Reframing: is losing weight hard? is it hard work? or is it something else?

  I went grocery shopping today on my own. I was carrying some 20 lbs of groceries up the steps to get home. I ran into Leo, my musician friend. I explained to him that carrying those 20 lbs of groceries illustrated to me what it was like to climb the steps a year ago, … Continue reading "Reframing: is losing weight hard? is it hard work? or is it something else?"

The mind is an answer finding, meaning making machine

So I am sitting here... and this wave of hopelessness washes over me. I observe my mind that goes and tries on different memes to make sense of the feeling.

"No matter what I do...." the whining voice says.
"It"s hopeless... give it up!" says the authoritative voice.
"You are worthless... who do you think you are to think that you are any better?"

None of these are mine. The feeling comes from my next door neighbor who became a "Christian" to feel better, but it"s not working for her.

Are your vibration, your starting point measurements just a bunch of numbers?

I am interested in deciphering the relationship between numbers, scores in your Starting Point Measurements.

I can see, that without a comprehensive and accurate understanding of what causes what, what is cause, what is effect, you may not know how to change the "geography" of your life. You will be stuck where you are... or only move accidentally... so I do see the urgency in this move.

I am expanding the scope of the work I put into measuring your Starting Point Measurements to Enlightenment, to becoming a human being, even though this work more than doubles the time I have to spend with it. Eventually I"ll raise the price, but not yet.

Why? For one, I want to know. But more importantly, instead of giving you a bunch of numbers, maybe I can make them useful... What and idea, right? lol.

So here is the first group of numbers that I have analyzed:

The word of Good and Evil, and other memes. How the wrong yearns to be fixed...

I field a lot of emails in a day. And some of those emails are goldmines, because they reveal the wrong ideas that people entertain, the wrong premises on which they build their actions.

In this article I will go deep, root level, and I will also go higher... because wrong premises can infect you on all levels.

Here is the latest:

MVP... Life"s most valuable player? Minimum viable product? What is the connection?

Confession time: I have a very small window where I experience being physically well. Or emotionally well. I am not very sturdy.

I have a tiny tolerance to heat, a small tolerance to cold, a small tolerance to running on empty.

Especially painful and unsettling for me is running on empty... while you, while most people spend their daily energy allotment on trivial things, and then run on fumes all day.

For me, that is unbearable, intolerable, hell.

Are you worth a damn? What is your deserving factor? Where do you look to answer?

In this article I will use "deserving factor" and "your worth a damn factor" interchangeably. Do they mean the same thing? I don"t know. My clarity, even after having written this article is 70%... Compared to the 10% it was when I started writing it.
I just came back from climbing the steps for the second time.

I went back to step 1 on my 67 steps. I am finding that the foundational steps are really foundational, and I better hang out there a few times, to really harvest the value of the whole 67 steps.

The first step is about your deserving factor.
Tai says that you have what you have deserved.
But I noticed, that instead I hear something else: I hear "my value..." or "how valuable am I?" so my precious "I" starts worrying.

Wrong beliefs? Cannot move from A to B? It"s not your fault! It"s the system

When people speak about beliefs that they want to get rid of, let"s say, belief about money, abundance, they always think that there are some personal beliefs there, that they are discreet, and that they can get rid of them.

Back in my times when I was doing Fourth Plane energies, "designer energies", one of the moves I had is to make my hand sticky, and pull beliefs, also called thought forms, from myself and from clients.

It was a long process. Hard on the muscles...

Your world is dominated by the invisible. Get to know it... or else...

Your world is dominated by the invisible. And the invisible is like muddy water, every shyster has their hand in it, stirring it. ((No matter who you are, you are infected with memes. Being able to distinguish pieces of knowledge, words, as memes, gives you an opportunity to choose.

Some memes are more restrictive than others.

Kabbalists, Werner Erhard, great philosophers... no one is an exception. The less you allow memes to create a fixed universe for you, the more innovative, and the more "real" your view becomes.

The meme of the kabbalist, the consciousness based teaching seems very freeing and useful... until you add some "Creator" into the mix... which would make it religious...

Some, so called Kabbalaists, like Yehuda Berg, has incorporated modern New-Agey memes into his teaching, rendering it quite harmful.))

But this article will be about you. About your chances of being able to live a life worth living. Largely. I mean worth living most of the time.

Why not all the time? And why not gloriously?

It is too much to ask. But compared to the tasteless, joyless, have-to life you now live, a life worth living, for most of the time, is an amazing thing...

