What is the "real" meaning of little hinges swing big doors? What glorious thing can it mean to you?

What is the "real" meaning of little hinges swing big doors? And what is the practical benefit of knowing it? And putting it to work in your life.

The difference between the 99% and the 1% is what we are talking about in this article.

You may or may not be able to raise yourself to the level of the 1%, but you"ll move from wherever you are to a lot higher in income, life satisfaction, etc. depending on how well you employ this new thing... that at present you probably have never thought of.

You are smart... right? Well, no. Unless your life shows that, let"s consider that you may be smart, but your actions aren"t.

THE missing piece of the BIG puzzle... ((...I first started to sense that there is a puzzle piece there, when I borrowed billionaire Charlie Munger"s book list. And then I got a pdf from "Pete Williams, the Richard Branson of Australia", the 7 levers of doubling your business in just seven weeks... and then Pete Willams book, Cadence.

...From that point on I saw everything through that filter... I watched Frank Kern"s short videos, some 20 of them so far. I listened to Robert Plank"s webinars with new ears. And started to teach differently, to look at what I am doing to help you be the best version of yourself...))

When you have to work too hard, when you don"t have time, when you don"t feel well, when you feel that your life is empty... The missing piece is probably the same in all those complaints...

One of the things that cause this discrepancy, this ever widening gap between what you could do (smart) and what you actually do (your results) is a missing piece of the puzzle.

What puzzle? you ask. The puzzle of life. The puzzle of producing results... big results, in reality.

The distinction is called system or system"s thinking. ((Systems can be found everywhere, in nature, in our bodies, in our political system, in economy, in money, in manufacturing, in writing a book... everywhere. Global warming NOT looked through a system results in actions that worsen it instead of slowing it down.
.
Most scientists, most politicians, most people don"t even consider that they are part of a system, and what they deal with are systems. Their linear approach, their lack of seeing the system is what makes humans likened to cancer... cancer behaves like it is independent of the system it invades... and it destroys it.
.

.
Each system can also be viewed as a collection of seesaw systems in relation to each element of the larger system... In my example of health, if you eat more of something, you tip the balance of nutrients, and you"ll be deficient in the other nutrient...
.
For example, I make several hot drinks for myself during the day. Why? I like hot drinks. My hot drinks system cycles through many of my allowed foods, peanut butter, butter, coffee, goat cheese. One drink of each, but butter and goat cheese... But the more hot drinks I consume, the less solid food my body needs... and ultimately I create another imbalance... Sigh... such is the nature of reality.
.
A client of mine is very fond of seeds and nuts. He eats them by the handful... and he finds his health number plummet. Shows a lack of knowledge of systems... We have discussed this since... But the discussion didn"t cause any change in behavior, or in change in his health number. Only actions cause change.))

I know you know the word, but knowing the word doesn"t mean you have the distinction, that you EVER look through that distinction.

Your actions tell me, not your words. Your results tell me, not your words.

So what is a system?

A system is interconnected elements. Each can be individually tweaked, each can be individually optimal or sub-optimal.

Your results are always the results of the system.

Let"s take a system: your body. Let"s measure the result: your health number. Anything from zero (dead) to 100%.

How many interconnected elements play a part in your health?

In my health consulting I pay attention, I measure

the obvious input:

food list
nutrients (your 90 essential nutrients)

and the not so obvious

the water
the eating style (this is the when to eat and how to eat)
variety
acidity,
leptins

One of my clients decided that he knows better, and changed every element of that list, how it applies to him, and dug himself in a hole where his health number is now 3%, he smells bad, and he is weak and tired.

I sent him to a medical doctor for examination: I don"t want to deal with undisciplined clients, and his symptoms sounded like he has an underlying illness.

His results are that his blood has too much iron, and his hemoglobin is low. Hemoglobin is what carries oxygen to every part of the body. If it is low: you are weak.

Blood is a system inside a system. Iron up, hemoglobin down... always playing the see-saw game.

The doctors are deciding if he has hemochromatosis, a genetic imbalance, where you have to donate a pint or two blood out every month or so, so your body can live.

But what they won"t consider, because they never consider nutrition, these Western Medicine doctors, what my client eats and what he doesn"t.

I do.

So I gave him a brand spanking new food-list, that I muscle tested, and it is all vegetables. Not a hint of animal food.

Because what he was doing is eating only animals, double portions, feeling always hungry.

