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

Your level of your consciousness vs that of your culture

Your birth is accidental. You are born into a family, into a culture and unless the culture is very conducive to a happy life, you may want to emulate a different culture. (Emulate: match by imitation.)

It is one thing to emulate a person… but unfortunately it is all guessing. You’ll see what someone does, even hear what they say through a filter. And because of your filter you’ll pick and choose what to emulate. You probably will emulate what you agree with, what YOUR culture agrees with. And consequently your results will not be what you were aiming for when you picked who you wanted to emulate. Continue reading “Your level of your consciousness vs that of your culture”

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

It is undeniable that we have an indigestion epidemic.

Why? The causes are many…

Here are a few:

eating too much
you don’t chew your food properly
you combine foods that don’t digest well together
eating food that contains ingredients that your body cannot process Continue reading “Indigestion, weight gain, your money roots, crossed signals”

Indigestion: why is it the number 1 killer?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Most people get fat because of indigestion or poor digestion.

When you have indigestion, the discomfort mimics hunger, and you eat more.

Hunger is essentially a discomfort signal by the stomach…telling you to get some food. Other need signals are the need to drink water, the need to rest, the need to fornicate, the need to eliminate… Valid needs… So obviously, unless you are really clear it is not hunger, you’ll just eat… right? Continue reading “Indigestion: why is it the number 1 killer?”

When it comes to words, slow is better…

There are very few emails I actually read unless they are from readers or clients.

I go by subject line… and today I opened an email that was talking about reading, saying that being a slow reader AND being a picky reader is a good thing.

I don’t like the dude who sent it. Why? I don’t think you have any control over who you like and who you don’t.

Just because you should like someone… please don’t try to like them. It is like trying to have a bowel movement when you have nothing to give… really. Continue reading “When it comes to words, slow is better…”

The most important questions: what, how, why, when, who not

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The most important questions to ask: what, how, why, when, who not… What not to do, how not to do/be, why not, when not, who not, what not to pay attention to. What’s not important. Which teachings are b.s. and a good idea to invalidate or just ignore. The no-list.

Without those questions asked in that particular way, that unusual way, your life cannot be like an arrow, cannot have a punch, cannot have a purpose. Continue reading “The most important questions: what, how, why, when, who not”

How your relationship to money says everything about you

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Just so you know, when I wrote that title I had suddenly a sharp reaction in my gut… Fear…

I’ll spend the rest of the day looking at that… very interesting. The word that set it off was the word ‘everything’… So if you reacted the same way… let’s look together!

Your relationship to money, revealed, will shed light to everything in every area of your life.

But it is harder to see them in other areas of life, while in the area of money it, they are easier to see and catch.

The movie Trading Places was funny but wholly and totally psychologically unfounded… Its authenticity ended just after the scene where the Black dude (played by Eddie Murphy) shoves expensive stuff in his pocket to make them his. That was both believable and authentic. Continue reading “How your relationship to money says everything about you”

The mirage of inner transformation… A mirage? Yes.

I don’t really care about the mating habits of water buffalo… but I can’t look away…

I heard that little ditty yesterday on Amazon Prime Video. And I laughed for quite a few minutes.

And I think it describes some people’s relationship to my articles, to my teachings. I think people are fascinated or can’t look away… But that doesn’t mean they care about what I teach. Or doing anything with it.

The rare specimen that does makes it all worthwhile… Continue reading “The mirage of inner transformation… A mirage? Yes.”

How would you know if you’ve EVER learned anything?

When I teach you, have you learned? How would I know?

Unless you do life the way I taught you to do it, you didn’t learn.

Unless you understand that the power of knowledge is in what it enables you to do… because only action matters. Only action will get you what you want.. Continue reading “How would you know if you’ve EVER learned anything?”

Reclaim your power? From what? From who? For what?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I keep on explaining people that the only way to get to a good result is through bad results, failures, but I don’t think I am heard.

It is true for everyone… it is definitely true for me… and I don’t have to like it.

Yesterday we worked on distinguishing misdirecting our power vs leaking our power.

Power is what you have to get things done, to accomplish things.

It is a finite amount, although you can grow it over time… but in any moment what you have available to you is finite. Continue reading “Reclaim your power? From what? From who? For what?”

Integrity: Anything less than 100% is not integrity yet

The invisible dynamic of integrity

Less than a year after I graduated, I worked as an architect at this company, walking distance from my home.

I didn’t know that I was an empath at the time. Interestingly not knowing didn’t prevent me from feeling it.

It was an office building on the corner of my street and a big street… forgot its name. I haven’t been there almost 39 years.

So one day I walked home to get lunch. On my way back I actually saw the building collapse. The streets were closed for weeks… No one got hurt: the crew was out to lunch. Continue reading “Integrity: Anything less than 100% is not integrity yet”
