Evolution, social genes, and brain plasticity

Your social genes haven"t changed in the past 200,000 years. They are still the same as when humans were hunter gatherers, the stone age. Social genes are the genes that define behavior.

Where do we see this? Hunter-gatherers were not adventurous. They didn"t go hunting again, until they had to. They preferred to share, to be nice to each other, that way they didn"t have to risk confrontation. This lived in clans, hunted in clans, and followed the leaders.

They judged everything by their first impression of it, or by prejudice: they didn"t experiment, didn"t stop to think, didn"t give second chances. A wolf in sheep"s clothing would be accepted as sheep.

And yet, this bunch of scared followers now live in cities, drive cars, study at universities.

How you do anything is how you do everything

How you do anything is how you do everything. I can spend five minutes with you and can tell your chances for success, for love, for money... even without measuring your vibration. Just by observing you...

You can also watch your behavior. Observe it when you can, observe it when I ask you to.

Now, go back to the article, Not all complaints are created equal... or just think about the word "complaint."

Watch if your knee jerk reaction is to turn away from it.

MY knee jerk reaction is to tell you to go away. But I"ve noticed it, and I know that asking you to leave will want you to stay... so I"ll just shut up, and let you fall off by yourself.



You know the joke:

Not all complaints are created equal plus a funny story to wake you up

This article may be the most important article you"ll ever read... This is not an exaggeration. Any day is a good day to wake up, but around these weeks of greed and herdlike stomping to get more stuff, it is especially a good time. So, as you understand, this is a wake up article...



We all say we hate complainers. And we all complain.

But is there any form of complaint that is not a downer, that is not a racket, that is a good thing?

I like to watch entire series of television shows on Netflix. If I don"t like it, I just start another one. No commercials, no TV needed, easy.

I watched Foyle"s War, a British series, and I was encouraged: well written, well played. So I started to watch a Swedish series, Wallander. Five stars... must be good.

Foresight is available only to sentient beings. Nature, the Universe, don"t have foresight

Foresight is available only to sentient beings.

What is the definition of enlightenment? What is an outlined path towards achieving it?

Great stuff I want you to read. I found this on Quora

When you read all the comments (there are tons of them) you can see how much tree of knowledge there is out there, wishful thinking, hoping that there is no work in becoming enlightened.

I think that if you are hoping to lighten your load, and start soaring, you have come to the right place.

How to raise your consciousness to raise your vibration... the connection is revealed in this article

Warning: this article is a little "technical"... if you are only reading for the fun of it, you"ll hate this article... Don"t tell me I haven"t warned you!



What needs to change for vibration to rise? Can an energy raise your vibration? Can changing your beliefs change your vibration?

Like with everything, things are best measured when you are your worst, including your vibration. When the s-h-i-t hits the fan. When someone pushes your buttons. When all your dreams come tumbling down.

Why? Because the rest of the time you are just la-di-da... no challenge. You fancy yourself safe, successful, high vibration, but it all proves to be a pretense when the going gets tough.

Of course, your dramatic mind can make every action feel the crucial action that your mind depends on... running late, clicking the wrong button, the computer malfunctioning, forgetting something...

I need your help to determine if the method in the book A Bug Free Mind works, or if it is hogwash, like most things out there.

I have been directed to this guy, Andy Shaw, who has made fortunes in real estate investing, and is now into self-help, mind-power, etc.

This is not for everyone: I just bought this two books, The Bug Free Mind, and Using The Bug Free Mind, and they cost a pretty penny.

Shall I measure your vibration when you are your best, or when you are your worst?

This week I have been working to make my vibrational reviews more accessible, easier to find. I didn"t realize: it"s a lot of work.

Then someone requested a vibrational review on a person I have never heard about. I started to investigate, and could not see how she can be so famous and such low vibration. Personal vibration 100, fame: through the roof.

Asking myself this question made my Reticular Activator start working in earnest.