Another system in your body is the digestive system. Each system has its own see-saw, protein metabolism needs acid to work. Above a certain age your acid becomes weak... or if you eat too much protein, the acid you have cannot digest it... so it will rot in your bowels undigested, poisoning you.

Indigestion masquerades as hunger, so he ate more worsening his condition. Even though his eating style says: eat only when you have a full-on appetite, the body"s signal that it is ready to digest new food.

Doctors are not taught to ask these questions, to look at the what, the how, the when, so they have no idea what causes the imbalance and the illness.

Unless you bring systems thinking to your health, you"ll have poor health.

When I measure people"s startup measurements, I measure their health number. I have found only one person who had higher than 10% measure. She had a 12% health numbers.

The health number only measures your maximum with your actual... so my 30% health number doesn"t compare with your 30%, if you are younger than me.

While I was sick, I made many mistakes myself... I am just now straightening out my behavior...

You and your doctors weren"t taught, don"t think to look, or cannot look at your health as a system... your digestion as a system within a system, your circulation as a system within a system.

It is not easy...

You don"t even know that you are ignorant, do you?

Here is another area where not thinking in systems is costly, maybe even deadly: business.

Whether you are the owner of your business, you are a freelancer, or you are an employee, a homemaker, you are always in business.

And every business is a system. Every business has at least 7 hinges, small hinges, that swing big doors... the business results: the business"s profitability, how much time you have left after fulfilling the business"s needs, how much fun you have doing it.

Your life is a system... with smaller systems within the system
Self-actualization is a system...

My methodology is to help you build a system that serves all your life, your wealth, your health, your relationships, and your fulfillment/growth on the highest possible level, given what you have going for you.

We sometimes call this "spinning many plates"...

It"s most obvious in that context, spinning plates, why the whole outcome, your wealth, your health, your relationships and your fulfillment suffer: you dropped some plates.

If you are inconsistent, prone to urges, prone to "i want to do what I want to do when I want to do it" childish behavior, you will never be able to operate your life as a system, and you won"t grow.

Can"t.

Your past performance in life is an indicator... sorry to break it to you.
Your starting point measurements, what your past performance has "bought" you tells the story.

I"ll know what is the lowest hanging fruit. The low hanging fruit is the easiest hinge/lever to handle and get big initial results.

But the most important handle is not part of the system, it is the context of the system: what gives you juice in life.

Life is a discovery, and adventure, says one of my students
Life is to be the one who lets the spirit fly
Life is bringing the divine to everything
Either everybody counts, or nobody counts, says Harry Bosch

All my heroes have a juice, and organizing principle, in their lives. Sometimes you need to do work to dig it out, but it"s there.

White Fang, Howard Roark, Socrates...

The juice, the organizing principle is what makes life worth living.

And the system that allows you to live life powerfully. All those plates I ask you to spin...

The biggest missing is that you may spin some plates in some area, but the moment you get to another area of life, you drop all those plates.

You live a fragmented life... a life that isn"t going to amount to much.

No organizing principle, no seamless life.

Plates crashing signals a life crashing. A sad sound.

Three methods of growing yourself over time

I read some new self-growth suggestions, some new methods to grow yourself from the series of books I am reading.

I"ll mention three of those in this article.

• One: as soon as you wake up, look who you are going to help today. And put the question on your reticular activator, the part of you that once it trusts you, will do almost all the work of finding stuff for you... The rule of this spiritual practice is: you need a new person every day.


• Two: grow 1% every day in health, wealth, love and fulfillment.

In six months you"ll double yourself in all of those areas. ((Some of my coaching conversations to illustrate how I attempt to cause growth....

Yeah. some people’s world view is that they can do a campaign, and then just hang out. And you can, but it is the style of Sisyphos… starting over again at the bottom of the mountain.

This is why I talk a lot about spinning plates. At least daily energy infusion, energy injection is needed to keep the plates spinning. All the plates. And a Michael Jordan will speed the plates up at least occasionally, but will intend every day.

The dude talks about 1% increase. So I have been observing myself, and I can see that even 1% increase is hard… even in just one area. At least for me… And unless you see how to get better in all four areas, unless you see the things that increase them, you won’t.

Unless you live like Babe Ruth played, pointing over the fence, you cannot create consistent, steady growth...

I see, for myself, a non-slipup in health… but no growth opportunity other than not going backwards. I cannot see, yet, how I could get even healthier...

I see, for myself, a path to increase in business… yaay.

I don’t see emotional or spiritual path to growth… I am looking, but so far haven’t seen.

Michael Jordan saw, a direction in the area of basketball.

