My habit is to read one or two non-fiction books, cover to cover, the old fashioned way, and then about 600 pages worth of fiction. My choice of fiction is historical novels, mostly. I like the short and sweet novellas … Continue reading → Related Posts: Healing and the Placebo Effect Well Being, Aliveness, Energy, […]
Self trust… a linchpin capacity… or how do you develop yourself to be able to move forward?
Many of my coaching students are at a crucial point in their lives where unless something happens, they probably won’t move forward.
Fear, unclarity, self-centeredness, belligerence…
The main attitude is different. Not one person resembles another in what seems to block their path.
It’s the coach’s brilliance, creativity, insight that will either make a difference or not. What is clear is this: unless someone or something helps them through… they will stay this side of the great barrier.
Great responsibility, but I am up for it.
What is the capacity I need to be OK with this responsibility? It is self-trust. Self trust says: I can dea
More health knowledge… I’ve learned the hard way

You eat what you are, you crave what you areEvery plant, every animal contains toxins that it developed to protect itself from being eaten and extinguished… The selfish gene makes sure of that.
Your body, ancestrally, developed a liking and a tolerance to certain foods… that allowed it to survive.
It takes a long time for a group of people to create an ess with certain foods.
What makes the Japanese thrive may kill you… What an Irish can subsist on will kill you… What a Kenyan runner thrives on is murder for you… or can be.
With grocery stores carrying foods from so many continents you are not safe and you don’t thrive.
How many individuals do you know that thrive? I don
Stuck in an ess? Not a good place? how to create a new ess that is more conducive to health, wealth, and fulfillment?
OK, let’s start at the beginning. What is an ess… right? lol. Evolutionary Stable Strategy… ess.
Unless you are my student, or you’ve read about the selfish gene, you don’t know what I am talking about.
It’s about evolution. It’s about the genes that use life-forms as vehicles for their own purposes.
A pigeon is a life form, and it is a vehicle for its selfish genes.
A worm is also a life form, and so is an elephant.
Human is also a life-form, the only one, so far, that is in conflict with the selfish gene.
With the new phenomenon: consciousness, humans are at odds with their own genes… the “vehicle” is revolting again
Rules for a life that is not prescripted
I almost snubbed this link a reader sent me… She is quite talkative, so I thought it was b.s… but integrity didn’t allow me to skip it.
And I watched it, and wept, and laughed, and felt that those of you who read my articles, and especially those of you who have been working with me one-on-one, in my Reclaim program, should recognize at least three parts where he said it better than I ever could…
So here is your challenge: Watch the video. It is arguably one of the best commencement addresses… and because it has elements of attitude and beingness that actually work…
OK, here is the youtube video… don’t just watch it. Find the parts with the teaching… It will make a difference for you.

The way to comment is to say the distinction/principle he mentions.
If you catch all three, I have a big gift for you. If you catch one… I still have a gift for you.

The way scientists, medical practitioners, diet-cults, pharmaceutical companies work is called linear reductionism… (( noun A cognitive bias refers to a systematic pat the idea one has of one’s abilities, appearance, and personality. Do you know that people see you differently than you see yourself? And both you and other people see you differently than you actually are. You may see yourself worse or better or just plain different than you really are… and so do others. Your life would work better if the two views were closer. You’d h Said in another way, each person has a particular and typical to their soul correction way that is stuck in a lower way of being. The most frequent question I hear: how do you fix it? or as one my students said it: “this whole thing turns a lot of corners. I’m not sure i can even recognize all the ways i use it. Nor how to climb out of it.” The answer will surprise you: The moment you are trying to “climb out of it” or “fix it”… you enter a world of pretense. Both climbing out and fixing are the genes’ way of pulling the wool over your eyes. To push back Here are two examples: one is my own, the other is a student of mine… In the end I’ll ask for your input… please be generous. After I came to the USA, I worked as an architect for about 30 months. First I scoured the help wanted ads, and went on an interview with a prestigious Midtown Manhattan firm. They were impressed with me, my experience, and hired me on the spot with a salary that was four, nearly five times higher than what I made in Israel. On my way out I passed pictures of their completed projects and realized that this job would have no integrity for me: I w Stupidity? Yes, stupidity on a very deep selfish gene level. It’s not that they don’t understand the price they are paying. It’s that they make choices that the genes are making: not making waves, not bringing attention to themselves, not being different, fitting in is more important than being healthy, having energy, feeling good, calm, intelligent. Almost everything “social” is gene directed. I say “almost” because I am humble. I don’t know any social that is NOT gene directed, but there could be, maybe. So what do the genes want? The genes want to survive, and they want to pass into a new generation. Being liked, fitting in are Self-image: unless you see yourself doing it… you won’t do it.
Sounds simple, right? self-image means: how you see yourself… but nothing internal is as simple and as straight as that?
reductionism

1.
the theory that every complex phenomenon, especially in biology or psychology, can be explained by analyzing the simplest, most basic physical mechanisms that are in operation during the phenomenon.
2.
the practice of simplifying a complex idea, issue, condition, or the like, especially to the point of minimizing, obscuring, or distorting it.
)) and it is a cognitive bias. How do you see yourself? how accurate is your self-image?
The inner view and the outer view of who you are are vastly different. Your chances for success, love, happiness depend on the accuracy of your self-image. ((self-im·age

Soul correction is the pivoting point, the fulcrum around which a person can go from gene driven to someone who can become, potentially, an expanding human being. Breaking into a new field… how to do it right… or wrong
