I am reading a book, Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise. I am reading it because I want to be able to teach my students better, so they can leave behind the level of ordinary school learning, the pedestrian learning that always produces pedestrian result.
Amateurish performance, amateurish life. ((Your level of fulfillment is exponentially correlated to the amount of effort you invested. Easy: no fulfillment. Hard, lots of effort, hardship: lots of fulfillment.))
The 67 steps spiral… second take… I am at step two… and can see the territory I have covered.
There are a few incredibly useful distinctions in the 67 step program.
Of course, if you listen to the audios through the filter: true/false, right/wrong, agree/don’t agree, you’ll miss them all.
And it’s a pity.
How do I listen? I have said it before: I listen in theta mode… i.e. as if I were taking a shower. I get wet.
I don’t pick and choose which water droplet is right or wrong, true or false, and I don’t evaluate everyth
One of the reasons we don’t grow, is because the nature of time is that it goes one way.
Now, it is true that time goes one way, but we, humans, are equipped with a brain that is able to model, replay, and practice.
I bet you haven’t taken advantage of that.
One huge insight I had when I realized that the version of Freecell I have on my newer computers is the type where you can undo many steps… or even go back to the beginning and do it again.
It did something to me. It changed my perception of life being irreversible. That lost is lost forever. That wh
I have been observing, for no reason, chess masters. Haven seen movies, read books, watched videos… for no reason… other than to allow consciousness to see.
WTF, right?
It is normal to do things for a reason. For fun. For research, For learning. But to take consciousness, like a baby, to the zoo? Who has ever heard anything like that before?
But, as you will see, this is one of the defining differences between humans and human beings… Human beings have layered intentio
I am often asked to map out the path to raising your vibration, raising your consciousness, and become a full fledged human being.
The first step to any journey is to find out where you are at now.
As I muscle test people’s vibration… as I am merging my senses with theirs, feeling their feelings, I feel their overall relationship to life. I feel it stronger than they feel it… like a tool that puts your heartbeat on loudspeaker.
Most people give me feedback, saying “spot on” if they are from England, and then follow my first steps to feel better. Growth is not linear. By that I mean that you don’t grow a little bit every day. It is much like evolution: something tiny changes, and it creates a dramatic shift. When things feel linear, it also means that you are simply stirring the soup… no growth. It’s OK. Yesterday I had a glimpse at something that I had never seen: I saw that if opportunity favors the prepared… then I am in trouble: I am not prepared for any opportunity. I am not prepared to roll with the punches that t I saw something this morning. I was knocked awake… painfully. How many things you know how to do, how many things can you do? Thousands of things. And how many do you do? Tens, max. But you don’t do them… you think about doing them. Not even in a planning to do way, but in a “that would be the thing to do” way. Like air guitar, like punching the air p Unless you’re winning, most of life will seem hideously unfair to you. he truth is, life is just playing by different rules. The real rules are there. They actually make sense. But they’re a bit more complicated, and a lot less comfortable, which is why most people never manage to learn them. Let’s try. All the steps of the 67 steps program are nudges for you to discover something that you haven’t seen. Of course, like with everything, your tendency is to go to your head for the answers, and not look at all outside of your head. The step (Step 5) where the homework is to list what you see about poor people and rich people is a great step to show your relationship to growth. If you think you are rich, you go and tell me how what you do, how you think, Now, why this is worth writing about? Because it is the tip of the iceberg of something really important. We have spoken about the selfish gene. For the gene you are a survival vehicle only. And a person, who is not related to you, is competition, rival… and in your gene’s way to make more copies of itself. I know this is unfamiliar territory, but please bear with me, because where it is taking us is worth going to… so patience… you don
