Limiting beliefs... what should you do about them?

Limiting beliefs... can you zap them like Christie Marie Sheldon pretends to do? Does listening to some guru, watching some Mind Valley video help you chuck them, change them, or eliminate them?
The answer is no. You can"t eliminate limiting beliefs, and they can"t eliminate limiting beliefs either.
Limiting beliefs will not go anywhere. You have to find another way to win: stop listening to them.

I have limiting beliefs, but you would not know from my actions. I don"t consider my mind chatter significant. I only listen to advisors that I hired... I never hired my mind chatter.

5 Characteristics Of Grit -- How Many Do You Have?

Reprinted from Forbes... ((by Margaret M. Perlis I write about Excellence in practice, people, places & product.))

Recently some close friends visited, both of whom have worked in education with adolescents for over 40 years. We were talking about students in general and when I asked what has changed with regards to the character of kids, in unison they said “grit” – or more specifically, lack thereof. There seems to be growing concern among teachers that kids these days are growing soft.

When I took a deeper dive, I found that what my friends have been observing in-the-field, researchers have been measuring in the lab. The role grit plays in success has become a topic du jour, spearheaded by Angela Duckworth, who was catapulted to the forefront of the field after delivering a TED talk which has since been viewed well over a  million times.

Arrogance.

I have been dealing with arrogance in my students.

Arrogance is unearned boastful superiority.
Most people don"t know, don"t care because they themselves are not achievers... but you can have confidence that is justified by your accomplishments, your superior knowledge.

To the uninitiated, they look and sound the same. But they aren"t. You only need to scratch the surface.

I have detected a certain ancestral commonality in that behavior.

And have been pondering why and how and for what purpose are certain nationalities arrogant.

What is health?

A German who escaped just before all the Jews were hoarded into concentration camps in Germany, came to the United States.

His name was Robert Hartman.

His experience with evil uniquely qualified him to set out to deal with the age long question: what is evil, what is good?

He took on himself to define good... the strait and narrow. Many philosophers failed in that: after all the strait and narrow is delineated by the land that encloses it, not by itself...

But he succeeded.

What is the vibration of being right?

One of the most desired possibilities, one of the most desired life anyone can have is a life where you are free to be yourself, warts and all.

It is human nature to be self-critical, it is because of our ambivalent nature of feeling everything and the opposite.

There is no one on the planet who is all good. It is not possible. It is a physical impossibility. It"s unnatural.

You have to be good and you have to be bad, and you have to have high thoughts and you have to have low thoughts. Actions: you have a choice about. But feelings, thoughts... no choice.

Osho on Knowledge and Knowing

ASCENDING TO THE HIGH SEAT, DOGEN ZENJI SAID: "ZEN MASTER HOGEN STUDIED WITH KEISHIN ZENJI.
ONCE KEISHIN ZENJI ASKED HIM, JOZA, WHERE DO YOU GO?"
HOGEN SAID. "I AM MAKING PILGRIMAGE AIMLESSLY."
KEISHIN SAID, "WHAT IS THE MATTER OF YOUR PILGRIMAGE?"
HOGEN SAID, "I DON"T KNOW."
KEISHIN SAID, "NOT KNOWING IS THE MOST INTIMATE."
HOGEN SUDDENLY ATTAINED GREAT ENLIGHTENMENT."
ZEN IS JUST ZEN. There is nothing comparable to it. It is unique -- unique in the sense that it is the most ordinary and yet the most extraordinary phenomenon that has happened to human consciousness. It is the most ordinary because it does not believe in knowledge, it does not believe in mind. It is not a philosophy, not a religion either. It is the acceptance of the ordinary existence with a total heart, with one"s total being, not desiring some other world, supra-mundane, supra-mental.

Osho: The art of walking the tightrope

In this series of Osho talks he examines stories from different ancient cultures. This is an excellent companion to what I teach. Enjoy!



ONCE, WHEN THE HASIDIM WERE SEATED TOGETHER
IN ALL BROTHERLINESS,
PIPE IN HAND, RABBI ISRAEL JOINED THEM.
BECAUSE HE WAS SO FRIENDLY THEY ASKED HIM,
"TELL US, DEAR RABBI, HOW SHOULD WE SERVE GOD?"



HE WAS SURPRISED AT THE QUESTION,
AND REPLIED, "HOW SHOULD I KNOW?"

BUT THEN HE WENT ON TO TELL THEM THIS STORY..
THERE WERE TWO FRIENDS OF THE KING,
AND BOTH WERE PROVED GUILTY OF A CRIME.

SINCE HE LOVED THEM THE KING WANTED TO SHOW THEM MERCY,
BUT HE COULD NOT ACQUIT THEM BECAUSE EVEN A KING"S WORD
CANNOT PREVAIL OVER THE LAW.

The poisonous tree that you are... and what you can do about it...

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” —Marie Curie, Our Precarious Habitat

The "What"s The Truth About You" workshop series is kicking off this afternoon.