So what is the invisible part, the muddy water, that dominates your life? That makes you not enjoy life, that makes you want to go to sleepwalk, to not feel, to not be present?

It is the memes, partially, and it is you, partially.
You have no distinctions...
Let me give you an example that will shed light to what distinctions are, and why they are important.

Let"s imagine that you prepare for heart surgery.

Earl Nightingale spells out the small (tiny) steps method... and everybody misses it

I just listened to this Earl Nightingale talk... eleven minutes or so.

I had never heard it...

It struck me how everything was invented so many times in history... and however many times it was invented, like how to get from where you are to being in the top few percent of the world, millions of people can listen to you and they will miss it.

Why? Because, I think, because opportunity comes in work clothes... Opportunity looks like work. And what people hope opportunity is is like a windfall... it befalls you... lol.

What is the keystone that holds together your life? Invisible to you...

I have a next door neighbor who feels miserable most of the time. As an empath I am forced to feel it. No escape. Can"t cloak myself, can"t shield myself.

Yesterday, at 10 am she went into massive fear mode... So I had the idea to test if I can use the Heaven on Earth to ease her distress. I downloaded and pushed Heaven on Earth, the energies, across the two driveways to her, and it eased her misery considerably. To bearable level.

But then, a few hours later, she had a new wave of misery... this time it was anxiety... so I asked Source "what"s wrong with her that she has so many bad feeling for so much of her day?"

I noticed that my question to Source already revealed a "meme"... there must be something wrong with her to feel so bad.

Can you change? Will you be able to change, even if you never could?

This article is a stream of consciousness... Beware, it is like poetry... you have to feel it, you can"t explain it.

Cultural memes, media bias, tell us that change is fast and dramatic.

So when you consider your own change, that is what you are planning for, or that is what you resist.Even if not changing means staying at a place where you don"t enjoy being. But of the two bad things: dramatic change or staying miserable, staying miserable is still more attractive, because at least you know that place.

But cultural memes, media bias, are lies.

Actually, all memes are lies. It was, maybe, someone"s truth, but it is not THE TRUTH.

Only physical laws are THE TRUTH...

Still think memes are innocent?

I have been talking about the memes... and it seems that I haven"t spoken clearly the point.

So let me take a stab at it, and I"ll try until it"s so clear that most people will get it.

A meme is a though form. Words. Some rule, some principle, some saying that says something about how the world works, how you should be, and what is good and bad.

The Tree of Knowledge houses the memes. They live their incestuous life there and they come from there to infect you.

The truth about probiotics

OK, this is going to be mostly good news...

I sometimes get lucky. A generous person lets me know exactly what are the sentiments that dominate my readers.
Right now I have this special offer for health muscle testing.
Two things special about it:

1. I let you in and I"ll measure you, without you having to talk to me. And from my point of view: without ME having to talk to YOU... Less time, less emotional load on me.It"s also that you can get your measurements and put them aside... no accountability to me. I won"t call you on it. You are off the hook.
2. I have a big discount. For the first time. And maybe the last.

Now, let me show you what this reader wrote to me this morning:

I have been dreading to sign up for your testing offers...
or better: to get the results. It"s kinda silly. The getting off milk has been intense and still is a challenge, going to the grocery store - there"s still a part of me that craves bread and pasta and cake and cookies and chocolate and cheese and yoghurt and fruit and carrots and whatever... and it feels like signing up for a death sentence.

Now at least I can pretend to not know... but then I"d have a list, black on white.... non-negotiable.

And you"ll end up with a serious case of "learned helplessness" where you see that in a field where no one has the answer is all you can do is throw your hands up, or try everything and its opposite. All that knowledge will victimize you...

OK, the topic we"ll dig deep on is frustration.
But before I go on, let me share something that happened to me when I was around 29.

Updated: Soul Correction: Finish What You Start

Soul Correction: Finish What You Start
New insight 10/7/2017

I break a lot of eggs every day. I like to eat the yolk separate from the white. So I separate them. The egg white is like snot... No definite shape, no commitment, sneaky.

This is how "Finish What You Start" behave, like the egg white... Avoid being called to account, avoid to be a person who can be counted on.

This seems to be the crux of this soul correction.

I see this soul correction on Scott toilet paper as well: it kinda sorta has a sheet size, it kinda sorta has perforation, but it won"t tear at the perforation... It tears where it wants to tear...

