If meaning makes the difference between a life worth living and a life not, why do some people take to it and most people don"t?


  • intellectual capacity? somewhat

  • having the spiritual capacity to see the big picture in width and it time? mostly

  • willingness to be responsible, willingness to cause the context.

  • courage to cause the context


Being a sheep means lack of courage, lack of vision, lack of responsibility

Stuck energy. Stinginess.

For you everything looks like everything else


I have been growing by leaps and bounds for the past two and a half years... faster since I started to go to my weekly senior exercise classes 20 months ago.

Before that I went to a chiropractor three times a week... and got hardly any results. Mostly none. Actually I was getting worse. Why? Because of giving away my responsibility to get well.

It is hard to see why when you are not aware, when you have no distinctions, when everything looks the same to you as everything else.

In order to see anything different, to see more, you need to get out of your usual one way of looking mode, or you won"t...


We humans are oriented vertical and at right angles... At school they tell you: sit straight. Or sit "up".

And the result: we all see the same things, the same way...

With the exception of the weirdos...

We slowly lose our ability to move, to be flexibly, to use our bodies outside of the vertical.

Physical therapists need to move your limbs for you, because you have no sideways flexibility, no sideways mobility.

Milton Trager created a simple moving regimen that when followed faithfully, creates a pain free (or less pain) ageless body.

I am really lucky to have found this class where half of the movements are sideways, oiling and unstucking my body and my view.


Obviously everyone has a different result in the same class.

You get back commensurate ((commensurate:
corresponding in size or degree; in proportion.
"salary will be commensurate with experience"
synonyms: equivalent, equal, corresponding, correspondent, comparable, proportionate, proportional
)) with what you put in. This is true in everything. In love, in sex, in a class...

People have a mistaken belief that you can dabble, that you can withhold your energy, and get the same thing back as someone who puts all power in all action.

As I have said in other places, humanity is stuck on the level of stingy... want to get their money"s worth, so to say.


I obviously have a different "religion"... probably because I am dyslexic.

I have always put in unmeasured, and was happy getting what I got. Always. I don"t have any value for energy I didn"t spend, didn"t expend. You cannot save energy, you cannot store up energy. It becomes poison when you do.

Energy is only energy when it is flowing... When it isn"t, it makes you stuck. Rigid. Frozen. Encased. ((Like emotions... unless you allow it to move, it turns into toxin. When you allow it to move it is over faster than you can say blahblahblah. Really. The longer you feel emotions the more stuck you are everywhere.))

Why do I have this knowledge and not you?


I guess I was lucky in two ways: My parents didn"t talk to me, and the one advice my father gave me was about how to not block energy... And he spoke from Tree of Life: he went from poor orphan to a statesman and a revered scientist using the advice he gave me.
He said: let go. Let go and it will be over that much faster.

At the time I didn"t understand: my whole identity was vested in being someone who was raped, what was going to be raped... And I took his advice relating to that: that I should let whoever wants to rape me rape me.

Of course that is not what he meant...
but when you have the whole world about you, as I was, you create a meaning that is all about you.

So it took me till I was about 40 years old to even consider letting anything go.

And I was stiff. And I was hurting. And I was miserable... and stuck.
Moving your body outside of the vertical, gracefully and fluidly unstucks your whole self, not just the body. Unstucks your view of life.

The Indians have the right idea with yoga: body and your inner world are connected and go in the same way... but they have the wrong execution: most yoga poses keep you in the vertical. Nothing gets unstuck inside or outside.

There are a few moves, but not many. The Lotus sitting position, and any pose where you stand on one foot... where you need to balance on your feet or your head, or your hands... but that"s it.

Of course this whole article is a theory. And like any theory it has a truth value. So what is the truth value of this theory? I muscle test: 80%. What is not true about it? The tense of the verbs. I say "you will get unstuck" and it should say: You could get unstuck.

What else? something about yoga... that yoga is, like everything else, is as useful as you make it.

