enlightenment

enlightenment is a state where you live in your vertical self unphased and unconcerned by the horizontal world. You fully give yourself over to Life, to Growth, to living through your higher self.

The first step to enlightenment is finding your Observer (also called Watcher) and stand in that position. Looking from there, your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions can be observed without getting entangled with them, identifying with them. You can hear and feel everything, but you are not part of it.

The second phase of enlightenment is to give power to your word: your tool of creation. Word from your horizontal self is worthless.

The third phase of enlightenment is to live true to your values, your principles, true to your true self.

This is the dominion of true happiness… and it’s attainable to anyone, with practice and lots of paradigm shifts.

beingness

beingness is created by WORD. Landmark calls it a possibility, but whatever you call it, it was created by word or WORD.

When you are sneaky, entitled, cowardly: that is beingness

When you are generous, caring, loving, that is also beingness.

Beingness is not good or bad… it is either default or created.

I have found that until your conscious WORD creates, you are stuck with your default being, and pretending to be someone other than who you really are… your default being. Resistant, scared, hesitant, arrogant… thousands of beings you want to hide.

attitude

attitude: a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person’s behavior.
“she took a tough attitude toward other people’s indulgences”
synonyms: view, viewpoint, outlook, perspective, stance, standpoint, position, inclination, temper, orientation, approach, reaction; More
opinion, ideas, convictions, feelings, thinking
“you seem ambivalent in your attitude”

a position of the body proper to or implying an action or mental state.
“the boy was standing in an attitude of despair, his chin sunk on his chest”
synonyms: position, posture, pose, stance, bearing
“an attitude of prayer”

Attitude is the same as beingness or being. In Hungarian, attitude equals: your relationship to something, your thinking that you bring to it.

The North American usage of the word is designed to cover up that you always have an attitude, because you always have a relationship to what or who you are dealing with. Attitude is neither good, nor bad, it just is.

You either have an unconscious, default attitude or if you are on a higher level of power and consciousness, you design an attitude that serves you.

I design and re-design my attitude several times a day, if I notice that I become ineffective in my work, in my relationship to people. With practice you can “adjust” your attitude on the fly, really fast.

reticular activator

without going into a scientific paper here, your reticular activator is an aspect of you that takes your serious requests seriously. It makes you see what you are looking for, everywhere… even under a rock, behind a half closed door, behind you.

How? I don’t know, I only know that you need to seriously look at and identify what you want to see…

Don’t set ambitious goals! sounds counter cultural?

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, and purposefully.
The marshmallow is ‘the thing’, the goal people want… and it is what actually causes them to jump the gun, to quit pursuing it prematurely.
I have read a lot about that experiment, I have even written about it, but I didn’t know that the ‘winners’ avoided looking at the marshmallow. that piece was missing for me, until now.

One of the challenges I face with my students and clients is their high desire number, and the Desire Trap…
This discovery I stumbled on, by accident, is the missing piece in helping my students with that challenge.
Watching that TED talk yesterday opened up something inside, that is still full of swirling fog, ethereal figures, and yet, I know that something from the invisible has been released.

I was getting busy going down the rabbit hole about the marshmallow test which is as much of a principle as any principle, although its portability is hard to see…

All principles are portable, just like fractals. That is the nature of reality: as above so is below, or was that the other way around?

If it is true, a real principle, not just a made up rule, it is true everywhere, but to recognize it you need to be able to connect the dots.

Connecting the dots requires you to have a wide cone of vision, so you can compare the two phenomenon in the same glance, or alternatively, have enough long term memory to store an image that you can compare with.

Most people never committed anything to long term memory, and even the capacity for storing something for long term has atrophied.
Another way to look at long term memory is looking an measuring how many things you can hold in your brain at any one time.
For most people (8 billion) that is one thing…

That means that when they change what they look at, what they looked at disappears. So they cannot compare two things that are not inside the same cone of vision.

The size of your long term memory, interestingly, will decide what size box you live in.

It takes me just one short interaction to know that… what you talk about indicates the size of your box.

What’s wrong with a small box, you ask? Nothing WRONG, but it is limiting. You cannot dance, you cannot have adventure, you have locked yourself in with the few people who are probably wretched and no fun.

Your love of animals, interestingly, shows that you are not fulfilled in your small box… But it only indicates, it doesn’t remedy… the size of the box you live in will not grow without serious effort.

Pain.
While I was an architect, my box got smaller… uncomfortable. While I was in Landmark Education, my box got smaller… very limiting.
Breaking out of those small boxes was painful, scary, and

consciousness

you hear everywhere, consciousness this, consciousness that, but it is not clear what consciousness is.

This is not a scientific definition, this, the glossary, this is how I mean consciousness in my articles, in my webinars in my courses.

Consciousness is a combination of what you are aware of, what aspect of you is looking, or aware of what you are aware of, and where you are standing when you are aware.

Therefore consciousness is an in-between and how, instead of a thing.

It could be said that there is lower consciousness and higher consciousness, depending on this relationship between the aware part and the thing of which that part is aware of.

If you are aware with a part of you that is intent on making you look better than you are, obviously we could assess that that is lower consciousness.

The highest consciousness is when the aware part is your Observer, when the relationship is proactive and not reactive, and when you are in a position where you can also see your organizing principle… i.e. the possibility based open being, like I am a winner, I am free, I am the Edison of Transformation.

Example:

the what: people doing what they said they would do, or not
the part that is aware: the mind
the position: the mind

When people do what they said they would do, I would be happy and gratified, but when they don’t, I would be angry and devastated, or self-righteous… horrible feelings.
the what: people doing what they said they would do, or not
the part that is aware: the Observer, the Self
the position: the Observer

Whether people are doing what they said they would do, or not, the Observer, the Self is OK: the invented context: I am the Edison of Transformation considers what’s happening is just what’s happening, and not an evaluation, not a judgment of what I am doing: it is normal for anything to fail, in fact success is a rare exception in every endeavor.

My mood and well being is steady and I am not disempowered by what’s happening.

This is what we call highest consciousness. It is achievable by everyone, but it takes work, building skills, and practicing. It’s worth it.

At any moment you are either growing or you are dying

At any moment you are either growing or you are dying… but how do you go from dying into growing again?
You can plan for survival, and you can plan for growth

The most important difference, from your point of view is this:

When you plan for survival, every setback threatens you with death, or poverty, lack, illness or shame.

When you plan for growth, every setback is a new opportunity to use your skills to now grow from this new level.
