Cancer: The unexpected results of positive thinking

Whoever thought that the well-meaning positive thinking will become a prison and a sentence to a "no joy life" for most who become a "practitioner" of it, about 80% of humanity at this time.

Whether you know it or not, your powers of comprehension depend on your powers of distinguishing.

In the old est training, the trainers came to the room on the first day blasting: "for you Everything is the same as everything else ... except not always" and they were as accurate as accurate they would be today: you can"t tell your ass from your elbow.

This is true for everybody, including yours truly... the difference is only in degrees. No one is exempt from it.

The capacity to see differences clearly is called astuteness. The capacity to tell apart similar things, to name them and claim them.

When it comes to thinking positive or being positive, 99.99% of you thought that what it meant is to suppress the negative, both thoughts and feelings.

It seems so clear, doesn"t it? If you suppress those, then what you are left with is positive...

But reality isn"t as simple as your simplistic thinking.

One of the most fundamental facts about the human brain and about Life is that they are ambivalent.

Ambivalent means that each feeling comes with an opposing feeling. Love and hate. Frustration and joyful expectation. Life and Death.

Always. It is the nature of the human brain. Everything and its opposite.

Maddening. I remember dealing with that in psychoanalysis some 35 years ago. I wanted it to stop.

Psychoanalysis is a weird beast: the therapist doesn"t say anything. In fact they are not allowed to give you any feedback... if the two therapist I had over the seven years are any indication.

So you are on your own. And you can either distinguish or not, you are either astute or not... and if you are not... bummer.

I was astute, I inherited the spiritual capacity of astuteness from my father. I saw that the two feelings are seemingly always together, inseparable, like the front of your hand and the back of your hand. You suppress one, the other one get suppressed with it.

So I decided to leave it alone, and look at other issues.

Example of ambivalence: different or same as everyone else

One other issue was, not surprisingly also ambivalent, is wanting to be different and wanting to belong. Mutually exclusive futures... You can either have one or the other.

I obviously chose being different, and grieve what I lost: belonging.

Human genes make you accepted when you are similar, rejected if you are different... including being better.

The moment you see how reality is, including the reality of the human brain, you have a chance to have it all, and moreover enjoy it all.

Enjoyment is another ambivalent issue.

The world, your world, is full of pleasures. Feeling your body, your muscles, breathing. Your first cup of tea or coffee in the morning.

The coolness of the water as it passes through your throat. Stretching. Reading. Writing. Speaking. Being heard. Meeting someone"s eyes and feeling that you are seen.

All unforbidden pleasures... available to all, ignored by most.

The same suppression phenomenon applies here: you have forbidden pleasure desires. You suppress them. And now you can"t feel any pleasure...

The two wolves that fight for dominance need you to want to suppress one of them. When you allow both to live, there is no struggle: you just feed the one you want to feed, and you have peace.

Having an urge doesn"t mean you have to act on it. Even if it is the machine-like urge of your genes. Or the machine-like urge of your soul correction.

Example: Judgment and assessment are very similar, but also very different.

Of course ask anyone, and they don"t know the difference.

You say something in both. But the context is vastly different.

In judgment it is all about you. Your motivator is "desire for the self alone". You say what you say to make yourself look better.

In assessment there is no you. You see and you say. It has no reflection on you.

My vibrational reviews are assessments, not judgments.

My vibrational reviews are assessments. You or your guru being low vibration doesn"t make me feel better about myself, doesn"t make me look better. It is just what is so.

Same in my workshops.

If you can"t tell the difference between judgment and assessment, you"ll be mortified by the things I say about the participants. Sounds even nasty. But nasty is judgment. It intends to put the other down... nasty is all about the speaker.

I am not nasty. I am compassionate. I tell you the things I tell you so you can calm down and stop hiding it. So you can take a deep breath and look at it and say... "ugh. ugly."

Once you do that, without self-judgment, you are on your way to power. Power is impossible when you suppress. Suppression is force. Violence.

No power. No enjoyment. No flow. No abundance. Only death. Only violence.

If you take the time to observe the inner dynamic, if you learn, little by little, that you are not a ticking bomb... you may become someone who I can work with, who can start living an invented life.

Where all the unforbidden pleasures more than make up for everything.

Where work, learning, solving puzzles, breaking through barriers is pleasure.

