If you are human, you are hungry for stories — the power of reading

composition-of-diverse-people-smilingcropped6aIt seems that to be human is to crave stories. So, if you are reading this, you crave stories.

The question is: where are you get your stories from?

Most of you get it in gossip.

Many get it in soap operas as well… not much better than gossip.

I recommend that you read. Quality novels or short stories… It enriches, while gossips or gossipy TV shows don’t.

Neither do romance novels…

You need to satisfy the hunger, but just like with food, some foods nurture, others fill you up with crap.

So choose wisely.

A different take on enlightenment… profound and funny… unexpected

AsiaGregg_And_IndyBeagle_KiaI clipped this from Monday Morning Memo… because it is so fabulous… A fast way to enlightenment.

Because you get your wisdom where you find it!

First things first: If you can’t imagine yourself tearing up the streets in this whip without feeling embarrassed, then get out. Your ancestral bloodline is anemic, and you are dismissed. The Spectra does not tolerate weakness.

As for the rest of you — put your helmets on, because I’ve got a metaphysical bomb to drop.

I’ve discovered the secret to happiness.

No it’s not religion, drugs, or don

How do you see yourself? how accurate is your self-image?

skiff ... are you in sync or out of sync with 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
noun
noun: self-image; plural noun: self-images

the idea one has of one’s abilities, appearance, and personality.
“sickness is an affront to one’s self-image and dignity”))

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

The Anna Karenina Principle… or how to find and follow your path successfully

This  podcast is about The path to happiness, fulfillment, and a life lived well?

there are two dramatically different approaches to self-growth.

The first will give you advice on what to do and promises that all those many actions will surely take you to where you want to go.

The second will use the Anna Karenina principle… where Lev Tolstoy says: Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.,

The Anna Karenina principle describes an endeavor in which a deficiency in any one of a number of factors dooms it to failure. Consequently, a successful endeavor (subject to this principle) is one where every possible deficiency has been avoided.

My understanding is that if you teach that the strait and narrow of finding your way leads through avoiding all possible deficiencies, faults, and false moves, will lead you through the strait.

You may be able to see people ahead of you in the strait, but no matter how hard you look, their actions may inform you, but the same actions, done by you may land you on the rocks… because most of what those people did was below the visible, even below their consciousness level.

On the other hand you also see people who have landed on the rocks, and their failures, mistakes, delusions, and wrong approaches are more visible…

Your job is to learn from both

But how?

You need to become a master of patterns and distinctions.

It is not an accident that there are so few happy and successful people on the planet.

Success without happiness is very frequent.
Happiness without success is rare… happy people don’t advertise that they are happy.

Deficiency in any one of the areas of life will lead to diminished success and diminished happiness.

Areas as sexual attraction, money issues, parenting, religion, in-laws

Or for a life well lived, you can’t neglect your health, your finances, your social relationships, and your mental well being. thinking biases, cognitive.

In my coaching, I take people through 67 steps where they contintually re-examine their lives in the face of 100 or so distinctions, patterns, and principles.

Through this examination, people grow towards the light, even thought the principles were at what to avoid.

This is the best coaching I have ever found and the results talk for themselves: people whose purpose is to grow, grow tall and straight and in the direction of happiness, success, and health.

One of the rarest and most functional capacities is the capacity to allow… without resistance.

Telling the truth will set you free. The counter intuitive path to happiness

Some people won’t adhere to a diet that would make them healthy.

Stupidity? Yes, stupidity on a very deep selfish gene level.

It’s not that they don’t understand the price they are paying.

It’s that they make choices that the genes are making: not making waves, not bringing attention to themselves, not being different, fitting in is more important than being healthy, having energy, feeling good, calm, intelligent.

Almost everything “social” is gene directed. I say “almost” because I am humble. I don’t know any social that is NOT gene directed, but there could be, maybe.

So what do the genes want?

The genes want to survive, and they want to pass into a new generation.

Being liked, fitting in are

There is laziness and then there is lazy-ness. Is lazy learned helplessness?

3c9854ee298db856d690210de730d282This laziness thing came up again today.

During shopping. Is a fruit bowl worth the extra $3? It was 9.95, and it’s now 12.95… she says, and I have no idea how to answer. She has no idea what the weight of the fruit is, what the fruit would cost if you bought it and chopped it up yourself.

Just the question, out of context… is it worth it?

So what the heck is really this phenomenon: lazy, that is not lazy at all… but what is it really, if it is not actually lazy?

The third thinking brain… immersion: the secret to mastery of life and growth

immersion therapyThe first thinking brain, the genes driven brain creates a life of reactivity, full of fear, full of anxiety, full of sharp turns and devastating jerks. I’ve lived there… and I hated it.

The second thinking brain, the one that evaluates, reasons, figures stuff out, is slow and plodding, and hard work. Creates real solutions, keeps you out of trouble… but not really fun.

And then there is the third thinking brain… the work of thinking is done in the background, on the back burner, while the foreground is silent, resting, or busy learning something new..

That is where I live now.

I am getting a few questions about that, and I decided to tell you as much as I can see… the mechani

Tell me your problems and I’ll know the size of your life…

offended-3When your life is about you… when your life is about others… when your life is about ideas.. these are different sizes of a life you can have. In this article we’ll examine the effects of these levels on your peace of mind, level of fulfillment, the quality of your life.

We’ll start with me… and my experience.

In 1988 January 1, around 3 minutes after the ball dropped on Times Square, I declared something that ultimately turned my life around.

Then periodically, since then, I made declarations in a similar vein, that clarified and solidified that historical declaration in 1988.

You can’t fix being human

lying-to-continueYou can’t fix being human

..that is one of the disappointing things you learn when you do work with me. I won’t feed you balooney like “you are a spiritual being having a human experience…” and other garden variety horse manure.

The other half-sentence is just as disappointing: “you can’t get out of this life alive…”

These two half-sentences address 70% of the popular delusions of humanity.

When you internalize these truly, when you start to be energized by them then your vibration will jump 50 points or more.
