You can take the girl out of the culture, but can’t that the culture out of the girl…
What culture am I talking about? The homo sapiens culture. The culture of the mind. The cult of the mind.
I am not the first person to talk about it, talk against it… Not even the second… lol.
But it is all in vain… Continue reading “You can take the girl out of the culture, but can’t take…”

What can you learn from a theoretical physicist, a famous ad writer, art collector to become a person… yourself?
What does an ad writer have to do with being happy, fulfilled, and joyful? Other than selling it to you… lol… right?
Most things that I teach are difficult to understand enough that you actually know it and can teach it. Unless you can teach it, you didn’t learn it… The Feynman technique teaches how to get there… but this article is not about that.

How to tell the difference between thing-ness and beingness… i.e. are you treating another a person or a thing?
I learned, maybe re-learned something from my an email I got from someone who is taking ‘becoming a person’ very seriously… thank god.
He got that only through ‘granting’ personness to another makes you a person. That really you cannot be a person among objects… what you give is what you are.
Very counterintuitive idea, and probably controversial too. But to echo most people’s emotions: a ‘bummer’… too bad.
We all want to be treated as a person, we want to be treated like we are a ‘somebody’, not a thing, and definitely not a ‘nothing’. Continue reading “How to tell the difference between thing-ness and beingness”

What do YOU organize your life around? what you want? what you feel?
Where do you look to see how you are doing? And where do you look to get the desired result?
Most people look at how they feel. Other people look in the mirror… Yet other people look at the feedback of others… or the sales numbers if they are selling something. Number of hours they have fun. Number of lovers, or number of times they get laid… Continue reading “What do YOU organize your life around? Want or feel?”

Energy. do you have enough?Everything is energy, blah blah blah…
It is either true or not, but what is really true: if you don’t have the energy to do the things that forward your life then you are stuck, feel bad about yourself, and start dying.
Knowing how to manage your energy so you can get things done, so you have energy also for joy, fun, humor, creativity, a way to feel alive and valuable, is mandatory… I would say. Continue reading “Energy for life, energy for growth, energy for having fun…”

Getting the blues, periodically is totally normal… and it’s also no fun. Whether it’s the weather, whether it’s the pandemic, whether it’s loneliness, lack of direction, hopelessness, no movement… it’s immaterial. The blues are the blues… But instead of them lasting forever, you can take the upper hand… this is what this article is about.
What do I do when I get blue because I see parents taking care of their children, even though they are already adults? When I feel that I was never loved and never will be? Continue reading “What do I do when I get the blues?”

I have been pondering, for many years, what influence has caused humanity to deviate and not develop according to the blueprint that is clear from the DNA tree.
Something must have happened…
In a child’s life it’s being introduced to something they are emotionally not prepared for, like molestation, or witnessing the death of a parent, and a slew of other ways adults can and do corrupt a child.
That child never really develops along healthy lines… their development into an adult will be, in some way, corrupted. Interestingly, their corrupted development will be almost certainly predictable by their soul correction. Why? I have no clue.
The other day I was watching a youtube video…. Continue reading “Your godlike power awaits”

I have written extensively about the fact that you want someone else to wipe your ass…
OK, not literally, not factually, but in essence.
One of the areas where this is completely clear is the number of people who want to be entrepreneurs, they want to own and run a business, but the above attitude is in their way.
It is a whole different thing to take a job, even to freelance, even to be self-employed, and creating and running a business.
I have two brothers. Both shied away from that option: they preferred a situation where someone else buys the chair, the computer, the software, the solutions, the bookkeeping, the location, the everything… and they just do the work, however many hours a day, and get paid.
It drives me bonkers to hear the expression, so and so business owner did this and that, to give back to the community.
Give back what? Continue reading “The best way to predict the future is to create it”

Three umpires are asked the same question: how do you call ball or strike.
For those not from the United States, an umpire is an official who watches a game or match closely to enforce the rules and arbitrate on matters arising from the play in baseball.
The youngest, a rookie umpire is asked: how do you call ball or strike? The rookie umpire answers confidently: I call it the way it is.
The journeyman who has been judging the game for quite a few years, says: you are a rookie. I call it the way I see it. Continue reading “Is Trump a seasoned umpire, a rookie umpire or a journeyman?”
What is the easiest method to shift someone’s state of being?We already know. Children, when they cry because they hurt themselves, can be brought out of crying by directing their attention to something more interesting, more engaging.
We use it in the Soaring Method.
I use it in almost every coaching conversation I have with people who are stuck in some unproductive state of being, like sadness, despair, maybe even resistance.
Self-awareness on the level of human is all physical and emotional.