Really.

Ambivalence, the feeling of the opposites, is like alternating current.

If you slowed down a video showing a lit light bulb, you"d see that the bulb being "on" is an optical illusion, the light bulb goes through on and off, sixty times a second. And it goes through positive and negative, sixty times a second.

If it stayed on all the time, it would burn out in minutes. If it stayed with the positive only, it would burn out in minutes.

That is why Edison had to do a thousand experiments... because he wasn"t the smartest and most astute person: Tesla was a lot brighter: he saw the nature of reality, that it is ambivalent. And therefore our power source needs to be ambivalent also.

Life and death, always happening, every moment of every minute.

That is life. The one you think would work better is deadly. It is like cancer.

The way you practice positive thinking is cancer-like. Kill everything else and only grow the cancer cells.

Congratulations. You"ve found the opposite of the Philosopher"s Stone. [note]The Philosopher"s Stone is said to cause living forever[/note]

Human culture is known to favor one side of ambivalence and vilify the other.

The book Pendulum says, this goes in cycles, predictable cycles.

We live in the phase of WE cycle. Forcing and favoring the "we are one", cooperation, giving back part of the ambivalence.

Being selfish and wanting to be part of a community are the two sides of this ambivalence.

But both are part of human nature: "no man is an island" is true... "you need to be who you are or you"ll be unhappy" is also true.

While all of humanity cycles through suppressing one side or the other, you can say: "heck with it, I"ll embrace all of life, and all of my nature."

And you"ll be the winner of the prize: a fully enjoyed, fully lived life, where nothing is suppressed, nothing is denied, you choose on a moment to moment basis, by what seems appropriate. In the moment.

That is balance. Heavenly. [note]

Time to reinvent yourself as someone you can love

You live in a world of your own design... Time to reinvent yourself as someone you can love

Your own design is like a filter you look through. You can"t see the filter, just like you don"t see the window unless you touch it...

A filter is like a pair of glasses...

A filter is also like a pair of glasses... They can be dark tinted, they can be yellow, green... and the world occurs differently with each pair of glasses. You can"t see that it"s the glasses that make the world look the way the world looks to you... unless you can take it off...

You can see only the ripples. The indication that there is something there...

It"s the ripples that we don"t like... we don"t like the things we do, the things we think, the things we feel. We want to change the ripples. But the ripples are the surface of the iceberg... hidden, invisible...

But you can"t change something that you don"t know. You can"t change something that you don"t see.

We all want to reinvent ourselves, our world. Because what we have now is not working too well, not serving us too well. We can"t have what we want, and we suffer.

But reinventing is a science, and it is not a "from the outside to the inside" thing.

It"s exactly the opposite.

I have done two Reinventing Yourself workshops this week.

Reinventing is a skill... and a process, and something it is worth learning, it is worth practicing, experimenting with, because you have to live with your new invention.

Because no matter how you slice it, you always live in a world of your own design.

Your occurring world.

And your whole self... the being, the doing, the having.

Reinventing is not fixing.

Reinventing is not fixing. Whatever you are trying to fix gets into the "new you" and taints it. It is still calling the shot... and the new you will be a new version of what you wanted to fix. So fixing is not the path to a reinvention, to a new you that you can love, respect, and honor.

I am going to give you everything you need to know to successfully reinvent yourself.

Here are the steps to reinvent yourself

1. Step 1: Distinguish in detail who you are, the you you will start with, the one that you don"t really like, the one that you hide, and the one that is making your life... not so desirable.


2. Step 2: Embrace it. Consider that there is nothing wrong with you. Like a child, when you say no to, when you try to change it, it will get you in the end.


3. Step 3: When you can totally embrace the old self, contemplate how the new invented self could be. Come from your natural inclinations, your strength in the invention of the new self. It will still be a lot of work to become that new self, but building on your strengths, it will be easier and more natural.

Now, I have worked with thousands of people, but I have never known anyone who could do this on their own.

This work is like digging for gold

Why? Because this work is like digging for gold. Between you and gold is a lot of dirt. And you need to safely discard the dirt to get to the gold.

Unless there is someone who can hold the dirt, you"ll be stuck with it.

Dirt, in this work, is all the ways you are that devastate you. All the ways you are that you hate. All the things you do that you are not proud of.

