There is a deep human need to make our lives controllable. To be in control. To be certain. To be safe.
And there is this deep human need to see more, be more, feel more, have more, experience more.
They point to opposing directions, and they tend to jerk you back and forth.
It’s an oscillating structure.
Like every oscillating structure, the tension between the two extremes cannot be resolved, there is no ess… the battle will continue as long as… let me address that later.
One of the invaluable benefits I gained from the 67 steps is the idea to consider getting tired in the noonish hours a signal that it is time to lie down and read.
This midday break disrupts the societal pull to do the useful, the purposeful, the goal-oriented stuff… that makes us dull, dutiful, and lopsided… boring.
I have a timer that turns on t
We are all born seeing ourselves as the center of the world. We don’t know we are the center of our world… we just don’t know there is any other vantage point to look from.
Most of us never learn it.
Like one of my students: every time I recommend anything, she answers: “I agree…”
She hasn’t crossed that threshold, that divide between infant and even toddler… absolutely and completely ignorant to the fact that using the personal vantage point is ineffective, because it is delusional.
This is also true if and when you can see that other people see things differently from how you see them, but your view is accurate and theirs is inaccurate.
Same delusional,
It’s a normal day to me: I went deep inside the energy body of a person in Singapore and got in touch with her life, her urges, how she thinks, and what pains she has. I pulled her energetic attachments. … Continue reading
But being popular is very overrated: it means being exposed to the dumb, ignorant, curiosity seeker… and thank you, I am not interested.
So I hope this article reaches at least a handful who isn’t that…
I like to believe that I am well rounded, inquisitive, curious, and well read…
And today I had to find out that in some regards I am as clueless and ignorant as most people.
I stumbled upon a movie, Consumed, that shook me to my core…

That was a 10-minute little part… but please…Watch the full 84 minute documentary… it is well worth your tim
I am sick to my stomach… Why? Because people are unaware of the balance of “power” inside them… because people are trying to “give” from ego, thinking they are spreading positive energy in the world. I am reading a book … Continue reading → Related Posts: How do you generate positive energy… and how can […]
I am prone to depression. Not sadness, but a loss of aliveness, a loss of inner motivation.
I have barely came out of a bout with one… and have been intensely curious of what caused it.
Depression, as I experience it, has no emotional reason.
When I look, I have no reason for depression, so the cause is not outside of a person… it is an inside job.
My experience has been that the factors are nutrition and sleep.
When certain vitamins are low, whether the consumption is low, or the wrong foods gobble them up, low Vitamin B levels, all sorts, B-1, 5, 12, 9… I have distinguished so far.
You eat what you are, you crave what you areEvery plant, every animal contains toxins that it developed to protect itself from being eaten and extinguished… The selfish gene makes sure of that.
Your body, ancestrally, developed a liking and a tolerance to certain foods… that allowed it to survive.
It takes a long time for a group of people to create an ess with certain foods.
What makes the Japanese thrive may kill you… What an Irish can subsist on will kill you… What a Kenyan runner thrives on is murder for you… or can be.
With grocery stores carrying foods from so many continents you are not safe and you don’t thrive.
How many individuals do you know that thrive? I don
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

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
Humans are meaning making machines… and unconscious of the fact that all meaning comes from them. We want to know what something means, so we can be prepared for the danger or the good fortune that the meaning carries inside … Continue reading → Related Posts: Does Your Life Lack Meaning?
