It’s been a weird couple of days. Every time I stop doing something my mind goes to evil acts I have seen in movies or read about in books. It started with the Marco Polo series on Netflix. I realized … Continue reading → Related Posts: Are You “Doing” Compassion Wrong? 5 Ways to Practice […]
If you want to raise your vibration to feel better… you are barking up the wrong tree.
People who can’t tolerate negative, unpleasant, ambivalent feelings try to resist them, which is the surest way to make them permanent, or at least last.
What you resist persist… Carl Jung (1875-1961) says, and it is true. ((Psychologically speaking, resistance and resolution are at opposite poles. For resistance has fundamentally to do with not being able, or willing, to deal with the negative experiences in your life. And ultimately your happiness depends a lot more on handling—then letting go of—such adversities than it does, self-protectively, denying them, or fighting against them. In addition, so does (unwittingly) holding onto their associated feelings of hurt, sorrow, anxiety, or anger.
Jung was talking about his research into what he ca
Why do we have an ego, and how can we make it really useful? You don’t have any part that is not useful!
I just had a “conversation” with a student, where I suggested that she uses ego to support her growth.
From her answers it has become clear that “using ego” is not a commonplace conversation, and that it needs instruction.
So let’s see what ego is, and what it isn’t.
Ego is a lot like a kitchen knife: you can use it for good, for useful, or for harm… kill with it. You can also use it to clean it under your nails… somewhat useful, but not the right tool…
You can also call it bad, and ban it from your house. ((It is also a lot like a nail. It concentrates the energy so it can go through thick planks
You want it effortlessly… Want thrilling, want pleasure, want abundance…
I read a lot of books. About 100 books a year. Cover to cover. I don’t subscribe to Tai’s reading method…
I left a 2000 book library when I left Hungary. that was 34 years ago.
Every book is an opportunity to shatter my view of the world. And many do. Sometimes not directly… sometimes through the effect the book has on other people.
This is what is happening with this book I am currently reading, The Upside of Your Dark Side. And previously with the book “Curiou
The Upside of Your Dark Side… How your shadow is your biggest gift
I am reading the book “The Upside Of Your Dark Side”.
It’s about living a full life, being a full person, being fully in your power.
This is not the norm of the day… We have become comfortable, and comfort means the elimination of discomfort… duh.
It sounds wonderful, but it isn’t.
It leads to an “un-full” life, where you have no tolerance, no use, no place, no room for unpleasant things, unpleasant thoughts, unpleasant feeling.

You are born with certain DNA defined potentials. No doubt about that. Your ancestry and its habits lead to your DNA being allowing and restrictive, and yet, all human capacities are encoded in your DNA… but what is not needed, what was not needed by your ancestors is dimmed out… “not needed”, Nature decided… The next phase is as crucial a Sometimes the turmoil is caused by some inner pressure that is societally driven. When being true to yourself is not politically correct. Your ability, your capacity to hold controversy and ambivalence comes really handy when you have a turmoil. Why? Because the urge to call the turmoil wrong, and the urge to look for a fix is overwhelming if you don’t have that capacity, that emotional and spiritual maturity. And most people don’t. Having the capacity to hold the idea and the opposite, without being overly perturbed is a very high capacit One of the reasons today’s human suffers is this: you have delegated most if not all decision making to “experts”… and you hoped that you would never have to know anything about those areas of life and you’d be safely and nicely taken care of. A step on delegation in the 67 steps begs to differ. Unless you have at least cursory and accurate knowledge in what you are Engagement is making a commitment… But commitment is tricky. Real commitment comes from the Intrinsic Self, and you don’t need to make it. It is what the Intrinsic Self wants you to do… Most things you call commitment, are impositions on the Intrinsic Self, impositions on you. Duty, obligation, drudgery. They come from either an outside goal or an ego goal… and they don’t get the support of the Intrinsic Self. The engagement period drives up the real sentiments, and if there is any honesty, will prove or disprove the authenticity of the commitment. Authenticity means: coming from the intrinsic Self. A number of years ago, one leader in Landmark Education said: Most people either don’t sign up or quit as soon as they see it. See what? You ask… See that the solution to the issues of their lives, the decisions that would have taken them to success were there, but they didn’t see them. I didn’t see them, and you didn’t see them. Moreover… no matter how many times I notice that I didn’t see something, the fact doesn’t change: I don’t see what is there… I see something else. Intelligence… what is intelligence, and how can you become more intelligent?
The quality of your life depends on your overall intelligence… intellect, body intelligence, emotional intelligence, social intelligence, the ability to lie a full life, with a range of emotions, and to conquer difficulties, adversities successfully.
What causes you turmoil has a strong connection to your intrinsic Self, either positively or negatively