I have a hunch that most people are so attracted to mind movies and other stuff, because they cannot dare to confront who they are and how they are... they want to jump to the dream, to the beautiful, to the rich.

But there is no jumping in the physical universe: you cannot defy gravity.

What goes up has to come down... The unattended and denied you will prevent you from having your dream life... sooner or later.

Another way to look at self and reinventing the self

You are born with a machine like self. It"s predictable and consistent. It"s called your soul correction.

There is no life outside of the world "designed" by your soul correction.

It"s like a prison, it"s like living in a machine.

The machine does not care about you.

So what can you do?

With the work of reinvention, you can steadily enlarge your prison, the elbow room you have inside your machine.

Reinvention is like an artist creating a drawing. An artist does not stop at one drawing. An artist creates lots of drawings. And with each drawing the world becomes a little bit bigger.

Without work that enlarges the world, you live in a world that is more like a trench than anything else. One dimensional, and not fun.

The most important work is done after the work of reinvention: allowing a slightly bigger, a slightly different world to show up.

I am sharing the method I used to take myself from a vibration of 85 to a vibration of 930.

Am I promising that you"ll get to the same vibrational level where I am? I am not promising anything.

You"ll get what you get.

Your vibrational level will be consistent with the number of times you reinvent yourself as a new person, the variety of ways that new person is, the amount of presence and work you invest in being that new person.

And ultimately the number of spiritual capacities you have to do the work.

Spiritual capacities, like curiosity, astuteness, awareness, patterns, creating mental representation, ownership, causing... remember, there are 160 capacities.

You, most likely, have five capacities. Maybe seven. And most likely you feel smart, and you feel that you can have everything you ever wanted with what you have.

The most frequent question I am never asked is this: how do you be that new person?

Because inventing a new self is only the starting point. The seed level. Then you need to grow a full grown tree.

And unless you do it, you won"t... duh.

I remember spending 10 hours straight distinguishing the beingness of brilliance and contribution.

It happened 29 years ago: I needed a job: I was desperate. Someone asked: why should they give you a job? I answered: I am brilliant and a contribution.

I was neither brilliant nor a contribution at the time, I invented it. [note]In fact I was a know-it-all, and a helping junkie...[/note]

The interview was the next day, so I stayed up all night. I stood in front of the mirror, talking to "the person in the mirror" because you can"t do this work alone successfully.

I saw that having answers, talking much is not brilliant... Brilliant is not a result: it"s a starting point, a way to look. A way to listen. A way to relate to things.

That what I already knew had nothing in common with brilliance, in fact brilliance comes from the willingness to look, to ask questions, to be there for the thing to show itself.

And I saw that doing good work, what I think is good, what I think needs to get done is not a contribution. Or helping... A contribution begins with what the job, "the other" wants and needs.

I saw that if I squarely put my attention, if I merge with what "the other" wants, I can be a contribution.

Instant result... and THEN month of practice

Next morning I got hired on the spot, even though I went to that interview after a night of not even getting to bed.

I practiced those two new beings for a few months before I tried my hand on "generosity"... "respect"... "authenticity"... Powerful, winner... all new invented selves.

Each time my vibration rose, and the prison got bigger.

One new element of my workshops, the inventing of a new self, is that I can now muscle test if the person, the participant has the capacity to be that new self. It"s dangerous to assume that you can be anything... it is a lie.

You have the capacity to be some things, maybe even well, but you needs more capacities to be other things.

 

So beware... don"t invent pie in the sky.

PS: In a call this morning I discovered what is the capacity that is missing to succeed in inventing yourself successfully and then be that new person.

I"ll write an article about that... You"ll be surprised. Guaranteed. Here is the link... it will be active at 10 am, May 23...

PPS: here is an excellent quote

“invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
don"t swim in the same slough.
invent yourself and then reinvent yourself and
stay out of the clutches of mediocrity.

invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
change your tone and shape so often that they can never categorize you.

reinvigorate yourself and
accept what is
but only on the terms that you have invented
and reinvented.

be self-taught.

and reinvent your life because you must;
it is your life and
its history
and the present
belong only to
you.”
Charles Bukowski

What does skill-building do to you, beyond building skills?

