You can have anything but not at the same time

Life, happiness, well-being, prosperity is achieved and maintained only on a narrow and hemmed-in path (the strait), the opposite of what you wish it were, the opposite you see others have, the opposite you see on television, on ads.

You have been duped. You have swallowed the lie, hook, line and sinker and you have been paying the price.

Your life is empty, purposeless, meaningless, and you have nothing to look forward to.

Last night I was pondering, instead of sleeping, ((which is quickly becoming my new habit, I mean not sleeping,)) what is the behavioral, emotional age of all humans.

I came up with seven. Seven years old.

Is Tai Lopez 67 steps a fraud or have you been defrauded? the bad news...

I have been pondering something that has been really bothering me. I have diagnosed it 90% accurately, but I have no idea how to change it.

And that is the cultural shift towards avoiding work.

I first woke up to it when my favorite teacher, Robert Plank, called it a four letter word, and avoided using it.

The weird and disorienting fact was this: Robert loved getting things done. Actually really loved it. So it was the word, somehow, that appalled him. He lives in California... I thought maybe it had something to do with it.

But since then I realized that it is all over the place.

The media teaches us that work is ugly, or not necessary, or if you are smart you don"t have to work... and today any type of work is included. Even school work...

More on toughening up... and an exercise

More on toughening up...

When I first did the Landmark Forum (actually it was called The Forum in 1987) I remember, distinctly, experiencing, for the first time, that I am not alone.

There was so much misery shared in that room, that it caused a kind of comradery ((special friendship, or experience of being in battle together, that have experienced the crucible of combat together)), I wasn"t familiar with.

I remember thinking: If I am not alone, then it is not me... then it is something shared...

What if you have something blocking you from growing? The Seven Boulders principle

Some ten years ago I learned a valuable way of looking at making life meaningful, or living a meaningful life. The teacher suggested that we pick a horizon, a direction, and then look what"s blocking the way of getting there.

Since then I saw that even seeing the horizon is blocked... Blocked by seven boulders, lined up one behind the other, blocking your view, blocking your movement.

So, in my coaching practice, when I ask people to set a direction, and they can"t see any, I am inclined to suggest that they choose the direction: living a meaningful live, or a fulfilled life... without specifying what it is.

The goal is to see the first boulder that blocks your view, that blocks your path.

Can you tell what size is your cone of vision? Look to what degree your live is fragmented...

Your vibration, your creativity, your truth value all depends on your cone of vision... But until you see that you have a narrow cone of vision, that you look at things with narrow cone of vision, or a narrow filter, you won"t want to make it wider.

Wide cone of vision means inclusive... narrow cone of vision is exclusive... exclusive of areas that you KNOW don"t matter, don"t belong, or you don"t like them. Exclusive because you KNOW the answer...

The most exciting insights first show up in the corner of your eyes... Which means they are literally outside of your cone of vision.

One way I see this is how attached you are to one area of life, or one way to do it, or one problem you have.

For some: it is their soul correction. They scratch the wound until it bleeds, and neither the soul correction issue moves, nor their lives move... it is a strategy.

Strait and narrow is transferred on land. It may be narrow, but it is not the strait. Strait means a narrow path of water between land masses.

If you are on a ship, talking about the land is irrelevant, won"t allow you to pass.

For others it is laziness.

But for most, it"s the soul correction...

Soul correction is one way the "Universe" is telling us that there is some design... otherwise soul correction categories would not exist. Or horoscope signs.

And most soul corrections narrow your cone of vision to not see all of what can be seen. Not even look.

I am a "Forget Thyself" soul correction. I need people to condescend upon, feel superior to.
I avoid people in position of authority. And I have been avoiding my older brother. I have dug up some information that could be useful for her wife"s health, but decided that he"ll knock me for it... so I didn"t do it.

This week I called him, and he was gracious, maybe even grateful. I wasn"t superior. Instead I looked wider, and was helpful, loving, sharing? Without the big ego.

Summon different ways of being... wider cone of vision...

Because it really not physical seeing as much as spiritual seeing.

In the sentence: how you do anything is how you do everything is true, because of your narrow cone of vision with regards to approach, attitude, being.

Giving lip service to higher states of being is not being that way. Talking about flying isn"t...

You know your dominant being: cheerful, gloomy, withholding, belligerent, self-aggrandizing, slimy, slippery, avoiding, domineering, judgmental, fearful, suppressed, tentative, deceitful, delusional, arrogant...

