Intelligence: your view on intelligence is limiting you

how-smart-are-you-measuring-your-intelligence-levelWe all want to be intelligent, and we are never satisfied…

How come? How come we are never happy with ourselves, never happy with our results, our lives?

I have found, yesterday and today, that what we consider intelligence is wildly different from what it is, and having intelligence, intelligent behavior so misunderstood, is a big cause of us not being happy with ourselves.

Here is what I found… let’s see if I can articulate it in a way that it can make a difference for you.

What I saw today at the skill finding workshop

What I saw today at the skill finding workshop
burning-moneyMy takeaways from session One of my skill workshop

Some of my students are struggling to make real headway in the world, because they haven’t been able to see where their abilities could make them a success.

Although I haven’t lead the “What color is your parachute” skill finder workshop in years, I decided to gift them with a really low priced opportunity to do that workshop live with me.

I didn’t know what to expect. What I got is so much different, and so much more than what I thought could come out of that workshop… at least from the first session.

Insight #1: I got a whole new insight about IQ.

Are you using your adult capacities?

babies capacities match their ageThe first Osho book I have ever read, was Maturity. I started to read it in the store, and fell in love with it.

It echoed one of my favorite Landmark Education courses, the Wisdom Course.

In that course, maturity was a state (they call it possibility, just a Landmark Education word!): where you were using adult capacities to live your life.

One would think that when you are an adult you use your adult capacities, but that is not the case.

Spiritual Laws that you disobey: The Law of Flexibility

Spiritual Laws that you disobey: The Law of Flexibility

Ask anyone; the happiest moments of one’s life are the moment when we find ourselves in our vertical self… or at least centered and grounded in the bottom of it.

It doesn’t happen a lot, because we are brought up and encouraged to live in our horizontal being.

More on the Law of Process

body-builder-skinny-skipped-leg-dayI have been observing people for about 30 years… I have participated with thousands. I have coached thousands. I have been friends with a few.

There has been one thing in common with all of them: they picked and chose what they wanted to do, so they never succeeded.

I observed the same thing on myself, and to the degree that it is there, to the degree someone won’t amount to anything, won’t amount to much.

I read quite a few sales letters a day, 1 mostly because I am interested… not in buying, but …

Awakening to the glass ceilings we have…

growth is a processYesterday I did some teaching with some people and the stuff didn’t go through. I am at a point where I am questioning if anything can be taught, if any change can be accomplished, if the current humanity is even able to go to the next level of evolution.

Knowing will not make your life smooth sailing…

Knowing will not make your life smooth sailing…

rough_seasThis article may be a bit upsetting… but hey, I am known for rocking the boat… Being a trouble-maker. Have always been…

Can you identify with this scenario?

Something bothers you. Something hits you the wrong way.

You sit and you say: ‘I know I shouldn’t be upset about this. I know it is not cool. I even know that it is my issue, but I am still bothered.’

And you are bothered, and you are bothered.

Mind Bug #1: Knowing about, not knowing it…

Mind Bug #1: Knowing about, not knowing it…

knowing is the booby prizeThe first and most important bug is KNOWING

In the Bible, in Aramaic, the verb “know” means living with, sleeping with. Intellectual knowing is a different word.

In today’s word knowing is one of those words that have many meanings. The purpose of calling many things with the same word is to cause confusion. A confused mind is easy to control, just ask the “street hypnotists” that make you willingly hand over your valuables, even go home and bring all your jewelry to them… Their method is to confuse the mind… So there you have it.

I have created a separate blog for Andy Shaw’s A Bug Free Mind

I have created a separate blog for Andy Shaw’s A Bug Free Mind

Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of successTo answer the question in the title: I am not sure. I am guided…

In addition, a site where you can find all the “mind bugs” as Andy Shaw calls them, can be really useful.

My Playground program is the program where most of these “mind bugs” get driven up, but unless I write, in an organized fashion, our findings, it will be lost for humanity… and given the direction humanity is heading, that is really bad news.

By the way, I have been offering my special bonus for people who buy the Bug Free program through my link: a free month in my Playground program. It is a $40 program, and you can take it any time, just send me your receipt from Andy, and tell me when you want your month.

My experience has been, that removing even just one bug makes a huge difference, but removing 3-5 starts creating some elbow room for real change.
