A Brave New World… can you take it? Or the real reason why you have inner stress?
This is a republished article from June 26, 2013… So please don’t get alarmed… this didn’t just happen. It happened long time ago. But the message is as timely as ever…
What is the opposite of reaction; is it response? Is it pro-active? Prepare to be surprised…
Gurus and even psychologists give lip service to not being reactive. They say it’s the ego’s way to take over your life. They suggest that you respond. They don’t know what they are talking about, and you, the client, suffer as a result.
I wonder if you ever pondered where nightmares like most Doctor Who stories are, come from?
My hunch is that they come from reality.
Take the story where humans, one by one, by touch, are turned into human-size grinning or weeping toys. And now that they are toys with no will of their own, the only will they have is to turn other humans into toys like themselves.
When I look around I see plenty of proof of this nightmare being real.
Lots of people, women and men, have a feeling that they are just placeholders or commodities for their friends or lovers.
Even coaches and gurus can have that feeling: actually this is what lead me to start this article.
Whenever I have a question about someone, or have time, I look up the online profiles of people that want to become a student of mine.
So I looked up someone today who has been a student, on and off for about two years now. I have had mixed feeling about her, so I looked her up.
Cats are notoriously individualistic, and abhor being herded, or even told what to do.
Your (and) my aspects are like cats: enjoying and protecting their freedoms you have given them all these years, that you thought they were the boss. Your boss.
I am talking here of the aspects of your mind, your emotions, your thoughts, and your urges.
If I asked you what will be the most important capacity to master in the coming years, you would come up with all kinds of capacities, but I bet you would not think of saying: becoming astute.
If you go to the online dictionary, like one of my students did, the one for whom I made this activators, you would not understand why that capacity is important.
Here is what the dictionary has to say:
as·tute
/??st(y)o?ot/
Adjective
Having or showing an ability to accurately assess situations or people and turn this to one’s advantage: “an astute businessman”.
Synonyms
shrewd – sly – wily – crafty – canny – artful – sharp
To understand the meaning better, you look at the synonyms, and you are appalled, am I right? They are all words usually used to express one kind of deception or another.
But the meaning is only the first few words, the rest of them is added by “culture”: “Ha
I have been pondering a student’s email all morning. ((I woke up today with a real distinction between ‘me’ and ‘my machine’. It is so coo! I can actually feel the two different states of being. Thanks Sophie!
This is so cool I just had to share it with you. It gives me a real sense of how I can relate to my machine differently. Here’s hoping I can stay in this state of awareness as the day progresses. For the rest of my life is preferable!! For the rest of my life is my goal. 🙂
Wow, my poor little machine! Doing so much of my work. Let’s see how I do in directing her instead of her trying to do something she is not capable of doing effectively, and something she is not equipped to do. )) And when I ponder, I do it while I do other things.

I think I have finally hit the magic button. I am starting to drop weight without trying
As you know my history: I was skinny til age 10
I was normal till age 16
I was fat till age 24
I was skinny till age 38

The last few years I would have to tell you, month to month… I was trying hard for a few years… lol
I am now on the highest side of normal, close to fat. Fully clothed I now weigh 143 lbs.
When I looked back, and believe me, I spent a lot of time looking from many different vantage points, I found the following:
