Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
I am watching Person of Interest for the second time on Netflix. I argue, I get angry, hateful, steaming… I criticize, a am sad, depressed, in total reaction mode.
I am watching the “bad guy” calm, collected, emotionless, calculated, for years working patiently and methodically towards the success of the Dark Side.
Hm, the good side is losing, and the dark side us unstoppable.
And then I see it.

Learned helplessness is a technical term coined by Dr. Martin Seligman.
I don’t want to spend time with what he means by that, and how he came to discover this phenomenon… you can google it if you want to know.
If you are in the 67 steps, it’s step 7…
What I want to focus on here is the place where you won’t look: today… Where you locked yourself into a small box.
So, how do you find the areas where you have learned helplessness limiting your life, the dance floor, the ability to accomplish?

I am reading Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene. The genes that use humans as vehicles, and are only interested in procreation, and not in the life experience of the vehicle.
But, as I have said before, there are 160 intangible capacities, mostly dormant, in the human DNA. The ones that we are going to look at in this article are the capacities (genes) of generosity (altruism) and trust.
Trust and generosity seem to be at odds with the selfishness of the genes… but they don’t have to be.
Envy is at odds with trust and generosity, because envy means: desire to receive for the self alone… i.e. wanting the other to lose more than wanting to win. Considering the other losing as a win for you. Considering the other’s misfortune, suffering, pain, as a win for you.
According to Kabbalah, that is the only evil there is. I see it clearly.

I have said before: What you see is the most important element in your life. In this article you’ll see, that what you see is also directed by where you are looking…
You can look at one thing or you can look at another ting… and your actions will be sharply different.
For completeness sake, where you are looking from is also an important factor… where the ‘where’ is not a place, it’s an attitude, expectation, or an already knowing. Continue reading “What can my recent anger teach you? Let’s look…”
People who say the whole truth was revealed to them are lying. Even if their name was Moses…
The nature of “revelation” is that you get a glimpse beyond the veil, then the veil closes.
People who talk about “grand” revelations are filling in the gaps in sight and memory with their imagination, that is why most things you read have a very low truth value. 1%-10%… very few over 20%.
So what is the process that allows revelation to create a system of higher truth value?
My experience has been that experimentation, using the fresh and dramatic information as a starting point, you start to poke the edges of the unknown and get little bits of new information. Thus you enlarged the “hole” but not with your imagination, but with truth.
This is my method. It takes time, it takes creativity, it takes all I’ve got. And it takes willing participants who are willing for me to experiment with them.

This may just be a legend… Yet, legends can teach…
Marco Polo was an Italian man who arrived into the Great Khan’s court. The Great Khan asked him and his two companions about the desert they had to cross to get to his court.
The two older men had little to say. Marco Polo, on the other hand, had a lot to say.
The two older men were banished, Marco Polo was given the role of advisor.
Why?
WTF, right? What does that mean?

The best present I can give you is this
“Now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good,” says a character in John Steinbeck’s novel *East of Eden.* I suggest that you make this your rallying cry. In fact, why not begin right now, wherever you are? Say “Now that I don’t have to be perfect, I can be good.” Free yourself of the pressure to be the polished, ultimate embodiment of everything you’d ever hoped you would be. That will allow you to relax into being more content with the intriguing creation you have already become. You may be surprised by how much mojo this affords you.

Nobody likes to be wrong. Nobody likes to strike out.
But real world examples show that winners are wrong a lot, and winners, champions, strike out a lot.
One of my spiritual practices is to strengthen my invented self: “I am someone who can.”
My soul correction is that I know everything… what that covers up is that I believe I can’t…
So the other spiritual practice is to strengthen my invented self: “I don’t know.”
Of course, when you don’t know, the MIND thinks that you also can’t. The other jump the mind makes is that when you make a mistake, when you make a wrong turn, when you strike out, then it means that you can’t…
For my soul correction everything wants to mean: I can’t.

Most people start pretty much anything with the idea of what they want. That is the starting point, that is also, most of the time, the context.
But it is a default context, not empowering.
I said it this way in another article a year ago:
disempower is the opposite of empower. Empower means: allow and suggest that they have the power. Provide them with what they need to have the power.
Disempower is taking away what you already have.What people consider as negative self-talk or negativity is in essence disempowering talk. You have the power, innately, to do the things that your heart says you can do.
You are never given a desire that you are not equipped to fulfill… so in essence, if you don’t fulfill on your desires, it means that either your self-talk or the talk of another disempowered you: you allowed some talk to convince you that you can’t and that you should not even go for it.
Of course, in the past year I have had a lot of insights that make the LANGUAGE of that article lying, but the fact remains: words cause beingness. Self-talk causes beingness… except when it is forced on the top of some fundamental self-talk that is largely unconscious.
If you are the alpha and the omega of things, if everything is about you, then you are going to be wretched. Or if you already are, you are going to stay that way.
I looked at what the context inside which I have done what I have done the past two months, and I found this: “I want to do what I want to do, and I want to continue doing what I want to do, whatever that is… without interruption. Without having to do anything for it.”
And, obviously, my starting point to increasing revenues is the same… I just want to do…
