Become all you can become by raising yourself higher on the Tree of Life

It’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game

Millions of pages quote this meme, but everybody understand it differently. Because we, culturally defined humans, we have no idea what is the game, and how we play it. No clue what to pay attention and what is relevant to the how.

No distinction.

The dude who coined the meme, Grantland Rice was a sports writer. He made more money that the people he wrote about. Was he happy? Was he fulfilled? Hell no. Couldn’t be… Continue reading “It’s not if you win or lose, it’s how you play the game”

Being stupid opens the door for learning…

‘I am stupid. Being stupid opens the door for learning, curiosity, and a life.‘ ~ Jodie, one of my students.

Today’s shares were like soothing ointment on blistering skin… I have been living with that blistering skin forever, it seems.

What is that blistering skin? The heat I generate in my articles, in my workshops burns my skin, but doesn’t often reach the clients… So I burn and they don’t.

Until just now. Continue reading “Being stupid opens the door for learning…”

The ground of your being… The dance floor of your life

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

The ground of your being is the dominant way you are… to which you return, like returning home.

Religion, spiritual teachers have been duping you. They say that the ground of your being is “being a spiritual being, having a human experience.” That is horse shit, and largely the reason no one has been able to carve out an enjoyable life with that principle.

Some issues cannot be fixed. One such issue is your identity, the identity you built and have been polishing. The ground of your being. The dance floor of your life. Continue reading “The ground of your being… The dance floor of your life”

Why can’t you get from A to Z? Why does it look hopeless?

Personal note: I have been in this transformation game since 1985. I never understood why the human condition was the way it was, why it was hopeless. I didn’t know about the selfish gene… I was completely ignorant. Like most transformational teachers I was ignorant.

A little knowledge is dangerous in the hand of someone who only missed that little knowledge… a little knowledge is dangerous in my hands. I am now confident that with this new knowledge I can guide you to better to win in life.

If you are here, then I guess everything is not going as well as you’d like it to.

When human arrogance sticks its feet in the door truth escapes

The average truth value of medical and body science is 3%. The 97% combines what we don’t know, and what arrogance says… and is not true.

Today I had luck on my side, and I was taken to a site and to a ‘technology’ that has a higher truth value. It is a whopping 10%. Which means 90% is b.s. Continue reading “When human arrogance puts its feet in the door truth escapes”

In my first incident, my defining incident, I was stupid.

In my first incident, my defining incident, I was stupid.

That is what was wrong with me. That is why what happened happened to me. Because I was stupid.

And to my utter mortification, this morning I discovered that it just went underground, but it still operates me a lot of the time. Maybe not always, but enough.

So what’s wrong with that? After all being smart is good, isn’t it? Continue reading “In my first incident, my defining incident, I was stupid.”

What is ‘Seeing the Big Picture’? And how do you see it?

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

OK, this is a biiiig topic… and the article is like a dip into the sea… but read it… it’s going to teach you something you need.

I don’t think I have ever truly distinguished what seeing the big picture is and what it isn’t.

I’ve read somewhere that this woman advocated doing what she is doing. She starts the day solving some algebra problems.

I mostly start my day with playing Freecell… while I am drinking very bitter black tea that I don’t like the taste of. Continue reading “What is ‘Seeing the Big Picture’? And how do you see it?”

My blah is deepening. How I am digging myself out…

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

I am not enjoying anything. Not reading, not movies, not even eating.

I asked Source if I am given his blah so I can be authentic when I talk about it. The answer was no.

So now it is my job to emerge from the blah and stay up there. If I can.

One of my students wrote yesterday: Continue reading “My blah is deepening. How I am digging myself out…”

I had a heart to heart with Source today. I wasn’t happy. Source didn’t care… lol. What is Source? It seems that it is the Source of all ‘light’, life, of everything on the side of Life.

The conversation was about what Source considered well… What Source considers good.

Homeostasis, ess… and growth. Continue reading “What I learned in a heart to heart with Source today…”

Lethargy, aimlessness, listlessness, the blahs, no ambition?

In the Wisdom Course I took more than 25 years ago, between Saturday and Sunday we had a homework. To write an autobiography through a filter of our choice.

The filter could be where you lived, who you live with, your love affairs, your schooling, your health, the sports you participated in… anything.

I don’t remember what filter I used then, but in this article I’ll do a little of that homework through the filter: depression. Continue reading “Lethargy, aimlessness, listlessness, the blahs, no ambition?”