A "Finish What You Start" product, avoiding any accountability, whatsoever. lol... frustrating to me, who likes to have things done.

Looking at the vise... try to control egg whites with a vise... ugh, ugly.

New insight 5/20/2017 courtesy of a student:
Ok.
Today some new things came to mind..
I realized that i live in a vise like pressure i put myself in.. i always do for some reason.. i"m looking at why. i feel its false adopted beliefs.

How i noticed is that thinking about all the reading and the diet the saying no to things and yes to others .. being disciplined and adding structure feels like work , like i have to make it happen.. then i remember my life before.. i was pulled in a thousand directions at once and completely running myself down on things i (wanted) to do..

So today i imagined what it would feel like if i didn"t have anything i had to do or not do.. i ended up thinking id have a nap or just go for a slow walk.. then i realized that the reading and listening and structure and the diet.. all the things i (have ) to do, will make my life so much easier and meaningful than it has been , and i started to actually feel like it is my vacation , my relief.

No amount of right will fix something that is wrong.

Prepare to be spinning with this for a while... Because this article can scramble your reality, like spinning can... Which way is up?
But for the few of you that this is what was missing, it will be like a cool hand on your hot forehead... Soothing. Panacea.
Because, truth be told, your reality is scrambled, and this article has the potential to unscramble it. Again and again.
Because the nature of personal reality is that it is scrambled, and tends to stay scrambled.
No amount of right will fix something that is wrong. At least this is how it looks on the surface. But what is the right and what is the wrong? and is it true that what is wrong IS wrong? ((This statement in the title is really tricky. What is wrong? What is right? The moment you can ask that question and instead of knowing your answer right away, you can ponder... that is the beginning of a freeing yourself from the consciousness that has entrapped you.

Mind you, you may need to do this daily! Because, believe it or not, no amount of right will fix something that is wrong... and what I mean now, is that your floor is WRONG, as in not accurate, not truth based, made up, bullcrap... and never was right, as in accurate, or true.))

Clarity is one of the things we ALWAYS lie about. It"s like the speed limit... or not thinking about sex. It is a built in landmine to make sure we are never in integrity.

ADMIRE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!

"Admire as much as you can. Most people do not admire enough."
- Vincent van Gogh

Admiring people who are worthy of our admiration doesn"t cost us anything. Same with admiring animals and plants and natural phenomena: no pain involved. Same with admiring great accomplishments by our fellow humans: no agony or agitation required.
I have said it before: being able to admire, to being in awe is one of the most uplifting and purifying experience. Now you know who you are, in relation to that which you admire, and you know where you are going.

The above is a quote from Rob Brezsny"s newsletter. Of course Rob Brezsny is a "wearing pink color glasses" type of person, who refuses to see shadows. So here are the shadows that get revealed when you attempt to admire someone:

Is science wrong? Are you smarter than scientists? Who should you trust?

This article has a time limited offer at the end... don"t skip it!

It is not enough to call yourself a mad scientist, I learn. You may be mad, but unless you know the scientific methods, you are just mad, playing around.

I am writing this for full disclosure.

Science has a bad reputation nowadays, mainly because of two reasons:

1. the public doesn"t know that science is rarely able to get to the cause of anything, so the expectations are too high, the disappointments are too low. it is more comfortable to listen to fake science, fake doctors, fake gurus. At least they don"t make you think.
2. the fact that scientists are not independent of biases, self-interest, and such, renders their results highly dubious, questionable, etc. And in some crucial issues, this threatens the general public, like in the issue of A1 milk, the issue of GMO, the issues of pesticides and other harmful stuff we are forced to eat.

What is the opposite of entitled?

Every generation is more entitled than the previous one. Why? Let me explain...
If appreciative is the opposite of entitled... does that mean that all those people who are not appreciative are entitled?

Entitled ((en·ti·tle·ment entitlement; plural noun: entitlements

the fact of having a right to something.
"full entitlement to fees and maintenance should be offered"
synonyms: right, prerogative, claim; More
permission, dispensation, privilege
"their entitlement to benefits"
the amount to which a person has a right.
"annual leave entitlement"
synonyms: right, prerogative, claim; More
permission, dispensation, privilege
"their entitlement to benefits"
the belief that one is inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment.
"no wonder your kids have a sense of entitlement")) is a worldview. It is a ground-of-being phenomenon, invisible, like the floor. An unexamined truth. To you. But for the other, it is quite obvious... ((This is why the saying "an unexamined life is not worth living" is true... If you have no idea what makes you miserable, you can"t do anything about it.))

