Living in the three levels of value, the systemic, the extrinsic, and the intrinsic, lived fully, and balanced, is the secret to the good life.
The Indian sages, including the Buddha, skipped the extrinsic. They taught people not to live there. They had a disdain for it.
But work is on the extrinsic level, making money is on that level, so skipping it means living a life of charity. Living a life where you cannot value another person on all levels… because you don’t value the values of that level.
Are you healthy enough to have meaning to your life? Purpose?
Meaning: Following THAT Star. The alternative is Meaningless
This is my quest: to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far.
Humans are strange animals: they need meaning to make their lives to feel more than just existing. They need purpose to give a backbone, to give direction, to transform a life of prose to poetry.
But life is, in itself, empty and meaningless… so how do you find the meaning, how do you find the purpose?

If you have ever been pinned down, not able to free yourself…
If you have ever been forced to do something you didn’t want to do… anything…
…your trust of life, your trust in people, your confidence has dealt a big blow.
Recovering is not guaranteed, and the wound can be torn open again quite easily.

Mental representation is a detailed picture, so detailed and so tangible, that you can pinpoint where reality is deviating from it… and how. Mental representation is a spiritual capacity that sits squarely on a lot of other spiritual capacities, so obviously it is not part of the first seven most people have, not even part of the first 13, many professionals have, not even part of the first 20, that doctors have. And Your own design is like a filter you look through. You can’t see the filter, just like you don’t see the window unless you touch it… A filter is also like a pair of glasses… They can be dark tinted, they can be yellow, green… and the world occurs differently with each pair of glasses. You can’t see that it’s the glasses that make the world look the way the world looks to you… unless you can take it off… You can see only the ripples. And that is the cultural shift towards avoiding work. I first woke up to it when my favorite teacher, Robert Plank, called it a four letter word, and avoided using it. The weird and disorienting fact was this: Robert loved getting things done. Actually really loved it. So it was the word, somehow, that appalled him. He lives in California… I thought maybe it had something to do with it. But since then I realized that it is We already know. Children, when they cry because they hurt themselves, can be brought out of crying by directing their attention to something more interesting, more engaging. We use it in the Soaring Method. I use it in almost every coaching conversation I have with people who are stuck in some unproductive state of being, like sadness, despair, maybe even resistance. Wide cone of vision means inclusive… narrow cone of vision is exclusive… exclusive of areas that you KNOW don’t matter, don’t belong, or you don’t like them. Exclusive because you KNOW the answer… The most exciting insights first show up in the corner of your eyes… Which means they are literally outside of your cone of vision. One way I see this is how attac Tuesdays are my days to interface with people who are neither my readers, nor my clients. Ordinary people. And although it is very frustrating to me, and maybe even them, I learn a lot from these unpleasant interactions. Ever since I read The Selfish Gene, a book, and even more since I read the book “Why beautiful people have daughters” a look on life through evolutionary psychology, I am trying to match what I read with what I see, hear, and feel. It’s a fresh new way to look at people, and a lot more forgiving than th We are told that we are what we eat… and it makes no sense… Because really what we are is what we can absorb from what we eat… including supplements. Now, if that is so, then what happens to your pearls of wisdom, to your kindness, to your support, to your brilliance, to your gifts, to the value you sell people? Before you point fingers at them, let’s examine how you receive pearls of wisdom… etc. There is a predictability about it, is there not? You have a fixed The importance of knowing what you want
Knowing what you want to achieve, is one thing that is missing in you. Another name for that is called “mental representation” of what you want to achieve. Time to reinvent yourself as someone you can love

I have been pondering something that has been really bothering me. I have diagnosed it 90% accurately, but I have no idea how to change it. Doing your soul correction, shifting your state of being, toughening up

Can you tell what size is your cone of vision? Look to what degree your live is fragmented…
Your vibration, your creativity, your truth value all depends on your cone of vision… But until you see that you have a narrow cone of vision, that you look at things with narrow cone of vision, or a narrow filter, you won’t want to make it wider. Want to break out of living the life the selfish gene allows you to live?
