I am very lucky: the questions my students send me have caused me to have a deeper understanding for my own work.
These students are often seeking new insights in their pressing circumstances from me. Lately it is all about making a decision to stay or leave, to let go or to fight.
It is a huge responsibility to talk to people who are looking for answers.

My teacher, Robert Hartman famously said: to know good you need to study evil. To turn your life around, you need to study what keeps you stuck.
As I am gearing up to teach the machine that we call the racket, I am getting emails from participants, people who registered in the workshop.
Those who are smart (not many :-\ ) come prepared. Armed in having witnessed enough of the distinction and the process to be able to recognize it on themselves by buying the Racket Course… have questions.
I am sure the rest of them want me to do all the work, and make them good, pretty, slim, smart, happy, rich… did I leave anything out?
The racket is a machine. It has a trigger that is an on-switch… and it even has an off-switch. Continue reading “You can get unstuck only if you see what keeps you stuck”

Imagine the scenario. The guy gets on one knee, pulls out a little box from his pocket, opens it to show a beautiful ring… and asks: Will you marry me? And the woman answers: I am willing to marry you…
Oops… all the magic is gone.
Or maybe the woman answers: I will commit… When? asks the distraught guy… putting away the ring… weeping inward.
Not romantic, not straightforward… very um, I don’t even have a word for it. Continue reading “You believe many impossible things to get a dopamine rush”

Are you working with what is yours? Or are you vying for what others have?
Politically correct… politically incorrect
These are expressions that people use but have no idea what they mean.
Do not be naive: language and the lack of clarity of what words mean is one of the ways people are kept from becoming powerful.
So let’s consider ‘political’ everything that is about keeping the power in the hands of the few, and the masses in a state where they are sheep but they think they are powerful. Like once every four years they can exercise their immense power to say which bozo will be president.
They have no say in pretty much anything else, or not really. They could vote with their wallets, but they don’t. Continue reading “Politically incorrect or are you working with what is yours?”

How to start using your capacity once you had it turned on?
There are certain abilities, that are controlled by genes, that I don’t have, and I want.
So I have asked Source to turn on for me self-control…
Long term meditating properly turns that gene on… Causes an epigenetic shift. This is what is the reason long time meditators, especially TM, transcendental meditation practitioners can do much better in every area of life.
I paid for TM, back in the year 2000, and hated it. I even read the book, and I just could not do it.
It is the self-control gene that was missing… I am like a wild child… Don’t like to be pinned down, even if it is me who is trying to pin myself down.
But… But as an insomniac, it would help me fall asleep faster. Continue reading “How to start using your capacity once you had it turned on?”

Most people feel stuck. It doesn’t feel good. And they want to be unstuck… but they don’t know how.
Three questions can take you from where you are at now to movement… onto the path to wherever you would like to be.
I have lead a workshop about a hundred times that asked slightly different questions, and it strikes me funny now, that maybe I have been asking the questions that are ‘fixing’ based… not what I wanted.
The old workshop asked:
what’s working
what’s not working?
What are you doing in that area? Who are you being? (attitude) What are you having? (results)
Who would you need to be so what isn’t working can start working, maybe even brilliantly? Continue reading “Three questions to cause you to implement what you learn”

You are supposedly the peak of evolution… and you supposedly have a brilliant tool: your thinking brain. But when you only use it to do mind-functions, remembering and recalling, you use only 1-3% of its power… and you are a slave. Unless you have the courage to learn to use your brain correctly… you’ll remain a slave.
A famous physics professor, one day, was shaking his head.
‘I can’t teach them physics the way I learned physics’ he complained.
I interview students for my graduate program, and they are all, almost all, unable to think for themselves.
When they show up for the interview, I ask them: Why are you wearing the suit jacket you are wearing?

What happened to humanity, starting at the beginning of the 20th Century is a big tragedy.
And success gurus, success writers, motivational speakers, and the whole industry of the Lottery Approach.
The same thing happened in spirituality and in healing. Even religion had been kinder to people… Even religion had robbed them less that this new wave of success literature. Killing Life… for most people. Continue reading “The tragedy that happened to humanity in the last Century”

Soul Correction: Speak Your Mind aka reveal your secret agenda
Update 6/30/2021: upon reflecting on all the #25, that is the numerology number for this soul correction, I am finding that the most dominant aspect is: self hate… and that is what is, maybe, underneath the lying, pretending, making airs, etc.
…Update on 2/15/2014: I had an interesting conversation with a friend, where we were looking for politicians with this soul correction. And as we were working on finding them, I had an insight: the fundamental issue of this soul correction is DUPLICITY.

I just read an article in the Monday Morning Memo and I cringed. It hit me what b.s. is being propagated as wisdom.
As you have seen, if you have been with me for more than a week, you would know that I knock the idea of beliefs being important to your success in life. And after reading Roy Williams article, I am also going to start knocking the notion that the why is what’s important. Continue reading “Who are you? Are you The Dude, or are you your name?”
