I don’t do well with people who are intense. I am not sure why, but my physiology gets all tense, resistant, and I just want to go away, or watch a movie, or go to bed.All those sensations are in the horizontal aspect of me. We could call it “my head”, even though the feelings are in my body. But it’s shorter and more popular to say “I am in my head” than to say: I am pulled into my horizontal, lower self. Right?- I used to live in my head. I didn’t notice until there was something happening outside of my head. I only noticed that I was missing it.
I was missing togetherness. Intimacy. Feeling a touch. Mostly the sexual aspect of it. I went through the motions, while I really wasn’t there.I went to dances and wasn’t present. I didn’t even see my dance partner’s face, or if I did, I saw it through the haze of my thoughts.I had only one way to go to sleep: to knock myself out with circular breathing that actually made me faint. Otherwise I would be up and in my head all night. - I talk to people, and I can feel that they are not there. There is no echo. Where are they? In their head… thinking about what I said… I guess.

What’s your story? Where are you looking from to tell it?
One thing you already know about me: if I find something that says what I want to say better, I put it in my article. I have no ego about it. Actually, the story I tell myself about it is that only brilliant people can be humble… and that is both true and a lie. Actually, the truth is that humility, the willingness to say ‘I don’t know’, the willingness to say ‘did I get that right?’ are both the result and the cause of brilliance… So no matter how you look at it, I am brilliant… lol. Now saying that was fun, lol. A lot of fun. Now, onto the quoted article:
What stories do you tell yourself concerning your disappointments, failures and embarrassments? Were you the unfortunate victim of evil?
Perhaps it’s time you start telling different versions of those stories. Regret and fear are incapable of guiding you to Success.
The stories you tell yourself are the foundations of your self-image. The self that will either get things done or not.
‘The first principle of self-deception is you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.’ — Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics
There are many ways in which the truth can be told.

Children. All become stupid, ugly grown-ups
“Intelligence is the inborn capacity to see, to perceive. Every child is born intelligent, then made stupid by the society. We educate him in stupidity. Sooner or later he graduates in stupidity.
Intelligence is a natural phenomenon – just as breathing is, just as seeing is. Intelligence is the inner seeing; it is intuitive. It has nothing to do with intellect, remember. Never confuse intellect with intelligence, they are polar opposites. Intellect is of the head; it is taught by others, it is imposed on you. You have to cultivate it. It is borrowed, it is something foreign, it is not inborn.
But intelligence is inborn. It is your very being, your very nature. “~Osho Continue reading “Children. All become stupid, ugly grown-ups”
You never know where any step takes you… The Sight does…
When you have The Sight activated, like a lot of my students and clients, you can ask and you are, in the minimum, shown or given a signal for yes or no… proceed or not to proceed.
You don’t know why you got yes, and you don’t know why you got no… you can ask, but it is really important to trust what you are given.
This is exactly what happened yesterday.
There are all kinds of money making investment schemes, and I don’t participate in them, as a rule.
Yesterday I followed a link in an email I got, and it wasn’t clear that what it was promoting was one of these, or I would have just left… but it was shrouded in mystery.
I used The Sight to penetrate the mystery…

Take back your life… Take back your power… The value of proving that you can
About two years or so after I graduated from architecture school, I was assigned to manage a project. A big one. A university in Oran, Algeria.
I wasn’t assigned because I was so good. Looking back I was green. I didn’t have the vision. I didn’t have the big picture. I didn’t have even the small picture.
Then a new person came to manage the department, and he sent me back to be a draftsperson to prove myself from the ground up.
As any self-respecting arrogant person would, I said that I didn’t have to prove anything… and I quit.
It was arguably the worst thing I could do for my career as an architect, and it created irreparable damage inwardly too… I damaged the trust between me and me, I damaged the trust between the ego and me. I now had quitting as an option… and it set me on a path of floating unhappy leaf… damaged goods, for a few years.

No concerns… the technology to become free from concerns
It’s 2 pm, and by this time, on a normal day, I have written three articles. But until about 10 minutes ago, I had nothing to say today.
Was I worried? Was I concerned?
I wasn’t. How come?
When you observe yourself, you can see that you are concerned with one thing or another all the time.
You should be this or that. You have to this, you need to that… and you definitely should whatever.
I have severed that connection between myself and “obligations” or concerns years ago when I finally got for myself the Unconditional Love Activator, and “not concerned” was born, a drastic change from who I used to be, always in a knot about stuff that should be.
Now, there is an aspect of this concern, and that is what I really want to write about, and how to set yourself free, able to roam the wide world, instead of being locked into a narrow ditch pattern of life.

Connecting to Source your way… what are you connecting to?
I think we humans are alternating between two extremes: being slavish, and being arrogant.
Either extreme is detrimental to your growth as a person.
I have been in an email exchange with a woman who tries to connect every day, and then describes to me her experience and asks me to muscletest if she connected or not.
I comply, but even from her experience it is clear to me that she imagined how it could feel to connect to something… but the experience of connecting to Source is not even similar to what she describes.

The anatomy of missing the mark aka sinning
- Have you been wondering why public services and big companies employ semi-morons for customer service? I am wondering. I think to mention this, given how many times it has happened in the past week.
Not every customer service person acts stupid, only most of them.
So what is their stupidity about? They only hear what they know. The filter of their mind screens out everything that is not the three-four basic issues: refund request, payment plan request, return request… you know the kind most people will have.
For every issue outside of the ones that the solution is standardized, the customer rep can’t hear…
The mind did not allow the person to interact with reality, only with what’s in the mind.

What can Marco Polo’s legend teach you?
This may just be a legend… Yet, legends can teach…
Marco Polo was an Italian man who arrived into the Great Khan’s court. The Great Khan asked him and his two companions about the desert they had to cross to get to his court.
The two older men had little to say. Marco Polo, on the other hand, had a lot to say.
The two older men were banished, Marco Polo was given the role of advisor.
Why?
Because Marco Polo didn’t live his live with his consciousness buried in his mind.
WTF, right? What does that mean?