What do YOU see?

And another student, another conversation:

I looked at your health. Spring coming, I think we need a retesting... a follow up session.

You ask me what would make you more humble. But humble is not a doing. It is a being. And if someone else tells you what to be, then you don"t change, you don"t grow. There is no skin in the game...

Here is a question: how much better have you gotten in health, wealth, love and fulfillment in the past week? in the past month? in the past 3 months?

And how will you get better at in the next week, next month, next three months? In health, wealth, love and happiness?

When you get better, do you build on it, or do you allow it to go back to how it was before?

These questions will guide you. Or not... ))

Both methods are effective... unless.

A normal person in the normal course of their lives do not grow. Not at all.

But why?

I have been looking what it would look like for me to grow. I started to see a few things, about myself that you"ll recognize.

Growth has a direction. And unless you set a direction, you"ll, at best, will go in a circle, and at worst downwards.

So something needs to be opened up, a sight, that is now closed.

This same author also talks about becoming an idea machine. A machine that can generate good ideas.

You won"t become an idea generating machine overnight. If you take on this path in earnest, most of the time you"ll stare into nothing, and come up with nothing.

But that, staring into nothing, is not wasted time. Eventually your machine will obey. Eventually.

The path to any capacity to open up in your DNA is to need it... or the body won"t release the lock on the capacity. ((Capacities can be expressed or locked in your DNA. I have written about this before...))

The first capacity to open up is awareness.

Awareness means, on this level, seeing. Seeing, outside of the mind, where reality happens.

Awareness is a number between 1 and 100... and most of you have an awareness of 0.

It takes work to open up your awareness, and it takes work to increase your awareness, and asking yourself to come up with ideas, good ideas, every day, is work.

Eventually you"ll become aware that you are trying to get water from a stone, meaning you are trying to get ideas from your mind. The mind has no ideas to give you... and it will run out of recycled ideas pretty soon.

No water. The mind is like a cave: it cannot give you what it doesn"t have.

If you keep at it, you"ll eventually go where ideas are: outside. In reality. Billions...

Any of these three paths is effective... over time.

The secret is to never let up.

Unless it"s a daily practice, unless your eventual gains are turning into more gains, you"ll be a "normal" human who never grows...

In observing myself, I do see that no matter what level you are at, growth is hard work. Especially if you fancy it will happen.

• Fantasy: You have a delusional view about reality. Zombies chasing mirages. This is how you imagine it will happen: You"ll hear something new, you"ll attend a workshop, or read an article, or have a health session, and next day, next week you"ll be all grown, all done.


• Reality: Most days I experience no growth. Moreover, many days there is negative growth. Then some actions do cause a cumulative effect, and I notice that I can do something I could not do before.

The secret is consistency. And intentionality. And humility.

Day in/day out.

When you bring this day in/day out attitude to growth, then your reticular activator, your DNA, your life start obeying, eventually.

If you are sporadic, or bring a campaign/homework attitude to life, your reticular activator shuns you, your DNA, your life will not obey.

In my strategy sessions I am looking at people, and I am looking if there is a spark.

A spark that would indicate to me that investing you could start a "forest fire"...

A person, the other day, said, several times: "If I want to be honest with myself..." and then said what she saw: that she wasn"t all she fancied herself to be.

Most people are never honest with themselves.

Badgering yourself, putting yourself down, saying bad things about yourself is not honesty... it is a strategy to avoid doing anything that would make you better.

And most people are like that.

I call the attitude this woman has: looking with sober eyes. Exceptional, and rare.

Money Workshop

In today"s money workshop you"ll have the opportunity to bring sober eyes to your attitudes about money.

Your attitudes about money are the exact same attitudes as your attitudes about life: health, wealth, love and happiness. Or said differently: your physical body, your emotional body, your mental body, and your spiritual body are warped by the same attitudes...

So looking at your attitude about money is simply looking where it"s the easiest to see.

The workshop attempts to take you to see what attitude, what spiritual capacity you lack. Any spiritual capacity can be opened up with any of these three methods, over time.

A capacity that is opened even just 5% is now a working capacity... and you can start growing yourself in earnest.

But, if you go back to the beginning of this article, you cannot get water from a rock... you have to get out of your mind and into reality, where all the good things live.

And that is your challenge.

Everyone wants to improve their financial situation without humility, consistency and intentionality. And without work.

But unless you say "If I want to be honest with myself..." and start to nudge and nudge and nudge the missing capacity, YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE.

