Warning: as always, the most important things are explained in the footer part of the post! Don’t miss them!
Some weeks are like this: I do something, see something, write about something important, and on Monday Roy Williams’ Monday Morning Memo echoes it.
This is the case this week… You know when you manage to do something whose time has come? Gratifying, rewarding, like the Universe nods in your direction. ((Roy Wil
OK, 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
About two years or so after I graduated from architecture school, I was assigned to manage a project. A big one. A university in Oran, Algeria.
I wasn’t assigned because I was so good. Looking back I was green. I didn’t have the vision. I didn’t have the big picture. I didn’t have even the small picture.
Then a new person came to manage the department, and he sent me back to be a draftsperson to prove myself from the ground up.
As any self-respecting arrogant person would, I said that I didn’t have to prove
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.
I had an interesting experience, very much in line with the Humility process I teach:
A client of mine wrote to me today recommending I check out a weight loss doctor. I did.
I went through an online self-evaluation which took me to a page where I could order my personalized regimen to lose the weight I carry on my belly…
I kept on bringing an open mind, curiosity… and finally ended up with what I could have started: I know nothing about weight loss… and I am not qualified to help people with their weight. Hm…
This may just be a legend… Yet, legends can teach…
Marco Polo was an Italian man who arrived into the Great Khan’s court. The Great Khan asked him and his two companions about the desert they had to cross to get to his court.
The two older men had little to say. Marco Polo, on the other hand, had a lot to say.
The two older men were banished, Marco Polo was given the role of advisor.
Why?
Because Marco Polo didn’t live his live with his consciousness buried in his mind.
WTF, right? What does that mean?
Mind and consciousness are not the same, don’t even live in the same
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
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
Let me repeat the process that will begin your active role in raising your vibration, that will begin your process of becoming a Human Being.
If you are offended that I say that you are not a human being, please give it up. Beingness is not available fully on the level humanity is existing, and if you live in the United States, you are even less likely to be on the level than people who live in countries where pretentious living is not the norm.
With that said, let’s see, again, what is the process. What is triggering this article, is the response I am getting to the a
