What or who makes the decisions in your life? About important things…
This question is long overdue.
It came up because of the conversation I was having with 10 of my best students.
How to be in the face of fear.
I bet you know that it takes courage to grow. Growth means growing into uncharted territory. For you, not uncharted in general, uncharted for you. Much like going to shop in the supermarket
I activate a new capacity. If you used it, a whole new world would open up for you… But for you nothing happened… But what just happened?
When I activate a new capacity, you have an opportunity. You either take it or you don’t.
Opportunities come with a count-down-timer… They expire. That’s why the phrase says: window of opportunity…
You continue doing what you have always done, exactly the way you have always done it.
What happens? The opportunity closes. That’s it. Good bye.
There are 160 capacities that you could, potentially, activate.

This article will make you angry, or scared… And neither being angry, nor being scared is a good sign… they show that you have only a few human capacities active… and I probably can’t help you. Your best choice is to leave… Unsubscribe if you are a subscriber.
OK, here is the article:
There are no Aliens. But there are alien-like bugs.
When you search on google for alien bugs, you see bugs like you are used to, legs, eyes, pincers, and then something added… The imagination of graphic artists, movie makers, com
I hope you can see my methodology:
The truth, the big picture, and all the details are in the hidden dimension of the universe. And to unfold any of it, work is needed. Persistent poking of the box.
Some cultures are box-pokers, and others are complacent, satisfied with the size of their jail cell.
I come from a box-poker culture.
Individuals, of course, differ in their level of desire to go beyond the walls… But the average, the culture, is either box poker or not… degrees again… not black and white.
Whether a culture is box pok
The less capacities you have the closer you are to the bottom.
Asking what those capacities are, those seven is a little dumb, but just think about it.
What does everyone who went to school has to have as capacity? Reading, using language, i.e. writing ans speaking, adding numbers, recognizing faces, smells, sounds, telling the time, basic stuff.
You may be able to cook.
You may be able to clean.
You may be able drive…
But they are not capacities: they use capacities, but they are behaviors…

As I am asking questions that are probing, like “what displaces humility when someone doesn’t accept the capacity?” I am bumping up again and again to magical thinking.
When I look at the ethnic/cultural distribution of the people who block humility in favor of magical thinking, I find that
In magical thinking, something or someone will mag
You have been choosing the shrink most of your life… and you ended up on my site with a meager number of capacities, hoping to get more out of life than you are getting.
You have been choosing, consistently to be a fat flightless turkey, in spite of your DNA that has flying as a capacity.
Yesterday I activated the capacity of Process for a handful of people… and it seems that this is a crucial capacity… Here are some interesting insights reading people’s notes who just got the Process capacity activated

Your smarts don’t live in your brain. Comparing brains is a favorite job of scientist, but they are on the wrong track.
Instead they should ask questions that relevant… I wonder why they don’t think to answer relevant questions.
Questions like what happens when a really smart man has a daughter? How come that women, in general, are less capable, less able to make it in the world?
And the answer doesn’t live in the brain: it lives in the DNA.
Children inherit a combination of their parents’ DNA. A child can be smart, even brilliant as a potential, socialization will force
I am starting to see that this missing capacity: the capacity to see a process ((noun: process; plural noun: processes
a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end.
“military operations could jeopardize the peace process”
synonyms: procedure, operation, action, activity, exercise, affair, business, job, task, undertaking
“investigation is a long process”)) , design a process, to have a strategy, is what’s missing to take me out of the one woman band existence.
I have been re-reading Dan Millman’s The Life You Were Born To Live.
I don’t know why I am reading it, but here is what I have found that is worth mentioning:
