A look at feelings… going under the hood. Here, knowledge is really power!

A look at feelings… going under the hood. Here, knowledge is really power!

I have been saying in every article now that the 13th floor is a dynamic system.

Why dynamic? Because the feelings have direction, content, opinion… and they interact, pull, push, stop you…

Moving, changing, pulsing, etc.

Humans are not simple machines, and yet: every complicated machine is made up of many simple machines… and so are you. The more you allow the machine to inform you, the more fulfilling, the smoother, the more enjoyable life becomes, with you in the driver’s seat.

You know I am corresponding with the creator of the books, Feelings and Words, Gyozo Margoczi.

In his last email, this morning, he made sure I push the dynamic nature of feelings. 1 I am not a very experienced translator, and translating his Hungarian helped me to understand the material and the dynamic even deeper.

One of my students had an unexpected breakthrough. Breakthrough explained

One of my students had an unexpected breakthrough. Breakthrough explained

Most breakthroughs go by as if they didn’t happen. Why? Because a breakthrough not understood doesn’t create a new level of operating for the person. They are sometimes viewed as magic, a miracle… divine interference, but not something that was caused by the person.

A breakthrough fully understood creates a whole new level of performance, whether it was an organization, a science, or a person that had it.

With that said, this is the purpose of this article: to create for her a new level of operation, a new level of performance, through understanding what happened.

She had been paralyzed for months. She wasn’t able to articulate the reason, she just wasn’t doing her work, and her numbers were plummeting. Vibration, number of capacities, etc.

She came from her strength…

She came from her strength…

My friend from my youth, Panni, just turned 70 years old.

Her family, husband, two sons, made a video for her, interviewing friends. She lives in Budapest, where we graduated from Architecture School together, 46 years ago.

It was interesting to watch. I witnessed friendships for friendship sake, I witnessed Americans with no insight, only asking: when are you coming to the USA?

I witnessed gratitude. She moved from the suburbs to this big old building with many apartments. And promptly organized the neighbors into a community. Continue reading “She came from her strength…”

How the Tree of Knowledge keeps you in bondage, stuck, and miserable

How the Tree of Knowledge keeps you in bondage, stuck, and miserable

The most difficult thing to see, the most difficult thing to accept is that even though you are looking, there can be something right in front of you, and you won’t see it.

Instead you’ll see what you know is there.

This is the source of most mischief.

In fact, this is the source of your low vibration.

Take back your power, take back your freedom, take back your peace of mind

Take back your power, take back your freedom, take back your peace of mind

Starting tomorrow… at 4 pm.

Why it is nearly impossible to change… unless…

Landmark Education has a process for leaders called clearing.

Clearing is probably the most effective tool to, at least temporarily, allow for change.

Clearing is saying, listing, everything that is in the way of change… with the intention to question its trueness, question its validity.

People watch you, listen to you, and depending on their own attitude, they hear dumping, they hear gossiping, they hear complaining.

But the intention, the wording, the tone of voice is all serving one thing: so the current personal reality, the inner map, disappears and allows space for a new reality to be spoken into its place.

Find yourself, find your lost paradise on the 13th floor of your existence

Find yourself, find your lost paradise on the 13th floor of your existence

the hidden paradise on the 13th floorI read the beginning of an article this morning. It made me laugh. It was a great release. Then I read the rest, and it made me constipated.

I was going to steal the whole article, but I am stealing only the beginning. here you go:

One Thing You Can Do Every Morning to Be More Creative
    • STEP 1: Fill up your cereal bowl about two-thirds of the way full (eyeballing it is okay)
    • STEP 2: Pour your favorite milk (I choose almond milk—unsweetened vanilla) and fill until the cereal is peeking over the top of the bowl.
    • STEP 3: Walk slowly toward your kitchen sink, one foot directly in front of the other. Go slow, taking care to not spill the food.

    Why don’t you trust? Why can’t you trust?

    Why don’t you trust? Why can’t you trust?

    This is a hypothesis that will need to be confirmed with tests. I could also say: it’s a hunch.

    And my hunch is that the less trustworthy you are the less trust you have. Period.

    Hah, but trust, as a verb, is transitive.

    So let’s see what COULD you trust, if you did:

    • 1. trust in yourself… aka self-trust.Trusting that what comes out of your mouth is the truth
      Trusting that you can
      Trusting that you will
      Trusting that your “beliefs” are accurate
      Trusting that you can meet your own expectations of yourself
      Trusting that you can meet other people’s expectations
      and probably a lot more.We’ll talk about “beliefs” that everyone seems to know what they mean, except me… I have no idea what they mean… and neither do you. Not here, not now. At some other time.

      The more you are a scoundrel, a stinker, a liar, a cheater, the less you trust yourself.

    Is this Universe with you in it is a hologram?

    Is this Universe with you in it is a hologram?

    Does it matter whether this Universe with you in it is a hologram or not?

    Great question, isn’t it? I am very proud of myself for asking it.

    But if I get an answer, and I go “yes”, unless I find out what exactly I asked that was answered, I am as dumb and assuming as I was before I asked the question.

    So, what way can it matter whether this/you are a hologram or not?

    • Emotionally
    • Physically
    • As a context… inside which we live this life of struggle…

    Your beingness… the inner guidance underneath it all

    Your beingness… the inner guidance underneath it all

    Not surprisingly, I hope, the difference between homo sapiens (thinking man) and Human Being is this elusive “thing”: beingness.

    Beingness does not respond to words.
    • Beingness does not respond to words. Not even “declarations!”
    • It doesn’t respond to force, not even to force of will.
    • It doesn’t really respond to feelings either.
    • And: IMPORTANT! is not created by doing

    The original sin… how you can stop paying, how can you stop suffering?

    The original sin… how you can stop paying, how can you stop suffering?

    As I promised, the next step in creating your life that discouragement is only a rare guest in, instead of a tenant…

    I am going to start with a somewhat gossipy story: my conversation with my mentor, Gyõzõ Margóczi, the brilliant engineer who wrote the books “Feelings” and “Words”.

    I suggested that he thinks about developing a feedback device, that gives you valuable feedback on your feelings… because being in touch and understanding the dynamics of feelings is the hardest thing for a regular human.

    And everyone is a regular human… 🙁 Continue reading “The original sin… how you can stop paying, how can you stop suffering?”
