We all have moments of brilliance and hours of stupidity, or some version of “not brilliant”
Some people take it in stride… this is how it is, no matter who you are. Einstein had moments of brilliance… and hours, days of stupidity too. Continue reading “You cannot solve a problem that is not real”
My horoscope often tells me what I should be dealing with, either for myself, or for you and me.
This is the horoscope I received in my email box today, from Rob Brezsny:
If you were a snake, it would be a fine time to molt your skin. If you were a river, it would be a perfect moment to overflow your banks in a spring flood. If you were an office worker, it would be an excellent phase to trade in your claustrophobic cubicle for a spacious new niche. In other words, you are primed to outgrow at least one of your containers. The boundaries you knew you would have to transgress (step over the boundary, infringe or go beyond the bounds of) some day are finally ready to be transgressed. Even now, your attention span is expanding and your imagination is stretching.
Obviously he uses the word ‘transgress’ to express that you are in some self imposed prison, he calls it container. Rob Brezsny is a typical California positive language dude… not a straight talk dude, like myself.
Now, whether it is addressed to me, or whether it is addressed to us, I am going to attend to both aspect.
I just got an email from one-time coach of mine in internet marketing.
He says that one of the reasons he loves information products because he gets to see the difference it makes in people’s lives.
I muscletestes that statement, and muscletest says it was a lie. Or more precisely, it had a 1% truth value.
One of the most important things for you to learn from me, is that people lie.
They buy something because they want the result it promises, the result it can produce if the person who buys it uses it the way it was meant to be used. Continue reading “Build on what you have, instead of starting something new… Integrate or eliminate”
Learning to Learn on Coursera.org, the missing piece of the puzzle, especially if you combine it with the Playground: the partner calls, and the skill learning challenge.
I’ve completed the first two weeks of study on coursera, with 99% effectiveness measured by the tests: only two mistakes total.. But did I learn the material?
I am finding that I am still having some issues with the vocabulary, so no, I haven’t. Continue reading “Learning to Learn on Coursera.org… can you? Will you?”
What is the difference between people who make a lot of money, and people who don’t,I watched a video on which a dude played the same exact tunes on three different violins.
The link to the video was on Digg, and the editor said that they, in Digg’s office, didn’t hear much difference.
I did. One violin’s sound brought tears to my eyes… it was so incredibly resonant, and beautiful. 1
What’s missing for you to escape the human condition of the horizontal plane?No matter who you are, no matter how high is your vibration, one thing is certain about you: you bring a skewing, slanted, distorting view to life, to every question you ask, to every answer you get.
I just caught myself… and I’ll share it with you… even though it is quite terrifying to get naked with you. Continue reading “Integrity, integration, creating or embracing?”
More books are sold on happiness than maybe even on dieting… especially because 98% diet books’ hidden attraction is happiness.
Weird, eh? Continue reading “The tyranny of the pursuit of happiness. What you pursue…”
There are two opposing ways of being that individually each is out of step with Life… unless they join forces… The tumbleweedMy Playground course is designed to bring the participants back to pre organized-religion times, where being in sync, being in harmony, being in step with Life is natural and not a sin.
But it is a B-i-t-c-h to teach.
Why? Because “The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.” Continue reading “The tumbleweed or the invisible dynamic of a life worth living”
Transformation is not a walk in the park… Because your machine, as a rule, prevents you from accurately seeing reality
Why? Because the invisible machine causes distortions in your perception of reality. Your machine shapes your interpretations, your meanings, and with your reaction to those, it shapes what other people will do…
This is where we are in the Playground… Continue reading “You are machine… but not a stupid machine”
This is a philosophical article, but at some point it is practical: it talks to your concerns, so it is worth your reading. This article will be, also, proof that all writing is re-writing. Now that I written the first draft, I can rewrite it, so it can get better… that is how life works.
Fully understanding the philosophical aspects is not a requirement, although it did me good to write those down.
James Allen said in the beginning of the 20th Century:
“Suffering is always the effect of wrong thoughts in some direction. It is an indication that the individual is out of harmony with himself, with the law of his being. The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony. Man has but to right himself to find the universe is righted. Let a man radically alter his thoughts and he will be astonished at a rapid transformation it will effect on the material conditions of his life.” ~ James Allen ~ As a Man Thinketh.
Of course his work and this quote has been used for wrong… to promote the “mind power” movement, that, not accidentally, never distinguished what is mind, and therefore neither did its adherents, Law of Attraction people, T. Harv Eker, and other bs. artists and shysters.
OK, let’s start with what is integrated, what is unintegrated, so we can at least hope that we are talking the same language. Continue reading “The invisible phenomenon of the unintegrated self…”
