There is a myth humans hold onto, that if they stay angry and something or someone, then they are better people than who
they are angry at.
All pretense… which is bad in and of itself, but there is more…
When you are mad at something you did, or mad at someone who did something you recognize… then you are hooked.
Hooked in that angry mode of existence.
Locked in the anger, locked out of freedom, future, happiness.
As long as you hold onto that anger.
I think it may be useful to di
Another book written by Malcolm Gladwell deals with the deficit, the weakness of a person, that becomes the catalyst for them to become the best.
Of course, this is not automatic.
99% of dyslexics can’t read or write well, and are left behind in society.
But a disproportionately large percentage of exceptionally successful people are dyslexic.
99% of dyslexics are kinesthetic learners, perceive the world kinestheticly. It is another hindrance, being
Imagine having to find your way through a maze without seeing past the tiny circle a flashlight can illuminate?
“Luckily” you only have to look at your life. Your health, your money, your love life.
You ARE living your life, a veritable maze, by the light of a flashlight.
You read an article here… yay, I see may way. A sound bite there… yay, I see now… But it is still the tiny flashlight method: you don’t see the big picture, you don’t see your way to the good life.
Seeing the full picture, the big pictu
Unless you’re winning, most of life will seem hideously unfair to you.
he truth is, life is just playing by different rules.
The real rules are there. They actually make sense. But they’re a bit more complicated, and a lot less comfortable, which is why most people never manage to learn them.
Let’s try.
THE ANCIENTS SAID:
“(SELF-)CULTIVATION TAKES AN UNIMAGINABLE TIME (WHILE) ENLIGHTENMENT IN AN INSTANT IS ATTAINED.”
IF THE TRAINING IS EFFICIENT, ENLIGHTENMENT WILL BE ATTAINED IN ONE FINGERSNAP.
IN DAYS GONE BY CH’AN MASTER HUI CHUEH OF LANG YEH MOUNTAIN, HAD A DISCIPLE WHO CALLED ON HIM FOR INSTRUCTION. THE MASTER TAUGHT HER TO EXAMINE INTO THE SENTENCE: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”
SHE FOLLOWED HIS INSTRUCTION STRICTLY WITHOUT BACKSLIDING.
ONE DAY HER HOUSE CAUGHT FIRE, BUT SHE SAID: “TAKE NO NOTICE.”
ANOTHER DAY, HER SON FELL INTO THE WATER AND WHEN A BYSTANDER CALLED HER, SHE
I am not fond of campaigners. I am not fond of activists.
A few months ago I was lead to Robert Ingersoll, and I read his many books… I was interested, because I never thought, never learned, never experienced religion, especially not Christianity and its many sects.
I thought the idea of religion very outdated.
Then today I looked up Richard Dawkins, because I heard about him from Tai Lopez, and heard that 40% of the people surveyed in the US believe that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.
I got sick to my
I had today, being Sunday, my Sunday call, the one I’ve had for 9 years now.
We’ve spoken about a lot of things. One of them will be of special relevance to you.
That is, why people want to change.
It all came out of both of us watching the first few sessions of the 67 steps, excellent, by the way. But what’s most interesting is that what he is getting out of it, and what I am getting out of those sessions, the 67 steps, are so different: it is hard to be
Did you know that every revolution has been, historically, just a re-shuffling of who is going to have power over who?
When I first read Osho’s book, Rebellion, Revolution and Religiousness, I actively worked on understanding.
In Hungary we learned a lot more history than American students, and I personally have seen revolution, and reform and all that never changed anything on the long run.
A lot of people repeat Osho’s words: he is very eas
Can you listen to insults to your family, your god, your country and be unphased?
Can you watch death and grieving and be unphased?
I am unphased 91% of the time. Very few things pull me out of the equilibrium, where I need to recover so I can return to being well and unphased. All of them I self-created, none of them are real.
I cry a lot. I feel people’s grief, I feel centuries old sadness, I feel the pain of not being allowed to grow, or even to live.
I am re-reading an book about the story of a family, the Levis, through 800 years