Before it"s a mindset, it"s a skill... if you don"t build skills, you can"t change your mindset

Before it"s a mindset, it"s a skill

With that said, please understand, that no one can give you skills. Therefore no one can change your mindset. Your beliefs. Your stored memories. Your misery. Only you can. All those people that do voodoo, thought shifting, energy whatnot, chakra healing, and other instant b.s. are liars, cheaters, fakes, frauds, and impostors.

The decline of humanity, I think, began or was accelerated when people thought that because they understand it, therefore they can do it, and do it at will, do it well, keep it up, etc.

Everything requires skills, and skills need to be built. With practice, over a long time. Just look at crash diets: you lost the weight but you built no skills to eat correctly, to redirect your urges, so you will pack back the pounds and more... No skills, no slim body... very simple.

As usual, this review was prompted by a student"s email to me.

After I spent two days in pain from checking out an energy "healer" in California, I was quite scared to expose myself again.

Yesterday I clocked myself diligently every 30 minutes, and before I fell asleep, and woke up well and without pain. So here is the email and here is the review... interesting.

Good morning Sophie.

Could you please test this guy for me and if his products any good? http://trivortex.com/Andersen.html. My friend has a wellness shop in town and I used to work for her some. A year ago she sold me a Tri-Vibe and a Disc which I don"t use. http://trivortex.com/products.html. Apparently products do something because people report pain disappearing and water tastes better but I have muscle tested it against the body and it makes chakra"s weak and water to me tastes no different. Vortex is very strong I actually feel it. If I put it over my body it makes me dizzy.

Bio-electric shield and other gadget... a review

A students says:
Sophie, have you ever find a review of the Bio-electric Shield? It is a disk-shaped pendant that contains some quartz crystals. I had one for 15 years, and it was like my best friend. It seemed to he very attuned to my energy. When I first tried it on, I could only wear it for a few minutes. Then longer and longer.

It kind of fell apart and I lost it around the time I started working with you. Maybe its work was done.
I have tried Q-link, a variation to bio-electric shield. That was before I knew I was an empath. I only knew that other people"s energy was interfering with mine...

I hated it.

I sent out an email to my subscribers yesterday, offering them a rare opportunity to have their favorite teachers" vibrations measured.

Judging from the number of requests where the requester could have found my reading on my site, I got, that doing work, any work, is not what people do, they want something to get... without work.

I suspected that was the case, but now I am sure.

Why does this matter? Because to raise your consciousness, to raise your vibration, to live a life without the misery you now experience, you need to do work, and a lot of work at that...

From time to time I need to re-invent myself. Why? Because I get a "message" from beyond that, in a way, demands that I do some work and re-invent myself.

Addicted to Drama

What do I call drama?

Every negative, uncomfortable, unpleasant feeling that you feel, experience, indicates drama. A story played out inside you. While you are involved in that drama you are not involved in life, you are taking an entertainment break: your relationships, your health, your work will suffer as a result.

Some of us are even addicted to that drama: for all I know it creates a sense of aliveness for the morbid, especially for people whose life is otherwise empty, void of purpose.

Most people, to one degree or another, are ruled by fear. Most of that fear is fear of nothing-in-particular, just fear. And some of that fear is being afraid of getting hurt, of being laughed at, of looking foolish, of making a mistake, of losing face.

Alone

Alone is one of the itches we identify on my Itch.

An itch is something that you want, desperately, to come to you, from the outside. But even when it does, it doesn"t do it for you, it doesn"t scratch the itch. Only you giving what you want scratches the itch.

The perfect example is the fireplace: you want heat from the fireplace. After all the fireplace is supposed to give you heat and coziness, and romance, and a sense of home.

But in real life, you need to feed the fireplace, before it will give you heat... let alone cozy and romance and a sense of home.

When you have Alone as your itch, you are always disappointed, because no matter what you do, the alone follows you, like your shadow.

What it takes to get ahead in life, what it takes to raise your vibration from where you are now

We must admit there are people who do LIFE better than we do, they get ahead, they live well, seem happy.

How do successful people do it? They have good judgment. But where do you get such good judgement from? Good judgment comes from bad experience. And the bad experience comes from pain. What you do with it will make all the difference, what is your attitude towards it, will make you win in life, or stuck in life.

