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

Are you using your adult capacities?

The first Osho book I have ever read, was Maturity. I started to read it in the store, and fell in love with it.

It echoed one of my favorite Landmark Education courses, the Wisdom Course.

In that course, maturity was a state (they call it possibility, just a Landmark Education word!): where you were using adult capacities to live your life.

One would think that when you are an adult you use your adult capacities, but that is not the case.

The price of pretending being kind, nice, friendly, etc.

The price of pretending being kind, nice, friendly, etc. All your colors vs. your true colors painted over… choose

Everyone pretends. Everyone avoids. Everyone is trying to be blameless… but no one is.

Knowing will not make your life smooth sailing…

This article may be a bit upsetting… but hey, I am known for rocking the boat… Being a trouble-maker. Have always been…

Can you identify with this scenario?

Something bothers you. Something hits you the wrong way.

You sit and you say: ‘I know I shouldn’t be upset about this. I know it is not cool. I even know that it is my issue, but I am still bothered.’

And you are bothered, and you are bothered.

Review: Is Andy Shaw’s book, A Bug Free Mind a fraud? Will you get successful reading it?

The original post was written BEFORE I got my copy of The Bug Free Mind book from Andy Shaw. This is the actual review:

I knew it was worth reading, (muscletested it, of course) but I had no idea why. The truth value sounds like not enough, but compared to others’ truth value, it is at least twice, and what may be even more important: it talks about things, it makes you think about things that no one else does… except me.

Please don’t be optimistic. Optimism is a delusion

Most of the things that make sense are wrong: optimism, hope, big desires, motivation…

It’s the last day of 2014, and there is an undue optimism in the air. A stranger even said hello to me in the street…

Even more than at the beginning of spring… the calendar is telling you that hopefully 2015 will be different.

You will lose the weight, you will find the job of your dreams, you will get out of debt, you will start that business, you will find the love of your life. Continue reading “Please don’t be optimistic. Optimism is a delusion”

The sentence that was worth $100

Sometimes it is worth buying a book for $100 that has one sentence… the rest is gravy.

The sentence that was worth the $100 is:

If you are angry at a person who is unconscious, is like being angry at a dog for being a dog.

And at another place

Christmas, alone, my empath mother, getting to no thing

As far as I can see back, Christmas was a painful reminder that I am alone.

I always wanted to go home… home was a place where I longed to be, but I had no idea what that would be like. Surely where I lived wasn’t home. Surely the people I was with left me feeling alone.

Later, relationship made my life busy, but I still felt alone. Not envying others, not something wrong, just alone. Like you are on the top of a mountain, and no one to share the experience with.

The doors to heaven swing on little hinges

The doors to heaven swing on little hinges or the delusion that keeps them closed

What’s missing that ALL self-improvement, self-development products end up on the “fraud” pile that is as high as mount Everest?

Ultimately there are two types of teachers:

Can do (occasionally) what they teach, but unaware and unconscious of what they are doing
Can’t even do what they teach, but expect you to do it regardless

The evolutionary approach to your inner stress, lack, misery

This article stands the current culture and the current approach to spirituality, consciousness, self-growth on its head… If you are happy to be miserable, please don’t read it!

Watch this short movie. If it doesn’t bring tears in your eyes, pain in your heart, then probably this article isn’t for you Continue reading “The evolutionary approach to your inner stress, lack, misery”

The story of your life… told the same way or differently

One of my greatest revelations about transformational methods was in the Wisdom Course, a year long Landmark Education program.

It was a method of telling the story of your life.

You can tell the story of your life in a lot of ways.

- from abuse to abuse
- from success to success
- from the point of view of what school you went to
