real laughter, until the topic of spirituality came up. Then it became hellishly painful.

The issue is: what is spirituality? How you view spirituality will have a lot (maybe everything!) to do with everything you do in life, and ultimately will determine to what degree you’ll become all you can become.

Free to be yourself.
Free to pursue what excites you.
And Free to be WITH people.
Ultimately what is available to you in life will depend an awful lot on how you view spirituality.

Like a White Peacock. do things for the love of doing things

I love reading. My favorite books tear down the proverbial curtain of the Wizard of Oz.

And my favorite activities… you could guess, are when I can tear down the curtain… and actually show the naked reality of things…

I find delight in it. Continue reading “Like a White Peacock. do things for the love of doing things”

What you see will give you your emotions, your actions

When I find an issue that a student is struggling or not dealing well with, I write an article.

The issue here, I guess, is universal.

It has two parts:

you can’t see the big picture, the forest, for the trees. You are stuck with your ONE interpretation of facts. One of anything is dangerous! You are rigid. You have no imagination. And you have a fixed mindset. You have believed the myth of ‘is’…
you are not good, practiced, skillful at taking advantage of the practices I have taught.

A student of mine has a daughter. The daughter decided to join the swim team. She is 13 years old. The only person who can take her to her swimming is my student. Continue reading “What you see will give you your emotions, your actions”

Four Reasons you won’t grow… if and when you don’t grow

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

It should be clear by now that my work is 100% about self-growth, spiritually, mentally, healthwise… in essence: growing as a person…

Grow to what end?

So you can live a life you love and you live it powerfully.

Obviously this is not an easy task.

The following is my experience, my powerful debriefing of why you don’t grow, if and when you don’t grow.

Most of the reasons are readily visible in your starting point measurements and in your health measurements.

But the biggest reason is: Continue reading “Four Reasons you won’t grow… if and when you don’t grow”

Will you allow the learning to change who you are?

This is NOT a funny article… And actually I struggled mightily writing it… because it talks about something I have never been able to teach… Your beingness.

I am reading a book for the third time in a month. And I will read it again and again until I become who I want to become.

Some people read the words in a book. I read the spirit. I align my whole inside with it… if it is worth it.

And if it is worth it: it won’t happen at the first reading, the second reading, and probably NOT at the third reading either. So I read it until it happens.

The two reasons to read it are:
