Some people come around at some point. Some sooner than others.
The ones that come around tell me that after a while they actually could see what I pointed out. I respect them for that.
Ever since I embraced being stupid, integrated it into my personality, stupid became a phase rather than a conclusion.
What do I mean? Listen up, this is important!
When you look at something, you see what you see. (Same with hearing!) You see wh
There’s so much you want to learn, need to learn, should learn… so much, in fact, that you don’t know where to start.
Most people get inspired for some goal, sprint at max effort for 1-2 weeks, burn out, push the goal into the back of their mind, and never touch it again. New Year’s resolutions are a classic example. Campaigning.
Let’s look at how to improve your chances of success.
The first thing you should do is touch base with yourself. Ask: “Is what I want what I want?”
I know that is a funky question… of course… but ask it anyway! It may not be necessarily so!
Sometimes, we lie to ourselves about what we want. Other times, we are
Changeability, adaptability is the secret of living a consistently good life… but changeability and adaptability depend on awareness. As your awareness grows in the four pillars of the good life, so your success and the quality of your life…
By the way, did you notice I didn’t say “learn about awareness…” but that is what you read? Right?
In the old Forum program, the Forum Leader came in, screaming at us, poor unsuspecting brand new participants: For you everything is the same as everything else.
It took me years to decipher that and see that it is true.
In the Advanced Course they said the same th
Do you know what no feelings mean? You are dead… While you are alive life is ups and downs, good feelings, bad feelings, neutral feelings.
The fact that you can’t feel your feelings doesn’t mean they aren’t there…
Yesterday was a weird day.
First I fell victim to taking things personally. I’d like to say it was funny, but taking things personally is not fun.
The whole day passed without a single email, and also without most of my regular clients and students visiting my site. I was checking.
Late afternoon I started to contemplate that I have lost my customers.
Then I look
I’ve done a remarkable experiment.
It’s been remarkable because I didn’t mean to do it.
It’s been remarkable because what I’ve seen.
A week ago I got a “message” from Source, whatever that is, to stop doing the 67 steps. It suggested that something else should be started, but no indication of what that “something else” was going to be.
It’s just one week after.
Nothing has replaced the practice of doing the 67 steps.
I am sitting by my computer, and suddenly the thought floats up with the all too familiar feeling: “I should die. It’s not worth living.”

It’s been a weird couple of days. Every time I stop doing something my mind goes to evil acts I have seen in movies or read about in books. It started with the Marco Polo series on Netflix. I realized … Continue reading → Related Posts: Are You “Doing” Compassion Wrong? 5 Ways to Practice […] From her answers it has become clear that “using ego” is not a commonplace conversation, and that it needs instruction. So let’s see what ego is, and what it isn’t. Ego is a lot like a kitchen knife: you can use it for good, for useful, or for harm… kill with it. You can also use it to clean it under your nails… somewhat useful, but not the right tool… You can also call it bad, and ban it from your house. ((It is also a lot like a nail. It concentrates the energy so it can go through thick planks I meant to share student essays on how self-created rules keep them alienated from themselves, keep them playing safe and dead… not joyful, not accomplished, not living a life worth living. Then I changed my mind. I had two calls, where I was training, each, a person to take on a practice to activate the capacity to be with unpleasant, bothersome, disturbing feelings and actions. To be a MAN… This capacity used to be active in humans… but because of the widespread positive thinki So I have been curiously waiting for the “thing” to show up, and today it did. Actually it started two days ago, but I noticed it today. I need to get on the chiropractic table periodically to adjust my hip, or it goes out of shape to the degree that my thigh bone jumps out of its socket. That is very painful. So I got on the table today… and it’s a long process… and somehow I was looking into what started my hip pain, whe Astute people are happier, wealthier, more popular than others. Of course they are looking for a quick fix to what the opposite of astute is: blindness, unawareness, cluelessness, being a bumbling idiot, or not being able tell their elbow from their ass. I am not talking down at anyone… I was looking at myself to come up with those opposites. We are clueless some of the time, most of us: most of the time. Only people who are willing to go to hell and back can have real compassion and be happy.
Why do we have an ego, and how can we make it really useful? You don’t have any part that is not useful!
I just had a “conversation” with a student, where I suggested that she uses ego to support her growth. Where did this humanity-wide phenomenon of being so weak… living like a putz come from?
Putz: putz
noun
1. a stupid or worthless person.
2. vulgar slang: a limp dick.
verb: putz; engage in inconsequential or unproductive activity.
origin: 1960s: Yiddish, literally ‘penis.’ Skeletons in your closet… suppressing them suppresses all your life
I completed the third round of the 67 steps, and my intrinsic Self told me: it is time for another kind of practice. You need to be astute to know when to pursue a goal and when to quit
My site gets a lot of hits… people looking to find out how they too could become astute…
