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

Growth is like a spiral… only when you have made a full circle… that you see it

The 67 steps spiral… second take… I am at step two… and can see the territory I have covered.

There are a few incredibly useful distinctions in the 67 step program.

Of course, if you listen to the audios through the filter: true/false, right/wrong, agree/don’t agree, you’ll miss them all.

And it’s a pity.

How do I listen? I have said it before: I listen in theta mode… i.e. as if I were taking a shower. I get wet.

More, better, different… the wide world of what doesn’t make a difference

When you ask the question why you are reading my articles, your answer will be saying what you want.

More, better, different.

You may say: you want to raise your vibration, so you can have more, better, or different. What…

You may be prepared to do different, maybe even more, but you surely aren’t thinking that it is NOT what you do, it is how you do it.

When I talk about beingness… you think it’s a what. But it’s a how.

When I say “love,” you hear “what”. but I mean “how”. When I say generous, you hear “ugh, I have to give” which is a what, while generous is a how.

As long as you are interested in the “what” and not the “how” you remain the same

If you go about it the same way you have always gone, you’ll get the same results: not much.

I just got an insight I want to share.

There are all kinds of valid sayings that, as it turns out, only tell half truths.

If you do what you have always done… you’ll get what you have always gotten. Meaning: do something different.

But when you do something different, you get the same dismal result.

So what they are missing is the how.

The how, interestingly, points to your beingness. To your approach, not only to the task, but to life.

Because, please don’t forget, how you do anything is how you do everything.

The how is your approach.

If you feel you are losing yourself, maybe lost yourself…

If you feel you are losing yourself, maybe lost yourself… How losing yourself happens, and how you can live a life where you never lose yourself?

This past week I had a lot of interactions: a lot more than usual.

I had calls, where the other person, from time to time, got hold of the steering wheel… and it felt dangerous for me of losing control or the conversation.

I also had to cancel some utilities and restart them with a different provider.

The bad cell phone connection, the voice mail systems, the operators that talk without listening, like a machine, the hold-music… all factors that could be causing me to lose myself.

Loud TV, a typical marketeer loud forceful audio on the computer, peak traffic, noises, bumping into carts in the grocery store… all tearing at you, wanting attention.

Power… What it is and how you leak it down to next to nothing…

I am watching Person of Interest for the second time on Netflix. I argue, I get angry, hateful, steaming… I criticize, a am sad, depressed, in total reaction mode.

I am watching the “bad guy” calm, collected, emotionless, calculated, for years working patiently and methodically towards the success of the Dark Side.

Hm, the good side is losing, and the dark side us unstoppable.

And then I see it.

Intangible capacity: complete and thorough

Complete and thorough

It’s a behavior we mostly only know as “missing” in others.

We see what others don’t do… and we complain.
We rarely see ourselves not doing a complete and thorough job.

Why? Because doing a complete and thorough job means going outside the narrow swath our cone of vision lights up.

Even when someone gives us feedback, we consider it their problem…

Here is a positive example:

The path to truth

This article has three parts: truth in science, truth in growth, and truth in hindsight…

There are two ways to “do” science:

you have a theory, and you set out to prove it. You ignore everything that doesn’t prove it, and consider only what does.This is how current science works… especially when the livelihood of the “scientist” comes from a concerned party, like a drug company, or like the government.The eye movement of this type of “scientist” is a narrow cone of vision, glued to what he wants to prove.

Case study: Attachment removal. What can you learn from it?

I started to offer attachment removal in 2015, I think. This is one I did today… and I am sharing it with you because there is a great lesson in it, especially if you read Osho’s words I also included:

She: Do I have any attachments?

Me: yes. you have about 20 Continue reading “Case study: Attachment removal. What can you learn from it?”

John Wooden’s way to raise vibration and consciousness

I have been looking a map to show you how to get from where you are to a high consciousness, to a high vibration.

Today I watched two John Wooden (UCLA basketball coach) videos on youtube, and got the feeling that His method and his principles apply to becoming conscious and start the journey to become a human being.

Updated: Does Meditation raise your awareness? Your ‘worth a damn’ factor

Does Meditation raise your awareness?

There are lots of interpretations of meditation, so I am going to share mine.

Meditation is a practice to increase awareness.

Awareness is a transitive word: it has a direction. Awareness of what? And therein lies the mischief when people use the word.

Awareness is always directed.
When some of my students meditate, they go into la-la land… they literally become unconscious. Although after a long life of busy mind that is blissful, it is not useful.
Awareness, and therefore meditation is useful.