So how do you know that you are not appreciative? that you are entitled?

This is how:

Even when you thank someone, they frown...
You may even be diligent in thanking someone, you may even feel a stab of thankfulness, but those thanks are the waves on the waters, not the bottom of the sea... The bottom of your sea is entitlement.

Your life is like a boat on sea... Where it"s going is given by the drift 96%

Every learning is becoming. Every action that is aimed at learning but doesn"t lead to becoming... is not learning, it is just a pretense. Treading water. The drift.
But becoming is not easy, and it takes longer than you would expect. OK, longer than I expect. Longer than I have been expecting... :-(
Why? because some of the learning requires you to be "right there", ready for that particular learning. You first need to become ready.

How do you think of yourself less? What does that mean? Thinking of others? Becoming a do-gooder?

OK, I am going to clarify something that myself don"t quite know how it works, and why it works that way.

So it may come out incomprehensible, botched up, and useless. But, in my view, it is worth to try...

Note: if you only read one example, make it #5!

OK, the issue: one of the measurements is to what degree your life is about you and your life... the words I use I borrowed from someone else... ((True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less.)) and the words are "to what degree you think of yourself"... as a measure of humility i.e. how much room you have to learn and grow, how much room you have for the world, for work, for life... for others.

Discover what is special about you, what makes you you?

In the exercise, "what do you want to be acknowledged for?" you have a chance to discover what is special about you.

To be able to love life, to do fulfilling work, you need to know and organize your life around what is special about you.

I just acknowledged a woman for what she wanted to be acknowledged for.

I have known her for some time, but it turns out: I didn"t know her at all. The organizing principle was missing, so I added my opinion to organize her around in my mind: scared.

But it turns out that she moved from one country to another to start a new life, away from a husband she no longer wanted. Start a new life without a support network, from scratch.

Knowing that about her I can support her more effectively, because now I know that she can. She has done it before, she can do it again... because that life experience is a lot like starting and running a business... no safety net, no real support, no umbilical cord, no running back to mama.

So the underlying question, under the "what do you want to be acknowledge for" is "what makes you you? what did you do that is special. what special qualities do you bring to life?"

I am going to use myself as an example:

I may have an abundance of things I feel special, or others would say I am special,

Others" opinion doesn"t matter. What YOU say matters. This is important! We are listening in to your Self... with capital S.

The conversation I had the other day with the woman from Syracuse has proven to me that what others think about me is none of my business... as in: it is showing me from their vantage point... and living a life to please others is a life not worth living. I think this is what happened to many comic geniuses, Robin Williams, or Jim Carrey... Robin Williams killed himself, Jim Carrey re-invented himself.

https://vimeo.com/226379658 (())

You want to be the one who re-invents himself or herself. OK?

So, back to me:

I have found that I have a unique ability to hold, manage, and keep lots of plates in the air spinning... in every area of life. That includes 20-30 acquantances, even if they are present all at the same time.

I remember their names, their stories, their pains, their pleasures... and it is fun for an hour or two a week. But it is empty, for me. It is fun, like an exercise. But not what I want my life to be about.

It"s taken me a lot of time, many decades, to develop this capacity, it is useful, but only as a tool.

So what is special about me that others may not know, but I can and want to build a life on and around?

The fact that I can connect to any person, or nearly any object at will, if I see their picture or if I have seen their picture, is unique about me. I don"t have to use my mind to imagine, visualize, or throw a cord at them. I just connect... is a special thing about me.

The fact that I can connect to Source, whatever that is, and create a "threesome" is another unique thing about me.

I make decisions really slowly. One may even accuse me of procrastination...

Let me correct that: I consider most decisions I make a test. Experiment. Rough draft. ((I am talking here about important decisions. To read one thing or another, to have one thing or another for lunch, and things like that have already been decided: I only have food that I can eat, and I only have books I should read one time or another. I don"t want to spend my precious glycogen supply on puny unimportant inconsequential decisions... but I bet YOU do!))

Huh?

Yeah, I thought so. I thought it will sound foreign... But you will learn something, through this article, that is not common knowledge... and it is even new to me!

Decisions are an expensive activity for the brain. Any choice is. Important choices and unimportant choices equally use up a renewable resource, for ease of language, I"ll call glycogen, although it may not be that.

