The question in your life is: who possesses who? Who possesses what?
But the answer to that question, albeit it is fashionable to think that the guy/gal with the most toys wins, will surprise you: the person who possesses himself wins, every step of the way.
I pretty much don’t know anyone with any level of self-possession: it can be measured.
People are like leaves blowing in the wind, flotsam on the ocean… out of control, hoping for a favorable wind… lacking what can only developed by rigorous practice.
Rigorous? Practice? Please stop laughing… you are out of control!
I’ve taken a break, recharged my batteries, and I am ready…
The first step I needed to do is to look at the courses I have already lead, to get a sense that in fact I CAN lead effective courses…
I listened into a whole lot of the recorded sessions. I learned that I have fun leading (I laugh a lot), that the material is amazing, and that the students love participating.
I have decided on doing the second phase activators course… this time with the new energies that eliminate the need for you to be connected while I download the activators… A good 20 minutes each hour was spent on making sure you are connected when I last lead that course.
Sometimes guidance comes from a student or client request.
Today I heard from a long time client who never managed to go from a to be… despite of the many courses she came to.
She had a difficult time accessing an activator, part of the Second Phase Activators (I downloaded more than 100 activators in that course!). I checked and she was right, somehow the video got corruteed in the more than three years it was moved around…
I listened to it and it dawned on me that without activating humility, of course you’ll never learn anything. Anything new, I mean.
Here is the article I wrote at the time, and in the meantime I am trying to rescue
Have you been wondering why public services and big companies employ semi-morons for customer service?
I am, I think, supposed to mention this, given how many times it has happened in the past week.
Not every customer service person acts stupid, only most of them.
So what is their stupidity about? They only hear what they know. The filter of their mind screens out everything that is not the three-four basic issues: refund request, payment plan request, return request… you know the kind most people will have.
For every issue outside of the ones that the solution is standardized, the cu
I read today’s Monday Morning Memo, as usual, and it made me look. (())
Who are my favorite fictional characters?
At first I looked at the ones that weren’t supposed to survive, weren’t supposed to succeed, because they paralleled my own life experience.
But their influence on the multitudes was minimal, because they were about themselves, or maybe about one other person… and I saw that I have grown beyond that path. I have grown beyond the little Chinese boy’s character, my favorite as a child. I have grown beyond the deaf and bl
On today’s Talk-to-me call I had an insight: I saw something I had never seen:
You are out of step with yourself.
The you that interfaces with the world is either ahead of or behind the you that you really are. The you that tries to look good, keep up with the appearances is always trying to fix the you that you really are.
No acceptance, no tolerance, no music, no harmony, no peace.
Let me set this straight: the you that you really are doesn’t need to change. That is who you are. On the other hand the you that you show to the world is off… mistaken, messed up…
So, simply put, the messed up one is trying to fix the
You 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.))
Everybody is looking for the easy, take a pill type of solution to life’s issues: fitness, relationships, money, raising your vibration.
One of my students has been coming back to the same article, over and over again, several times a day, because to him it seems like an instant, pop a pill type of solution to raising your vibration.
The truth is that pop a pill type of solutions either don’t work, or work counter to your intention.
Fitness is the easiest to see because it is visible… the others: it isn’t quite obvious
If you take a pill… you’ll not get fit. If it works and you lose weight, it probably caused damage, just as
The response to my beingness article has been a cry for help… Help to get you to beingness. This article talks about three ways you block the flow. There are, of course, a lot more ways, but we’ll start with these. When you release these, you’ve done 50% of the work to get to beingness.
We’ll look at the Three R’s, resignation, resentment, regret. We are going to create a turning point in our lives.
Most people wait for something to turn them and their lives around. We are going to take an active approach… we
As I have said before: the ONLY way to be happy is to accept what is, exactly. Accept how it is. And also accept how it isn’t.
Now, this second statement, accept reality how it isn’t is the topic of this article, the essence of this spiritual practice. Accept that it is what it is, not something else, that may look better, faster, easier…
One of the symptoms of not accepting reality the way it isn’t, is overwhelm… another one is misery… Want to know more?
Now, before I continue, I want to explain something:
