Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
From time to time a student or client confides in me that they resent being told what to do.
I find that really funny, especially when they paid me well for telling them what to do.
But such is human nature… or is that human nature?
This question is what this article is about. How do you know it is you and not some addon making your decisions for you? Continue reading “Who and what is making your decisions, your attitude, your behavior?”
It’s Tuesday, and my Rob Brezsny horoscope arrived this morning.
It addressed something I wanted to address, because it is important: treating yourself well by providing yourself with what you need to be well, to do well, to feel well.
You treat your pets better than yourself.
If you were only judgmental and stingy with others, that would be one thing. But you are stingy with yourself.
You judge yourself harshly, you treat yourself badly, and you skimp on yourself first.
Consider yourself your own child, or your own pet? And your relationship, your treatment of it public.
A lot of people, in private, abuse with impunity, but would not dare do the same in public, or when someone can see it. They fear judgment. Continue reading “Is happiness even possible? Is self-hate, self-punishing a good path to it?”
I just watched/listened to two Osho talks… And suddenly I realized what I have never seen: why Osho’s vibration is not higher. It dropped from 300 to 280… as more of reality gets revealed, everyone’s vibration gets lower. Seneca’s vibration today is 300, but when he was alive, it was around 800.
So Osho died 25 years ago, give or take, and his vibration, consequently dropped.
OK… so what’s wrong with Osho? After all it is so soothing, so wonderful to listen to him. he is so right!
That is what’s wrong with Osho. Continue reading “What’s wrong with Osho? Why is his vibration so low?”
The connection between the number of words you can correctly use in writing or in speaking and your intelligence, your worth a damn factor, and your deserving the good life… or not.
I am a reader. I read a lot. But yet, a whole new world opened up for me when I started to read on the Kindle. Why? Because it has a built in dictionary. As a result, I have added, to date, 2,000 words to my vocabulary.
It was very cumbersome to read with a dictionary before… I would lose my place, etc.
But the Kindle has made it possible.
I find the word… but sometimes the word in the dictionary is not useful. Continue reading “The connection between your vocabulary and your deserving factor”
In my quest to find like-minded people, who want to better humanity, I am watching videos, and am exposed the feelings of the speaker, commentator, or whoever is in the video.
What prompted this article is a bout of weeping… for no reason.
I am sitting here examining the context inside which this happened, and I Have had no reason to be sad, to weep. Continue reading “What is the purpose of life? how to live it on Life’s terms?”
I watched a ton of youtube clips this weekend, and some movies…
One could ask: why on Earth should I violate my own rules: no skimming.
But… here is a kicker: it is not what you do, it is how you do it. And what you do with what you did.
I am not a skimmer. I did not watch movies and videos to escape from myself.
Watching those videos was work.
Just like the 67 steps, your job is to cover the 360 degrees of life, and look under the hood. Under the obvious. Under the surface

For the first time in who knows how long, how many years, I have nothing to write.
One could say “writer’s block”… but I would not know. I have never had that…
Except…
So I am looking. When I have nothing to say… and that is unusual, what happened that is also unusual?
Did you see how I formulated the question?
Your ticket to get out of anything, to innovate yourself out of a problem is the question. Or questions…
So that question did direct my attention to something I’ve been doing that is also unusual.

Today’s “What’s the truth about you?” workshop is the first experiment to get to beingness through feelings.
The challenge, for the participant, is to accurately feel their feelings, and maybe even what the feeling wants them to do, the inner dynamics.
My experience is that despite what everyone teaches, you cannot get to what you want through words. But you can get to what you want through the feelings level and the through feelings level to the beingness level: the creative plane.
If the “Law of Attraction” or the “Law of Similars” has any water to hold, if being in energetic alignment with what you want does actually allow you to go for it, having, use it, keep it, then this is the most important skill you want to develop.

“To put the spring back into the old mattress” 1
I heard that expression yesterday in a movie, and loved it. I wrote it down. Because that is what our work is about. Putting the spring back into the old mattress…
It could be said about you.
I remember I was, even though I had bad things happen to me.
And then, slowly, gradually, the inner turmoil, the inner misery set in, and now the misery is there, most of the time.
You may even have periods when it feels like someone or something is trying to annihilate you. You think it’s a psychic attach. And it is… except that it isn’t coming from the outside.
It is a part of you that attacks another part of you. Continue reading “To put the spring back into the old mattress”
As we saw, the two capacities, humility: (saying: I don’t know), and seeing the big picture/looking at the thing inside the big picture, are the most predictive of people who can and will correct their faulty mental picture of reality.
Of these humility is primary.
Humility is what gets us out of our head, and makes us look again.
The mood of this: maybe I didn’t see it right!
We all know people who didn’t look twice, and walked into a trap, walked into disaster with their heads high, no idea that the trap is there.
And how you do anything is how you do everything. So if that is you: it is all over the place for you, in every area of your life.
