I like French movies. For the most part they are off-kilter, and not obvious. Which means that French movies normally don’t come from the mind. And that means they don’t often come from the horizontal plane.
But, from time to time, ‘they’ slip through a movie that sides with the societal conspiracy, the conspiracy to enslave you. Continue reading “Rules of engagement on the horizontal plane”

The four core default contexts… or Why I stopped participating in Landmark Education?
Actually, I continued to participate in Landmark Education after the incident I’ll tell you about… but NEVER intended to contribute any more. Or not really. I was participating from hurt… knowing that what was broken cannot be fixed.
18 years ago, as I was coaching someone, it became clear to me that there are this four core invisibles, that are underneath every issue, every distinction, every weird, unethical, unsavory action a human being makes. Continue reading “Why I stopped participating in Landmark Education?”
How do I tame my fear of the unknown, the difficult, the tasks I need to do that I am ill-suited to do?
One day I’ll have an editor. Or maybe a brilliant assistant. Someone who is good at things I am lousy at.
I have major holes in my brain. It started with my brain development in the womb. I am on the autistic spectrum, an experiment of sorts. Then I had my two massive brain injuries… One in 1969 and one in 1998.
So I was never good at putting things to order. Time order… what needs to get done first and what needs to get done next. Even just thinking about that, the brain cells that would do that work start to hurt. So maybe I should exercise them… hm… that is an idea. Continue reading “How do I tame my fear of the unknown, the difficult?”
I am going to quote an email from Tai Lopez, because it is so useful.
He talks about a conversation with the founder of Quest bars… A protein bar I would never touch… but the guy is smart, at least what he says here is very smart, and I wish I had said what he said: (I got stuck at a few sentences, so I changed them around hoping they make more sense that way) Continue reading “Building your self-esteem around things that hurt you?”
I had an impromptu (unplanned) conversation with a long time client yesterday. Unfortunately my recorder decided to run out of battery… so I didn’t record it.
This woman is one example of the perfect client for me.
So what is a perfect client? A perfect client is one who is able and willing to do what they need to do to fulfill on my promise to them.
My aim is to take you to a place where you are able to be well and stay well, make money and keep on making money, and feel good about yourself and keep feeling good about yourself

The size of your life is an indicator of the size of your possible happiness. What is the size of your life?In the Playground, people do the work in pairs… we call these Partner Calls.
A partner call needs to be about a problem that came up in an incident. It is less talking than looking.
The person who talks, while the other listens, looks at the incident and attempts to take it through a set of looking points… we call that a script. Continue reading “The size of your life is an indicator.. or what?”
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.

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.

What is the self? This question comes up again and again. Is it the same as the ego? Is it the same as soul? Is it this, is it that?
I have been asking this question as well. We didn’t come to this world to know self, and definitely weren’t allowed to get to know self.
The moment, in the cradle, you discovered that when you smiled adults got excited and gave you more attention, your corruption, the corruption of the untarnished, unspoiled self began.
The personality that you now honor as your self is on the circumference of your being. The circumference is rich in adjectives, adverbs, and poor in being.
You say I am this, and I am that, and I have to maintain this and that… or sometimes you say “being this” or “being that.”
The moment there is a word after the word “being” we are moving away from Self.
