It is Saturday afternoon and Netflix is down… and half of the United States is scrambling, wondering what they should do with their lives. lol…
I have been downloading the Spiritual Energy that is available on this Day of Power, several times today, and it is the nicest energy I have ever encountered…
It’s not physical. It is all spiritual energy, the energy you need to grow, spiritually and as a person, the energy you need to engage in serious self-examination… So here is mine.
I used to lead introductions to the Landmark Forum.
There is a part in the introduction where you attempt to distinguish for people that most of what’s knowable for a human: you don’t know. Moreover: you don’t know what you don’t know.
Then you ask a simple question: Can you give me an example of what you don’t know that you don’t know?
In most groups there is at least one person who tries… Everybody laughs… because the answer to that question can only be: I don’t have an example… You can give an example of what you used to not know but now know… but that is an answer to a different question.
Now, one of the beauties of reading is finding stuff that you didn’t know that you didn’t kn
If I see you as beautiful… will you see yourself as beautiful?
If I see you as magnificent, great, awesome… will you see yourself like I do?
Muscle test and my experience says: no.
The most beautiful women spend hours in front of the mirror staring at their imperfections… trying to hide them.
There are also beautiful women who can say: so what. They are in search of some other imperfection.
We know ourselves intimately, and rare is the person who can leave it alone… who can refrain bemoaning their faults, and stop trying to fix themselves while keeping up appearances.
The question came up because of my last article. I bet a lot of people thought I should have told the woman in the article
Between two chairs I find myself fallen and sitting on the floor
I don’t know if you can recognize this situation, but my hunch is: you should.
Your attention is divided. Your intentions are divided. And NOTHING gets done.
It should be a daily concern… if it is not, you are probably in a rut.
What is a rut? A trench… you can either go forward or you can go backwards… Or stand still, hoping that it will give you a sense of being alive.
Whenever you add a new task, you have to go through this state: if you don’t, then you didn’t mean to add the task.

the idea one has of one’s abilities, appearance, and personality. Do you know that people see you differently than you see yourself? And both you and other people see you differently than you actually are. You may see yourself worse or better or just plain different than you really are… and so do others. Your life would work better if the two views were closer. You’d h Most people look how you express yourself not what it is you express… This article is about “what” not “how”… What is the Self you express with everything… your life, your job, your relationships, with your music, poetry, and your life. There are two selves, and the reason life doesn’t work for most of us is because the two selves are not connected in any way. Self 1: your genes, your desire to survive and procreate. Self 2: your human desire to be higher than just your genes… to live your higher self.

Edison I don’t like these topics because they need organization, creating systems, and I am not good at them. I tighten up when I have to do things I am not good at. I could learn to be good at them, but everything comes at a cost, time and brain cells taken away from what I am Why? Because unless you can be moved on the inside, you are dead and I can’t help you… nobody can. Unless you can attain to a certain level of awe, you are not going to be able to have a purpose to your life, or love, or rise above the pedestrian existence of the current humanity. And no, I am not going to turn it on for you, please don’t ask. This is a pro Now, the task is easier when someone knows who they are. When someone has a Self. Most people don’t. They have a persona for each group they interact with, the family persona, the student persona, the friend, the gossiper, the entertainer, the this and the that. Those personas (roles you play) are not you. They were created by a perceived demand in the circumstances, a perceived demand in the environment. They leave you empty, they leave you being jerked by the The article asking: where do you look to define your value got a lot of “hits” and comments. Reading the answers I saw that some fundamental distinctions are missing, in spite of the fact that I have written about all of those before, on this blog. So after reading the article about the three levels of valu How do you see yourself? how accurate is your self-image?
The inner view and the outer view of who you are are vastly different. Your chances for success, love, happiness depend on the accuracy of your self-image. ((self-im·age

People throw around the words: self-expression, but I have never found a person who knows what it means. Opportunity favors the one who is prepared… or do things when they are easy
Business, marketing, and other business things are not my favorite things to learn or do. Even though I come from a family where three out of five (I have two brothers) have MBAs, and my father was god of the topic in Hungary…
One path to Self you may want to take
One of the capacities you want to cultivate is the capacity of being in awe. Awestruck, awe-inspired. The Juice Exercise: what gives you “juice” in life?
I have been coaching people for many years now. The goal was always to take people on a journey to become their best Self. How do you use the three levels of value in your “real” life to fall in love with yourself?
