Fear…
What is in your way of getting to abundance, to a life worth living? 1
People, normally, want some miracle potion, lotion, energy treatment, belief erasure, mind movies, vision boards, and many other things that they hope will give them abundance.
Or they are waiting to feel like doing something, maybe courage?

I go shopping for food once every two weeks. I have a shopping list of 15 items, of which 10 are there every time… never changing.
But every time I shop I sneak in something different, eat it and get sick for a day or two or three. That is my indulgence for that two week period.
It makes me feel free.
I am from Hungary. I like spicy sausage. There is a famous sausage in Hungary, Gyulai kolbász. Chorizo is similar, but not the same. So I have been buying that or Andouille sausage made by Dartagnan.
Obviously the sausage is made of pork meat and pork fat.
I am Jewish.
So today I asked the question:
I know, I know… but this question opened a veritable can of worms.

I just spent almost four whole days and whole nights in bed, in and out of sleep.
It was new to me to think of myself first, and of ‘duty’ second.
But I have learned, the hard way, that if I don’t take care of myself, I may be dead sooner than I’d like.
Actually it wasn’t hard to stay in bed. This was for me like a vacation. I vacated my mind. Trial death. Nice.
Until last night… that is. when my mind kicked in and instead of letting me sleep, I was writing articles in my head. Continue reading “Musings. Thoughts that an unplanned ‘vacation’ gave me”
Intellectually slothful
We, humans, talks a lot about IQ. And genes. And intelligent and not intelligent.
I assert that we don’t know what we are talking about. Your IQ has little to do with the quality of your life.
We don’t discern cause and effect… and this is only just one area where we don’t. 2
OK, so back to intellectually slothful… I expect to lose 99% of you here… Continue reading “Intellectually slothful. It’s not that you are not smart…”
Stressed? Always busy? Always in a hurry?
These are all signs of you living on the competitive plane, the horizontal, the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
I have a book that I can see from my bed. It is called “The Life You Were Born To Live”
The title immediately creates desire and hurry
But the “You Were Born To Live” creates calmness and a quiet awareness. No hurry. No place to go. Just live.
Two words changed. Continue reading “Already too busy? Stressed? Always busy? Always in a hurry? Trying to start a new project?”
If you are a student and you pick and choose what to read, you’ll end up with an incomplete knowledge of what I teach.
It’s like learning some letters of the alphabet, and not the others…
If that is you, please examine your reasons of being on this site, and start telling the truth: you are not here to become all you can become, you are here to consume.
What do I mean?
The world has two types of people, the producers and the consumers. This is obviously just one way to look at people, but it is a very interesting angle, you’ll see. Because their behavior, their principles, their mindset is very different. Continue reading “You want money? Are you a producer or are you a consumer?”
If I asked you: how much of my articles you actually get… What would you say?
Experiments and tests show that if you have the right attitude, high level of interest, and you are coherent: you can receive as much as 7% of what is being said. Word based communication.
Re-listening or re-reading the same thing won’t improve the percentage much. Why? Because what you think is there replaces, effectively, what you hear or read the second time.
This is what is normal.

Wallace D. Wattles said that. One Hundred years ago. 3
Of course he was mistaken in 70% of what he said; your thoughts do not create, etc. and yet. The 30% is worth its weight in gold.
I have been practicing being on the creative plane: no hurry, no competition, no scarcity, you can’t miss anything… Not easy to stay on it… wasn’t even easy to “climb” on it.
It’s been the best thing ever happened to my life.
I see it even clearer by observing my students who are always in a hurry.
Tai has this “patient-impatient” and “impatient-patient” going, and I have to admit that it goes right over my head… just like his PACE categories… but I completely get that if you start anything with the idea that it is going be fast, that it is going to be easy, you are going to make mistakes, and you are going to run out of steam.

One of the invaluable benefits I gained from the 67 steps is the idea to consider getting tired in the noonish hours a signal that it is time to lie down and read.
This midday break disrupts the societal pull to do the useful, the purposeful, the goal-oriented stuff… that makes us dull, dutiful, and lopsided… boring.
I have a timer that turns on the light in my bedroom at 5:30 am and then turns it off at 7 am. I wake up and get up during that time. Why such range? Why don’t I use a sound alarm that scares the light out of me?

Why were you happy as a child and what you lost that you could regain?
Children live for the now moment, until they get corrupted by their parents.
They do what they do NOT in order to get something else, not in order to get it over with, to get to the promised land…
Christmas and vegetables are the first means to destroy joy in children.
How many days till Christmas makes the days till Christmas something to get through, so the real thing, Christmas can come along.
And eating your vegetables so you can get to the promised land of dessert… You are doing that to your children… you are doing that to yourself. Other examples: get good grades so you can get into a good school… Study to get good grades… Study so you can dazzle by having the right answers… Recognize yourself?
