Warning: as always, the most important things are explained in the footer part of the post! Don’t miss them!
Some weeks are like this: I do something, see something, write about something important, and on Monday Roy Williams’ Monday Morning Memo echoes it.
This is the case this week… You know when you manage to do something whose time has come? Gratifying, rewarding, like the Universe nods in your direction. ((Roy Wil
OK, if you have found yourself not being willing, or not being able to do the practices, or keep doing them: this article is for you.
I have been studying learning styles, thinking styles, teaching methods to make my teaching more effective. And while it wasn’t a waste of time, because it brought me to this day and this knowledge, it was putting the cart in front of the horse.
Today I recounted some effective teaching methods to a friend… They were effective to me. But when I looked at all the people who were exposed to the same teaching, same teaching method, same teacher, at the sam
About two years or so after I graduated from architecture school, I was assigned to manage a project. A big one. A university in Oran, Algeria.
I wasn’t assigned because I was so good. Looking back I was green. I didn’t have the vision. I didn’t have the big picture. I didn’t have even the small picture.
Then a new person came to manage the department, and he sent me back to be a draftsperson to prove myself from the ground up.
As any self-respecting arrogant person would, I said that I didn’t have to prove
It’s 2 pm, and by this time, on a normal day, I have written three articles. But until about 10 minutes ago, I had nothing to say today.
Was I worried? Was I concerned?
I wasn’t. How come?
When you observe yourself, you can see that you are concerned with one thing or another all the time.
You should be this or that. You have to this, you need to that… and you definitely should whatever.
I have severed that connection between myself and “obligations” or concerns years ago when I finally got fo
What makes the “Stranger than Fiction” type of narration work like gangbusters to get you out of your head?
To my surprise not many people take advantage of the opportunity to watch a good movie and steal a habit that can be called a spiritual practice that can take you from a victim of your mind, to as near a human being as you can get in a few months’ time.
The movie,

I was in a mental hospital, in Hungary, talking to my psychiatrist; you But the answer to that question, albeit it is fashionable to think that the guy/gal with the most toys wins, will surprise you: the person who possesses himself wins, every step of the way. I pretty much don’t know anyone with any level of self-possession: it can be measured. People are like leaves blowing in the wind, flotsam on the ocean… out of control, hoping for a favorable wind… lacking what can only developed by rigorous practice. Rigorous? Practice? Please stop laughing… you are out of control! But like anything of value, The first step I needed to do is to look at the courses I have already lead, to get a sense that in fact I CAN lead effective courses… I listened into a whole lot of the recorded sessions. I learned that I have fun leading (I laugh a lot), that the material is amazing, and that the students love participating. I have decided on doing the second phase activators course… this time with the new energies that eliminate the need for you to be connected while I download the activators… A good 20 minutes each hour was spent on making sure you are connected when I last lead that course. Today I heard from a long time client who never managed to go from a to be… despite of the many courses she came to. She had a difficult time accessing an activator, part of the Second Phase Activators (I downloaded more than 100 activators in that course!). I checked and she was right, somehow the video got corruteed in the more than three years it was moved around… I listened to it and it dawned on me that without activating humility, of course you’ll never learn anything. Anything new, I mean. Here is the article I wrote at the time, and in the meantime I am trying to rescue You are out of step with yourself. The you that interfaces with the world is either ahead of or behind the you that you really are. The you that tries to look good, keep up with the appearances is always trying to fix the you that you really are. No acceptance, no tolerance, no music, no harmony, no peace. Let me set this straight: the you that you really are doesn’t need to change. That is who you are. On the other hand the you that you show to the world is off… mistaken, messed up… So, simply put, the messed up one is trying to fix the High vibration – low vibration: what does it really signify? What does it really mean?
I woke up late today. I could recall my dream. It was nightmarish, but it was a guidance dream. A first in a long long time. Self-possessed… living from the Witness position, living from Consciousness
The question in your life is: who possesses who? Who possesses what?
I have been working on starting to lead courses again.
I’ve taken a break, recharged my batteries, and I am ready… Updated: Humility: What Is It And Why Should You Have It? Is Being Humble Meek? Powerless? Stupid? Get Ready To Be Surprised!
Sometimes guidance comes from a student or client request. You are out of step with yourself. You are split. You are schizophrenic.
On today’s Talk-to-me call I had an insight: I saw something I had never seen:
