I just had a breakthrough…
I have been teaching you how to raise your consciousness, your level of consciousness, by allowing something or someone guide you to look at things beyond where you always look, and differently than you have always looked.
I consider myself always a student as well… so I have been listening to myself, and following my own teaching.
But the results, in the area of growing visibility, increasing my following, increasing my
I just had a flash… A big bang.
We all have projects, and we all give it lip service, but don’t really do it… don’t really pursue our projects.
So, when a student of mine said: she needed to set priorities, I sent her this
I like the sound of setting priorities, but what is the principle of choosing priorities… what is the goal, the context of your life, that if you don’t achieve it, you’ll have regrets when you die?
Then it hit me: unless you have the context of your entire life and what you would regret, right bef
Another book written by Malcolm Gladwell deals with the deficit, the weakness of a person, that becomes the catalyst for them to become the best.
Of course, this is not automatic.
99% of dyslexics can’t read or write well, and are left behind in society.
But a disproportionately large percentage of exceptionally successful people are dyslexic.
99% of dyslexics are kinesthetic learners, perceive the world kinestheticly. It is another hindrance, being
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
Imagine having to find your way through a maze without seeing past the tiny circle a flashlight can illuminate?
“Luckily” you only have to look at your life. Your health, your money, your love life.
You ARE living your life, a veritable maze, by the light of a flashlight.
You read an article here… yay, I see may way. A sound bite there… yay, I see now… But it is still the tiny flashlight method: you don’t see the big picture, you don’t see your way to the good life.
Seeing the full picture, the big pictu
Life is a lot like a Freecell game. ((In an upcoming article I’ll share what it cost me to learn through life, instead of simulation. Quite an educational story… sad though… :-())
You make lots of decisions… which card to move, which card to leave alone.
In a very short time when you find yourself with no cards to move… it is mighty hard to retrace your steps. And even if you could, undoing the steps
The allure to jump into doing is very strong. Or alternatively waiting… and doing nothing.
But “They” say: without action nothing happens. Some say: take lots of action, imperfect actions.
But no one is talking about looking, no one is talking about conscious awareness.
Conscious awareness is what separates a human from an animal.
When you are operating from the mind, you are not using conscious awareness.
The smoother a teacher ta
The fox and the hare tale: Why does a rabbit run faster than a fox? Because while the fox is running for his dinner, the rabbit is running for his life. All of life works the same way…
I have noticed that take-away, as a manipulation technique, works exceptionally well on me.
Here is how the technique works: you show something, and you state that it is only available at this price for a limited amount of time.
I find myself scrambling to get it.
I could also have made the title: your horoscope and your ego’s role in it, or your soul correction and your ego’s role in it.
There is a lot of different ways people define ego, but what if the ego is none of those. Not what Freud called ego, not what gurus call ego.
What if the ego is simply the mechanism by which the Selfish Gene perpetuates itself… like an old dog that is un
The Detached/Unattached ((I am starting to realize that a better name would be: Unattached… but then,
