Life is funny… Funny as in tickles your funny bone. You chuckle.
Anything is about you, says something about you beyond just being what it is and it stops being funny, and life stops being fun.
Thank you to Wendy… one of the people who got the gene adjustment.
These whole issue of checking if I did it right could have been a big ‘not funny, not fun’ experience. Or serious. Or W.O.R.K. of proof that in am conscientious, high integrity, thorough, or whatever the f… people acknowledged for…
But it was 1. a privilege to get to visit with all those people 2. it was funny.
About a year ago I bought into a business coaching program where there are several calls a week with different coaches, and, for the most part, I think it is not a good program. Why?
I have been seeing that the coaches look at the program where their job is to say what they have to say… So when you really look there is a them and us, them and me separation… they are up there, and I am down here… and I have a few jobs: 1. admire them 2. participate if asked so they can sound even more awesome 3. if possible, talk only when what I have to say is ‘I bought this thing from this coach and it is awesome’ like a ‘witnessing’.
And the participants, about a hundred people, only want
‘I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again.‘ — Georgia O’Keeffe.
What she doesn’t know, that if and when you become new, bigger, etc. then you’ll be yourself… but bigger… And in the meantime it won’t be very pleasant to grow. There is an expression: growing pains… and it is true, it is real.
This quote could be your slogan while you go through the brain balancing sequence for the next weeks, months, so you emerge more whole, more complete than you have ever hoped to be.
And you’ll need it.

Do you BELIEVE you have permission to be happy, joyful, successful?
What’s the difference between believing and knowing?
Let me preface that belief is a human word… Source says that what we call belief is really using our word to create a personal reality… So what we call belief is really words considered reality… You’ll see why this is an important distinction in a sec…
If you haven’t read the relationship between reality and personal reality, read some of my older articles… like this one. We call personal reality
Changing your brain: can it change your life? I say it can… Part of it is the Hero program that I also call the GABA program.
WTF, right? What does GABA have to do with anything? It sounds unlikely… even if you know what GABA is… but it does.
There are two important brain centers in this regard: beliefs, convictions, worldview… that unless it changes, unless the beliefs, convictions, worldview can change, your actions and your attitudes will remain the same.
And because your actions are what produce everything that you ever wanted… and if you don’t like what you have produced, then you are sh!t out of luck… a
It’s been stormy here. Lots of rain. The other night a warning went out: a tornado was poised to touch down in Central New York: not a tornado area.
Reality.
Nothing is wrong: as long as reality works the way reality works, all is well… even if it rains on your parade, even if you hate doing your morning walk trudging through mud, even if you are not prepared like I wasn’t.
Your relationship with reality is a love and hate relationship: mostly hate.
A student of mine sent me a link to a youtube video.
I put aside ego and watched it. The video was eye-opening.
It showed how someone’s worldview, value system can be shifted rapidly… within a few months or years. And how dangerous that is.
That the Trump era’s biggest accomplishment was/is that mass murder looks normal, and complimenting a woman on her dress or beauty looks outrageously aggressive, maybe even criminal.

In the famous marshmallow experiment by Walter Mischel. He said that the 30% of the kids that didn’t eat the marshmallow, didn’t even look at the marshmallow. They kept doing other things, keeping their eyes off the marshmallow. Consciously, intentionally, purposefully.
I have read a lot about that experiment, I have even written about it, but I didn’t know that the “winners” avoided loo
I have started the Osho meditation series with Day One.
Lots of talk… very meditative for me. Participants complained that there was no meditation.
When you meditate, that doesn’t mean there is silence outside. The silence is inside. When you meditate it doesn’t mean you cannot listen to someone talk: it only means you listen and hear it, but not through the busy mind, that compares, argues, tries to understand, criticizes and judges. No, the mind simply allows it to be, allows it in, in a meditative state.
It is like when you are in the shower. The mind doesn’t argue with every drop of water… and you can get wet without the mind interfering.
One of the most important pre-requisite to meditation is to KNOW
