I have a wide cone of vision (I see the big picture) in most issues regarding “the economy.” Maybe because both my parents were economists? Who knows.
But having a wide cone of vision, especially in this arena, has its advantages.
People call me to find out, if their personal experience is indicative of a personal issue, or if it just feels that way.

Giving permission to yourself to feel what you REALLY feel is strong medicine
We live in a “fix-it” culture. Doctors, chiropractors, coaches, husbands, parents (especially mothers) are all about fixing what’s wrong with you. No wonder that you relate to everything that is going on with you as something to fix.
What is part of the “fix-it” culture, and is hidden behind it, but gives it the context, is that what is going on is INTOLERABLE, and MUST BE FIXED.
It feels like an imperative… like a straightjacket.
What is the problem with fixing stuff?
Let’s look at the action of fixing from a different point of view: what is your cone of vision when you are looking to fix something?
Narrow.

99% of humanity looks at the world, at what’s happening, at everything as an Effect does.
You can be Cause in life and you can be Effect.
You can’t even begin raising your vibration until you become, at least partially, Cause in your life, Cause of everything.

Summary: This is a complement piece to the previous article about letting go.
This article goes more below the surface, more below the obvious… so you cannot keep it on the level of the society approved level of inane…
Is the quote in the title a true guidance statement, or is it one of those “sounds good” mind-numbing nothings perfectly suitable for the Facebook pretentious crowd?

There are two categories of gurus:
I will address only the first group throughout this article… why bother writing about the ones that have nothing and had nothing… ever.
Now, if you had something of value to offer: why would you live in hell? Especially if the “product” you sell is how to happy, how to be prosperous, how to be connected, well, blah blah blah.

I have been puzzled by the experience from students’ huge emotional response to
When I asked them what the feeling was, ultimately the answer was: they were afraid to say the wrong thing. They were afraid of me.
It didn’t make sense to me. As a coach I want you to get on the call and have something that you are wrong or stupid about: that is what coaching is: if you are already great, what is the sense of getting coaching? Yeah, but…

OK, you are connected. You’ve been connecting every day… now what? Are you done? Is this all you need to do to become an Enlightened Being?
What did this connection do to you, what did this connection do for you?
Was it a magic bullet, like a modified Law of Attraction? Maybe a magic wand? The secret “Open Sesame” command?

Awesome, matchless taste! When you drink it, the water slides down the throat easily and leaves a sweetish after-taste in the mouth. And you want more and more of it… My husband tasted it too and said: It’s pure water!
Also, I feel light, tiny tingling along my spine and in the fingertips each time I drink it. I used it for everything: tea, coffee, soup, washing the vegetables, even for rinsing my hair – it gets nice shine.
Did an experiment with a cabbage: I cut slightly its root, put it in a zip-lock bag, poured some of the energized water on it, put it in the fridge and after a while it became more crispy and less stringy…
Great work, teacher!
Thank you,

One excellent use of Rob Brezsny’s weekly horoscopes is to set a context for the week. The context that he recommends is always outside of the ordinary for you, and therefore it will have the potential to dig into the beyond, where all the power you lack and want comes from.
This is my horoscope for this week…
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “This morning I walked to the place where the street-cleaners dump the rubbish,” wrote painter Vincent van Gogh in one his letters. “My God, it was beautiful.” Was he being ironic or sarcastic? Not at all. He was sincere. As an artist, he had trained himself to be intrigued by scenes that other people dismissed as ugly or irrelevant. His sense of wonder was fully awake. He could find meaning and even enchantment anywhere. Your next assignment, Virgo — should you choose to accept it — is to experiment with seeing the world as van Gogh did.
Now, how do you use a horoscope as a context of your life? Remember, this whole month will probably be about context…
Your key to this context are the sentences: “His sense of wonder was fully awake. He could find meaning and even enchantment anywhere”

The following writing comes from Rob Brezsny, syndicated horoscope writer, whatever they are called, and a writer.
I am re-publishing this piece that arrived to my email box this morning, because you need to look at the stuff that happens to you with different eyes.
One of my students had a run-in with some deer and a tree… her car got badly damaged. This, in addition to a lot of inner turmoil, this could have waken her up. But instead she is busy worrying about fixing the car, feeling guilty. you know the “drill”, being in her head. The whole drama.
If she could consider this as Life’s healing shock, using Rob Brezsny’s expression, she could be sent into all directions: all revealing a bigger picture than her puny two dimensional view of life.
We, you and me, are all guilty of that. We all “pray” for life to either be smooth, meaning stay the same, or something better. Our actions are consistent with stalling…