I am actually looking at actual people in that list above.

You know who you are.

Sometimes I give exercises to expand your repertory of ways to be.

Like most actors, you play life the same way, no matter what the movie.

And then are a few actors, very few, Meryl Streep, for example, who can change the how.

You are not locked in... just there is more pull to be one way. Boring, predictable, lifeless.

And what you see while you are that

The Pleasure Principle and winning in life

Psychology, as a science and as a practice has some tools: Observation and brain scans.

But the problem with either is that the human element, the interpreter between what is being seen, their mindset, their attitude, their approach, is crucial.

But, of course, this is true everywhere, except with psychologists, we expect them to interpret what they observe accurately... except they don"t. As a rule.

And then there are some outliers... like Freud.

I am observing myself, and I am observing my students.

And I am getting clearer and clearer, that The Pleasure Principle is indeed one that has to be taken seriously.

Is the "law" of attraction a useful tool to get what you want?

People mostly want money. And almost as many people want love. It is all desire for the self alone. Greed.

You want what you want and how you want it on the vibrational level where you are.

Vibrational level, roughly, means: how many and which capacities of the 160 DNA capacities you use in your life.

Most people who are interested in the law of attraction racket are people who have 10-20 capacities of the 160 activated, but only use 10 of those 20.

That should tell you something: you live in a tiny box, self-imposed, and hope in a miracle. Read articles on the law of attraction hoping that you"ll be able to manipulate your mood to attract what you want...

Not going to work...

You are lazy, cowardly, with an avoiding nature. You know little, mostly things not worth knowing. You are not often willing to do anything new, and then you do it poorly.

7 steps to create ease and grace about making money?

What does it take to have, make, save, invest, and spend money in a way that you end up enjoying it, benefiting from it, being enriched by money?

Before we can talk about money, we need to define what we mean by abundance... Abundance is a being that says: All is well with the world. Abundance is also an experience.

I don"t know anyone who lives in abundance, although all of us have experienced abundance for moments, minutes, hours... sometimes even days. Don"t kid yourself, rich people don"t live in abundance... every person I have ever checked, had some version of anxiety in them.

And yet... abundance is our birthright... we are hardwired for abundance. But because...

You want to change your actions? Don"t bother with the mind!

I am not hundred percent clear on the topic, but I am going to start it anyway.

We, humans, think that our minds dictate and direct our actions, and we are desperately trying to change our minds, if we don"t like the actions, or strengthen the mind if we do.

But what if the mind has nothing to do with our actions.

I am reading a book about this, this is probably why I paid attention today, when this happened:

It"s very hot today. As my habit, I leaned into the bath tub and opened the cold shower to cool off.

Emotional Shock Absorber... like that name?

One of the technical things a human can apply to their own life, to their emotional life, is the shock absorber.

The shock absorber reduces the load on every part of the vehicle, your foot, on your head... whereever you are utilizing it... and if used properly, your emotional and physical self.

The bombardment of humanity with negative emotions is continuous. There is no shield, there is no distance, there is no bunker that can protect you... but you can use the shock absorber...

An emotion only wreaks havoc when it"s resisted.

If you keep forgetting what you are up to... or if you keep procrastinating

The fear of losing sight of what you want...

You know what you want. And you want to march to it now. But of course the world doesn"t work that way, you need to sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, job, family...

Then opportunities knock. For some, opportunities for fun and companionship. For others, adventure, business, learning.

They say: don"t take your eyes off the ball... That turns out to be another myth that takes away your power to reach your goal, to get what you want.

Nothing can be reached by a straight line, except the refrigerator, the TV and your bed. Oh, and facebook and youtube... Even my site...

So how does this really work?

The secret words that activate a dormant DNA

After your anchor-to-doom attachment is pulled... A whole new set of choices show up... Will you choose differently? All future depends on that.

As you know I use my own life as a kind of laboratory to test if there are really changes when I say there will be changes, and if indeed the new choices will give you a new life.

I am at a point of choice, so let us see the whole process, and see what we see. OK?

For background, enough to suffice, I hope, that just having a website, one website, and even lots of unique articles won"t get you far in today"s economy. You need to have and you need to do a lot more to make a living.

