Knowing yourself well is vitally important when you want to interact with reality powerfully.
What’s in the way of you knowing yourself well?
Illusions, delusions, flattery, comparison, arrogance, I could continue this list for a whole page.
So given that so many things are in the way, blocking or distorting your view, how do you get to know yourself?

Just so you know, when I wrote that title I had suddenly a sharp reaction in my gut… Fear…
I’ll spend the rest of the day looking at that… very interesting. The word that set it off was the word ‘everything’… So if you reacted the same way… let’s look together!
Your relationship to money, revealed, will shed light to everything in every area of your life.
But it is harder to see them in other areas of life, while in the area of money it, they are easier to see and catch.
The movie Trading Places was funny but wholly and totally psychologically unfounded… Its authenticity ended just after the scene where the Black dude (played by Eddie Murphy) shoves expensive stuff in his pocket to make them his. That was both believable and authentic.

this is the expression I use to pitch reactive and proactive. Soul knows what you will need down the line, and it will bring it to you. Trust that it will be needed.
Being reactive, trying to invent a solution in the moment is exciting, but it’s always misdirected, and takes your life off purpose.
One of the most important effects the Heaven on Earth activator is expected to accomplish is turn of your reactive nature and turn on your proactive nature.

Kabbalah, like any school of thought, has arguments within it.
I have studied the Kabbalah Centre version of thought, and here is what Rav Berg teaches (from Wikipedia)
Origins of the Universe according to Berg
The light is understood as part of the duality in the “light filled vessel” metaphor central to Berg’s cosmology. In Berg’s telling, the Kabbalistic origin of the universe is in agreement with the Big Bang – prior to a massive explosion, a sacred vessel was united with the light that filled it. The light was the force of creation and the vessel the force of desire/receiving. When the vessel desired to create, the two separated, resulting in void, followed by an explosion which shattered the vessel. These broken shards of vessel and light became the imperfect physical universe.
Said in a more poetic way: In the beginning there was The Light. Its nature was giving, but there was nothing to receive. So The Light created The Vessel, and the vessel was infused with the desire
I don’t really care about the mating habits of water buffalo… but I can’t look away…
I heard that little ditty yesterday on Amazon Prime Video. And I laughed for quite a few minutes.
And I think it describes some people’s relationship to my articles, to my teachings. I think people are fascinated or can’t look away… But that doesn’t mean they care about what I teach. Or doing anything with it.
The rare specimen that does makes it all worthwhile…
I don’t cater to the lowest common denominator… the easily titillated… so I have only a few people who read my articles. When I look at everyone else, TV, Social Media, websites… I see that they do cater to the low… otherwise they would not stay in business, I think.
Everyone blames social media, but the media is just the medium: the low vibration comes from people. And no one takes personal responsibility for their own vibration, for how they see the world, and for how they spread darkness.
And most people do.
a koan is a story, dialogue, question, or statement, which is used in Zen-practice to provoke the “great doubt”, and test a student’s progress in Zen practice.
it doesn’t seem to make sense until you penetrate the meaning, until you penetrate the layers that seeming reality covers up.

Marketing is not sales, although sales is part of marketing.
Marketing, in essence, finding the people that want what you have and presenting them with it. It is the art of connecting people with each other, connecting people with the fulfillment of their needs.
It is more an art than a science, and there is nothing fishy about it.
You want me to have good marketing, you want me to be a good marketer, or you will never find out what you need to do to become the best you you can be.
I am not a naturally good marketer, and I can use any suggestions or help you can provide. I am an introvert, and don’t naturally connect to others, I like to spend time with myself…
If you are a connector, I want you to help me.

When I teach you, do you learn? How would I know?
No preamble, no hello, no niceties: Unless you do life the way I taught you to do it, you didn’t learn.
Unless you understand that the power of knowledge is in what it enables you to do… because only action matters. Only action will get you what you want..

When I talk about the mind, I talk about an aspect of a human, the brain function of gathering, storing, and retrieving information. It is a simple and stupid computer thinking itself as you.
It is stupid, because it has NO FACULTIES to decide if what is being fed to it is true or not, it can only COMPARE what is coming in to what it already stores.
It sets up filters to your perception, hearing, seeing, sensing, to filter out everything it considers not relevant… but it takes its clue for relevancy in what it already stores.
If you decided as a child that you are useless and dumb, it will not allow you to hear anything counter to that, or anything that would need useful and intelligent.
Your mind is not your friend. You need to start control it, and take leadership.
There is the you, the part of you that isn’t judging and isn’t judged. That is what we will consider the Real You. That is the part of you that is the Boss.
And the servants or employees are the body, t
seeking greedily to obtain money at every opportunity…
In terms of Source and laws of money: if someone isn’t giving you the value you are paying for, can be considered money-grubbing.
The question is, of course, in the eye of the buyer: if you are buying “raise your vibration” but you don’t know the first thing about vibration, raising, measuring, everything that makes you feel good, different, everything that is distracting to you, will be good enough.
I have a recommendation to you: stop following the news, stop watching television, and start reading. Good books. Preferably non-fiction. Fiction is a way for you to hide from your life, but the purpose of life is not to hide from but to live your life.
Consider that your life’s purpose, if you want to live a harmonious, interesting, and rewarding life, then your life’s purpose must be in harmony, and must also fulfill the soul’s purpose.
The soul wants you to make the most of yourself while you help it improve itself,
