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

Are dogs happy? Are cats happy? Are humans happy?

I woke up this morning. Felt a sore throat. I started to get dressed. Put on my socks, my thick padded pants, and… went back to bed.

I slept a little, pondered a little during that hour.

I am reading a book by Neal Stephenson (Termination Shock) that is dealing with global warming. It is a tome… 720 pages. Very interesting, albeit nothing much is happening, at least not as far as I have read, 75%. Continue reading “Are dogs happy? Are cats happy? Are humans happy?”

Pardon for mixing my metaphors… but…

I am downloading five movies that people on Reddit reported watching more than seven times.

These movies are part of the culture, and I have missed it.

I am seeing, again and again, that I came to this party late… It was already going on. Continue reading “When you are late to the party you see who is swimming naked”

The biggest problem we have in life is ourselves. You’d think it’s others, but it is really you.

We’ve met your enemy and it’s us. Get out of your own way! You are your worst enemy!

The sayings abound, because ultimately until you change, nothing will change. But how to change? Continue reading “We met the enemy and it’s us… we get in our own way”

I am able to tell how your life is working from your answer.

Your life is like a tree adjusting to the slope of the ground, striving to grow straight up towards the sky. Read on, I’ll explain later… Continue reading “What motivates you? Is it positive or negative?”

If we were talking directly, I would let you guess… but I am sure you wouldn’t guess right… It wouldn’t even occur to you…

Because the greatest motivators of all is being inspired by yourself.

What does it even mean, Sophie? Continue reading “What is the greatest motivators of all? Can you guess?”

School shooting… or what and who has the power?

I don’t watch TV… I don’t have one.
I don’t read newspapers, don’t visit any social sites other than Reddit.

This is how I heard about yet another school shooting, this one in Michigan.

There is a new wrinkle in this school shooting, because the parents are co-accused with their 15 year-old. Continue reading “School shooting… or what and who has the power?”

Turn around fast enough to catch your shadow

This article explains how come that you can only interact with Maya, which is ‘not that’ in Sanskrit, i.e. not reality, illusion, shadow play, the hologram, etc.

It is much less mystical than the Vedanta imagines it: it is quite simple and it’s explained in this article.

Without the capacity that I speak about here, you are going to continue living in Maya for all your life. Continue reading “Turn around fast enough to catch your shadow”

I have a workshop I give occasionally. (What’s missing) In all honesty, I stole it from Landmark Education, and yet I consider it my own.

In that workshop there is a moment of drama. Drama that opens your eyes wide, and you are mortified by seeing who you are, and how you are. Continue reading “How bad do you want it? Not that bad, I see!”

Enlightenment? Is there an outlined path towards it?

Great stuff I want you to read. I found this on Quora

When you read all the comments (there are tons of them) you can see how much tree of knowledge there is out there, wishful thinking, hoping that there is no work in becoming enlightened.

I think that if you are hoping to lighten your load, and start soaring, you have come to the right place.

One thing at a time: What is one thing that could…

Ever wondered why people never amount to much? You, or maybe someone you know?

Yesterday I had a flurry of conversations with clients and one thing became very obvious by 6 pm: people are trying to handle too many things at the same time. A whole laundry list of things.

Even two is too many. Continue reading “One thing at a time: What is one thing that could…”