As usual I haven"t done any preparation: I never do. I like my life, my teaching fluid. Freezing it would be to ignore guidance, stop growing, and start becoming a sculpture on a pedestal.

I slept well last night. I had a ton of guiding dreams. All about what I am trying to do in the workshop this afternoon: take you over the threshold between human and human being.

Being human means being a poisonous tree.

You weren"t born that, you became that. You are poisonous in predictable ways, along predictable lines, predicted by your soul correction.

Updated: Learning lessons the hard way or the easy way: choose

You can make the same mistake, over and over, expecting different results.
You can eventually learns from your mistakes, but you insist on making them a few times...
You can learn from other people"s mistakes.

I am not talking here about your IQ? About ability?

I am talking about behavior. Behavior that comes from your world view, your self-view, and the number of the capacities you are wielding...

To consider doing things differently needs a modicum of humility. Modicum means: a little bit. Most people have none... Just watch a 3-year old: "Don"t tell me what to do! I know!" yells the little boy... and they freeze into that attitude.

Humility is a capacity. Without some humility there in no curiosity, there is not real learning, there is no experimentation, thought or otherwise, there is not growth.

If you are a fatalist or determinist, ((religious?)) you probably have no humility.
If you find the juice in life in being a victim: you probably want no humility.

Thought experiments are tools for growth, tools for evolution...  ((Occasionally you can do the thought experiment in an illustrated form, like a mind map, or in the case of military: on the war map. You need less intelligence to do it in an illustrated fashion, and the accuracy of the thought experiment is very much in question... You can be seduced by the physical activity of writing and drawing... feeling really smart...))

If you can"t move from A to B... The Too Direct Approach To Anything

I just finished watching a long (2 and a half hour long!) webinar, and one of the phrases that I want to borrow from there, is this: it"s not you, it"s your approach that makes you get less out of life than you could.

One of these approaches I see often that rob you of success is: The Too Direct Approach To Things

One of the mistakes, one of the false beliefs, one of the erroneous ideas your paradigm gives you is to attempt to get from point A to point B through the straight, direct route.

But... No Problem Can Be Solved From The Same Level Of Consciousness That Created It ((What does No Problem Can Be Solved From The Same Level Of Consciousness That Created It mean... It means that the thinking, the vibration, the consciousness, the attitude that cause the problem in the first place cannot find a solution that is not the next, bigger problem. In a way of a metaphor: if you create i.e. see a problem on the pedestrian level, you cannot solve it on the same level, because you will only see from that level what you saw before. You need to elevate yourself at least to the second floor level of consciousness, so you can see more, more of the picture, not just what you saw before. In my programs, with my activators, many people can move to a higher level of observation, so their problems disappear as a problem, or they can find a solution that will not bite them in the rear end.))

So you want to feel special?

We are all special, if special means, as special as our thumbprint... But that is not special enough for you, is it?

You want to be SPECIAL... so you can be treated special... a special talent, outstanding, mind boggling, awesome, the best.

In this article I will shed light to an important phenomenon that we are all experiencing... the ITCH, that keeps us miserable, and the HORIZON that keeps us on track, sane, happy and always well.

How can you tell what is your level of consciousness, what is your vibrational frequency?

The only reliable way I know is to tell someone"s vibration accurately is to muscle test while truly connected to Source, by a person whose vibration is past ego... on or above the level of unconditional love.

About that doesn"t mean you can"t have pointers...So you can get a ballpark estimate of where you are or where another person is...

Could you learn to be an investor like Warren Buffet? If you had the time, the teachers, the money?

I shared a few bits here and there today with my chiropractor... He has 13 capacities used.

The conversation was an utter and total failure.

Capacities, abilities, is a whole new concept, and he wasn"t even getting a glimpse of what I was talking about. Very interesting.

It seems that the mistaken belief is that you can learn anything... including being an investor like Warren Buffet... that is a total illusion: you cannot learn anything that you don"t have the capacities for.

Most types of learning, like classes, coaching, etc. don"t take you to a place where the capacity missing would turn on, because you are ready for it and need it, It is not deep enough water, so the sink or swim would apply. Especially if you think you should be able to do it...

Big mistake.

Wideheld belief: you should already know... or that you should have to work for knowledge

Have you ever noticed that if a character in a movie or on a TV show is a good actor, you can bet that the person is from another country.

In the United States and Canada there is a wideheld belief that you should already know. That learning something is for other people, who don"t already know, and if you admitted that you need to learn something, it is akin you admitting of being an imbecile, or a lower type of person.

Now, in some rare cases people decide to learn something, and they go as far as getting an understanding, a surface understanding, and then they stop. I already know.

I don"t know of a profession that can be done well with no knowledge, but I can tell you, spiritual growth, causing your own evolution isn"t one of them: it takes more work than getting a Ph.D. and you can"t copy your paper from another... you actually have to do your own work.

If you every want to unhinge yourself from this commonly held detrimental belief, obviously Dark Side suggestion, you need to take pride in doing the work, and doing it.

