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

Does life behave like a kayak or an automobile?

As I was answering a coaching student’s post on my Reclaim your life program, I had an insight.

The model you use to change your life, to make decision, to live your life is the model of the automobile.

Narrow streets, you make right angle turns, the motive power in the engine obeys your steering.

Life doesn’t work like an automobile. Life is a lot more like kayaking.

The way you adjust your direction is with tiny shifts of your paddle… no big moves are effective. Continue reading “Does life behave like a kayak or an automobile?”

Unless you know what you learned, you didn’t learn anything

The last joke I heard before I left Hungary has stayed with me… and it’s very apropos today

Here is the joke: What are the two paths for Hungarian intelligentsia?

Answer: alcoholism. The other path is impenetrable…, in practice there is no second path.

This article is about humans, about you. And it tries to establish that in fact it’s possible to penetrate a second path… an evolutionary path, to become a human being, even if 99.5% of humanity isn’t interested in that path.

So let’s see how that applies to how it is today…

There are two schools of thought: the two paths… You really either choose the one or the other. There is no compromise… Continue reading “Unless you know what you learned, you didn’t learn anything”

You want to be free… free to be yourself… but who are you? You don’t know yourself…

My first awakening, rude as it was, was in 1979. I was 32 years old, had won first prize in an architectural competition, and I was in a mental health facility as an inmate.

Depression… I was depressed…

I didn’t know I was an empath, so I have no idea how much of what I felt was mine…

One day in the big circle I said something that got me thrown out of that big circle group.

Next day I was asked to do a test: find out what I like and what I don’t. I spent a lot of time with that test, because, honestly, I didn’t know. I didn’t know what I liked and what I preferred.

They made me retake the test, and I failed again. Holy Mackerel… I had no I. I mean I did have an I that threw its weight around, that won competitions, that got thrown out of groups, that pontificated and sympathized with people…

And yet there was no solid I… an I I could return to to be true to myself, to refuel myself, to be free to be myself. Continue reading “You want to be free… free to be yourself… but who are you? You don’t know yourself…”

When having nothing to do drives you crazy… Updated

The Active Mindset: A Sure Way To Avoid All Boredom With Life ¹

I stumbled on an article that addresses an issue I have been seeing… and sheds light at what has been invisible to me, at the why of it: why people are not curious, why people have no questions, why people are afraid of idleness, why people choose busyness instead of doing something that is worth doing.

It’s everywhere. It’s nearly everybody. It is why you have a hard time falling asleep… or conversely why you fall asleep as soon as you put your head on the pillow. Both are symptoms of the same invisible.

It’s what drives you to busyness… to reading everything, to watching every video, to play video games incessantly, to talking without taking a breath, to overwhelming yourself and never doing anything well.

It’s your inability to think… instead of having thoughts. You have thoughts in the mind… and would think outside of the mind. Continue reading “When having nothing to do drives you crazy… Updated”

Making the invisible visible! how do you do that?

Making the invisible visible

is this the same as making the unconscious conscious? Maybe… let me ponder that!

But let me tell you when and how I was first introduced to the invisible… because truth be told, because the invisible cannot be seen, I completely ignored it till then.

I was at a Peak Potentials course. I think it was the Wizard course. Continue reading “Making the invisible visible! how do you do that?”

You cannot catch what you don’t see or how to face the tiger

You cannot catch what you don’t see and how to face the tiger

Face the tiger? what tiger?!

You can’t catch what you don’t see; do you keep them sacred like a great white tiger?

I was wondering what I should write about today.

I have half a dozen half written posts, but what should I write about today?

Then, as I was doing some energy work on myself, it came to me.

I have a young friend, he is about 4. He is my chiropractor’s son, he lives in Baltimore with his mother, but for about a week every month he is in Syracuse, and I always make it a point to spend a few hours with him.

Today was the day, and we were playing, and singing, and laughing. He goes to school, and he had learned a lot of new songs, so he was singing a lot today. One of the songs was “You can’t catch what you don’t see”

That is what I want to talk to you about today. That you want to see what you don’t see. Continue reading “You cannot catch what you don’t see or how to face the tiger”

Can you eliminate beliefs?

Is there such a thing as a belief? Are beliefs real?

Yes and no. In reality? no such thing as a belief. Belief is a mind construct.

So what is holding you back in life if not beliefs?

In my previous article I talk about the backdrop, and that the backdrop is made up of all the things you say, all the things you heard/read that you accepted, and surprisingly also all the things you have resisted.

Why are things you resisted there? Because things you don’t consider true or facts: you don’t resist.

If I told you that you were a zebra, you would not resist. But if I tell you you are a loser, or worthless, or stupid… you’ll resist… because they could be true… what if it’s true? and now it is part of your backdrop. Continue reading “Can you eliminate beliefs?”

I watched the second season of Goliath on Amazon yesterday…

I watched the second season of Goliath on Amazon yesterday.

It was a huge let-down. Not because it was bad, but because it was truthful.

We have been acclimated, we have been trained, to expect that the good will always win. The other people can fight your fight. That there is hope.

There is no hope.

I could have expected that from Billy Bob Thornton, after his Sling blade movie. But I was still jarred awake.

And if I needed to be jarred awake, you doubly, triply need to be jarred awake.

Your understanding of the world, your worldview has handed your life, your control, over to others… who use it to enrich themselves.

Your accurate vocabulary is so low partially because you are taught to think positive, you are taught to close your eyes instead of looking at reality. Continue reading “I watched the second season of Goliath on Amazon yesterday…”

Why your life is like an obstacle course… ups and downs…

Roller coasters are fun, exciting, and you can scream all you want… But when your whole life is a roller coaster, 24/7, that is not fun. That is exhausting.

I used to feel like my life was a roller coaster. Like people, emotions (my reactions to people, events, tasks) were jerking me left and jerking me right.

I hated the experience. I like smooth. I like to feel in control of my life and my inner state.

That girl is me… I HAAAATE roller coaster, the real one and life that is like one. Always hated it.

But nothing I knew could do that for me, smooth out my ride… nothing. … and believe me, I tried.

I took courses. I learned to use energies. I exercised. Nothing seemed to eliminate the roller coaster… until… until a few months ago. The ride was getting smoother… but life was still jerking me.

In this article I’ll teach you what’s going on in the invisible, that life is like that… and what to do about it.

How will increasing the accuracy of your vocabulary lead you to a fuller experience of life, joy, purpose?

Yesterday I had a conversation where I had a number of opportunities to see how and what way your unclarity, your vocabulary, shows up, not as a theory, but as a reality.

How it prevents you from seeing reality, or hearing what is being said.

It was somewhat new to me, so if it was new to me, it will be really new to you.
