Information, knowledge, possibility, attitude, skill, capacity… they, all, in one way or another, are information. And they behave like milk. They go sour… useless… bad.
You may want to ask the question before you research, buy information, ask questions: ‘am I doing this just in case I’ll need it later or am I doing this because I need this to move forward right now.‘ Continue reading “Information is like milk. It tends to go bad over time”

I look at my dreams as guidance.
Now, you need to know that I almost never dream a whole story… I dream moods. Some situations.
Last night I dreamed about going back to Israel, meeting people I had known, experiencing their attitude towards me. Wasn’t pleasant.
And just before I woke up I was shown the theme I am going to write about. Continue reading “4 principles for a fulfilling, financially rewarding life”

What are you building with that?This question was my absolute favorite in Landmark Education’s Communication Course…
I have tried to ask it of people outside of Landmark Education, and the answers I got was always puzzled silence.
So, what am I asking here?
Well, you are always building something. A more popular but less precise way of saying the same thing: you are always creating something… creating yourself, creating your life, every moment. Continue reading “Exercise to create context: What are you building with that?”

People are looking for higher consciousness, they are looking for the peak experience.
No one, it seems, in the area of spirituality, is looking for a great life.
People that are looking for a great life are busy creating a great life.
People who are looking for higher consciousness are people who are not willing to do much anything for a great life, but are willing to keep on being a seeker.
The question is: is it possible to turn a seeker into a producer of a great life?
Continue reading “A life worth living or peak experiences: choose!”

If the who doesn’t change, nothing can changeThis morning I opened an email from a dude who reads my emails, reads my articles, and says he resonates with what I say.
In his latest email he said that we should talk. That we are the world’s two smartest people… so we should talk. Continue reading “If the who doesn’t change, nothing can change”
I have been ‘harping’ on this principle with my students: hear the principle first, and then hear the rest…
Imagine that you are Cinderella… on the night of the big ball.
If I asked you (Cinderella) to separate the wheat from the chaff… what would you do first? If you are like me, you first find out what is the difference… in looks, in weight, and then start separating them accordingly.
I even used to use this capacity (oops, forgot to say, it’s a capacity!) to hire or not hire someone to work with me. I would ask someone to separate a pile of things by their category…
Universally missing capacity… I found out. The underlying capacity can be said with these words: be able to tell the forest for the trees. Continue reading “Principle: Make your plane land on the landing strip”

It’s not what you could see, what you hope to see, it is what you actually see, consciously, that defines your actions and therefore your results, your thoughts, your mood…
What you see is not reality. It is ‘occurrence’ and contains a little bit of reality, and an awful lot of words.
Words that explain, words that interpret, words that give meaning of what is actually happening: reality. Continue reading “Why aren’t you happy most of the time? Or ever?”

If you suck the last little bit of energy out of your battery and then charge it, next day it will give you a little more…
This is not true for all types of batteries… but, it is true for most people…
If you suck the energy out of the battery sparingly, if you are more worried about the battery than about building something with its energy… at the end of the day energy is left in the battery. Continue reading “One model for a satisfying life is the battery.”

There is no such THING as enlightenment.
There is moving to and living on the Tree of Life, raising your vibration. But enlightenment?
It is a concept to dupe the gullible billions into striving for enlightenment. Into believing in instant and permanent salvation. Into giving up personal growth and learning… These are ways of thinking, ways of being all OK on the Tree of Knowledge. Continue reading “There is no such thing as enlightenment… is there?”

One of the capacities you want to cultivate is the capacity of being in awe. Awestruck, awe-inspired.