About six-seven weeks ago I set up such a supportive system on a well recommended web hosting site, and it took a lot of work. Then the web hosting site decided to do some internal work, and it hasn"t gone well. My supportive system (100 websites) is entirely offline. I am paying 99 dollars rent. And they don"t seem to care about me.

Now, here it is where it gets juicy for our purposes.

When your successes are temporary and your failures always return... The anchor to doom attachment

The anchor to your doom attachment
What gives it away is the implied inevitability. The language. That it"s always, or never.

Like I am never going to be successful. Stings. Hurts. My eyes are watering. I scramble to avoid it, fight mightily, only to give up after a while and resign... burn, and get up from the ashes like a phoenix bird... This has been the story of my life. Horrid.

Now, imagine free falling towards the Earth, accelerating. Your language, I guess: I am going to die. I am going to be pulped by the impact.

Imagined it? Now imagine that I order you to pay attention to the weather, to the shape of the clouds in the sky.

When you realize that YOU are wasting your life... Updated

How do YOU waste your life? How do YOU leak?
A student of mine watched a movie last night. In the movie she heard the following dialogue:

"Thank you for saving my life" "Don’t waste it."

She cried. Later her husband was picking a fight with her. She stepped back ((she"d learned how to in the Second Phase Activators course)) and didn"t react.

An hour later the husband came downstairs. She offered him tea. He apologized for his behavior.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because one way or another we are all wasting our life, or most of it.

The most useful question I have found to snap me out of this wasteful way of being is:
What is using my perfectly good life right now?

Here are some examples. All are life-wasters that you can eliminate by bringing consciousness to life... stopping for a moment, and choose.... Helping you with that are, of course, the the activators.

What is Worse Than Procrastination?

Exchanging the dollars for pennies...

This is a second article about procrastination and it deals with an aspect of "not doing what you said you"d do" that needs to be talked about: choosing something easy to do instead.

Something that comes easy to you, something that uses up your time, takes away your attention to what you said you wanted to do... and leaves you with no energy, no future, no self, no integrity, and no gusto, no elan, can"t find an English word... real pleasure in life.

So, what are the things you do, I do, to avoid growing, to avoid the discomfort of the action that would take us to where we want to be?

Avoiding negativity? Wish the world to be as positive as you are?

Warning: the pictures in this article are illustrations for how you serve the Dark Side, how you make Evil grow in the world...

If you wanted to see, clearly, what are the tools that cause humanity to go backwards, please go and read Brave New World, again, but this time with this distinction in mind:

When you don"t with to see parts of reality because it"s ugly, you become not only unconscious, but you take away your Consciousness ability to inform you about what is right and what is wrong.

If you find yourself being undisciplined... this is the reason.

Unless you have the gumption to look at ugly square in the face, see it for what it is, you are serving the Powers That Be... that wants you to be sheep.

So, how does it work?

Do you allow yourself to be sad? On the first spring day?

I was feeling blue today. I opened the windows, and the noise from the outside was deafening... compared to the silence I have enjoyed all winter. I got a headache, I started to think of moving to someplace where it"s quiet... no grass mowers, no road repair, no people.

I felt the sadness. Grieving. My mind was digging up stories of sadness. One of my favorite book characters is sad, and is attracted to sad women... Henry Bosch.

Especially around a character, Cassie Black who later re-appears as Lena, if I remember correctly. Sad. Loss. Aloneness.

Reader questions about archetypes, manifestation, and persistent blockages, Andy Shaw"s Bug Free Mind...

I was thinking of making this an article, but I think, as a question and answer type of post it will work better...

I am sure after reading this, you will have plenty of questions. Please post them in the comment section of this post: that way I can answer many readers all at once. Thank you. PS: Important: Read the summary at the end about the bug free mind, the good, the bad, and the ugly!
Question #1: So, I have been observing my thoughts and emotions as they come up just like you mentioned and I am learning to surrender to everything, including negativity.
I have heard that surrendering to negativity involves feeling the emotion in its full form instead of trying to suppress them.
When you feel an emotion of sadness and start to have some tears instead of suppressing them, are you doing it right?
Because at the same time, I do not want to be giving energy to these negativity and hence manifesting them so yeah...

Spiritual Laws that you obey or disobey at the expense of your vibration: The Law of Flexibility

Ask anyone; the happiest moments of one"s life are the moment when we find ourselves in our vertical self... or at least centered and grounded in the bottom of it.

It doesn"t happen a lot, because we are brought up and encouraged to live in our horizontal being.
