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

We all have filters. Should we get rid of them? Are they all bad?

We all want to remove the filters, at least those of us that even know about them.

But what you need to understand is this: filters are necessary. Without filters reality cannot get through to you, without filters you are not able to interact with reality at all.

What is a filter, really? Filter is a predefined translator. Partially it is words. If and when you cannot name something, it doesn’t exist for you, or you don’t have any power to interact with it.

I remember my first encounter with “there is no filter/words for this thing” some 30-40 years ago in a book of short stories. There was this thing, heavy, big, silent, and it was threatening as hell… and the whole town was in fear of it. They didn’t know what it was, and therefore they had no way to interact with it.

Easy vs what works. Illusion vs reality… how to tell the difference?

We are living in the matrix. We eat make-believe food, have make-believe relationships, fight for make-believe causes.

The main weapon of the illusion that it convinces you that it doesn’t exist. They used to say that about the devil… but the real devil is the creators, the pushers, the promoters of the illusion. ¹

25 years ago I participated, briefly, in a 12-step program: Adult Children of Alcoholics. As you may know, the first step of joining a group like that is to pick a higher power. Why? I am not sure, I have done no research. I am going to share my own way of using “higher power” because it is relevant to this topic.

I am an atheist. I do not believe that there is a higher power, per se. I do feel that there is a certain order in the Universe, that it is even intelligent, but Higher Power?

And yet, what makes AA and other 12-step programs work, is this higher power thing…

Talk back to me: Are my audios subliminal? Do I have trade secrets? What’s in the audios?

Question:

Sophie,
Thank you for sending the audio.
The effect I’m experiencing – is that I feel more determined to accomplish my goals. I feel driven – as if nothing will stop me from seeing my goals completed.
I tried to explain your audios to someone, but she wanted more info. Without giving away trade secrets – you need to be clearer on what the audios are. Do you have subliminal messages beneath the nature sounds, is it just sounds, vibrations? People are unwilling to try something new unless you explain exactly what they are getting. Lots of people have tried everything under the sun without getting results, so now people are getting a little wary. Just my thoughts…

Answer:

Religion… what is it, what’s valid about it, and what is an enslavement device, or the “opium for the masses”

There is religion and there is religiousness. People of religion are fakes, pretenders, and not religious.

Wikipedia: Religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and worldviews that relate humanity to the supernatural, to spirituality and, sometimes, to moral values

Religiousness is listening keenly to the call of the Universe… and heeding it, behaving and acting in harmony with all, all living and not living things. When you heed the written and dead word, you cannot be religious, because you yourself are not alive, you yourself are dead.

All religions were, originally, a worldview, a worldview, forever changing. As soon as more phenomenon was experienced, the more it changed. This is the true nature of knowledge.

The physical, knowable universe is about 1% of all there is. The number 1% is not the truth, it is an indication only for the vast and incomparable gap between what’s knowable and what isn’t. The proportion of the knowable and unknowable is unchanging, it’s probably the only constant in the universe.

How do we glean knowledge? Something happens. And then we explain it. From the limited perspective of the human mind. Then something else happens, that modifies what we had already known. Organic, and highly changeable.

Until… until someone decides that this is all the knowledge, and they create a dogma from it.

What is my experience with healing stones? Crystals? Do they heal or are they a fraud?

What is my experience with healing stones?

The question comes from the limited perspective of the human mind. In the physical existence we need to rely on our five senses, and inside the five senses, there is no sense that can tell if a stone or a crystal is doing something or not… or not quite. If we were sensitive enough, if we didn’t resist every “negative” feeling, we could feel the feeling vibrations of a stone, but most of us don’t.

Bach flowers, the energies in the Bach Flower Remedies or Bach Flower energies, have an energetic signature. It is much like music, recognizable, has a mood, a tempo, a timber to it. It evokes a feeling. A mood.

When you ingest the Bach Flower remedies, the feelings are matched. The feeling of the flower, the feeling of the Bach Flower energy. They are meeting your feelings, blocked feelings, resisted feelings head on and they effectively release the blockage.

The vibrational pattern, the vibrational signature of the organized, intentional energy of the Bach Flower Energy wins every time. It smoothes out the tangles wires, and you feel better.