You wake up with more of that glycogen... it replenished itself during the night... If your sleep is restless, then you won"t have your full stores of glycogen: ever since that nurse moved to the next house, my sleep is restless. Even with the audios... Mind you, I have tried to sleep without the audio, and slept a total of 58 minutes that night. With the audio I wake up a few times, and dream or solve puzzles, or write articles in my mind, but I sleep and wake up rested. So...

And yet, I have less glycogen than if I slept through the night without working in my sleep...

But I digress... What I really want to teach you is...

Is consistency THE winning capacity?

I am on my eighth round of the 67 steps.

Obviously I am following what I learned when I was nine: you can spend a whole vacation reading a book, or a lifetime listening and working with 67 audios and not get bored with it.

Or the way Bruce Lee says the same thing: I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

I have grown more in these 19 months than in any similar period in my life.

But...
Most people I watch are not present to what they are doing: it is habitual, which means mindless, stuck, plateaued.
CLICK TO CONTINUE

What do you want to be acknowledged for?

I am lucky. Life always offers me plenty to write about. ((When you are bored... it is because you are boring!))

People say I am prolific, and if you look at my results: I write a lot. But... but if you asked me what I want to be acknowledged for, I wouldn"t say: for the number of articles. The number of articles only shows the tip of the iceberg.

I"d like to be acknowledged for my ability to see everything as part of the whole... and therefore relevant to us, to humanity in our quest to go to the next level of evolution.

If you poke into what it takes to be the way I view the world, you"ll find that I have a really really wide cone of vision inside which I see thousands of things clearly and distinctly.

All that while I am a tad petty about how I am viewed. lol.

What do mad scientists do? And why are they considered mad?
Mad scientists go beyond the obvious. They go beyond the visible. They go beyond the socially accepted map of reality, that is obviously faulty.

They are mad because they don"t care if they fit in. In their world, in my world, you are mad if you want to fit in.

Fitting in means dumb, superficial, gullible, manipulable, ignorant, sick, tired, and aimless.

So your reason to be here is all caused by what you find most important: to fit in.

The role of curiosity in how far you can go in life

I am following the teaching of a guy who teaches marketing...

Marketing is having something to sell, finding buyers for it, and selling it mostly through audio, video, or the written word.

The company that is the best at it is Agora Financial. So this marketing teacher went to Agora to find out how they teach tens, maybe hundreds of people to write in a way that Agora"s marketing is so extraordinary.

Now, whether you know it or not, we are all in sales, and we are all in marketing. You, me, everyone.

Some of us are good at it, most of us are not.
Some of us accept that we are in marketing, and most of us don"t.

When you are a mad scientist then the world is your laboratory...

I am sparkling today with insights.

Yesterday, just before the skies closed on the Days of Power energy, my friend reminded me to refill my cup again. And I did... and today my world is showering me with insights.

About your expectation and reality... The gap... the discrepancy... and how you don"t learn from it.

What should you work on to raise your vibration?

Your Bach Profile... a tool for abundance

The first question everyone who actually wants to grow, raise their vibration, and stop being sick, dumb, and poor asks: so what do I do first?

Of course this is a good question... but until this week I really didn"t have a reliable answer. I didn"t have a good answer. I actually didn"t know...

But this week this is opening up, and I have been able to see some answers.

Of course when I have a chance to spend an hour or two with you, I rarely have a problem... but I rarely spend an hour or two with a complete beginner, unless they need a health consultation.

But my newly re-discovered tool, the Bach Profile is proving to be invaluable.

Master your emotions by mastering the Amish Horse Training Method

If we didn"t have words, we would have no emotions. All emotions come from words... some are yours, some are not...

The Amish Horse Training Method is to be able to hear all the words that create emotions... and hear them in a way, that gives you a choice to honor them or not, depending of the source of the words, the relevance of the words...

The Amish Horse Training Method returns you to the driving seat of your life...

Not surprisingly, for most students the first step towards mastery is mastering their attention. Unless you can control your attention, you are a putz... and are controlled by someone or something, but not you. And for you to be you, you need to call the shot.

The luckier students admit that they have a difficult time sticking with a book... because they can"t pay attention to it, they can"t understand, or they can"t remember what they read. Or the do a narrative, argue with the book, agree, disagree... but have no idea what they actually read. They remember the arguing.