Who are you? How do you define yourself?

I just read an article on the Monday Morning Memo and I cringed. It hit me what bs is being propagated as wisdom.

As you have seen, if you have been with me for more than a week, you would know that I knock the idea of beliefs being important to your success in life. And after reading Roy Williams article, I am also going to start to knock the idea that the why is what"s important.
What am I talking about? What is the why, and why should it matter to you?
Here is what is being taught in the entrepreneur field today: If your why is big enough, you"ll do what you need to do, to succeed. ((Entrepreneurs, strictly speaking, are problem solvers for others. But you need to be a problem solver in your own life... don"t you? Health, money, family... full of problems to solve. Big and small... So what applies to entrepreneurs also applies to you. So keep reading...))

"They" encourage you to design your business, your communications from your why. Why are you doing what you are doing? What do you want to get out of it? Money? Fame? Love? Power?

Who gives a flying f...ck? Other than you, of course?

True or false: "You have to believe that you can succeed to succeed"?

The teaching that you have to believe that you can succeed is utter b.s.

This teaching has been the secret to more failures than anything else I can find.


You see, you cannot force yourself to believe anything that you don"t believe.


In addition to that, your actions do NOT come from your beliefs, do not even come from your thoughts, they come from a place much deeper than that.

For example, I am your perfect pessimist: I never believe I can do it. I never believe that I will succeed.

But... I am not waiting for my beliefs to change, I do what I need to do, whether I believe I will succeed, or even that I am doing the right thing.




Now, why is this stupid lie taught? Because it makes you sheep... Or conversely, it makes you overconfident.

By the way, all Dark Side suggestions, or emotions are designed to make you sheep.

Vibrational Review: 5 stages of Consciousness Evolution by Vishen Lakhiani

Vishen Lakhiani is the owner of MindValley... a huge company promoting gurus and their programs.

The original article was to promote his webinar workshop on becoming limitless, on October 13. The webinar"s job is to promote their continuity, i.e. subscription to the $29 a month Mindvalley Academy.

Because so many people are interested in becoming limitless, or at least happier, I am going to review the article... I can"t review the webinar, or something I haven"t happened... but I can look at the person and his work any time, and make bold assertions to their results.

One thing that will clue me in is the truthfulness of this article... or the lack of truthfulness. I don"t mean honesty, by the way. I mean: are the principles valid? Do  the methods produce the results he claims they produce? Is the thinking correct?

This may take me days... I just hope I won"t miss the deadline.

So, here is the article by Vishen Lakhiani:

Are your actions effective? Constructive? And if not, why?

This may be the most important article for you to read... Don"t complain that I didn"t warn you!

One of the things mainstream (all the gurus) get wrong is this: they consider you a constant in opportunities. Constant as in fixed... As if you were the same when you are afraid, and when you are confident...

You are not constant until you are on the vibrational level of above 900. How do I know? Because I can see the difference in me and in my ability to act constructively, even though I am above 900.

Let me explain: The YOU, the watcher, the Observer, the maker of decisions is not constant.

Even mainstream can see that, but they don"t know what changes when you go from putz, ineffective, flailing limp dick to someone who can take effective actions.

They think it has something to do with your beliefs. That if you implant a belief in you then you will see what to do, and you"ll know how to go about effective actions, including the seeing, the words, the strategy.

Or they may suggest that you have a blockage, and once it is removed, you"ll be an unstoppable champion.

Bull crap.

Beliefs have nothing to do with it. Blockages have little to do with it.

Review: Natalie Ledwell and Mind-Movies: does it work? is it worth buying it?

Before I start talking about the subject matter, Natalie Ledwell and Mind-Movies, let me quickly teach you something: The internet is populated, 90%, with material that is designed to make money for the person or company that published it.

If you could make money recommending the Mind Movies: would you lie? Would you say it"s the best thing that happened to you? Of course you would. But it would be still a lie...

So, as I was looking for honest reviews of Natalie Ledwell and her product, Mind-Movies, I didn"t find any.

So, let this be the first honest review.

Does "not that bad" have you by the balls?

More than half of my site"s visitor come to download the codes by Grabovoi, for free. Grabovoi"s numbers are the type of miracles that people hope for, angels, spirits, gods... ((99% or more of those visitors are from Catholic countries, by the way.))

I have contemplated that maybe I should remove those articles, and maybe I should.

Why? Why would I want to remove a post that brings in so many visitors?

I tell you why! Because people who are interested in those numbers, are not my people. They want miracles, angel dust, prayer, magicians, shamans, or some other form of "please do it for me" magic.

Of all the people that searched for the Grabovoi codes, I am aware of one person who stayed and became a star student of mine... One out of hundreds of thousands.

But what if the people who search for the Grabovoi codes need my help?

What about the people who don"t feel well, who are bloated, or can"t get enough rest in the night, tired, sluggish, listless, depressed, not enough pep or not enough energy to enjoy life?
