Living in the three levels of value, the systemic, the extrinsic, and the intrinsic, lived fully, and balanced, is the secret to the good life.
The Indian sages, including the Buddha, skipped the extrinsic. They taught people not to live there. They had a disdain for it.
But work is on the extrinsic level, making money is on that level, so skipping it means living a life of charity. Living a life where you cannot value another person on all levels… because you don’t value the values of that level.
Eat right, live right for your type… How to regain your health and vitality in a few weeks time
We each want to be unique, special, one of a kind. At the same time we want to be able to pigeonhole ourselves, so we can know how we are, so we can know what to eat, or what to pursue in life.
Are you healthy enough to have meaning to your life? Purpose?
Meaning: Following THAT Star. The alternative is Meaningless
This is my quest: to follow that star, no matter how hopeless, no matter how far.
Humans are strange animals: they need meaning to make their lives to feel more than just existing. They need purpose to give a backbone, to give direction, to transform a life of prose to poetry.
But life is, in itself, empty and meaningless… so how do you find the meaning, how do you find the purpose?
I was 38 years old when meaning first entered
Why should you believe me? Why should you learn from me?
I have been a spiritual, raise-your-vibration teacher for a while… and when someone asked what qualified me to teach, I could say that the fact that I did it myself, and went from a vibration of 185 to 930, consciously and with my eyes open.
Now, having done that is fine and dandy… but can I teach it? Good question.
But let’s look at another area: health.
At some point I got really clear that unless you have energy to do the work, unless you have coherence to do the work, unless you are well enough… I can’t help you much.
But I had a problem, an integrity issue: I myself wasn’t well enough to prove to you that I kno
It’s my 45th anniversary that I graduated from architecture school. I am old…
It put me into a walk-down memory lane mood, and I revisited some events in my life I haven’t remembered in decades.
For example the only person I ever saw as compatible, left after a few weeks, without saying good bye.
I could grieve it, but I think it was fortunate. I loved him too much…
When you love someone or something too much, you put your own self interest on hold, and become a slave to that person or thing…
In hindsight this is why I was so disproportionately captivated and mortified by a “Criminal Minds” episode, where the wo

Hippocrates said: food will be your medicine.
Let’s look at that statement from my experience with myself, and with my clients.
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.
– attributed to Hippocrates
Lay people (you) jump into conclusions… and jump from one superfood to the next, from one fad to the next, from one magic bullet to the next.
Modern (ineffective) medicine attacks this statement.
Energy medicine attacks this statement.
This is the worst news for any he
Just because someone’s vibration is low today…
…it doesn’t mean that they are a bad person. Or that vibration, that future is set in stone…
Your vibration is an accurate snapshot of where you are on the vibrational scale today.
Your guru, your spouse, your boss… or yourself could jump to a whole new level of vibration even without any spiritu
What is health?
A German who escaped just before all the Jews were hoarded into concentration camps in Germany, came to the United States.
His name was Robert Hartman.
His experience with evil uniquely qualified him to set out to deal with the age long question: what is evil, what is good?
He took on himself to define good… the strait and narrow. Many philosophers failed in that: after all the strait and narrow is delineated by the land that encloses it, not by itself…
But he succeeded.
Your heart, where rain forests and colorful birds, and life used to live, is devastated. The lush rain forests gone, the birds gone, life: gone. Your ups and downs are tiny, not like a roller coaster. They are about money, or noise, or that you are fat, or skinny, or that you are aging. Irrelevant circumstances. Maybe it is about someone being sick, maybe dying… but that is also a circumstance. Amateurish performance, amateurish life. ((Your level of fulfillment is exponentially correlated to the amount of effort you invested. Easy: no fulfillment. Hard, lots of effort, hardship: lots of fulfillment.)) How dead are you? If your life is not a roller coaster, then you are not alive.
What you are, instead alive, is a walking dead, resigned, and settled for the little that, it seems, life has to offer. To you. You see others, seemingly happy, seemingly alive, and you feel regret, shame, and envy. The capacity of seeing patterns…the threshold capacity
I am reading a book, Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise. I am reading it because I want to be able to teach my students better, so they can leave behind the level of ordinary school learning, the pedestrian learning that always produces pedestrian result.
