I am reading a thought provoking book… There it is again, the language distortion.
No, the book is triggering thinking about it, it triggered for me real thinking… not thoughts.
I stayed up three hours later than usual to have the time to think.

The Opponent is a kabbalistic concept personifying an inner force to keep you the same, to challenge you, and to make you take the lower path in life. It is easier to fight a “person” because you can talk to them. It is a very useful concept, if you want to grow, and raise your vibration.

Back in 1986 there was a seminar series, lead by no other than Werner Erhard.
I was brand new, but I was allowed to sign up. The topic was: “I have something to say in the matter”.
At the time my level of understanding was that I can change what I do, I can protest to what other people do… I did not understand that you can say something in the matter of everything that belongs to you.
Everything that belongs to you… out of which the most potent is your being. Who are you in the matter of X.
So, how does this being expresses itself, really?

Becoming is a growth mindset concept that says: you can change from where or who you are to bigger, better, higher…

It’s not communism or socialism that is the enemy of freedom and prosperity. It is authoritarian systems.
Authoritarianism=my way of the highway.
I have lived in socialism. People may be lazy there, but creativity, thinking differently, individuality, ability and productiveness is not penalized… Maybe Russia was different. I lived in Hungary.
At this point Hungary’s system is really kleptocracy… stealing power, stealing stuff, stealing rights, stealing freedoms. We are seeing that in the USA happening… I hear that they are copying Hungary, a tiny country in the middle of Europe.
But in authoritarian systems who is calling the shots are the freeloaders. The looters, the moochers, the people who want something for nothing. The enemies of thinking, the enemies of originality, the enemies of production.

Summary: In this article I am turning a leaf in explaining how context is so decisive, and how come your life is a repetitious movie… and how to start living a different movie, a movie that will give you the life you deserve, the life of an Expanding Human Being.
I have spoken about context before…
…but in order to understand how I know what I know, you will need to understand context, in a deep way.
Imagine going to the movie theater. Normally, what you see there is a screen… nothing on it. But it is furthest from the truth. The screen is never quite empty.

Sweep The Floor, Wash The Windows, Vs. Move To A New House Or A New Country… Or The Different Modalities Of Self-Improvement, Self-Development And Transformation
I have been looking at some of my personal sticking points.
Addicted to milk, addicted to sugar, avoiding doing the laundry… these are just the tip of the ice berg.
Oh, you thought that I was beyond that? Oh, sorry to disappoint, you are never beyond that. Besides, if I were, I would not be writing these posts, it would be painfully boring.
Life is about growing, life is about being an advancing personality, not about comfortably teaching something that is a non-issue for me. Even if writing about it would potentially cause your growth: life is about each person becoming an advancing personality, not some teaching others to be that, so they can be off the hook…
Anyway, returning to my top of the iceberg imperfections: I am wondering what is the payoff.

Pioneered by Carol Dweck… the mindset that considers IQ, talent, abilities unchanging and unchangeable. Fixed.
People with a fixed mindset will not do practice to get smarter, will not learn, because in the fixed mindset it doesn’t make a difference.

I watched Emma Thompson embarrassed in her new film, Leo Grande
And I cried. No. I sobbed.
Then left the screen where Leo’s character smiles, Emma laughs on my screen, so I can return to what made me cry.
So it’s next morning and I’ve noticed that I’d spent the past 13 hours somehow returned to innocence.

“the archetype of faith is Abraham”
synonyms: quintessence, essence, model, embodiment, prototype, stereotype
a recurrent symbol or motif in literature, art, or mythology.
“mythological archetypes of good and evil”
An archetype is the pure essence of a behavior, relationship, or a phenomenon.
It is not found in nature, because it is easy to taint it… God is an example of that. Or fields of relationships are examples of that.
If you go to find examples: you won’t… Essence does not have examples, essence is always covered or mixed with inessential… And yet it exists… in the depth of things.