I realized today that I am still at the beginning phases of my "entrepreneurial" journey... meaning: I am not a seasoned entrepreneur.

Why that would be, you ask?

Today I had an insight. Everyone talks about knowing, maybe even knowing how to do something, but hardly anyone talks about building skills, the building blocks of a successful life.

There is a what to do... and then there is a how to do it... and they all look magical and at least foggy for most people...

There are so many how"s that I can promise you it takes years of diligent doing projects one after the other, with help, before you"ll get any good at it.

Here is an embarrassing example: I have been making my own capsules of supplements... I buy empty capsules and fill them with whatever I want to take.

Last year in December I bought a 100 capsule capsule-filler "machine"... and until yesterday I made thousands of capsules with it, many of them destroyed.

I never suspected that I am at fault: it is a stupid machine, I thought... But yesterday I had an insight, and suddenly it was fast, effortless, and all the capsules came out perfect.

Eight months process till a certain level of mastery.

And that is what I am talking about: a skill takes a long time to perfect, to make you unconsciously competent, especially if you don"t have someone to catch your mistakes... like I didn"t.

For years now I"ve attempted to help people choose the best field to invest their energies in, a field where their skills would make them shine... but every time I get hopeful, I find out that people have NO SKILLS.

Unbelievable... for me. Because I have so many... but then again, I am, nowadays, finding myself reluctant to develop new skills... I guess they have gotten to me and corrupted me, without me even noticing me.

Who are they?

Every generation, for the past 200 or so years, grows up with less and less encouragement from the previous one, to build skills. In fact there are hardly any people out there who could help you to build skills... because they themselves don"t have it.

It seems that today only the autodidact can shine... Autodidacticism (also autodidactism) or self-education (also self-learning and self-teaching) is education without the guidance of masters (such as teachers and professors) or institutions (such as schools).

They are rare, because it is itself a skill, as is knowing how to practice, how to know when you know enough, and when it"s time to challenge yourself.

Today everyone wants to be a writer... because everyone had to learn to write in school. But writing well, constructing characters, storyline, having a way with words needs to learned, they are all skills.

And the "market" is full of dilettante writing, copycats, written by hopefuls that think they will make a living with writing.

Same with driving: everyone can be an Uber driver...

But the world is so hungry for skills and there is so little supply... No one is willing to invest in something that doesn"t pay off immediately.

I see many people who have been in a semi-professional job for decades, and their skill level has never really increased...

To take anything to mastery, and that is the goal, takes conscious practice.

How you do anything is how you do everything... meaning: your attitude to one skill is the same as your attitude to other skills.

Unless you have a goal to increase your skill level 1% a day, 1% a week... you are never going to get to mastery... and mastery is where it"s at.

Mastery in the depth, the width, the precision, the elegance, the speed of the skill.

I do have a couple of people who work on a skill or two, report back daily. I have yet to see anyone really challenging themselves, getting better at it.

I have a new deal with one of my interns: I"ll teach her to process audio files for podcast, submit them into some places to promote them... I will work with this intern to see what it would take to take someone to mastery... not as a should, but as a game. A game worth playing.

So, to return to the question in the title of this article, what else does skill building does, other than build skills?

The short answer is: it activates capacities in your DNA... and make them available every step of the way, to build a life you love and to help you live it powerfully.

Yeah... regardless the actual skill you build, just generic skill-building does that.

One tenth of one percent is willing to invest in building a skill... any skill.

Their sight is set on the prize, and it doesn"t look like skill-building is the fastest and shortest route between how it is now, and how it "should" be... So they resort to dreaming, retreat to their desire trap, and... drumroll please: do nothing to become more, better or different.

To get what you want in life you need to earn what you want.

But in the dream, in the visualization, in the desire trap, you already have it... you imagined it and it is as good as done... except that it"s not real.

Real things require you to invest yourself, invest effort, invest time, invest money, invest your attention... Bummer, eh?

On suppression... the cost of positive thinking

Whoever thought that the well-meaning positive thinking will become a prison and a sentence to a "no joy life" for most who become a "practitioner" of it, about 80% of humanity at this time.

Whether you know it or not, your powers of comprehension depend on your powers of distinguishing.

In the old est training, the trainers came to the room on the first day blasting: "for you everything is the same as everything else..." and they were as accurate as accurate they would be today: you can"t tell your ass from your elbow.

