Netflix addiction

Netflix is great. The shows are what the shows are.

And Netflix, or actually the shows can become addictive.

I watch Netflix almost every day. A number of shows start out OK, but turn addictive around season 4.

You notice that you became addicted if you are craving it, thinking about it, wishing it were already that time of the say when you can watch it.

The shows became addictive, according to what I"ve seen, when there is plot change that turns the show into more of a soap opera than independent episodes.

Soap operas were always addictive. But starting a show as a soap opera is counter productive: intelligent people aren"t attracted, off the cuff, to inane twists and turns of the plot.

Eat right, live right for your type... How to regain your health and vitality in a few weeks time

You want more out of life...

You want to raise your vibration... maybe that"s the way to attract love, money, happiness to your life.

But you don"t have enough energy to do the work that would raise your vibration...

You are stuck between a rock and a hard place...


We each want to be unique, special, one of a kind. At the same time we want to be able to pigeonhole ourselves, so we can know how we are, so we can know what to eat, or what to pursue in life.

The magic wand of instant change... aka manifestation

Context is one of those words that unless you have enough capacities, especially the big picture capacity, is impossible to explain... at least it"s been impossible for me to explain to you.

And yet, if you want to improve the quality of your life, the magic wand to do that is context.

You change the context and everything changes with it.

Your default context is, the context that is invisible to you, but obvious to everyone around you is not pretty. That is where you live... in that context.

But, you see, context is not something that if you understand then it becomes available to you...

In fact it is much like playing the violin: you can understand playing the violin... but that will not make you play the violin.

You need to DISTINGUISH for yourself, playing the violin, through playing the violin.

Maddening, isn"t it?

Attachments are like snakes you have hanging from you

I am trying to organize the information I provide people when they ask for their vibration, or whether they have attachments or not.

On a lark I measured if the student in the previous article had attachments. She felt so imprisoned... there must be a reason.

To my surprise she has 10 attachments.

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.

When something isn"t working consider that it"s because there is something that you don"t know.

When something isn"t working consider that it"s because there is something that you don"t know.

Whether the something that isn"t working is money, love, health, business, school... the answer is always "there is something you don"t know."

The brilliance of this statement that turned a broke loser, a serial nebbich, Harv Eker into a multimillionaire T. Harv Eker. The brilliance is that because you don"t know what it is that you don"t know... you need to open yourself up to looking. At everything. And a lot... Expose yourself to seeing stuff. He did it, and he is now rich. This one sentence, this one statement, this one habit.

This isn"t what he teaches, because this statement gives you all the power, and you don"t buy stuff when you have the power... He is so rich because no one understand this statement... But why?

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.

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.

Who or What is calling the shot in your life? Commitment - new thoughts, new experiences

This is a continuation of the c-word article... and the getting ready for a breakthrough article. Read them first or this article won"t make sense completely



Displacement of your commitment:
As I have written before, the "universe" or the aspect of you that conspires and is in kahutz with the Universe, will put up obstacles in your path, so instead of doing stuff that"s consistent with your commitment, you are now on a detour path: handling your obstacles.

Alex, a friend of mine, is dealing with his server and his websites being hacked... a moment after he made a commitment to growth. So he feels forced to deal with that, instead of following the path he set for himself.

You don"t know what you don"t know and You don"t even know there is something to know

First off: knowledge is grossly overrated.

Why? Because knowledge without application, without skills is useless. It won"t make you money, it won"t make you slim, good company, or a better driver.

We all grew up with the kind of education that emphasizes knowing, and we are all worse off for it.

Doing your soul correction, shifting your state of being, toughening up

What is the easiest method to shift someone"s state of being?

We already know. Children, when they cry because they hurt themselves, can be brought out of crying by directing their attention to something more interesting, more engaging.

We use it in the Soaring Method.

I use it in almost every coaching conversation I have with people who are stuck in some unproductive state of being, like sadness, despair, maybe even resistance.

State of being, mode of being, beingness... all are outside of what you call self-awareness...

Self-awareness on the level of human is all physical and emotional.

Sometimes all you need is a tiny nudge... and you can go from unhappy to happy.

As you may know, I am doing my second round of the 67 steps. In step 13 Tai says something like this: if you are not happy, don"t throw everything away. It is possible that the unhappiness is due to a mismatch of your current lifestyle with your social needs...

Huh?

So I went back in my memory to different stages of my business, or the different businesses I had. And lo and behold, I found something totally freaky: I was happiest when I had at least one person cooperating with me in my business. Even if the cooperation was minor, and we didn"t interact much. Just knowing that I am not alone transformed my experience.

Now, this is a big surprise to me.

It is counter intuitive. I didn"t know that I didn"t know. I wasn"t even looking in that direction

And it is something that I can easily apply, easily accommodate without changing anything else.

Why is awareness the predictor of future success, why not skills or knowledge?

The first few steps in the 67 steps are long, rich, convoluted audios. Why? Because no matter how long the audio, you"ll only get one little thing, if that, because the cone of vision of your awareness is as wide as a pencil.

Did I notice, did I take in all he spoke about my first time around doing the 67 steps? No. I didn"t.

It is like traveling in a car. If you look out the window, you miss the conversation in the car. If you take part in the conversation in the car, you miss the whole trip. If you read, if you are hungry...

The goal is to expand the cone of awareness so it"s wide. So you can see the view, partake in the conversation, and maybe even be hungry...
Now, that is, increasing your awareness is the goal... but how does it effect success?

