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

Looking at the quote “No problem can be solved on the same level of consciousness which created it…” through spiritual capacities

The quote, “No problem can be solved on the same level of consciousness which created it…” is thrown about, without a true understanding what the saying entails.

When Einstein was a professor of Physics, he gave a test to his graduate students. His assistant remarked: “Isn’t this the exact same exam you gave these students a year ago?”
“Yes, exactly. answered Einstein. The questions are the same… The answers have changed”

Today his answer is as true as it was 70 years ago
The questions are still the same… and the answers have changed… and yet, we are trying to do more of the same, less of the same, but never any different, because the level of consciousness is stuck at a low level.

Doing different can only come from seeing different, seeing differently, looking from a different consciousness level.

Spiritual capacities: Abundance, and my barriers to it

I have had a few skype calls with friends in Hungary recently. I had a hard time expressing myself when the conversation came to my work. It seems that I have been trapped in one way of saying things, naming thing, untranslatable to another culture, no words, just stammers. Result: they don’t quite get it.

I saw that I could use phrases similar to what other “spiritual teachers”, the popular ones, the ones that sold out to the mainstream, use to success, like the gurus of Mindvalley…

They go for the hungry crowd, and rake it in… I mean the money…

Millions of people search for the stuff these gurus sell… none of it works, because the stuff they teach isn’t true, therefore it can’t work. And, or course, millions of people are ALWAYS wrong. If it appeals to millions then it’s crap… Because that is what appeals to the majority that is always wrong…

Self-awareness: and your financial and relationship troubles

What is self-awareness?

Is it feeling what you feel, thinking what you think, doing what you do, and knowing you are feeling, thinking, doing that?

I think self-awareness is beyond that. self-awareness is a positional shift for the self that is aware. Positional meant in a physical sense, in a physical movement of the vantage point.

It is one thing to feel from inside the body, and it’s another thing from observing it, as the body feels what it feels. Continue reading “Self-awareness: and your financial and relationship troubles”

Swim or sink… do or die

This morning my main computer quietly died.

Times like this are the real tests whether the capacities are working or not.

Suddenly I had no access to anything that is on that computer, not the data, not the software, and I had a few choices: go crazy, go out of business, or bring resiliency, aka mental toughness to carry the day.

It’s Tuesday, and a few minutes after the death of my trusty computer, I went downstairs and to my weekly outing to the chiropractor and to the grocery store.

These excursions, the conversations with Sarah, the woman who drives me, and my chiropractor, could have been opportunities for complaining, and although I shared it with both, and both offered their help, I said thank you, and continued with the day like nothing happened.

I managed not to drag the issue to areas where it didn’t belong.

Activism, reforms, revolution… a timely inquiry

Did you know that every revolution has been, historically, just a re-shuffling of who is going to have power over who?

When I first read Osho’s book, Rebellion, Revolution and Religiousness, I actively worked on understanding.

In Hungary we learned a lot more history than American students do, and I personally have seen revolution, and reform and all that never changed anything on the long run.

It’s like making a dish, turning it on a plate… and thinking that now it’s different. No. it is the same dish… just what was on the bottom is now on the top. Continue reading “Activism, reforms, revolution… a timely inquiry”

Only failures, only mistakes teach you anything useful

I have been leading a webinar for quite a while, and it has always been brilliant, both to participate in and to lead.

It has always delivered on the promise:

show you what’s missing in an area of life, something that you can do something about so you can get unstuck and have that area of life be a lot better… and consequently all of your life.
Effect you so strong that it would get you, or a lot of you, finally get off your ass, and into action.

It’s worked for years… and this past weekend it didn’t.

I have now spent hours looking, and finally I see it. I see what happened. I see what I did differently. I missed the most important job of the workshop… Continue reading “Only failures, only mistakes teach you anything useful”

One step of the what’s missing workshop is sobering. As in a horrible wake up call…

While writing this article, unexpectedly, I managed to break through a self-imposed barrier I have had… It’s unexpected… Bear with me till the end, please…

In this step of the What’s Missing workshop, the participants’ task is to look at an area of life that isn’t working as well as it could… and look how it will look in 5-10 years if nothing changes.

Rule is: You won’t change your actions… or how you do your actions. You won’t change your attitude…

Result 5-10 years later: homeless, fired, alone, dead, in jail…

These are just examples. Some results are worse than this. Unfulfilled is the worst…

Turns out that the saying, the observation that ‘how you do anything is how you do everything’ finds its roots in this exercise.

What is the spiritual work I did to raise my vibration? You can do it too…

People ask: what is the spiritual practice, the spiritual work that allowed me to climb up to the skinny branches of the Tree of Life, and allowed so many spiritual capacities to turn on? To raise my vibration…

All these years I’ve been asked, and all these years I didn’t know what to answer. I didn’t know what to suggest that you do, that I did, until this morning.

This morning, while and after I was leading the workshop “What’s missing” I realized something profound:

Life is not set up to challenge you to turn on new capacities. The box you live in has no room for new capacities, and offers no challenges.

So how are you going to grow?

You can learn to swim by being thrown to the deep end of the pool, and it’s life or death… sink or swim. Not a pleasant experience, and will probably scare you away from swimming again, for life.

This is when the need for a new capacity is thrown at you. You are unprepared, and you are not at your best… because of fear. Incoherent, and reactive.

It is too late to dig a well when you are thirsty… and it is too late to summon empathy, or courage, or resiliency, or other capacities when you need it, unless you already have it.

This is how it works with capacities.

Empathy… Life’s most important capacity to master

In my inquiries, I find that more and more capacities that I’ve assumed we all have, it turns out, we don’t.

The question that has been puzzling me is why certain ethnic groups that were persecuted at any one time don’t recognize a similarly persecuted other ethnic group as comrades in suffering. Why one victim can’t and won’t give you a hoot about another victim’s misery.

I mostly see this in movies nowadays, but I used to participate in groups and in big seminars, so I have been seeing this forever.

But this was the first time I asked the question: why is this?

Are these bad people? And I guess that is what I have been stuck with until yesterday.

Yesterday I asked the question: is it a capacity to see the same fate in another?

The answer was yes. Hm… but then what is the capacity? Is it the seeing or is it the appreciating of it?
