Updated: A Time To Give Thanks. But To Who? For What? Mundane Or Significant? Habit And Duty Or Privilege?

I wrote this article five years ago. Sometimes the way to get ahead is to go back five years and start from there.

Recently the readership of this blog has changed, not to my liking. I"d like to return to how it was five years ago, when people with sincere desire to change visited, and asked for help.

OK, here is the old article... hopefully all typos are corrected.



Thanksgiving: a time to give thanks. But to who? For What? Mundane or Significant? Habit and Duty or Privilege?

In searching what I am really thankful for, I went through all the things I could be thankful for.

The air I breathe? the fact that I woke up this morning? the sunshine on this winter day on my window... hey it"s so strong I had to lower the blinds! lol

Or the roasted beet salad with goat cheese (yumm) I am making as part of Thanksgiving dinner?

Why can"t you change? What is holding you back?

In spite of The sight, and other capacities newly available to you, you don"t seem to be able to change...

You have been unsuccessful getting their guidance, getting your information from outside of the mind.

This manifests, among others, in the inability to muscle test correctly.

The question is why?

The phenomenon, what actually seems to happen is this: you understand where to look, how to look, and you nod rapidly. You bring great examples to show how you just succeeded in using the new capacity... but I can smell the mischief... you are trying to throw me off my tracking.

Now, I say "you" but who is this "you"? What aspect of a person am I talking about?

In this case, the dominant aspect, the ego.

Current science"s view on DNA and what I say is the truth

Science talks about genetic lottery... haves and have nots, lucky and unlucky.

The truth is both simpler and more complicated.

Human DNA has capacities encoded, but they are either turned on or not. And even capacities that are turned of, may be used, or not used.

The kids in studies who are good at reading but not good at math are dealing not with a reading gene and a math gene missing, instead they deal with something less simplistic than that.

There is no reading gene and there is no math gene. On the other hand, there are 160 genes that lie underneath all the clever feats a child or adult can perform to scientists" amazement. Sarcasm intended.

So, let"s take an example: you got a kid who is good at reading... but isn"t good at math. I say, that the capacity that is definitely missing is humility: the capacity to say: I am incompetent, I don"t know anything: teach me.

Why? Isn"t saying "I am incompetent" going to keep me stunted? No, the opposite is true. What keeps you stunted is what you have decided is true about you and about the world.

When your earlier decision was: I am not good at math... you"ll not even try. You already know that you won"t be able to get it.

Are there other capacities that are missing? Probably another up to eight capacities... duh...

An Atlantic article: What does ISIS really want?

What ISIS Really Wants
from the Atlantic

The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here"s what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.

What is the Islamic State?


Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State"s appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda"s "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.

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.

You can"t see and you don"t know it. You can"t hear and you don"t know it

It"s a rare opportunity to go from innocent infant to all-seeing adult, being able to observe it at the same time.

When I first did the Landmark Forum, (()) the koan of the session was: for you everything is the same as everything else, except that not always.

When you are an infant, for you everything is the same as everything else... no distinctions. No distinction between your body and the environment. You are just as ready to suck on your feet as you are ready to suck on someone else"s finger.

From time to time you"ll see something strange, like you reach out, as always, and your hands remain empty: the object you reach for is out of reach...

You learn the world, your world, slowly, and experientially. Through seeing, hearing, touching, tasting... like a baby.

What you think is bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, or trichomonas...

What you think is bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, or trichomonas... may be "only" a spider mite infestation, or a combination of all the above.

One symptom, the intense itching, is what makes these vastly different conditions feel like the same. I"ve been there, I"ve done it.

So, how can you tell if you have an infection or an infestation?

I caught one of these spider mites on my body

My heart almost stopped...

I felt something climbing up my shirt. I have been wearing no bra for the past 10 days or so, and loose shirts so I can catch a critter before it bites... some bites are really nasty and don"t want to heal.

So I reached there, and there it was, greenish spider

Why do you feel lethargic... Part 2

After publishing the previous article on feeling lethargic, I had an insight:

Given that 30% of humanity is plagued with mite infestation, microscopic biting mites, you are always bothered.

You can"t sleep through the night, because almost every night there is a 2-hour period when eggs hatch into worms... worms that cause itching, or when hungry mites hatch, and they bite and crawl their way to your head and ears to start their adult lives, to mate, to lay eggs, that will start the cycle in about 22-26 hours.

