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

One of the most useful things I have ever done for myself

One of the most useful things I have ever done is this:

I would find a mentor. I offered my services to do whatever needed done. More often than not I learned useful skills through the doing. Skills that I needed for myself. And while I was around the mentor, I could learn from him.

Life needs a lot of skills to do life successfully. The opportunities to learn those skills is sparse… Because skills are not knowledge, even if they are mental, intellectual skills: they are the ability to do, to perform a skill… not to understand it.

break out of the life the selfish gene allows you to live?

How does mind serve the ego, and ego serves the selfish gene… Evolutionary view of ‘team you’

Tuesdays are my days to interface with people who are neither my readers, nor my clients.

Ordinary people. And although it is very frustrating to me, and maybe even them, I learn a lot from these unpleasant interactions.

Ever since I read The Selfish Gene, a book, and even more since I read the book ‘Why beautiful people have daughters’ a look on life through evolutionary psychology, I am trying to match what I read with what I see, hear, and feel.

Second Wind: Abilities or effort? The role of effort

Everyone can get to the good life, but not everyone will get to the good life. Why? Because not everyone is willing to do what they need to do to get to the good life.
Tai Lopez said that. What he didn’t say: you need to go beyond where you are comfortable, so you’ll need a second wind.

And it is true on certain conditions. Continue reading “Second Wind: Abilities or effort? The role of effort”

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.

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.

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.

You can’t think your way to consciousness… you need to start with consciousness

For consciousness to awaken and become part of your life, you need to be willing to be stupid.

But if all your life you’ve taken pride in being smart, that “smart” has you in its clutches…

You try to do life with your mind, with your intellect, you are trying to get smarter… but smarts will only get you so far…

Smarts will not even allow you to understand what I am talking about. You see it is something you want. I tell you, you can’t get it through smarts. But you are unwilling to let go of being smart… so you are stuck.

When I am sent a link to video… I know I lost that person. They went to a heady, brainy stuff to figure out what I was saying.

For hours. For days. For weeks, months, years. But what I talk about cannot be “gotten” with the intellect or with the mind.

Why? Because it comes from consciousness, and only consciousness can get it.

A breakthrough in raising my level of consciousness

I just had a breakthrough…

I have been teaching you how to raise your consciousness, your level of consciousness, by allowing something or someone guide you to look at things beyond where you always look, and differently than you have always looked.

I consider myself always a student as well… so I have been listening to myself, and following my own teaching.

But the results, in the area of growing visibility, increasing my following, increasing my income, have been stagnant… I could not see anything new…

Until this morning. Continue reading “A breakthrough in raising my level of consciousness”

Make consciousness guide you and other important stuff

As you may know, I work with consciousness… Let me rephrase that: I send consciousness to do research for me before I choose a path.

Of course, consciousness is not some entity independent of me, so it cannot go far… in essence, consciousness is on a leash: unless I go, it cannot go. So, I am talking about working together: I go, consciousness looks.

So it is like a seeing eye dog.

It comes back with lot of options… and it is up to me what paths I can take, and what paths I cannot take.

Can, cannot… can’t I take any path?

After all the saying says: you can be anything you put your mind into… but it is a stupid suggestion for two reasons I can see:

Narrow cone of vision and your health

Imagine having to find your way through a maze without seeing past the tiny circle a flashlight can illuminate?

“Luckily” you only have to look at your life. Your health, your money, your love life.

You ARE living your life, a veritable maze, by the light of a flashlight.

You read an article here… yay, I see may way. A sound bite there… yay, I see now… But it is still the tiny flashlight method: you don’t see the big picture, you don’t see your way to the good life.

Seeing the full picture, the big picture capacity, looking with consciousness that can see everything, is like turning the ceiling light on: you’d be seeing a lot more, wouldn’t you? Making less “narrow picture” mistakes…