Abundance is mastery ... an article series. When You Master One Thing, You Can Master Anything

Master your fears
The opposite of fear is not courage, not fearless... it is abundance. And Abundance is mastery. ((Most people"s life is not about living, not about being, not about doing, but about having... and they associate abundance with having. Wanting to have makes you wretched. Because your "ground of being" your iceberg below sea level is about desire... but unfortunately desire is like a leaky pale... you can"t fill it, you cannot keep it filled... So life becomes about wanting... And wanting is about lack...

No amount of having fixes that you don"t feel good about yourself. No amount of having fixes that your attitude about life is that it is wrong... etc.

There is no such thing as abundance, abundance is a concept, and we can make an agreement what meaning will constitute abundance and fulfillment. Abundance and happiness. Abundance and health.

So this is not a physical truth, this is an empirical truth: having lots of stuff is not abundance, it"s just a lot of clutter. Ask me, I know a lot about it.

In the world of concepts there is no opposite to fear... other than no fear...

But if you go below the surface, you"ll find that no abundance can be achieved without dealing with fear...

Here is an article by a coach I don"t know, I probably don"t agree with about anything else... but this article is pretty good... :-)

Abundance Mastery and Fear
by Andrrea Hess (personal vibration: 130)

At least once a week, I receive an email from a client or student who is convinced there’s something deeply “wrong” with them. The reason for their concern? They are terrified of moving forward and it’s stopping them from taking action in their business.

I have to be brutally honest here. There’s nothing wrong. Being absolutely terrified is a completely normal part of the journey. I’m not talking discomfort – I’m talking debilitating fear that takes our breath away.

Here are the normal issues we encounter as expanding entrepreneurs – and I am not exaggerating!

The thought of sending out a marketing email has us curl up in the fetal position, unable to move.

The idea of picking up the phone makes us crawl back into bed and pull the covers up over our heads.

We wake up at two in the morning, our minds racing, the fear of failure so much greater than the desire for success.

Bouts of crying, anger, and desperation arise at least once a week, twice if you’re really going for it.

This is normal, folks. Being petrified doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. It just means you’re an entrepreneur who is increasing their income. In fact, if you’re feeling good and comfortable all the time, you’re probably not growing your business. You’re probably busy, but not productive.

Most people actually invest most of their money and energy avoiding the terror barrier – by taking more classes, by doing research, by shopping for yet another teacher or mentor or marketing method, by doing a bunch of networking with a lot of other people also successfully avoiding the terror barrier.

Being busy is a great way to avoid the terror. It just doesn’t make us any money.

I promise that I have spent my share of nights on my couch in tears, wondering why I do what I do.

I don’t want to sugar-coat what you’re in for if you want to create a thriving, financially abundant business. There are going to be times when you feel like crap. And if you’re really going for expansion, you’re going to have days when you absolutely hate your life.

I know, I know. This is not what you want to hear. Everyone just wants to feel GOOD. And all of us spiritual folks think that any negativity indicates that we are not on our most Divine path. It’s not true.

There’s a reason not everyone creates a successful business, even though they want one, even though they are talented, intelligent people with great gifts to share.

It’s hard.

If it were easy, everyone who wants to create money in their own business would be doing it successfully.

But it’s not impossible. If it were impossible, then NO-ONE would be doing it.

The question is … do you want it badly enough?

I promise there’s no way to avoid the fear. There’s no way to avoid squirming in your own skin, your mind racing to find yet another way to reasonably procrastinate, to avoid doing what’s necessary to create the money you want … and then having enough drive, discipline, and desire to DO IT ANYWAY.

There’s a reason most people have a job.

As entrepreneurs, we don’t go through the terror barrier just once. We have to do it again. And again. Every single time we expand, the fear is there.

It’s not for everyone. You have to really, really, really want it.

There’s a few things that help.

The first is having a community of people who are as determined as you are, who are willing to face their fear, and do what’s necessary to create results no matter what.

They can be hard to come by. Let’s face it, when our spouse or our friends or our parents see us miserable and terrified, they are highly unlikely to do what we need most. They are highly unlikely to tell us we’re NOT going to die, to suck it up and just do what needs to be done. No, they tend to try and make us feel better. They give us great excuses not to take action. They tell us to put our feet up, to take a break, to have a glass of wine, to relax.

It’s bad advice. What gets us through the fear is action.

The second is a mentor or coach who holds our feet to the fire and reminds us of the big picture, the greater goal … because in the middle of a fear storm, all we can see is our own discomfort.

