Someone with a critical eye will offer you some unsolicited advice today, and you should not be afraid to hear them out. Their reputation for painful honesty should be no excuse — your feelings don’t matter when real knowledge is out there to be learned.

Soul Correction: Sharing the light. (23)A single candle, though its light is weak, banishes darkness. But it needs to be lit.
When you hide your light under a bushel basket so no one can see it: you are doing no one a service, including yourself.
Your job is to share your light, and trust that your single light will light up the life of all you touch.

Learning is humbling. Especially humbling is learning about yourself, and learning about your need to change.
You have a Precious I. Whether you believe it or not, whether you know it or not, the precious I is in every single person.
And your precious I wants to have and retain the self-image unchanged, the self-image that says you know everything. That you are the center of the Universe. You are special. And it wants to keep the self-image where it is superior. Where you are, therefore, OK. Continue reading “Why do you need humility to learn anything? Skills, habits”

Why the soul correction workshop isn’t for you?
The workshop is starting today.
As I am preparing, emotionally, for the course, and the challenge to crack some hard nuts, difficult issues on the call, I have amped up my awareness, and I am starting to see stuff that I could not see before.
Now, in every interaction, the background intention I have: can I take someone all the way to SEEING soberly and clearly what the correction is, based on what I see in that conversation? Continue reading “The Evil Eye and the soul correction workshop”
There are two ways to live. Blindly or consciously. Two ways to relate to things: cowardly or bravely.
The brave inherits the earth and whatever it has to offer… In this Bible context inheriting means: enjoying. Benefiting. Emotionally, spiritually, and maybe even materially as well.
But how do you know that you are cowardly? Continue reading “Two ways to live… and, of course everything in between”

In this article I take you through a whole range of emotions to get to a clearing. Just like taking you through a dense forest… But there is a pot of gold in the forest’s clearing… so it is worth wading your way through, I promise.
If you play by the rules you lose
Very interesting observation: British writers, also British films are honest about corruption, about people talking about the rules but not keeping them.
So today I am going to talk about something I have never talked about… In fact I have never thought.

The most important questions to ask: what, how, why, when, who not… What not to do, how not to do/be, why not, when not, who not, what not to pay attention to. What’s not important. Which teachings are b.s. and a good idea to invalidate or just ignore. The no-list.
Without those questions asked in that particular way, that unusual way, your life cannot be like an arrow, cannot have a punch, cannot have a purpose. Continue reading “The most important questions: what, how, why, when, who not”

Yesterday I wrote about the destabilizing energy of avoiding, fighting, resisting. The enemies of having a good life, having a productive life. The enemies of being able to concentrate your energies on what you are working on.
There is a whole other type of energy that works the opposite way… the urges and the cravings. Continue reading “The other destabilizing energy: the energy of the urges”

I have a disproportionately large number of people asking for their numbers, whose soul correction is ‘Sexual Energy’
I could ponder why the Kabbalists named the soul correction that… but instead of that I’ll say:
meaning whatever your attitude to one thing in life, will be visible in every area of life, including sex. Continue reading “Your Soul Correction prevents you from a life worth living?”

The best symbol of restriction is the chimney. And Forrest Gump
They are, I say, the symbol for growth… Only one way… up.
There are nations like a lake, a stream, a river, a puddle, and nations like a chimney. Most nations devolve into a puddle-like environment for the individual. No growth inspired, no growth encouraged, no growth praised.
So if life, what is ‘normal’, the expectations don’t restrict your activities, behaviors, then how can you reach excellence? Continue reading “A symbol of restriction is a chimney. And Forrest Gump”