I know you don"t want to hear it, but eventually you"ll have to hear it.

So you want to become a healer?

Energy Healing, Energy Healers
People want to become healers. It is all ego, pride, a way to go around doing their own spiritual work.

Thousands upon thousands search to become Reiki "Masters"... they are not a master in anything, barely can tie their shoe laces, but they are Reiki Masters. Yeah, right.

It"s the best racket of our age:wave your arms, and get paid. No one can see energy, no one can measure energy, and only a very small percentage of people can feel energy. And when they don"t... it is their fault, isn"t it?

I take pride to spend my life with what I can do, instead of worrying about what other people have done to me.

Are you using your adult capacities?

The first Osho book I have ever read, was Maturity. I started to read it in the store, and fell in love with it.

It echoed one of my favorite Landmark courses, the Wisdom Course.

In that course, maturity was a state (they call it possibility, just a Landmark word!): where you were using adult capacities to live your life.

One would think that when you are an adult you use your adult capacities, but that is not the case.

Rose Colored Glasses, Hope, and other stuff that takes you out of the present moment

The purveyors of hope
When "picking" a state of being, an attitude, a mindset, conventional wisdom can be detrimental to our well-being.

Unless you are a prisoner in a concentration camp, and what"s predictable is that you will not make it out alive, hope is a very bad-for-you state to pick. But even there, unless it gives you actions that keep you alive longer, that make you take care of yourself, hope as a being, hopeful is the right word, will be just a feeling... and you know how it is with feelings: they come and go at their own accord: you can"t control feelings. Hope and hopeless are the two sides of the same coin. Being doesn"t have a flip side.

ADD, ADHD. Are the parents guilty? What the French can teach us about that...

Is ADD and ADHD a nature or nurture phenomenon? There is a surprising answer: we compare American and French children with regards to ADD...

Based on an article by Marilyn Wedge, Ph.D. "Why French Kids Don"t Have ADHD? French children don"t need medications to control their behavior."
First off: what is ADD and ADHD?
Attention deficit disorder is a symptom. According to Dr. Daniel Amen, when an ADD/ADHD person wants to concentrate, at a certain point their prefrontal cortex shuts down... much like your computer crashes when you overload it.

What is Freedom? What is Liberty? What is the difference?

Freedom versus Liberty, thrivers, survivors, or fallen by the wayside

When I ask people what they want, many say they want freedom. When we poke into it: they want a sense of freedom, but think the way to get to freedom is through liberty... Let me explain.

Just like with all words we use, here is huge confusion, a collapse of two distinctions: freedom and liberty. They are not connected. They don"t even overlap!

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.

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.

One of the videos I found is a TEDx talk by Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the founder of the brain plasticity based brain training center.

NEW: You live in a machine and you feed, unwittingly, the machine

http://www.yourvibration.com/wp-content/uploads/monalisamk2.gif
Every single human (and to a certain degree lots of animals) has automatic ways of being, that could be called a machine, because their behavior is predictable, it is machine-like. Push a button and outcomes the same result, every time.

Every person I know is, more or less, an emotional wreck... a thinly disguised heap of upsets, fears, anxieties, and other very unpleasant feelings. As an empath I see the disguise and feel the truth.

The gap between what you"d like to be, calm, collected, smart, graceful, close, intimate, effective, important, creative, productive, etc. and the reality, the truth: you are bogged down by bad feelings, bad thoughts, doubts, insecurities, fears... stuck, stuck, stuck. In survival mode alternating with sudden bursts of inspiration, hope, etc.

NEW: How much good are you able to receive? A gram? A ton?

http://www.yourvibration.com/wp-content/uploads/bought-too-many-things.jpg

Your ability to receive depends on the size of your cup... or the empty space in your vessel.
A vessel is like a cup. If you are buying stuff but aren"t receiving value from what you buy, your cup may be too small, or your cup may be full with stuff you already know, you already do... your cup may even be overflowing...
Your vessel and your actions
It"s a psychological fact that you choose to buy something or not to buy it emotionally and then, after you bought it, you justify it rationally.

Whether it is to choose a partner, choose your work, choose a project, or to buy something like a course is immaterial: the psychological fact remains: you buy with emotion and justify it later with your mind.

But how does it really work? Why do you really choose certain things and say no to others?