This is true for everybody, including yours truly... the difference is only in degrees. No one is exempt from it.

The capacity to see differences clearly is called astuteness. The capacity to tell apart similar things, to name them and claim them.

Life is a lot like traveling by train...

Life is like being in a train: you can look out on the left side, the right side, the back, the front... but it won"t change that you are on a train that will arrive to its destination, no matter where you look.

Most of us live this way most of the time.

We do our jobs, we do our relationships, we do our projects, we do our lives this way.

Fulfilling? No. Enjoyable? It depends...

Ultimately we are plagued by a nagging sense that we are out of control, that no matter what we do won"t change anything. Some of us feel doomed. Some of us fight it tooth and nail... with bloody broken teeth and broken nails to prove it.

Healing... is that a negative word? Is that a sign of negativity?

Did you know that if you say: I need healing, what you are saying is that you are sick?

This includes inner healing, faith healing, etc...

And when you start from something wrong... like "I am sick", you are on your way to create a context that is misery every step of the way.

If I needed to define what negativity is, it"s that "what is is wrong, and it needs to be fixed."

Yesterday I was leading my Theta State training webinar, and I felt horrible. Partially, because I wasn"t feeling well myself. Partially because my students didn"t feel well. And yet partially because one of my students wrote to me, and I needed to feel their feelings stronger than they felt them... because I am an empath.

How superiority blocks you from growing. Are you perceptive, astute?

I do a lot of "work" that doesn"t look like work.

For example, asking the question: Is being perceptive a capacity?

It turns out that it is. It is on a scale of one to 100... very perceptive, somewhat perceptive, not perceptive.

Cats are not perceptive. Partially because their eyes are calibrated to only notice movement. A non-moving tasty bit of food, mouse, bug is like doesn"t exist for a cat. That is probably why they only eat food that stinks to my human nose... ugh. They can"t see it, can"t judge it from its look, color, etc.

Not perceptive.

So, in effect, perceptive is a capacity to see details, see much.

Should you read Kabbalah? I mean popular Kabbalah, Kabbalah the way the Kabbalah Centre teaches it

Kabbalah the way the Kabbalah Centre teaches it: Truth value: 10%


If you take out god, and incarnation, karma, law of attraction, etc., all the religious connotations: 19%


Compare the 19%


Compare it with the Old Testament: Truth value less than 1%

Compare it with the New Testament: Truth value less than 1%

Compare it with The Law of Attraction: Truth value less than 1%

Indian scriptures: Truth value 2%




Obviously your best bet is to read Kabbalah books, but to read them with the capacity of Discernment, also known as Astuteness, Mental Acuity, so you can allow the not true things to be there, but soak up the truth that is 19%.

So, obviously, Kabbalah doesn"t have all the truth. It has 19%.
The truth value of what I teach is 70%, so I don"t have all the truth either.

Does reading what I write give you 70% of the truth? I wish. You can"t get it, don"t get it, for two reasons:

Social Evolution... what level of evolution is your ethnicity at?

I am reading my n-th book on Genghis Khan and the Mongols. I don"t know how many thousands of pages... this book is about 2,000 pages: I am now used to reading really long books: Kindle makes it weightless.

There is something about Genghis Khan that talks to me. He was a great innovator and a visionary: envisioned a world of tolerance, commerce, division of labor... a grand vision.

One of the sentences he said is that everyone wants to belong, everyone yearns for a place and a community called home. That is what he used to build a huge empire, where instead of thousands of warring tribes, there was one tribe and on Khan.

Of course it didn"t last... all beautiful desires and visions are balanced out by tens of desires of greed, of anger, of vengeance, of pride, of ego. All societally defined values.

Genghis Khan didn"t want anything for himself, he wanted everything for his people...

What is the opposite of astute?

Astute is a word that 99% of people don"t know. Or if they know, they think it"s a bad thing. Like shrewd... it is a missing thing... It is not part of the vocabulary of the uneducated, unsophisticated, simple folks who live a pedestrian existence.

Words are great divider of people. If it is beyond you... if it is beyond your comprehension, you probably get found out by now knowing the word.

Now, with that said: astute is a person who can tell things apart, even similar things, with certainty, and ease.

People have certain areas where they are astute.