Doesn"t that sound very negative? But reality is a cause and effect phenomenon.

Unless you grow, you don"t.

The next Money workshop is this afternoon at 2 pm NY time.

https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/rt/478944355868846851

Just want to listen? Not in my workshops, sorry. As soon as I notice you are not participating, I"ll remove you from the workshop.

All growth is active. All my energies are interactive. You don"t want to do? I don"t want you because I cannot make a difference with you.

But, if you go back to the beginning of this article, you cannot get water from a rock... you have to get out of your mind and into reality, where all the good things live.

And that is your challenge.

Everyone wants to improve their financial situation without humility, consistency and intentionality. And without work.

But unless you say "If I want to be honest with myself..." and start to nudge and nudge and nudge the missing capacity, YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE.

Doesn"t that sound very negative? But reality is a cause and effect phenomenon.

Unless you grow, you don"t.

The next Money workshop is this afternoon at 2 pm NY time.

Just want to listen? Not in my workshops, sorry. As soon as I notice you are not participating, I"ll remove you from the workshop.

All growth is active. All my energies are interactive. You don"t want to do? I don"t want you because I cannot make a difference with you.

Abilities that are not available until your health number is above 50%

When you are not well, you are in survival mode. Everything is an is, and the questions you ask are from that "is".

When you are well, you can start to ask different questions, that widen your cone of vision, that deepen your field of depth perception.

Questions like:

What am I missing here? What else could I/should I be asking?
What am I not looking at? What is outside of my survival, business as usual narrow cone of vision?

But there is a caveat: Even after people getting healthy or healthier (above 50%), changing habits, even though you can, doesn"t come naturally.



Survival mode is most recognized by the narrow cone of vision.

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.

Connecting to Source your way

I think we humans are alternating between two extremes: being slavish, and being arrogant.

Either extreme is detrimental to your growth as a person.

I have been in an email exchange with a woman who tries to connect every day, and then describes to me her experience and asks me to muscle test if she connected or not.

I comply, but even from her experience it is clear to me that she imagined how it could feel to connect to something... but the experience of connecting to Source is not even similar to what she describes.

She promised to actually do it with me and with the video... but I doubt she will. We each have a bend: slavish or arrogant.

Her bend is arrogant. ((By the way it is through and through... The arrogance of the very young, teenager, even though she is over 50. I remember when I was asking myself: why go to university? I already know everything.

Nobel prize laureate writer, Elie Wiesel said, I think in a commencement address something like this: every generation thinks that they are the first person to tread this earth. Every generation thinks that the thoughts that they think are new, fresh, and revolutionary. And every generation refuses to find out what thousands of generations have thought... That is arrogance.

So you see, we are all arrogant, some of us know it, and stop for a moment and ask: what if I don"t know everything? Hah. What if my whole knowledge sits on the wrong foundation?: hah... And stay in the inquiry. Inquiry is humble.))

What is arrogance? Arrogance is when you think there is nothing to know beyond what you already know. The opposite of arrogance is humility... the kind where you declare yourself incompetent so you can actually learn, fully, what is being taught.

Most of us hear what we are told as maybe missing pieces to our completely built wall... missing bricks if you will.

But that arrogant world view says: My wall is correct, it just misses a few pieces here and there.

But what if your wall isn"t correct? What if it is all b.s. that you made up, heard, gleaned, incorrectly... and now you try to add pieces to it that fit... but the result will be a b.s. wall.

You are arrogant and you don"t even know it.

If you could destroy that arrogance, you"d have some hopes for growth, building a world view that matches how it is more closely, and more importantly, you"d be willing to destroy what you have and build a new one, so you don"t have to carry the faulty sickening view of the world, that got you where you got to: utter incompetence masquerading as "smart", misery, relationships that don"t work, purposeless life, no skills... the whole catastrophic lack of wholesomeness I see in your responses.

But you, in your arrogance, want to keep what you have, and only add to it.

It"s like me trying to fix the first meal I ever cooked by adding salt to it in the end: disgusting...

Destroying your world view, of course, takes courage. But unless you are willing to do it,

"some weeds produce chemicals that stunt the plant"s growth"
synonyms: inhibit, impede, hamper, hinder, restrict, retard, slow, curb, check More)) your growth...

Our minds are filled with truisms, memes, quotes, that are actually lies.

The lies are carefully designed. Designed by Dark, Evil People... who benefit from you being sheep.

If you believe them, you"ll do their bidding... you"ll make them money, you"ll put them in power.