Panache Desai"s Soul Signature... Dissolving Density Programs and why they don"t work

Any program that talks to your mind, the automatic thinking mind, is doomed to fail. But first it will titillate, soothe, much like a lullaby of a mother.

Why cannot they change you, and actually move you up where your soul wants to go?

Because you are stuck on low levels, young levels, and to unstuck you from there requires work... work that may not be pleasant, but unless it"s done, you are stuck forever.

The teachers you follow, the teachers whose products you buy, have one thing in common: they can sell ice to an Eskimo.

And you, who buys their product: you have one thing in common: you hope that life is going to be easy, and that by some miraculous way you can wish yourself out of the deep hole you live in.

What if a narcissist isn"t what they say? What if it is a developmental glitch?

In my work to cause the next human evolution, I am coming to a startling realization: that humanity line of evolution is moving backwards... back towards the dark ages. Not on the same timeline it has evolved, but on a dead end line... instead of going upwards, it is going downward. ((It seems that the prophecies of the 1960 movie "Time Machine" and the book "Brave New World"... are onto something.))

Bedwetting... what is in common with schizophrenia... or how to drive someone crazy

All children are empathic. And all children must abandon empathy because of the pretense of their parents and care-givers.

Of course, some people are empaths... and they must learn suppression, avoidance, going unconscious for long periods of times if they want to remain sane.

Let me explain.

I grew up with two Holocaust survivor parents. They met in one of those camps where the Nazis collected the Jews before they transported them to a concentration camp.

Later my father impregnated my mother... and shortly after the boy was born, they got married.

My father was insensitive, and my mother didn"t love him. Then she got pregnant with me, and she put all her dislike of my father onto me.

According to some psychologists, I suffered from double bind: i.e. my mother"s feelings and behavior told two different stories. Impossible to reconcile, I went to the suppression route.

Happiness is simple, attainable, but...

I first experienced this when I was an architect in Israel.

I had a commission to design a two-family home. The relationship between the clients and myself became strained as soon as I was ready with the design: immediately they showed me who is the boss... they knew everything about designing, and building, and everything, without ever having to go to school for it.

Eventually I left architecture, because I thought that it was the only area where people considered themselves an expert regardless of their knowledge, experience, or licensing.

Turns out that this is the direction the world is going: fancying oneself expert without work

Change your brain... and you can change your life

It seems it is video-day here in my house... today. Mind you, I am not quite doing it for entertainment, I am looking for some solution.

In my coaching calls and even watching, observing myself, I have realized that some foundational skills are missing. They are the kind of foundation without which you simply can"t have what you want, you can"t feel better about yourself, and you can"t accomplish much of anything worth writing home about.

So I have to either find a way or make one, to teach you the missing skills.

In this case I"d prefer to find a way, after all if someone is already teaching it, why invent the wheel.

NEW: The secret method to instantly change life

http://www.yourvibration.com/wp-content/uploads/comparison_crop.jpg

Context is like meaning... it is not part of what it is referring to, it is added to it, by a human. And if it is added, then you have a lot of freedom about it: if you can see, that is.

Most people can"t see the forest for the trees... so if you are like that, you won"t see context, until you look deeper. Beyond the obvious. Beyond your automatic. Beyond your machine-like, conditioned, pre-determined ways.

Why context is decisive, and what it decides if it is so decisive

I have been repeating and repeating this idea, that context is decisive. Finally, yesterday, I managed to get it through, or so it seemed, on the Playground.

Context is the hidden part of everything, the hidden agenda. Everyone has hidden agendas, some more than others, some time more than other times.

Why would you want to connect to Source? Will it raise your vibration?

Let me start with the story of a famous thief...



Arthur Barry was described by Time as "The slickest second-story man in the East," truly one of the most famous jewel thieves of all times. ((The 7 greatest master thieves you’ve never heard of
We hear more about big time art and jewel heists in the movies than in the news simply for the fact that the main objective of any good burglar is to not get caught. Masters of disguise and often smooth talkers with a knack for getting in and out of even the tightest security environments, these master thieves were the best in the business.



