The story. Your story. It is either inspiring or it is depressing…

the history of kings in BritainThe story. Your story. It is either inspiring or it is depressing… either way it’s the context of your life

Your story can be your personal story. Telling what happened from your personal point of view. No creativity is required: it’s already applied generously.

Why? How? Anything that happened is turned into words… and words, whenever applied, create a story, a story line, an interpretation. Filters added creatively… Skewed.

Your story can be the story of your heritage. No matter how you tell this story: it is filtered through opinions, beliefs, and other filters.

You think a story tells something about the past.

But a story tells your future: reliably. Continue reading “The story. Your story. It is either inspiring or it is depressing…”

Restore your Intrinsic Self as the captain of your ship

Restore your Intrinsic Self as the captain of your ship

learning-to-sailThe most important thing I never learned in Landmark Education… that allowed me to grow

In 1967 I applied to participate in a 6-day on site advanced program in Landmark Education… it was still called Werner Erhard and Associates at the time.

I was denied. The staff member for admittance told me: Until you learn the difference between thinking and doing, you can’t do the course.

The biggest stumbling block you have to growth that will fail you

The biggest stumbling block you have to growth that will fail you

Parents are not trained educators. They don’t allow you to be a child: they only care about themselves… not you, no matter how much they pretend, even to themselves. You, as a parent, are the same way…

You would be better off living in a children’s home where everyone is trained in personal growth.

Because parents are much like those fraudulent personal growth, get rich, get well and thin, “take a tablet and become forever young/pain free/etc.” marketers.

Why? I guess a stupid person cannot teach another to be smart.

What is smart? It is smart to Learn from Life. Life has been around, successfully, way longer than you and me.

Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is lying

Life is pain. Anyone who says differently is lying

discover-the-oceanWith some movies I ponder for years why I liked it.

One of these movies is The Princess Bride. Why do I love The Princess Bride? Why do I watch it a few times a year, especially when my energy level is low?

Because, for me, the movie is about persistence. It’s about working towards something remote and maybe even impossible, and yet…

There are a ton of amazing quotable sayings in that movie… here is one:

Buttercup: You mock my pain!
Man in Black: Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

The quality of your life boils down to action and patterns

The quality of your life boils down to action and patterns

If nothing changes. the future is predictableThe current state of human intelligence… and I mean the overall intelligence, can be easily tracked on detective movies… British ones are more honest than American movies.

As you may know, I like to watch those… I learn from them as much as from any course, while I am entertained as well.

The quality of a person’s life, your life, boils down to actions… and each and every action is a result of a choice.

The accuracy of your actions is a function of how many patterns you recognize accurately in the world.

If nothing changes about you, your future is quite predictable… it is downhill from here…

Casting errors in movies and what you can learn from them for your life

Casting errors in movies and what you can learn from them for your life

my-left-footWhat is wrong with movies, TV series, that I can’t stomach… or barely?

I am talking about good stories. I am talking about shows with good or passable actors, good directing… And yet the show is scarcely enjoyable because the character doesn’t fit. the inner world of the character is off… tells a different story.

Like the serial killer in The Fall… more about it later.

How can I tell whether you likely voted for Trump?

How can I tell whether you likely voted for Trump?

What is the difference between someone who votes for the Republican nominee and the Democratic Party nominee

This is not the whole truth, there are lots of shades of gray, and yet, especially in the current elections, this is what I have observed on the people I had an opportunity to observe.

  • 1. The less distinctions someone had the more likely they voted for Trump.Distinctions are the patterns smart, intelligent people use to navigate life, to produce results, to tell truth from falsehood.Trump voters are almost blank in this regard. No distinctions… black and white.
  • 2. The less someone was willing, able or trust themselves to do anything for themselves other than scream bloody murder, the more likely they voted for Trump.

You are trying to eat soup with a fork…

entraining-you-for-stupidityIt’s perplexing to watch humans trying to eat soup with a fork.

Because while industry, science have advanced, humans, the race, has gone backwards.

As a race.

Backwards in intelligence… intellect, emotional, social, relationship, etc.

And obviously in vibration. Continue reading “You are trying to eat soup with a fork…”

Fat burning body… what is the benefit… how do you do it?

Fat burning body… what is the benefit… how do you do it?

915340I got this question yesterday: How do I turn my body into a fat burning, fat fueled metabolism?

I’ve done it, and I think most everybody can… but…

Fat people think it means adding something to what they already eat, do, and it’s not how it works.

Burning fat as body fuel is overhauling the whole body… And the moment you go back to the old way of fueling your body, the moment you turn your whole system, again, into sluggish carb burning machine.

In the past 4-5 years I went from 165 lbs to 117 lbs… which is my normal weight. I did it with this method: by being a fat burner machine.

Then I was offered a piece of sour candy on a stick… whatever they are called, and how small it appears to the eyes, the candy was about 10 grams, my body responded with cravings.

And in a week I found myself buying candy… I still ate only one or two a day… But after another week I was four pounds heavier… 100 grams of candy turned into 2000 grams of fat… Ugh.

Returning to becoming fat burner again… I am in the middle of it, is a real art: for the body to change its mind it takes a week or two, before it believes you. So with those extra four pounds I look as a 5 months pregnant female: not pretty. Or maybe I look like an African starving female… distended belly.

This distended belly is called Kwashiorkor. It is a severe form of malnutrition, caused by nutritionalĀ  deficiency, mainly deficiency in dietary protein. The extreme lack of protein causes an osmotic imbalance in the gastro-intestinal system causing swelling of the gut diagnosed as an edema or retention of water.

Makes no sense, I continued eating the same things… but the body related differently to what I ate… apparently refused to use the protein I ate… hm… curious.

Anyway, I have started to lose some of the four pounds, but my energy hasn’t returned, I am having headaches, mood issues, but the candy ended up in the trash can so it stops seducing me, but I still haven’t returned to be a fat-burner.

So it seems that a fat burner body and a carb burner body are like the body of two different species…

Maybe if you never became fat it’s different… but I have been fat as many times as many times I tried to become slim… And I think: each time I trained my body to want to be fat. šŸ™

Imagine changing your car to burn ethanol, aka alcohol for fuel, instead of gas (benzin in Europe, I think).

You cannot just tweak it a little… it is an overhaul.

My body loves burning fat. It allows my organs to do what they do best…

The fourth category of teachability

The fourth category of teachability

because-he-wants-to-do-itQuite a few of my students sent me a request to measure whether they are teachable, whether they are coachable.

And that is where I had an insight:

The reason the 67 steps coaching is so effective is this:

People make the changes, the tiny, near invisible changes in what they see, what they do, how they do it, because it is their choice. 1

What does this mean?

When you make a change because you saw that you needed to, then that change can become permanent. It becomes part of who you are.