The third is constantly reminding ourselves of what actions are necessary to create income. It’s so easy for our minds to come up with good excuses to do anything BUT that which scares us so much! This means constantly studying – not as a way to avoid taking action, but to remind us of the necessity of implementation.

But let’s not try to avoid the fear. The fear doesn’t mean there’s anything “wrong” with you. It just means that your humanity is terrified of your Divinity. That’s all.

I promise that you will NOT DIE as a result of increasing your income. You won’t get burned at the stake, drowned in a river, or stoned to death. I also promise you that no amount of energy clearing, past-life regression, tapping, or any other modality will take away the terror barrier.

The fear is just a part of being human. And if you’re looking to ground your Divinity into your humanity – well, you just have to be willing to deal with it.

Are you willing?

Mastery comes from work. Often hard work. Focus. Knowing what you are up to, knowing why you are doing it.

You can see that all the requirements for abundance, and mastery, and the good life meets with plenty of resistance from a "normal" person.

Just look at yourself, will you? If you are one in half a million, you"ll find that you are not quite the same, but the 499,999 people will identify with what I am going to say:

How excited are you when you hear "hard work?" "Focus." "Knowing what you are up to", "knowing why you are doing it"

Good relationship? Abundance comes from mastery. Relationship mastery for relationship

This is what I have been trying to avoid all my life...

Everyone and their brother says that connecting with people is the area of life where you have the most pleasure and happiness, and the most discord, and unhappiness.

Given my childhood, I am afraid of people, I am afraid of pain, and I am very reluctant to even have people around me.

Too much pain... and yet, surprisingly, I do crave unstructured human interaction, to a small degree.

Especially at times like this... Life is too hard for us... lol. I stumbled on the ebook this morning: "The Woman Men Adore...and Never Want To Leave"

Can"t see the forest for the trees? You probably don"t like math... What is astuteness?

Distinction vs examples

One of the reasons you are not as astute in life is because you can"t see the forest for the trees.

But why?
Seeing patterns is a higher function of the brain, and needs to be developed and nurtured. I call this astuteness, or the using the astute capacity.

The unspoken price of happiness

This article is not politically correct, and you"ll probably hate it... I am OK with that. I am even OK if you hate me... ((The American Constitution, the ground rules of this nation, sets it down that you have the right to the pursuit of happiness. This article talks about what happiness is meant by the Constitution of the United States of America, and what it doesn"t...

And if you are listening, instead, to the wretched Indian gurus or the copy cats in any country, you are missing what causes happiness... happiness is not something that comes to you... you earn happiness... with the pursuit of it.

The United States was the first country that said that you have the right to pursue your happiness... the way I show it in this article... whereas all other countries told their inhabitants that unless you were born a certain caste, a certain rank... you have NO RIGHTS. India is on of those countries...

And you are stupid if you want to learn from them how to become happy... Hell, I know the truth hurts. But it can set you free... unless you continue being stupid.))

I"ve been up since midnight.

Some nights even the most effective energy audio won"t help...

The Matrix... one method of the Matrix is confusion...

As a mad scientist, my job is to distinguish the "things" that are in your way of direction, in your way of clarity, and to devise ways for you to go around them or through them. ((One of the crucial insight came from Kabbalah. Kabbalah says that what seems to be solid, what separates you from the Light is in fact sheets of fabric hanging there... All you need to do is tear them down, and there will be less or no "things" between you and the Light.

For me this represented a new way of looking at the world, at things.

Obviously this way of thinking is also very "new agey"... but the new age people only give lip service to it, while Kabbalah teaches to live it.

Just the idea that it is a mirage, that it is not solid, that it is real, but only words, ideas, ways of seeing, that opened up the whole world of becoming a human being instead of a limited, entrapped, desperate human, closer to animal in spite of his big brain.))

One tool that has proven invaluable is isolation. Isolating what you want to see. Seeing it by itself. So you can see it for what it is, in all its glory...

In nature, to our eyes, things are grouped, things are undifferentiated and solid.

Your language supports that too... everything is the same as everything else, except not always. ((In the Starting Point Measurements I measure how many words you use accurately in your main language. $2000-2500 would match high vibration... meaning that you see things and name things accurately. But most people have an accuracy of 200-400...)) That is how we see. We don"t see boundaries, we don"t separate out what we want to see, we always see things together. We say: it IS... but there is no "it" and therefore there is no "is". If we said: It seems that ... then we would be closer to reality... but we don"t say that. That would require humility.

