I have added a new measure to the Starting Point Measurements: humility. Humility is the measure whether you can grow or not

True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Wrote Rick Warren in The Purpose-Driven Life, where it appears as part of Day 19, “Cultivating Community.” When you have “thinking of yourself” block or filter …

If you have a problem keeping your word… Part 2

I am finding out that you’ve been thinking in terms of to-do lists to get things done. I find to-do lists daunting. The biggest problem with to-do lists is that it kills the spirit in things. The second biggest problem …

Is it worth it? Is it worth the bother, the effort, the work?

I had an insight yesterday. One of the reasons people don’t like to try new things is because they cannot judge whether they can do it or not. Whether it will be easy or not. Whether it will be pleasant … Continue reading “Is it worth it? Is it worth the bother, the effort, the work?”

It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble, It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so

Concepts are the part of beliefs that make beliefs not changeable.

All the “gurus” who promise you to help you get rid of your beliefs are liars. They are selling you oceanfront property in landlocked Montana.

And you are buying them.

But Tree of Life words, your internal conversation can easily be seen as untrue or b.s. or a lie.

Why your brain doesn’t make you a winner… Or is your brain to blame?

I just had one of the most productive Sunday Rant call ever… and I just finished the third book in the Freak series, Think Like a Freak. Because it is about thinking, and because it is about frames it is … Continue reading

Undeclared commitments: what is under the hood

My horoscope often tells me what I should be dealing with, either for myself, or for you and me. This is the horoscope I received in my email box today, from Rob Brezsny: VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you were … Continue reading → Related Posts: Second Phase: How Bilocation Saved My Life Signs, God, […]

What is the purpose of life… and how to live it on Life’s terms?

In my quest to find like-minded people, who want to better humanity, I am watching videos, and am exposed the feelings of the speaker, commentator, or whoever is in the video.

What prompted this article is a bout of weeping… for no reason.

I am sitting here examining the context inside which this happened, and I Have had no reason to be sad, to weep.

So I ask, somewhat late, this usual question: is this mine? The answer is NO. Does this belong to one of my students? no. one of my readers? no. to the speaker on the video? yes.

Now, this was today. But whenever I watch a sales video… or maybe even read a sales email…

I get the feeling of the person who wrote it.

Most often: hope+fear: A perfect prescription for misery. ((

If you want to enslave a man, the best and fastest way to go about it is to rob the man of his common sense, his guidance system.

If you want to enslave a man, the best and fastest way to go about it is to rob the man of his common sense, his guidance system.

Train him to not trust his feelings. In anything. Train him that he can’t trust his feelings. Train him that all decisions should be made by men smarter than him. Train him that he can’t be trusted to made decisions about the education, the health about his children.

Train him by printing on plastic bags that they should not be put in the cradle… because a child may suffocate playing with it… Do this so the man will stop thinking for himself and start relying entirely on thing being given to him chewed and digested.

Give him the religion of positive thinking.

I never had to really learn it… so how I teach you to live in reality? The 13th floor

This article will be deemed self-aggrandizing, or something of that sort… and I don’t care. Truth is truth…

I am 69 years old.

I have lived, this is a 20/20 hindsight, my entire life on the 13th floor. Two months ago I would not have said that: I didn’t know there is such a thing…

Having live there all my life: I am having a real tough time to say how I got there… because I never lived on the 14th or the 15th floor… the 13th floor is reality, based on your sensory organs, not on thought.

My brothers did live on the 14th floor. Both. My father also lived on the 13th floor. My mother didn’t.

The biggest difference, looking through my own eyes now, is the meanings. On the 14th

“If the mountain won’t come to you, you must go to the mountain”

One of my favorite quotes from an ad is from the Men’s Hair Club… where the owner says: “I’m not just the president of Hair Club for Men, I’m also a client!”

I would never want to do business with anyone who is not also a client of their own business…

And of course, I am a client of my own. Meaning: I learn from what I write… and I learn and test everything first, before I recommend it…

With that said: to date the two most valuable nuggets I got out of my participation in my 67 step coaching program are:

  • 1. innovate your way out of the problem
  • 2. add suspenders to your belt.
