What kind of deserving is in that title?
Systemic? Extrinsic? Intrinsic?
In the past four months that I have been able to turn on individual capacities for people, I have received no request to turn on trust.
Why is that?
After all people, rightly, asked me for self-trust. But self-trust won’t be enough.
So what can be the current world view with regards to trust, that trust doesn’t come up as number one to turn on.
Because, whether you know it or not, without trust there is no winning. Without trust there is no flow. Without trust there is no fulf
I am reading Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene. The genes that use humans as vehicles, and are only interested in procreation, and not in the life experience of the vehicle.
But, as I have said before, there are 160 intangible capacities, mostly dormant, in the human DNA. The ones that we are going to look at in this article are the capacities (genes) of generosity (altruism) and trust.
Trust and generosity seem to be at odds with the selfishness of the genes… but they don’t have to be.
The most popular image I have on Instagram says: Arrogance is weakness disguised as strength.
Now, why this is worth writing about?
Because it is the tip of the iceberg of something really important.
We have spoken about the selfish gene. For the gene you are a survival vehicle only. And a person, who is not related to you, is competition, rival… and in your gene’s way to make more copies of itself.
I know this is unfamiliar territory, but please bear with me, because where it is taking us is worth going to… so patience… you don
Here’s an awareness exercise (meditation) that I particularly like for rejuvenating yourself with silence:
Sit up straight.
Close your eyes.
Take a few deep breaths to settle down. (if you know how to center yourself, you can do it first)
Then here’s what to do with your awareness:
Eyes closed, get a sense of the end of your personal space in front of you. It’s an energetic phenomenon, mine is about three feet… You’ll feel it. Second: let me explain the picture: no teacher is worth a darn, unless the student is able to handle, utilize what the teacher teaches. And therein lies all the difficulty you are experiencing. As you can, maybe, track, I am becoming obsessed with learning to learn… or more precisely said, teaching you to learn to learn… Because you have been mi Which attitude will get you what you want? No contest, I hope, learned helplessness will get you more of the same. 50% of the world’s population behaves like they can’t handle it. It is learned helplessness… it is not innate. But it feels innate… But it is, in reality, a reflex built and initiated by parents, religion, school, and politi One of them actually did what I did, followed my example, and wrote to me about his experience. He is astute ((having or showing an ability to accurately assess situations or people)). So what did the rest of them do? Some of them, at least, hugged themselves, and felt the pain or the sadness. Did any of them have a conversation? Yes. Some of them. So why do I say they didn’t do what I did? Because they didn’t catch that I didn’t talk about what’s wrong with me… We’ve spoken about a lot of things. One of them will be of special relevance to you. That is, why people want to change. It all came out of both of us watching the first few sessions of the 67 steps, excellent, by the way. But what’s most interesting is that what he is getting out of it, and what I am getting out of those sessions, the 67 steps, are so different: it is hard to be
Why, your chances to become worth a damn (dime?), are less than 2%?
First things first: the saying is “become worth a damn.” But a lot of people consider damn a curse word, so they say “become worth a dime”… Oh well, here you have it. Become worth a dime… lol. Learned Helplessness: 50% of humanity is a wuss, a sissy… a cry-baby. In 1945 it was 7%… In Jesus’ time it was 1%
Learned helplessness, this is today’s topic. The opposite of “Bring it on…!” Your life depends on which is your dominant attitude. Astute, foggy, clueless… how many distinct things can you tell apart?
So far 46 people read the article about the exercise for self love. Another way lack of humility screws with you
The Detached/Unattached ((I am starting to realize that a better name would be: Unattached… but then, How can you get to do what you most love to do for a living?
