One of the transformational moves I use with my students is ‘flipping the context.’
Context is decisive, and the context inside which you live your life is what makes your life great or horrible… not what happens to you. Continue reading “You can flip the context of anything… and change your life”

When you cry and the crying/sobbing has no content. When you don’t know why you are crying, then something deep is clearing out.
But when you know why you are crying, then some past, some meaning, some opinion gets confirmed and your ego will continue giving you ‘reason’ to cry. Continue reading “Crying: what does it do for you? Expect the unexpected…”
I have started the Osho meditation series with Day One.
Lots of talk… very meditative for me. Participants complained that there was no meditation.
When you meditate, that doesn’t mean there is silence outside. The silence is inside. When you meditate it doesn’t mean you cannot listen to someone talk: it only means you listen and hear it, but not through the busy mind, that compares, argues, tries to understand, criticizes and judges. No, the mind simply allows it to be, allows it in, in a meditative state.
It is like when you are in the shower. The mind doesn’t argue with every drop of water… and you can get wet without the mind interfering.

Self-improvement, self-development is a lot like the illegal drug trade. It’s not regulated. A few ‘cartels’ dominate the market. What they sell is mostly addictive, pleasure promising, but on the long term destroys the user’s life.
Then there are the drug pushers, the evangelists that seems to know what’s right and what’s wrong, and how a teacher should or should not be.
The programs and the tools are ineffective… you’ll find out why later in this article.

Why is it so difficult to change?
I am in the business of causing change… Causing you to cause change for yourself…
I, for a period of time, declared that the context of my life was to be an inspiring leader of leaders.
How did that go? Not very well, I must admit. Continue reading “Why Is It So Hard to Change? A look under the hood”
I wrote this article in 2016…
I intended to write a different article today, but this is too important to wait…
I had neurological issues this past few weeks. I started to be wobbly, words weren’t coming easily, easy words, and then to top it off, I was dropping an egg or two: they just slipped from my hand. Four eggs in one week… NEVER even one before, in 69 years. 1
The problem with “diagnosing” issues, nearly any health issue, is this: the process is linear.
Linear means that you ask a question and depending on what you get, you continue on a single path.
But… but the question depends on your insights and on your knowledge. Continue reading “I thought I had the beginnings of Parkinson’s Disease”

Dominant belief is like the fir tree that was growing in this Russian man’s lung. True story… and a great illustration of what an attachment is and how it debilitates you.
15 years ago I met a guy who was into energies. It all sounded a tall tale to me, somewhat irritating, to tell you the truth. After all I knew everything about everything… and this wasn’t one of the things I had even heard of… energies?
Anyway, I was proven wrong soon, and became a convert.
Energies became very real for me, as physical as dirt and milk and bread… Soon I was training to become an energy practitioner, and I worked on him, on myself, and even traded energy work for massage therapy… Continue reading “Dominant belief is found to act like an energetic attachment”

I was lead to an old article of mine. Controversial, and I bet not very useful for most people…
I wrote it in 2012. I have grown a lot since then.
In the article I was attempting to guide you to detect truth value, estimate the vibration teachers and products… without muscletesting.
In the article I was making the same mistake I have been making, all my life: supposing that you can see patterns, that you can see behind the curtain, that you can see more than you actually can.
Emotional intelligence, the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically, seeing emotional patterns, being able to detect lies, not by rigid made up rules, like in law enforcement, but to actually see something that another is trying to hide, or someone trying to make airs, or such… requires a lot higher emotional and overall intelligence than most of us have.
Continue reading “What level is your emotional intelligence? Your EQ…”

Why you can’t go to the next evolutionary stage? Why you can’t be living your soul’s purpose? Why you can’t raise your vibration? And what you can do about it?
I have mentioned in another post that I am re-reading the book, The Tipping Point. It’s a brilliant book and it talks about something that is very very relevant to the work we are doing here. The work we are attempting to do…
It’s about raising the vibration of humanity, taking humanity, or at least a small group, to the next evolutionary stage.
This article is about what is in the way (the single most important obstacle) and how to go about removing it.
I wrote this article four years ago. But it fits well into the series on becoming someone who can produce, who can stand out… so read it.
I am doing the 67 steps program… not once, but with every student of mine…
This article is a revelation to me. It’s on the importance of strategy, through what I see about myself and about all of us underachievers. It’s a long article, and slightly disheveled… please forgive the meandering.
I’ve started to get up early in November of last year.
I have noticed on myself that this step (Poor man/rich men) made me look if I am really into growing, or if I am secretly holding back…
How interesting… I have a lot more time, but I am not doing much with it. Continue reading “Without strategy your knowledge is useless”
