How could you become ready to grow?
I am using Rob Brezsny’s words here… maybe his English communicates better than mine: ANTI-INSTRUCTIONS Exaggerate your flaws till they turn into virtues Pretend your wounds are exotic tattoos Refuse the gifts that infringe on your freedom Shun sacred places … Continue reading → Related Posts: Happiness is wanting what you have All you can […]
Build your house on rock: Starting from what is, instead of a delusion
My disastrous conversation with the zealous Christian on the other end of the phone opened my eye to something I could not see clearly before.
What I saw is where religion, the popularized version, and where modern spiritual teacherdom overlap and join forces to dupe you.
Before I start:
does your experience of yourself match these principles:
–you are already perfect.
–You are already divine, you just don’t know it.
No?
I didn’t think so.
Now, settle down for a few minutes of pondering: If that is so, if that is not your experience,

Why you should not trust your doctor, your nutritionist, your muscle testing…
Mental Representation… an incredibly useful distinction and an incredibly rare capacity
I loved the book ‘Peak, the new science of expertise’, until almost the very end. Then I got angry.
Somewhere around 90% of the book I noticed that he uses an expression, a phrase, that means something to him, the author, but meant nothing to me.
Now I know how you feel when you read my articles…
The expression he used was “Mental Representation“.
Knowledge, Strategy, Execution, is that enough for success?
I lead a workshop on Sunday. I had knowledge, I had strategy. I executed it. It was sloppy. What was missing?
I didn’t know. But “god” works in mysterious ways, the book I am reading has an answer that shows me what has been missing for me on Sunday and all my life.
The book, Peak, the new science of expertise, calls it Mental Representation.
Mental Representation is being able to see the finished product in your mind’s eye, and also see the process getting there, so you can anticipate missteps, and can correct, given that you

An Atlantic article: What does ISIS really want?
What ISIS Really Wants
The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here’s what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comme
Who are you? How do you define yourself?
I just read an article on the Monday Morning Memo and I cringed. It hit me what bs is being propagated as wisdom.
As you have seen, if you have been with me for more than a week, you would know that I knock the idea of beliefs being important to your success in life. And after reading Roy Williams article, I am also going to start to knock the idea that the why is what’s important.
What am I talking about? What is the why, and why should it matter to you?
Here is what is being taught in the entrepreneur field today: If your why is big enough, you’ll do what you need to do, to succeed. ((Entrepreneurs, strictly speaking, are problem solvers for others. But you need to