There are a lot of lies, but in this article I am only concerned with the lies that prevent you from growing, evolving, and thus make you miserable.

This article will specifically show the lies that stunt your growth as a human...

If a tree falls in the forest: does it make a sound?

One of the horrible things I experience, often, is that people never ask: "why should I care?"

Why that is horrible? Why that is disappointing?

Because that question would show that the pilot light of intelligence is not completely extinguished in you. You have never asked that question? Now you know what it means.

Back in 1977, shortly after I won my first architectural competition, and therefore was wealthier than most people I knew, I fell ill: my sinuses put me to bed with high-high fever. I could not sleep 24/7, so I turned to a book, Aldous Huxley"s Brave New World ((Some quotes:
Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.

An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.

Maybe this world is another planet"s hell.


)). At some point I had a revelation: The society I lived in, the ideology I believed in, was beautiful, except that it worked for no one, no person living in it. It stifled the human spirit, stunted the growth of its people: did not allow for the evolution of humanity.

What causes success?

When you have a success, when you have even had a successful life, people ask you what you attribute it to. What was responsible for your success.

They ask you so they can learn from you. ((Most of your teachers are guessing at the cause of success, and then teach it to you. No wonder you don"t succeed with their teaching! But, of course, most people have no idea what is important and what isn"t... for them everything is the same as everything else... except that not always.

This is where mental acuity, seeing things for what they are, is mandatory... Unfortunately, mental acuity is as rare as the kohinoor diamond...))

But... it is hard to know what was the duplicatable, repeatable step that made all the difference.

I have successful students and I have not so successful students.

Today, after my best article, ever, I looked and found that ALL the successful students started to get successful after they put the "there is nothing wrong here" spiritual practice in place.

How to ground yourself when everything seems to effect you strongly?

Do you often feel like a leaf that is tossed around by every wind, your thoughts, your emotions, the opinions of others, fashion, urges etc.?

When you give up the big game because it looks, feels impossible, because you succumb to hopelessness

I just came back from my weekly grocery shopping.

I sat down by the computer when a wave of hopelessness washed over me. "Why bother, it"s never going to work, no one is interested... Just watch Netflix..." suggested the feeling.

Modern gurus: The business of consolation, the business of confirmation

I had a "guru" ask for his vibration today. Nice guy. Low vibration.

The truth... or how come all the sages haven"t made a difference?

Let me first define what I mean by "making a difference..." because there is a lot of mischief about that in common language. Because it"s been a slogan. Because it has been a bromide for so long.

OK, explanation: if I am hired to design a system that reduces the carbon dioxide load... to turn around the Global Warming... I am asked to "make a difference", i.e. to alter the future.

If I didn"t do that, but a lot of people are now arguing about it...
If I didn"t do that, but a few people in rich countries are using wind power and solar power... did I make a difference? No.

Voluntary slavery

Sometimes I see something, or read something, and it hooks me.

I weep about it, dream about it, ponder about it.

If I know what it is that is significant, or if I even know what it is that I saw, I write a blogpost about it. After all, unless it is shared, I have a sense that it sunk back into the undifferentiated nothingness... as if it never happened.

This is why I ask my students to share... so far no one has gotten it... the gift that it is.

Coughing and sneezing in the morning?

Coughing and sneezing are designed by the body as a strategy to eject an intruder. Mucus membranes overflow and cover the offending object, the intruder, and then a lot of air is to push it out.

The question is: what is the offending object?

Grow like a tree! Inside where it matters...

I got an insight in how you think through an email interaction with a client of mine.

She thanked me for talking to her. Something didn"t sit well with me about that, so I answered:

By the way, if I were you, and someone did what I do with you, then this is what I would say
Thank you for seeing me as someone who can grow, even when I don"t see it.
Thank you for being there so I can grow and I can grow fast
Thank you for holding the space for me to be all I can be.

In nature, seniority doesn"t earn you anything

In workplaces people earn extra money etc. because they have been there longer than others.

In nature, seniority doesn"t earn you anything. Seniority is a socialistic, communistic notion where what you do, how well you do it, how much you do, does not matter. A sure way to create generations of people who don"t know how to produce, don"t grow, but feel entitled, and in effect they are freeloaders.

Then add the welfare system, the food stamps, the current trend of chanting: take care of the disadvantaged, and we end up with a society where it"s not worth to be good, to be a producer, to work even.

And we end up with a humanity that is steeply declining.

There is another phenomenon, the squeaky wheel: the ones that make the most noise, are the most demanding, that get the attention.
