Could you, can you have a great life without ever adding a spiritual capacity to your arsenal?
This question has never been asked of me, so I am asking the question, for you, on your behalf.
Because we are starting to see that keeping spiritual capacities on is not the easiest thing to do… unless…
I’ll talk about that unless later on in this article.
So, what is the answer?
The answer is surprising: you can have a great life without ever adding a spiritual capacity.
People throw around the words: self-expression, but I have never found a person who knows what it means.
Most people look how you express yourself not what it is you express… This article is about “what” not “how”… What is the Self you express with everything… your life, your job, your relationships, with your music, poetry, and your life.
There are two selves, and the reason life doesn’t work for most of us is because the two selves are not connected in any way. Self 1: your genes, your desire to survive and procreate. Self 2: your human desire to be higher than just your genes… to live your higher self.
Self in the expression of th
My disastrous conversation with the zealous Christian on the other end of the phone opened my eye to something I could not see clearly before.
What I saw is where religion, the popularized version, and where modern spiritual teacherdom overlap and join forces to dupe you.
Before I start:
No?
I didn’t think so.
Now, settle down for a few minutes of pondering: If that is so, if that is not your experience,
Life, happiness, well-being, prosperity is achieved and maintained only on a narrow and hemmed-in path (the strait), the opposite of what you wish it were, the opposite you see others have, the opposite you see on television, on ads.
You have been duped. You have swallowed the lie, hook, line and sinker and you have been paying the price.
Your life is empty, purposeless, meaningless, and you have nothing to look forward to.
Last night I was pondering, instead of sleeping, ((which is quickly becoming my new habit, I mean not sleeping,)) what is the behavioral, emo
Tuesdays are my days to interface with people who are neither my readers, nor my clients.
Ordinary people. And although it is very frustrating to me, and maybe even them, I learn a lot from these unpleasant interactions.
Ever since I read The Selfish Gene, a book, and even more since I read the book “Why beautiful people have daughters” a look on life through evolutionary psychology, I am trying to match what I read with what I see, hear, and feel.
It’s a fresh new way to look at people, and a lot more forgiving than th
The mind was born when language was born. New… compared to the body and its intelligence.
When you live in the mind, you are cut off from the source of your intelligence, and from consciousness.
This means different things to different people… visual, auditory, or the most cut off… the abstract thinker.

Real life is the game that – literally – everyone is playing. But it can be tough. This is your guide.
You might not realise, but real life is a game of strategy. There are some fun mini-games – like dancing, driving, running, and sex – but the key to winning is simply managing your resource
Unless you’re winning, most of life will seem hideously unfair to you.
he truth is, life is just playing by different rules.
The real rules are there. They actually make sense. But they’re a bit more complicated, and a lot less comfortable, which is why most people never manage to learn them.
Let’s try.
I could also have made the title: your horoscope and your ego’s role in it, or your soul correction and your ego’s role in it.
There is a lot of different ways people define ego, but what if the ego is none of those. Not what Freud called ego, not what gurus call ego.
What if the ego is simply the mechanism by which the Selfish Gene perpetuates itself… like an old dog that is un
Did you notice that we are not talking here about IQ? About ability?
No, the behavior ascribed to the stupid and the behavior of the wise can and often come from the same IQ.
The ability to do things differently can’t be accessed without a modicum of humility. Modicum means: a little bit.
Humility is a capacity, an attitu
