The invisibles, the secret to taking charge of your life

What are the invisibles?

A student of mine emailed me a few seconds ago.

She says: I grieve the loss of the camaraderie. And the affectionate joking that was so much fun. Is it dead, or does it have a chance of returning some day?
My answer to that was short, cryptic: “look at yourself first… always”

I am certain that she received it as an insult. But what was my answer? It was coaching.

When the saying says: There are three mysteries of life: Air to a bird; water to a fish; and man to himself.

What holds you back in life?

We are having a sticking point in my classes ¹ : people seem to be understanding what there is to understand while they are in class, but completely forget it, and never use it. By the time the next class rolls around, it is all gone, forgotten.

Last night I gave a homework to every person: come back next session and tell me, prove it to me, whether I am a good teacher or a bad teacher.

It’s a risky move, because given the results, not much, it is predictable that people will go to one or all of the following places:

Breath is access to Soul, to all-of-it, your higher self.

Breath is access to Soul, to all-of-it, your higher self. Finding the blockages in breath and eliminating them

Nearly all of humanity is infected with the mind virus. Slowly we constitute our whole self and our whole world as our minds, unaware that we are several magnitudes more powerful than the mind… and by mind I mean the storage device of the brain, not the whole brain.

When I ask people on the calls to watch their breathing, or look for blockages, without exception they hold their breath: the mind tells them to do so. Why would the mind do that? Like all virus it is only interested in perpetuating itself, and when you are asked to watch or observe, accidentally! you might access your witness, your Observer, and then you will see the mind for what it is: a pea size hard drive able to do search and compare, and that’s it.

That is the part, that pea size hard drive that you have been asking to run your life effectively.

Resistance, disagreements, arguments, discord…

None of us is an island, and in our quest to carve out a meaningful life, we encounter resistance. Often a lot, even more often, from people who ‘should’ be on our side. Sometimes that person disagreeing with you is me… if you are one of my students.

The question is: how are you going to be? Who are you going to be? Are there any tricks that make it easier than it is to live life in a sea of disagreements?

I had an experience of discord this morning, an argument. Continue reading “Resistance, disagreements, arguments, discord…”

Guilt, Shame, Failure, an Expanding Human Being

Contrary to what my headline might suggest, this is actually an upbeat message.

Guilt is about what you have done. You did something you feel you should not have done, but you did it anyway. Out of spite, out of impulsivity, out of ignorance. Now you are suffering. You feel bad about it.

Shame is about who you are. You are, in your world, less than you should be. That should may come from religion, comparison with others, comparison with the potential you once were…. Either way, you disappointed yourself, and now you are suffering.

Failure in business/life has no connection to either of these.

Failures, in business/life, are those little solar lights stuck in the ground, on the way to success.

How to find your direction?

Summary: One of the most frequent questions people ask or think is: what is my soul’s purpose? what am I supposed to do with my life? How to live on purpose to get fulfillment, and a sense of life well lived? This article contributes the purpose part…

If you want to do this exercise correctly, you need a distance to see the forest for the trees. With distance comes “Witness” and you begin to see, without the constant chatter of the Mind, that tries to tell you what you should see to look good, to be good, to be socially acceptable, to conform to your own expectations of what’s good… all misleading. Your job is to see what is so, not what should be so.

With distance you see even the time-line. Tendencies, trends, inclinations. You can see what was important and what wasn’t. ²

Strategy: should you have one? Plan: should you have one? and what about Goals?

Summary: to have a sense of self, to have a strong self, you need to be self-directed in your journey… which also means having a journey. The size of your life is the size of your project, and most people have small projects, mostly for otter people. You’ll learn how to start building a life and how to be directed by Self by using some basic principles.

We begin, today, the process of building up and protecting the Self from the world, never mind that you have no idea what self is: it will be clear after a few articles, don’t be impatient. It is not a simple task: after all no one has done it before… REALLY!

You’ll need to walk with me through this discovery process, without using your mind to understand: the mind is not able to understand this: this is new! And a new type of process: I am not giving you the results of years worth of thinking: I am doing this with you: live.

Who are you? How secure are you in who you are?

Summary: Distinctions are windows to reality. They are questions asked as the beam of flashlight shine on reality but pointing out only the parts that answer the questions.

This article will shine a light on the question: how secure are you in who you are? Do you survive the onslaught of energies of the horizontal, the masses, the Facebook stuff, the “friends”, the media, the Dark Side energies… Can you stay who you are while all that is going on? Do you even know who you are?

Your vibration and Copenhagen zoo kills 18 month old giraffe

Copenhagen zoo refuses to hand over 18 month giraffe to other zoos, and kills giraffe and feeds it to other animals.

That is the news. Now, obviously, I am not in the popular news business, but without spending my time finding out what exactly happened, I may have some useful things to say to those readers that aspire to become a human being.

Watch the majority. The majority is always wrong. When they go left, go right.

When they are upset, be understanding. It is a much healthier emotion.

Consider that you can’t see the whole picture. Consider, that even if you could, wrong, bad, etc. are human constructs and they are cultural. Consider that God didn’t hire you to be the judge, so let go and don’t get involved.

Why Are You Attracted to Bad News? Unhook yourself

Summary: worry, fear, opinions makes us stuck in the future or in the past, and we completely miss the present, where life happens. At best worry, fear, opinions just make us miserable. At worst what we don’t handle in the present kills us… Either way, we miss life, we miss our power… What a waste Continue reading “Why Are You Attracted to Bad News? Unhook yourself”