That"s it.

What does it mean "you could get unstuck?"


Getting unstuck, like everything in our reality, is interactive or co-creative.

You participate in it: it works. You want it done to you: it won"t work.
Both physically and mentally, what keeps you from becoming ageless, and from becoming one with anything is your stinginess.

You are a taker. But what you take doesn"t give you anything. Because even for something to give you value, you need to make it a value by seeing it as value.

YOU give the value to anything for it to have value... and you haven"t.
One of the exercises I have given to students who managed to grow is to become a value recognizer.

I didn"t want to say the truth: to ask them to become a value creator... because in the rigid context the world/civilization gives you, you would, they would have understood the word "creator" as doing.
But being a value creator is the same as value recognizer. There is no such thing as value without someone seeing it as such, treating it as such.

I have students who intend to suck me dry, take all I got, and yet they benefit not from what they get from me.

They can"t see value, they cannot create value.

And then I have students who interact with me sporadically, and get immense value. They are the value recognizers.
So if you are stingy, you get little or no value... because you didn"t create value in what you are getting.

Bummer, eh?

One more thing: The statement "Truth repeated is a lie" describes most of the things that belong to this category.

If you don"t give value to what you are getting, then all the things you say about it is a lie.

This includes everything where your role needs to be a co-creator. You cannot experience value if you didn"t create it.

Most gurus (maybe all) are mouthpieces to someone else"s truth. Tone of voice doesn"t create value, only creating value creates value.


When I measure people"s vibration, and the truth value of what they teach, I measure to what degree they created themselves the value of what they are teaching, and to what degree it is actually a value.

Not everything is a value... and calling it a value won"t make it so.

Can I feel you when I look at you and hear you? An empath"s struggle... A bandwidth issue

If you observed me, you would say that I don"t do myself what I suggest that you do: expand my life, expand my cone of vision, expand my social whatever... But what you see and what is are vastly different. Most of what matters happens in the invisible.

I am going to explore this difference, this seeming or real gap in this article.

I mentioned in an article that the exercise class has introduces sideways motions of my body and as a result a pain that limited my movements for 20 years eased to such a degree that today I can lie on my back and both legs will be lying on the bed. Previously I could not do that. For 20 years. Why? What was wrong? I don"t know.

A student of mine, a massage therapist wrote back to share that she had been, instinctively, using techniques that allowed her to stay on her feet and be well...
In one of your recent articles you were talking about how side movements help with joints. It"s a very interesting observation.

For years I"ve struggled with back pain. I am tall 5"11" so if i fall it"s a long fall and i fell a few times in my 20"s.

Anyways I have noticed even when I massage for many hours a week my back is doing good. When I massage I am on my feet and my movements are always sideways so i rock back and worth sideways. After I read your article several days ago I became a little more conscious about how I massage and how I move.


I"ve added a few side moves to my ankles.

The other day I did a bad turn while massaging and my back went in to spasm. I couldn"t even get up. So I started doing some of the Trager movements "what is light, what is lighter...what is free what is freer"... with breathing. While increasing side movements.

The next day i went back to work and that same day I also planted 5 raspberry bushes, tilled a big garden space and sawed a huge limb off a tree on top of other things I I did.

I really believe now that unrestrictive, unforced side movements can really help our joints and muscles. I wonder maybe it can even release some of the trigger points. I"ll keep experimenting.

milton tragerTrager... Milton Trager MD... the developer and teacher of a method...

I went to Youtube and watched a video of him sharing whatever he shared with words. I muscle tested, and his technique is 60% truth value, but his words are only 7% truth value.

Normally the numbers are exactly the opposite... but in the case of Milton Trager, he felt and did... and then tried to draped pretty, profound words on the top of the high truth.

Milton Trager felt. Felt what went on in the body, and what movements would restore the harmony there. He was an empath. There are lots of empaths in the world, by the way. And even more were a hundred, a thousand, two thousand years ago.

