He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
A few years ago I lost my sense of smell.
Then I changed my diet and the sense of smell came back.
Surprisingly I often smell things that didn’t seem to be there… Bringing up memories of the times I smelled the same… good smell, bad smell, neutral smell.
It’s hot here, unseasonably hot, and to accommodate it I am taking cold showers and I am eating differently.

My disastrous conversation with the zealous Christian on the other end of the phone opened my eye to something I could not see clearly before.
What I saw is where religion, the popularized version, and where modern spiritual teacherdom overlap and join forces to dupe you.
Before I start:

When something isn’t working… money, love, health, business, school…
When something isn’t working consider that it’s because there is something that you don’t know.
Whether the something that isn’t working is money, love, health, business, school… the answer is always “there is something you don’t know.”
The brilliance of this statement that turned a broke loser, a serial nebbich, Harv Eker into a multimillionaire T. Harv Eker. The brilliance is that because you don’t know what it is that you don’t know… you need to open yourself up to looking. At everything. And a lot… Expose yourself to seeing stuff. He did it, and he is now rich. This one sentence, this one statement, this one habit.
This isn’t what he teaches, because this statement gives you all the power, and you don’t buy stuff when you have the power… He is so rich because no one understand this statement… But why?

Knowing what you want to achieve, is one thing that is missing in you. Another name for that is called “mental representation” of what you want to achieve.
Mental representation is a detailed picture, so detailed and so tangible, that you can pinpoint where reality is deviating from it… and how. Continue reading “Why is it important to know what you want?”
I am using Rob Brezsny’s words here… maybe his English communicates better than mine:
ANTI-INSTRUCTIONS
Exaggerate your flaws till they turn into virtues Pretend your wounds are exotic tattoos. Refuse the gifts that infringe on your freedom. Shun sacred places that fill you with boredom. Keep in mind it’s bad luck to be superstitious. The official story’s always fictitious. Pump up your karma with idiot laughter. The promised land’s here, not in some hereafter
We are searching for the answers so we can destroy them and dream up better questions

Life, happiness, well-being, prosperity is achieved and maintained only on a narrow and hemmed-in path (the strait), the opposite of what you wish it were, the opposite you see others have, the opposite you see on television, on ads.
You have been duped. You have swallowed the lie, hook, line and sinker and you have been paying the price.
Your life is empty, purposeless, meaningless, and you have nothing to look forward to.
Last night I was pondering, instead of sleeping, 1 what is the behavioral, emotional age of all humans.
I came up with seven. Seven years old.

I have been pondering something that has been really bothering me. I have diagnosed it 90% accurately, but I have no idea how to change it.
And that is the cultural shift towards avoiding work.
I first woke up to it when my favorite teacher, Robert Plank, called it a four letter word, and avoided using it.
The weird and disorienting fact was this: Robert loved getting things done. Actually really loved it. So it was the word, somehow, that appalled him. He lives in California… I thought maybe it had something to do with it.
But since then I realized that it is all over the place.
The media teaches us that work is ugly, or not necessary, or if you are smart you don’t have to work… and today any type of work is included. Even school work…

Needing itI have a student whose company moves earth. That is their business. Parking lots, roads, leveling the ground.
Unless you have a clear picture, a clear and accurate mental representation of what a job entails, you can’t bid successfully on it: you may lose your shirt if your mental representation was off.
The doctor’s mental representation of the state of my injured ear was neither clear nor accurate, and therefore his suggestions to me were way off the mark. This was the topic of this article of mine…

Who or What is calling the shot in your life? Commitment – new thoughts, new experiences
This is a continuation of the c-word article… and the getting ready for a breakthrough article. Read them first or this article won’t make sense completely
As I have written before, the “universe” or the aspect of you that conspires and is in cahoots with the Universe, will put up obstacles in your path, so instead of doing stuff that’s consistent with your commitment, you are now on a detour path: handling your obstacles.
Alex, a friend of mine, is dealing with his server and his websites being hacked… a moment after he made a commitment to growth. So he feels forced to deal with that, instead of following the path he set for himself.

One of my students had a breakthrough on the Monday webinar.
To me it came out of the blue… nothing seemed to be building up to it.
I got intensely curious. After all, when you don’t or can’t acknowledge the “real” source of a breakthrough, then you can’t sustain the result the breakthrough. It looks like divine intervention: you are not causing it, some “entity” does… and all you can do is pray for rain…
