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.

Expectation is the mother of Disappointment

One of the questions I hear on the Talk-to-Me calls or in emails is how to "make it better" or what is good, etc.

It"s all a comparison, past based, from the mind.

One thing, disappointment ((the feeling of sadness or displeasure caused by the nonfulfillment of one"s hopes or expectations.
"to her disappointment, there was no chance to talk privately with Luke"
synonyms: sadness, regret, dismay, sorrow; More
dispiritedness, despondency, distress, chagrin;
disenchantment, disillusionment;
displeasure, dissatisfaction, disgruntlement
"his disappointment in the outcome was obvious"
antonyms: satisfaction

a person, event, or thing that causes disappointment.
plural noun: disappointments
"the job proved a disappointment"
synonyms: letdown, nonevent, anticlimax, washout; informal: bummer
"the trip was a bit of a disappointment")) can"t be made better. It"s like pregnant: it is either a yes or a no.

Now, I assume that we all get disappointed, more or less, depending on us.
Disappointment is the shadow side of expectation.
Expectation, of course, is quite automatic, just like having an agenda is automatic... actually they are just a different word for the same thing.

I haven"t been able to consciously not expect a certain result... on the other hand, for the most part I expect nothing... or expect the worst.

This is another Dark Side suggestion: expect the best and then you"ll get the best... What a bunch of huey! The whole positive thinking movement is a Dark Side suggestion, and has created more misery than even religion, which is saying a lot.
Expecting the best won"t get you the best... Exactly the opposite is true.

Spiritual practice: Recognizing yourself in another, considering the other a mirror

This is probably the most politically incorrect post I have ever written... I could not find a picture to illustrate it on the whole world wide web.

Why is it politically incorrect? Because the current Dark Side suggestion is that you are perfect the way you are, and your job is to forgive yourself any faults, if you even have any, and keep looking to the outside where other people are worse than you.... Dark Side suggestions are designed to keep you miserable and powerless till you die... ((I teach you to be powerful, not to fancy yourself powerful, while you are lying to yourself. It was very clear in yesterday"s talk to me session... watch the replay))

But the picture and quote I found is true, even if no one understands it. Oh well...

The other day I watched this British comedian mock Robert Pattinson"s acting. I don"t know the actor he was talking about, but I recognized myself having, somewhat the same relationship with some gurus that, in my view, don"t deserve the adulation and the millions of dollars they make, while I "should".