Milton Trager was tuned into the body... and was a wizard with it. The mind? Not so much...

If you learn the technique but don"t feel it, you mix the true and the untrue. In another video there are two "veteran" Trager practitioners, they also teach the technique... Their activities truth value is around 30%.

I have shared before how I learned to connect to Source.

I had a guy do house cleaning for me. One day I found a video of this woman teaching to connect to Source. I called the guy and put the headset on his head. And when I didn"t hear what she said, I felt, exactly, what she did... and I connected.


Later on I read, listened to what she was saying, and I saw that the words don"t connect anyone.

I muscle tested all the "teachers" of the Theta healing technique who were listed on Vianna Stibal"s website. None of them could connect. Why? Because translating something physical to words is very hard.

Milton Trager largely failed at it. Vianna Stibal completely failed at it.

Did I succeed? I failed mostly. So how does this failure happen?


Yesterday I had a strategy session. On the phone.

Then a little later a friend of mine asked me how I am connected when I am on the phone with someone, and when I am corresponding with someone.

And then it hit me: When I have information coming through sounds, or/and through the eyes, I feel less. There is not enough bandwidth.

But moreover: the voices, the 24/7 broadcast also interferes.

I notice it when I want to connect to the Days of Power energy on my own, or even to the Heaven on EArth (HOE).

When I teach, or do it for you, I can muster focusing and blocking out the interference, but when I am by myself, doing it for me... it is really hard... and mostly ineffective.

I have found that doing for someone else focuses my abilities...

But when I talk, whatever reaches them through the senses dilute what I say, and what they get, what reaches their brain is now maybe a minuscule percentage of what I transmitted... and the rest is from other sources: the broadcast, the visual, the noises in their house, the feelings of their body. They all are trying to enter.

When I want to get more, I close my eyes. I habitually block the broadcast... and yet, the voice of the person I am talking to contains enough distraction, that unless I ask them to stop talking, I can"t really feel them.

I am practicing separating the empathic, the feeling, and the "broadcast" type input as I am reading a well known person"s books... I am training myself.

Instead of having to muscle test every few minutes, I have been succeeding to experience the different channels much like a sound engineer hears them in the studio.

I now hear the pretense, the brilliant words and the person who is full of crap, doesn"t do what he says he does, and is writing for effect. Very interesting, apart from the intense disgust I feel. That part isn"t interesting. But is necessary.

My coaching program is not your usual "talking" type of program.

In traditional coaching the client talks to the coach once a week, and then either does anything or not after the call.

The next possible course correction will come seven days later.

Given the low level of comprehension of the average person, once a week course correction will not do much.

Let me remind you that the low level of comprehension is mostly due to the fact that tons of information reaches a person at any one moment: the feelings of the body, the sounds in the environment, the visual while they are on the phone, and most importantly the 24/7 broadcast.

I have worked for decades on sharpening my attention, blocking out competing information.

When you watch a cat, or maybe even a dog, you can see that it takes them some time to recognize someone coming towards them... What they need to do is separate the relevant from the irrelevant... just like you should... and it takes time.

Some people"s uptake is faster, or seems faster, but my hunch is: they have less irrelevant stuff to fight out of the way.

Interestingly, people who seem slower, eventually learn faster and deeper.

People who are seemingly faster never make any effort to even clarify what they got... and they jump the gun...

But my slow students develop muscles that allows them to hone into the relevant. I am not saying they are perfect, I am saying they are better at it.

I have some students who only find out they were misunderstanding what they heard, years later. I used to be in the middle... so I can relate to both extremes.

So, if you are confused by this article: that may be a good thing. Confusion is a higher state than imagined clarity, where most people live.

As you"ll untangled the loose ends of the yarn, you"ll exercise muscles you need to practice to become better.

Of course most of you won"t... You"ll say it"s my fault, and that is that. And you"ll be crystal clear about that...

There is no chance you can grow from that. There is no chance you"ll develop muscles from that.

You"ll remain as you are.
