What ISIS Really Wants

from the Atlantic

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

Life, looked through the filter of games… Is life a game?

life-is-like-a-game

In the game of life, when you are losing, or not winning, the two things that can be missing are moves and DNA capacities.

The game goes the way the game goes, but you can play well and with a full deck, or not. Life deals a hand that you can play to win, and you can play to lose…

Each game in life has moves. Winning moves, and losing moves. You can have all the winning moves if you can’t see the consequences of your actions, you won’t win. And even if you see the consequences of your actions (capacity), if you don’t have moves, you still lose.

You have to have the capacities and you have to

You want to be special but you don’t want to do anything for it… not really.

mental states illustration... making energy visibleI was researching this whole Third Eye humbug on the internet.

Of all the “supernatural” abilities people want, this seems to take the prize!

People want to be special, want to stand out, what to amaze people, but they don’t want to pay the price. Please check if you are part of “people”. My hunch is that if you tell the truth, you’ll find that you are.

Now, what is wrong with this picture?

It violates fundamental spiritual laws.

What are spiritual laws? Why are they spiritual?

Spiritual laws are the laws of the invisible. Energy, for example. Energy is invisible. It can be made

How do you learn to tell low vibration from high vibration? Truth from falsehood?

“It’s easier to evaluate your results through drunken delusion than to gaze soberly in the mirror and face the truth.”

When something isn’t working in your life, your relationships, your health, your finances, there is something you don’t know.

The most frequent error people make is assume that what they know, how they know it, is going to make a difference.

The truth, the missing knowledge, unfortunately lies in the gray area of what you don’t know that you don’t know.

Unless something gets teased out, plucked out from that vast grey area, life will never change.

That vast gray area,

I found a missing capacity. I am now clear why you are not doing your spiritual work

flowers-or-weeds-chooseOK, if you have found yourself not being willing, or not being able to do the practices, or keep doing them: this article is for you.

I have been studying learning styles, thinking styles, teaching methods to make my teaching more effective. And while it wasn’t a waste of time, because it brought me to this day and this knowledge, it was putting the cart in front of the horse.

Today I recounted some effective teaching methods to a friend… They were effective to me. But when I looked at all the people who were exposed to the same teaching, same teaching method, same teacher, at the sam

Wideheld belief: you should already know… or that you should have to work for knowledge

Have you ever noticed that if a character in a movie or on a TV show is a good actor, you can bet that the person is from another country.

In the United States and Canada there is a wideheld belief that you should already know. That learning something is for other people, who don’t already know, and if you admitted that you need to learn something, it is akin you admitting of being an imbecile, or a lower type of person.

Now, in some rare cases people decide to learn something, and they go as far as getting an understanding, a surface understanding, and then they stop. I already know.

I don’t know of a profession that can be done well with no knowledge, but I can tell you, spiritual growth, causing your own evolution isn’t one of them: it takes more work than getting a Ph.D. and you can’t copy your paper from another… you actually have to do your own work.

If you every want to unhinge yourself from this commonly held detrimental belief,

A spiritual practice like no other… are you doing it?

What makes the “Stranger than Fiction” type of narration work like gangbusters to get you out of your head?

Stranger-better-than-Fiction-will-ferrell-272971_1024_768To my surprise not many people take advantage of the opportunity to watch a good movie and steal a habit that can be called a spiritual practice that can take you from a victim of your mind, to as near a human being as you can get in a few months’ time.

My energy level, my weight, my pain, stepping and rocking and what YOU can learn from that

granny with flexibilityI just got back from my weekly errand, and I am clearly not ready for a topic worth writing about. So how about many?

Just to tie loose ends… OK?

Why am I sharing what I am going to share? Because there is a technology, the technology of “NO TREE OF KNOWLEDGE” that you want to see working.

Topic #1: my energy level, my weight, my pain, stepping and rocking.

As you know (if you read my articles regularly) I have been getting old, heavy, and sore.

This year I had the idea that if I don’t get younger and more mobile, I will be stuck without a chance to move, to travel, to attend events…

More on stupid/smart

23979570Every success proves nothing. It can be luck, it can be accident, it can be smarts… you can’t be sure.

I am an architect by trade… and all my life as an architect I was wondering if I was talented. I could never say for certain. I could win contests, I could win awards, talent is not proven by them.

Finally I gave it up and sighed a sigh of freedom and relief.

You are the same way about being smart… or whatever is your issue. (Some people have an issue with being liked, loved, valued, respected, etc. But I think everyone has some issue with smarts. I could be wrong…)

My recommendation is that you consider the Forrest Gump saying: Stup

More on fitness and vibration… using my own example

stepperYou may need to do a lot of preparation work before you can start doing the work in earnest

As I said, raising your vibration is like fitness. ((Your IQ, as in intelligence, is also like fitness. The difference is that you can raise your fitness in one lifetime, but you cannot raise your intelligence in one lifetime.

Certain ethnic groups have been focusing on intelligence, understanding, mostly.

Other ethnic groups focus on fitness, speed, endurance, strength.

And yet other ethnic groups focus on survival, easy life.))

Vibration is like fitness: no matter your e
