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

Who is running your life, the entrepreneur you or who?

Just like a company, shrinking looks like a good way to increase profitability.

But business may be (it isn’t) about profitability, but life isn’t.

When someone asks me what is the surest path to Expanding Human Being, I always bring up Bob the Butler. Or the quote and principle from the Neal Stephenson book: Diamond Age. Start living an interesting life. When your goal is not to win every step of the way, it is not to shrink to the size that you can manage, but to grow through trials and failures to the sky: i.e. an interesting life.

Winners of remedy naming contest announced

Thank you everyone for participating.

Why do some people get fantastic results from the activators or the remedies and others get nothing or not much?

Maxwell Maltz, the creator of the program and methodology Psycho Cybernetics, was a plastic surgeon. Plastic surgery, as a rule, is to make someone more beautiful.

Many of his patients, though, didn’t get what they hoped for. Everyone said that they were beautiful, but they could not see their new you, only the ugly that they wanted to get rid of.

We could say that they had a filter that allowed only the imperfections through. I think that this “theory” is more accurate than Maxwell Maltz’s theory of self-image.

The invisibles, the secret to taking charge of your life

What are the invisibles?

A student of mine emailed me a few seconds ago.

She says: I grieve the loss of the camaraderie. And the affectionate joking that was so much fun. Is it dead, or does it have a chance of returning some day?
My answer to that was short, cryptic: “look at yourself first… always”

I am certain that she received it as an insult. But what was my answer? It was coaching.

When the saying says: There are three mysteries of life: Air to a bird; water to a fish; and man to himself.

What holds you back in life?

We are having a sticking point in my classes ¹ : people seem to be understanding what there is to understand while they are in class, but completely forget it, and never use it. By the time the next class rolls around, it is all gone, forgotten.

Last night I gave a homework to every person: come back next session and tell me, prove it to me, whether I am a good teacher or a bad teacher.

It’s a risky move, because given the results, not much, it is predictable that people will go to one or all of the following places:

MindValley’s total transformation class with Dr. Fabrizio Mancini and Christine Bullock

I am an affiliate (get commission) at MindValley. I have even applied to be one of their teachers, but they sent me a form letter back, so I said F… it. I’ll go on my own.

I duplicated the video at the bottom or the post…

Here is the email I am supposed to send you:

[First Name], do you meditate daily? Over 30 million people in America do.
And do you know what daily meditation can do to you?
It can…

Breath is access to Soul, to all-of-it, your higher self.

Breath is access to Soul, to all-of-it, your higher self. Finding the blockages in breath and eliminating them

Nearly all of humanity is infected with the mind virus. Slowly we constitute our whole self and our whole world as our minds, unaware that we are several magnitudes more powerful than the mind… and by mind I mean the storage device of the brain, not the whole brain.

When I ask people on the calls to watch their breathing, or look for blockages, without exception they hold their breath: the mind tells them to do so. Why would the mind do that? Like all virus it is only interested in perpetuating itself, and when you are asked to watch or observe, accidentally! you might access your witness, your Observer, and then you will see the mind for what it is: a pea size hard drive able to do search and compare, and that’s it.

That is the part, that pea size hard drive that you have been asking to run your life effectively.

Resistance, disagreements, arguments, discord…

None of us is an island, and in our quest to carve out a meaningful life, we encounter resistance. Often a lot, even more often, from people who ‘should’ be on our side. Sometimes that person disagreeing with you is me… if you are one of my students.

The question is: how are you going to be? Who are you going to be? Are there any tricks that make it easier than it is to live life in a sea of disagreements?

I had an experience of discord this morning, an argument. Continue reading “Resistance, disagreements, arguments, discord…”

Guilt, Shame, Failure, an Expanding Human Being

Contrary to what my headline might suggest, this is actually an upbeat message.

Guilt is about what you have done. You did something you feel you should not have done, but you did it anyway. Out of spite, out of impulsivity, out of ignorance. Now you are suffering. You feel bad about it.

Shame is about who you are. You are, in your world, less than you should be. That should may come from religion, comparison with others, comparison with the potential you once were…. Either way, you disappointed yourself, and now you are suffering.

Failure in business/life has no connection to either of these.

Failures, in business/life, are those little solar lights stuck in the ground, on the way to success.

Can you help me pick the best label?

Hi! The contest hasn’t ended, but I have created a product based on the feedback so far… with two different labels. Here they are, #1 and #2. The only difference is in the little pictures: version 1 has the Bach Flowers, version 2 has ADD children… before and after the remedy.

Which one do you think is better? Please comment to vote.