Vincenzo Perguia, the Mona Lisa Thief. 1913
Vincenzo Peruggia: Vincenzo’s life of burglary was pretty short lived and really only had one highlight – the guy stole the Mona Lisa. Yea, the Mona Lisa, which is a pretty big deal, considering it’s probably the most recognizable painting in the world. In 1911, the former museum worker hid inside the Louvre over the weekend and slipped the painting under his painter’s smock and strolled out with it. Yep, it was that easy. Vincenzo kept the painting in his apartment for two years before being busted when trying to sell it to a gallery owner in Italy. Still, the guy had a pretty cool centerpiece for his bachelor pad for a while.

Frank William Abagnale, Jr


Frank William Abagnale, Jr.: Maybe the only living thief today who has had nearly as much success post his life of crime as he did while on the run. While he didn’t steal any priceless works of art, Frank used his cunningness to scam millions of dollars from banks through check fraud across 26 countries in a period of only five years starting at the tender age of 16. While other kids were working a paper route, Frank was jet setting across the Atlantic taking on the false identities of successful doctors and lawyers. After his FBI bust, Frank took up the honest profession of running a financial fraud consulting biz. Not all his glory was lost however; he guy still got Steven Spielberg to make a movie about him.

François Villon


François Villon: Francois Villon was a 15th century French poet who supported his himself through a life of crime (surprise – not much $$ in the poetry biz). Spending part of his childhood as an orphan before being adopted by a wealthy clerk, Francois was actually a good student. It didn’t last though and he turned to crime, joining a gang of thieves called “Gang des Coquillards” and began robbing churches and public offices. After his arrest in 1462 he was to be tortured and hanged, but had his sentenced was reduced to banishment. After that not much is known about Francois, but his poems continue to puzzle French lit majors to this day.


Bill Mason

Bill Mason: Bill Mason lived the life of a lot of American men, regular job, wife and kids, but on the weekends instead of going on fishing trips he preferred to steal millions of dollars in jewels from the high rise penthouses of the rich and famous. For 25 years, he lived a double life and became addicted to stealing valuables from celebrities like Bob Hope before being busted and serving five years behind bars. Which really doesn’t sound bad, considering estimates of his plunders are around $70 million. Instead of heading back to his cat burglar activities after prison the guy decided to write the bestselling book, Nine Lives. Not a bad way to capitalize on your follies.



Doris Payne
Doris Payne: The youngest of six, Doris Payne is the only female on our list and came from humble beginnings of a WV coal miner father – not exactly the classic makings of a 50-yr career jewel thief. Doris didn’t rely on fancy tools or gymnast skills to get the goods, but confusing the store clerks and causing them to forget while she slipped out the store. A master at sweet talking sales clerks, she’d try on multiple items before sneaking out with one or two pieces of bling, often selling them before she left town. Now 80 yrs-old, Doris spends her time in the pen, while talks of a bio pic with Halle Berry float around Tinsel town.



Alan Golder
Alan Golder: Besides the riches, international intrigue and possible movie deals one of the cool things about being a master thief is the nickname. Take Alan Golder “The Dinnertime Bandit” for example. Alan started his life of crime at just 6 yrs-old and by 21 was selling stolen jewels on the NYC black market. Often working for the Genovese crime family, Alan would sneak into the homes of such notables as Johnny Carson and rob them blind during their dinner parties. Spending much the 1990s behind bars, upon his release Alan went back to what he knew best, crashing dinner parties and leaving with a doggy bag of bling.



Charles Peace
Charles Peace: Quite possibly the most famous cat burglar in history, Charles Peace stood at just 5’4 and used his gymnast skills and elaborate set of tools to raid the homes and stores of London’s rich before finally being tried and hung for his crimes in 1879. Many knew his name, but few knew what the man looked like as a result of the thief’s masterful disguises. Wanted posters issued by Scotland Yard listed his age somewhere between 40-70 yrs old. His unusual life of crime has been the inspiration for dozens of books and films, so in a strange way crime does pay. Peace just wasn’t around to see the benefits.))
