Little more about humility… the cog in the wheel One detrimental functions of “lack of humility” as a capacity, is that you can’t change your mind about your past.

Two tricks to fall asleep earlier so you can avoid not being able to fall asleep
Lack of sleep is one of the biggest issues of our time. Not because you are doing anything useful, or because you don’t have time to sleep.
This article is about taming your tiredness so you can sleep.
This is one thing no one is talking about… you are too tired to go to bed, you are too tired to go to sleep.
Most of my life I lived a life like this: I would work, intensely, 12-18 hours a day. Then I would be too tired to go to sleep.
I may even get to my bedroom, and sit on the edge of the bed, pr
Do you feel that no one listens, and your contribution is not valued? This solves that…
I found this article in my inbox. I think it is perfect for what I teach… So let’s see how it applies… The article is about hypnosis secrets: a way to manipulate others through hypnotic language… I don’t recommend it. The more you use it the less integrity you’ll have.
On the other hand, there is a non-manipulative way you can produce the same results, if what you have to say is good… If what you have to say is crap… even g-o-d can’t help you.
OK, here is the article… I drive it home at the end.
Take this test:
Count up all the people you spok
They say: you are either growing or you are dying… but how do you go from dying into growing again?
You can plan for survival, or you can plan for growth The most important difference, from your point of view is this: When you plan for survival, every setback threatens you with death, or poverty, or lack, or illness. When … Continue reading → Related Posts: I Hear The Sound Of Scrambling, or How To […]
Is Sophie enlightened? Has Sophie attained to whatever people attain to?
Often (too often!) people write to me telling me that I am not supposed to get angry, not supposed to be stingy, not supposed to be on thing or another… Why? Because enlightened means, according to them, forever joyful, forever happy, and rich, rich, rich.
So, what is the truth about enlightenment? Is there such a thing at all?
The answer depends on who you ask, but whoever you ask: they are speaking from Tree of Knowledge.
Why? Because if you say “I am enlightened” according to scriptures you are lying.
And if you say “I am not enlightened” you don’t know what you are talking about…
Enlightened is a tr
More on joy, and how I am learning to have joy in my life
My first foray, my first venture into joy or joyous is trying to figure out what joy is. After all we don’t know necessarily what words mean when it comes to feelings… do we. We, children, watch and learn… but in a world where what you see is a mask, what you see does not represent a feeling accurately, because the person isn’t feeling it, because the person is faking it, the looks don’t help.
My hunch is that joy is fabricated with the intention to cause craving for it, to cause an acute sense of the lack of it.
Actually, when I watch people who enjoy something, they
You don’t have to deserve something to be deserving
Let me ask you something: do you have to deserve a body? Did you have to deserve to be able to read?
No. Deserving is much more basic, and much more profound than that kind of deserving, which would equate the word with earning.
Earning is a mercantile world’s word: it measures your work, or your merchandise against the asking price… earning.
But deserving is different, regardless how crazy that word drove me when I was a kid. My kid brother whining that he deserved whatever he was whining about.
I didn’t think I deserved anything, so he asserting that he de
Liar liar pants of fire
Some people lie more than others. But all people lie… Lying by commission and lying by omission.
Facebook is nauseatingly full of lies and liars. You lie to your loved ones and you lie to yourself. You lie because it seems the kind thing to do, you lie because it is no big deal… but it is… to your inner self… and then you pay the price. This article explains how.
It’s obviously not my article… but it will do…

The most difficult capacity to master brings the most benefits… of course
According to Malcolm Gladwell: life skills, social skills, winning skills you learn through living with people who use them.
My mother didn’t have them, and my brothers, especially my younger brother didn’t get them…
I did get some from my father: my father came from deep… mother died of starvation, he was bounced between families, getting an education without going to school, walking from one country to the other to save his skin…

Meaningful life is what you want? Let’s see how you can get that…
People who have meaningful work, want to work more… they work willingly, study willingly, grow willingly. ((Meaningful work means you see the results of your work readily.))
What could you do to steal meaning into your life? So you can have a meaningful life?
The new year is coming. It is customary to make inventory, and to set direction for the new year around this time of the year… even though you are busy planning for Christmas.
Christmas is the right time… With your Observer, with your Witness, watch your level of abundance, your level of grace and ease, your level of love wit