Why you have been unable to change: The Savanna Principle

I am reading a book... 18% truth value, on evolutionary psychology.

What bothers me most is the air of authority these people that write books project... But, of course, real science doesn"t sell books...

Anyway, one of the things this book says that in the past 10,000 years we didn"t learn anything, because our brain was unable to...

And we haven"t been able to change our basic behavior... or our minds.

But recently I saw something that contradicts what the book says.

How to activate your relationship with your consciousness so you can be guided

Most things that happen inside you, inside Team-YOU, (Team You: body: feelings/emotions, mind, soul, ego, subconscious, history/ancestry, cells/DNA, self/identity, Self, consciousness)) are below your conscious awareness.

Most of the abilities, most of the DNA capacities I activate, need you to get aware of the happenings inside you, or you"ll lose out.

What do I mean "lose out"?

When you pay $25 for the activation of a capacity, an ability becomes available to you. If you don"t use it, you lose the $25. But what more you lose depends on the game you play in life.

Some people don"t play a big game, and for you the loss is negligible.
Some people play bigger game, and for you the loss is thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And for some of you, it"s millions of dollars, plus happiness, fulfillment, satisfaction, your legacy... you get the picture.

#Activation

Updated: Is being astute a good thing? Or does it mean you are a bad person who wants to deceive others?

If I asked you what will be the most important capacity to master in the coming years, you would come up with all kinds of capacities, but I bet you would not think of saying: becoming astute.

If you go to the online dictionary, like one of my students did, the one for whom I made this activators, you would not understand why that capacity is important.

Here is what the dictionary has to say:

as·tute
/??st(y)o?ot/
Adjective
Having or showing an ability to accurately assess situations or people and turn this to one"s advantage: "an astute businessman".
Synonyms
shrewd - sly - wily - crafty - canny - artful - sharp

To understand the meaning better, you look at the synonyms, and you are appalled, am I right? They are all words usually used to express one kind of deception or another.

But the meaning is only the first few words, the rest of them is added by "culture": "Having or showing an ability to accurately assess situations or people"

Of course you will turn everything to your advantage, after all accurate knowledge is power... I said accurate, because all the things that YOU know are not accurate, your vibration number belies that.

Your vibration number grows with the percentage of accuracy of your knowledge.

The anatomy of missing the mark

Have you been wondering why public services and big companies employ semi-morons for customer service?

I am, I think, supposed to mention this, given how many times it has happened in the past week.

Not every customer service person acts stupid, only most of them.

So what is their stupidity about? They only hear what they know. The filter of their mind screens out everything that is not the three-four basic issues: refund request, payment plan request, return request... you know the kind most people will have.

For every issue outside of the ones that the solution is standardized, the customer rep can"t hear...

The mind did not allow the person to interact with reality, only with what"s in the mind.

Spiritual Practice: Angry? Frustrated? Anxious? Ask: Does this benefit me?

You get angry, you get frustrated, you get anxious, you get jealous... you name it, the emotions pop up and you have nothing to do about them.

But... and this is a BIG but: A normal emotion comes and goes, like clouds on a windy day. Com and go... sunny, cloudy, sunny, cloudy.

Emotions and feelings are energies, and energy"s nature is to move. If they don"t, you have the static electricity thing going: and because energy MUST move, it will explode... like lightening.

You just have to hold onto the emotion by resisting it.

After all most emotions don"t feel good. I even dare say: held-onto emotions don"t feel good... even if it is happiness you are holding onto.

It"s like laughter: it is great. It is a great release. It is invigorating.

You are hardwired to be bad and pretend to be good or better than others

Until you can look inside at your ugliness, at your emptiness, at your hatefulness, spitefulness, gossipy judgmental behavior, and see it for what it is, you will NEVER raise your vibration.

But you have an issue: that ugliness is hardwired into humans.

#Integrity

Updated: Is the desire for perfection really a desire for perfection? Perfection vs. Integrity

This is a good question to chew on, observe, test out, for a True Empath.

The fate of humanity, and your personal well-being, evolution, raising your vibration, depends on your relationship to perfection.

How? Perfection is imposed. Perfection comes from your relationship with something outside of yourself. It"s a comparison, and you live in a constant fear of "falling from grace", falling short of perfection. The rules are set by others with an agenda. The agenda isn"t overt: in fact, it is a manipulative agenda. The goal is to keep you out of balance, keep you failing, keep you suppressed, keep you small and dependent. ((Judging from the number of people who are searching for the quote, "Now that you don"t have to be perfect, you can be good" relief from this "infection", relief from the obligation to be perfect is something you want... is that a correct assumption?))

Integrity is an inside job. It is between you and you. No one, outside of you, can judge your integrity. Of course, the way the word is used in everyday language makes it, for you, while you are unconscious, part of the perfection racket, but the "real" meaning of integrity is that you act consistent with YOUR interest, with YOUR values, with YOUR Self.

Integrity is an empowering concept, while perfection is disempowering. Integrity has no front office and back office, not shenanigans in the background, it is the same through and through.

While perfection is a Trojan horse. Once it is sneaked into you, you are a puppet on a string, at the mercy of the hidden agenda: you are an effect, never able to succeed in the impossible task of being "sinless". No one is. Your so-called saints are fakes and pretenders.

And it is NOT only Christianity that is intent on keeping you in mental slavery, it is also all the religions that talk about Karma, that consider imperfect action, mistakes, etc. something that a deity punishes.