Let’s follow this last analogy to see how this works with stones. Each stone has an energetic signature. When it is big enough and you put it next to your body, it will work two possible ways:

How Is Procrastination Helpful to You? Really Helpful! I am not Kidding! UPDATED

Procrastination is not an issue, it’s a symptom

As you may know, I am leading a twice a week course, called Daily Connection. There is no set curriculum: the goal is to peel away the not-you. The not-self. The false self. Just like Michelangelo chipped away what’s not David…

There are two approaches to coaching people to be their best:

to call them infinite being, beautiful, loving, blah blah blah. It’s holding your face to the light. I am not attracted to that.
The methodology of Kabbalah and Landmark Education and maybe even Dianetics: find the not self, identify it, and transform it. Not change it, but transform it.

A cancer cell changed is still a cancer cell. A cancer cell transformed is a normal cell with a specific function in the body.

Meditation: What is it and why is it useful?

Meditation

I wrote this article a year and a half ago. I never published it, but I will, now. Why? Because I have a lot more insight about meditation I can share, and because I offered a famous marketer to teach him meditation, and he hasn’t even bothered to answer my email.

I write many of my articles as a way to poke the Universe for answers, as a way to force my intelligence into gear.

What is meditation and what is the role of meditation?
Quoting from Wikipedia: Meditation is a practice in which an individual trains the mind or induces a mode of consciousness, either to realize some benefit or as an end in itself
I will examine this question as a non-meditator who has tried to meditate and failed.
I am not against meditation. Meditation as a tool, to allow all knowledge to reach you, past the noise of all there is, distinguished as knowledge beyond your own, is invaluable.
I have been quasi meditating the past day or so… the questions I am meditating over are
1. whether God is a sentient being
2. whether the “law” of attraction, the law that says that you can earn something coming to you

What could you learn in the Self-Healing Course?

What will I teach in the Self-Healing Course?

As far as I can see, your well-being suffers most from what you hold as true. And what you hold as true comes from three sources:

1. your body’s wisdom of the ages, this is true, but being interpreted by the mind… so
2. your infinite wisdom from the vantage point of the limited perspective of the human mind… mostly wrong
3. information you hear or read

At this day and age, all of our signals are crossed, and cannot trust anything.

I will give you and example: if I asked you what sweet cravings mean, you would tell me the party line, or one version of it

1. you are addicted to sweets
2. you should eat something sweet… your body tells you

What you don’t know is that the taste buds on your tongue developed long long time ago, and they guided to you eat what your body needed very reliably. At that time, humans were hunters and gatherers, not like monkies, not living in trees, living mostly on the planes where they had more advantage given their body… and the tools they used to kill.

What Attitude That Is Most Missing For You To Succeed?

I got an email from a reader today, one of many such emails:

“Hi Sophie, I listened to your video but I didn’t get the answer or find solution to my struggles in life! I am wondering, yes as you said, why I am not transformed in-spite of learning so many methods from attending seminars and reading books! I came from a broken family I tried to change my life but sometimes my life was up but mostly down!
Financially I struggle, bankrupt and thinking to end my life. . . But when I hear your story, I did not and I am now almost 5 years searching for answers? I have read the Bible many times from cover to end and everyday, I received emails trying to sell me self-improvement books but I am fed up, nothing works! I would appreciate if you can help me!”

So what can you answer to someone who has been struggling and considering suicide a viable alternative?

One major distinction I need to teach to all my readers, students, a distinction that if you don’t learn it, you’ll miss everything.

The distinction is called: Where are you listening from?

The from is the operative word here. It is your base attitude consistent with your “grounds of being”.

We each are embedded in a paradigm. The insides and the walls of our paradigm are built from our belief system. Your paradigm has everything that you need to stay the same, and nothing to be more successful that you are, happier than you are, thinner, richer, more entertaining, more attractive than you are.

Your current life is exactly what’s possible inside your current paradigm.

When you look at someone who has what you crave, you can be 100% sure that they live in a different paradigm with beliefs that can’t be found in yours.

Connecting To Source: Removing The Limited Perspective Of The Human Mind

In this article I’d like to share about one benefit that you see when you connect, and you connect regularly.

In the 6,000 years that we’ve been voluntarily disconnected from our Source, we have been limited to the vantage point being ground-bound, physical existence-bound, mind-bound, past-bound.