Mad scientist: My experiments with milk

Louis Pasteur was a French scientist, the archetype of the "mad scientist".

He was famous for many inventions, including pasteurizing liquids, including milk...

But his maddest act was to inject himself with rabies virus... and then cure himself with his remedy.

Why am I sharing this with you? Because I turn out to be a mad scientist.

I experiment on myself. Why on myself? Because I can observe myself... and some of my experiments are potentially harmful. I am not as sure of my solution as Pasteur was...

Love feedback or else... Make it a feedback loop...

The way to find the strait and narrow of happiness (See The Anna Karenina Principle) is to watch the feedback ((feedback: reactions to an action, a person"s performance of a task, behavior, etc., used as a basis for improvement. Includes the results of tests and experiments... All leading to refinement, changes, retry, etc.)) ... and self-correct. ((Videos like this are instrumental for me... knocking me aware, and return me to closer to the strait and narrow...

Yesterday I added integrity to the starting point measurements. so far all people I measured ranked on 3 out of 100. Wow.

I had an exchange of text messages with a guy, whose vibration was low, and that is all he asked for. His vibration.

He is a Polish person, part of the Starseed Global Alliance to save the earth or something. To me it sounds like a computer game... to him: it is reality. ((Verbatim he says: I"m a star seed and part of some galactic council. I came here to bring Heaven on Earth and clear world from dark forces.

What is your Self, your Dharma? Can you find it? Can you define yourself?

I have been doing a lot of work while I seemingly do nothing... or not much.

Something is driving me...

I used to say it this way: "I can"t do no other"...

I am very fond of weirdly worded things, because they poke a hole in the cultural fabric and allow things to be seen that normally are hidden behind the fabric...

One of the issues people would struggle if they gave a hoot, if they really understood that it"s crucial to get, is what is coming from where... What is coming from their insides and what is peripheral to them.

One example is what is the motive power of your actions? Does it come from the inside, or does it come from the outside?

Here is an article that is right on the money:

The difference between ambition and desire
Ambition & desire are two seemingly similar ideas but in reality are concepts that have a world of difference. Ambition is the desire for achievement, while desire in its most raw form is just pure greed and avarice. While it is perfectly reasonable to be ambitious it really does not bode well if we are too desirous of something.

Oftentimes we get confused with the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita (Hindu Holy book) desireless actions. We think that this basically means going through life in a mechanical way without any ambition. We then start to drift aimlessly in life.

Ambition is very important in life. It is the chief motivator that propels us to be achieve great things, It makes us want to do better in life. However pure desire is bad. Desire for power, wealth or fame is extremely bad and in fact can tempt people to use dishonest means.

Ambition is never affected by evil thoughts. Ambition is pure. It is the driving force which makes us do things, to get better in life.

Ambition propels us to great heights while craving or wanton desire can really result in a person"s downfall.

So while we should be ambitious we should really avoid greed and avarice.

The same question applies to the issue: what is your Self? Who are you?
Most people, when they attempt to answer that question, Who are you?, they talk about their religion, ethnicity, profession, gender... but these are all external to them.

The only thing that is internal is what you can fully generate. Cause. Change.

So what can you generate? Can you change your gender? Not really... but you can be responsible for it. Can you change it? Just ask the transgender people... you cannot change it, because gender is not what sexual organs you have... it is a lot more than that.

Can you change your feelings? No, not really. The therapist that are good at that, like Katie, and to some degree Abraham/Hicks, they use changing words to change how you feel.

You can change how you look, but you are not your looks.
You can change your behavior, but somehow, underneath the thin veneer, it is still you there...

Your life story is like a black hole. Your Bach Flower profile shows how...

Your tendency is to remember the story. Not what happened but your story. And to tell the story in a predictable manner... always the same way, always showing you in the same role, the same exact way.

A story is a narrative of reality. It talks from one particular vantage point, and therefore it is distorted. Always. Inherently so.

Your tendency is to remember the story in a way that agrees with your soul correction.

Soul correction, it could be said, is this slant of reality that lets you get away with murder, lies, laziness, blaming, simply said: being less than giving your best.

My story can be summed up with three elements: a hero succeeding in the face of incredible odds, and also complaining: "no matter what I do... I can"t this or that". And the third: I don"t know if I can trust myself.

Almost succeeding, but never doing things long enough, hard enough, to actually succeed. Why? Because it would kill the story.

Also, I need enemies. I need disease. I need bugs... to fight heroically and almost succeed.
