I love reading. My favorite books tear down the proverbial curtain of the Wizard of Oz.
And my favorite activities… you could guess, are when I can tear down the curtain… and actually show the naked reality of things…
I find delight in it.
I used to be a dreamer, an escape artist, an avoider.
I saw reality so distasteful, myself so unattractive and unbecoming, that I went into daydreaming, and fantasizing, and imagery to find solace.

I haven’t become more attractive, but I have stopped hoping that being attractive, or heroic, or good, or altruistic, or brilliant, or whatever would buy me something I’d actually want.
The third thinking brain… immersion: the secret to mastery of life and growth
The first thinking brain, the genes driven brain creates a life of reactivity, full of fear, full of anxiety, full of sharp turns and devastating jerks. I’ve lived there… and I hated it.
The second thinking brain, the one that evaluates, reasons, figures stuff out, is slow and plodding, and hard work. Creates real solutions, keeps you out of trouble… but not really fun.
And then there is the third thinking brain… the work of thinking is done in the background, on the back burner, while the foreground is silent, resting, or busy learning something new..
That is where I live now.
I am getting a few questions about that, and I decided to tell you as much as I can see… the mechani
Pleasure seeking behavior… or more aptly let’s call it: avoiding pain behavior
There are two kinds of pleasure.
- Pleasure that is immediate, impulsive, and requires no or little sustained effort and
- Pleasure that is the result of work… sustained effort.
No matter what pleasure you seek, what makes it pleasure is the contrast: there needs to be pain for pleasure to exist. ((Hunger makes food pleasurable… lust makes sex pleasurable… tiredness makes sleep pleasurable…))
Although I could write about pleasure that you earn through hard and sustained work, and I have written hundreds of articles about it, people with too small capacity for pain rarely turn around and become people who want to earn their pleasure.
So in this article I’ll a
Are you happy with the results you are getting? Money, happiness, health?
Are you happy with the results you are getting?
In your efforts for money, in your efforts for knowledge, in your efforts for happiness, in your efforts for health?
One useful technique that you may try in your case is to invert the usual questions.
What are the usual questions?
How can I…?
Why can’t I…?
What can I do so I…?
Truth value… let’s talk about truth value
During the summer of 1966 I ran into a girl I knew from elementary school. Turns out she applied and was accepted to the same school I was going to start in that September.
We were having a chat. I remember thinking to myself: Compared to her I know everything… why am I going to school?
We both graduated. I am sure she still thinks she knows everything. My experience is that I know less and less as time goes by.
Whether you can identify with my 19 year old person, or my 69 year old person, and to what degree will be important, so jot it down.
This article will attempt to answer truth value.
What is the opposite of truth? I have no idea.
The chemicals in your food: are they a big threat?
The biggest threat to “them” is the man who stops jumping
There is an issue that I need to address: your trained Chemophobia.
You have been trained to bark up the wrong tree.
You have been trained to have Chemophobia, and it is bigger threat to your health than the chemicals themselves.
Why? For the same reason that you are attracted to film stars’ sex life… You don’t know chemistry, but you understand some words. So you are morbidly curious…

If you have ever been pinned down, not able to free yourself… …your trust of life, your trust in people, your confidence has dealt a big blow. Recovering is not guaranteed, and the wound can be torn open again quite easily.

Now, it is true that time goes one way, but we, humans, are equipped with a brain that is able to model, replay, and practice. I bet you haven’t taken advantage of that. One huge insight I had when I realized that the version of Freecell I have on my newer computers is the type where you can undo many steps… or even go back to the beginning and do it again. It did something to me. It changed my perception of life being irreversible. That lost is lost forever. That wh I caught myself this morning. I, somewhere along the line, decided that money is coins. As a kid, I collected coins in a wooden container. I stole coins from my parents’ coat pockets. I picked up coins from the dirt. I When you are young, and you don’t know you are an empath… life is very confusing. It was confusing to me until, at around age 50, I decided to grow up. So it may be still confusing to you. You feel being beaten when another is beaten. Very confusing. You feel their feelings, their emotions, and your own. It is often enough to push someone into schizophrenia. You are two people at the same time. If you are not strong enough, you are gone. Now, if your originating incident, the incident you made a big decision about yourself and Why is rape so traumatic, while sex is so commonplace?
If you have ever been forced to do something you didn’t want to do… anything…
Why the way you live, you can’t grow…
One of the reasons we don’t grow, is because the nature of time is that it goes one way. Spiritual work: money
In this article, I demonstrate what spiritual work is, through doing my own spiritual work… something I haven’t done, something that isn’t completed, but only started in this article.What is money for you? Pennies? Dollars? numbers in the bank?
This is just for my empath students…
