Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
Unless you’re winning, most of life will seem hideously unfair to you.
he truth is, life is just playing by different rules.
The real rules are there. They actually make sense. But they’re a bit more complicated, and a lot less comfortable, which is why most people never manage to learn them.
Let’s try.
THE ANCIENTS SAID:
“(SELF-)CULTIVATION TAKES AN UNIMAGINABLE TIME (WHILE) ENLIGHTENMENT IN AN INSTANT IS ATTAINED.”
IF THE TRAINING IS EFFICIENT, ENLIGHTENMENT WILL BE ATTAINED IN ONE FINGERSNAP.
IN DAYS GONE BY CH’AN MASTER HUI CHUEH OF LANG YEH MOUNTAIN, HAD A DISCIPLE WHO CALLED ON HIM FOR INSTRUCTION. THE MASTER TAUGHT HER TO EXAMINE INTO THE SENTENCE: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”
SHE FOLLOWED HIS INSTRUCTION STRICTLY WITHOUT BACKSLIDING.
ONE DAY HER HOUSE CAUGHT FIRE, BUT SHE SAID: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”
ANOTHER DAY, HER SON FELL INTO THE WATER AND WHEN A BYSTANDER CALLED HER, SHE SAID: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”
SHE OBSERVED EXACTLY HER MASTER’S INSTRUCTION BY LAYING DOWN ALL CASUAL THOUGHTS.

My dominant emotion is frustration.
Of course frustration lacks humility… frustration is when you are trying to force your will on reality.
things take as long as they do, people do whatever they do, and you’ll screw up, like everybody else.
But, of course, my soul correction is Forget Thyself… meaning allow life to unfold.
That, allowing anything, is the hardest thing for a human… And allowing and yet feeling powerful is even rarer.
We want to make things happen, rush things along, push, pull… and yell in frustration.

Why removing money blocks, negative beliefs and other stuff won’t help you
I get a lot of “hits” from people looking for Christie Marie Sheldon, or Natalie Ledwell… but they are not the only gurus who fatten themselves from your cluelessness.
Removing money blocks, negative beliefs and other stuff won’t help you, neither will fanning your desire… On the contrary.
I’ll explain: I will start with examples from my work.
Please know that the Universe is holographic, and principles are principles, because they works across seemingly disparate, different domains.
Everything you know is in the way of you being able to act powerfullyThat wasn’t the exact expression… I said: “Everything you know is in your way of being creative…”
I said this to the first person I coached in the United States. It was 1986, and she volunteered to be my ride to and from Landmark Education… of course at the time it was called Werner Erhard and Associates.
She worked as a sales person in her parents’ Janitorial supply company, selling toilet paper and such. She had an aspiration to become an artist. Continue reading “Your worth a damn factor. Knowledge? Is yours worth a damn?”
When you were a little kid, the whole world looked quite magical. Food appeared out of nothing, people did big things, cakes, birthday gifts, all kinds of big things came out of nothing.
The child thinks that this is the nature of reality: big things from nothing.
No wonder the magical thinking modalities, like manifestation and “law of attraction” are so popular: most of you never changed your worldview: you still think that the nature of reality is to jump from one state to the other, create something from nothing…
This was also the secret of Sai Baba, whose whole fame and fortune came from his ability to do sleight of hand magic tricks. Millions fell for it.
But this is not how it happens in nature.
Actually change in nature is based on microscopic changes… 90% of them in the invisible domain, below the earth, inside the cells, where you can’t see it, can’t track it.

The title could be said differently as well: You are a survival machine. You are put together for the survival of your genes. (Richard Dawkins: the selfish gene theory). You have hundreds, maybe thousands of genes. Each gene is a code, and the genes are strung together on your DNA. Some genes are recessive, or dormant, but can be turned on by your behavior, by your thinking, or by an energy person, like me. 1
These genes put together, each concerned only about its own survival is your DNA, and we could say that the machine is what we call the ego. Of course it is not a good way to put it, but at least you are cursorily familiar with the phenomenon of ego.
Ego wants to survive the genes.
And it deals with what it needs to deal with to be successful at it.
The mind interferes with the machine, culture interferes with the machine, religion interferes with the machine. All your misery comes from this interference and how you choose to deal with it.

I had an insight this morning. This article may be the most important article I have ever written. And 99.99% % of you will ignore it… even if you read it three times. And I bet, you won’t even bother to read the footnotes… Must be not important you say, and you are right… about everything.
The world belongs to the changeable. The flexible. The one that can adjust, and go with the punches. This is what’s been missing… or at the minimum, without this you can’t change.
You know, if you know me that I have been harping on the color exercise. Simple exercise, everyone gets it right in minutes… except.
What people are not getting is this: It is training. Like wax on wax of in Karate kid. Doesn’t have anything to do with colors.
You know by now that I am dyslexic… very dyslexic.

If you are here, reading this blog, you have a complaint about life… something you’d like to fix. Even if you are pretending that you are “just” curious… all humans living on Planet Earth have something they don’t like and they’d like to fix it.
That is the first inclination of everyone. You have an itch: scratch it. Have a problem? Find a solution.
Solution is a code word for fixing.
But we all face a problem, like the dog who scratched his skin so now it is raw and is going to get infected.
The solution is the next problem, usually bigger than the original problem.
So what can you do?
If Tai Lopez is any indication, Sir Richard Branson said: “Innovate yourself out of the problem”.

Learned Helplessness: 50% of humanity is a wuss, a sissy… a cry-baby. In 1945 it was 7%… In Jesus’ time it was 1%
Learned helplessness, this is today’s topic. The opposite of ‘Bring it on…!’ Your life depends on which is your dominant attitude.
Which attitude will get you what you want?
No contest, I hope, learned helplessness will get you more of the same.
50% of the world’s population behaves like they can’t handle it. It is learned helplessness… it is not innate. But it feels innate…
But it is, in reality, a reflex built and initiated by parents, religion, school, and politics.
The ‘I can’t handle it’ reflex, like Pavlov’s dog salivating at the sound of the bell, whether there is food there or not, gets activated by anything society deems ugly or bad.
