Process conscious vs result conscious... fulfillment every day vs one day someday

I have a brain that is a pattern seeking machine.

A pattern is when something is repeating, form, essence, pitch, sequence, day of the week, month of the year, etc... something that connects seemingly unconnected things together.

Seeing patterns can save lives, and animals living in the wild still have the capacity, but humans living in a comfortable world, have lost it... to their detriment.

Often the activity is called: connecting the dots... Even if Steve Jobs says: it is only possible to connect the dots backwards. He talks about different dots... he talks about the cause and effect type of dots, not the patterns.



Pattern recognition is a capacity that is closed, inactive, for most people. It is very hard to become successful without it, because without pattern recognition everything shows up as a new problem, even though it may be part of a pattern, and has been solved before.

One of my students have managed to see the similarity, and the pattern between machinery and playing the guitar... He is a rare specimen.

You cannot detect patterns if you look with a narrow cone of vision, or if you can"t see past and present together, in the same glance. Also, if you hang out in your mind... You need to be present, right now, with the thing you are looking at, or no connection can be created.

Another way to be unable to see most patterns if you always look from the same vantage point: for most people that is looking through the concern that nails their foot to the floor. Popular concerns: Avoid domination, avoid seeing their dark side, avoid being seen as weak, stupid, or useless or selfish... a concern, any concern, always nails your foot to the floor.

In my programs it is mandatory that you learn to release that concern, otherwise you won"t be able to benefit from my programs. You will be stuck, and you"ll know it.

Some concerns are easy to see, even the stuck person can see it. Others... well, not so easy. And not so easy to get release.

Example: A fat woman may have fantasies of being raped, or being a whore, and she uses her fat to make sure she won"t act out her fantasies. That"s a concern that keeps her fat. The moment she lets go of the concern, she can lose all the extra weight.

I gained a lot of weight while I was living with a dude I hated to have sex with... And eventually I got fat enough the he didn"t want me any more, and we separated. Almost instantly I lost all the weight... but then the pattern repeated. The second time I knew what to do... and I left the situation, fat... lose the weight. See the pattern?

Life is full of patterns and unless you stay open to them with fuzzy eyes, they trap you.


If you are addicted to praise, for example, you"ll find it hard to produce anything, do the right thing, unless there is a chance to be praised for producing, etc. Unless you rid yourself of your concern, you"ll always entangle with people who should praise you... until they don"t... You see the pattern.

Your life, in the macro and in the micro, is governed by patterns, most of them not on the side of living a good life.

Your life is a machine. Some cycles are short and easier to see, others are long and slow... and harder to detect. And many hide in plain view: it takes looking to find them.

Spinning plates


Most people operate in a one-track way: spin one plate at work, another plate at home, and they are surprised that their lives, in spite of all they learn, is mundane, and impoverished.

I watch students drop all their plates, spiritual practices, their diet, energizing their water, exercising, when they start a new course. As if they were going to put all their energies into that one course... but no course is that involved... but they never pick up the plates and start spinning them again.

Why? Because unless they have an EXISTENCE SYSTEM beyond the mind, because unless these plates, habits, activities exist on a paper, they disappear.

About a year ago I started two guys on an "accountability" experiment. As long as they did it, and I kept my attention on them, they were both thriving.

The moment the accountability partnership ended, both dropped all the plates, and returned to the one track pony state: vibration dropped, cone of vising narrowed, results stopped coming.

Without someone holding you accountable for doing what is not necessary, not survival based, not urgent, you won"t do it.


Let me add: I won"t do it either.

It"s not that you are not willing. It simply disappears.
Unless you consciously direct your attention at something, your attention will be hijacked by something that is moving, flashy, painful, or fun. Like social media, like some argument you didn"t win, or your other concerns.

I even see this on the dude I learned this from: he got married and he dropped several plates. Marriage, relationships are new pattern makers where you have absolutely no input, no control: and the other person is rarely interested in you being all you can be... they are interested in themselves, in what they want. And rare is the person who can see and appreciate anything or anyone other than what they want.

Instead of resenting them for it, your job is to provide yourself with what you need so you can keep growing.


Getting an accountability partner, someone who won"t chat, or use up your time, instead: someone who keeps you to your promises.

Instead of being a victim of your inability to keep all patterns in mind, use the power of "existence"... The mind is a dark dunk place, bad neighborhood.

Start adding, one by one, habits, practices, that you can keep on spinning with the help of your existence partner.

If you want, use my already available forums. I"ll set up a thread for you, and you can do your daily promising and checking there.

How does this work? You pair up. And you, daily, make a promise and then report back to your partner: I did it, i didn"t do it.

Process, not results. Reporting back: "I only did half of it," is disheartening. Instead, report: I did it for 20 minutes. And then do whatever you do, until it is done. Reading, learning, meditating, practicing, doing everything.

Using the Pomodoro technique is smart if you have a hard time starting, if you are a procrastinator.

The Pomodoro technique is to do something for 20-25 minutes, set by a timer, and then take a 5-10 minute break. Then do the same thing again, i.e. continue, or do something else for 20-25 minutes.

Want to take me up on my offer to host your conversations? Email me...

PS: I just had a Days of Power call... and taught some good stuff (I think) on the call... I"ll post the call on the front page of my subscribers" site, so check for it in a little bit.

One of the things I explain, better than I did it in this article, is how and why to pay attention to the process instead of the result you want.

And I am also touching on how to do the existence system well with another person, and if it doesn"t work why it wouldn"t.

I seem to talk a little fast and sloppy on the call... and overtalk... meaning talk over other people... hey, I apologize for that... Overstimulated by the energy... very strong. oooh. I am a little hyper... it will go.

The role of process in becoming a genius... process is about the order of things...

Notice that you want to do things out of order...

...for example: fix something that you don"t understand what it is, you just KNOW that it"s wrong. Put the cart in front of the horse. Never bother to find the cause... the real cause of anything... the laws of nature.

You may be doing all the steps that can produce the results you want, but what happens if and when you are doing them out of order? Or you don"t give enough time to each step to perform its magic, out of greed or hunger or impatience?

You"ll lose time... you"ll lose money... and you"ll lose your faith.

One of my clients has an established CPA business. We"ve discussed this issue a few months ago, and he started to write the steps of different processes on sticky notes, reorganize them, test the results and make corrections.

Before he optimized most of his processes, he was always under the gun. Now he is not... or at least not always, and he now has time to read, learn, build relationship with his clients through interviewing them, build his abilities through volunteering ideas for his clients, and pursue spiritual and habit building practices and is a lot happier than he ever was.

Most other students do campaigns: my guess is that they are not even sure of their processes... so they are always behind the 8-ball, always busy, they have no time to grow.

In fact, most people I know resist processes, they say that they prefer spontaneity... Spontaneity is a code word for exciting but shabby, rushed, half done, full of error, and "spontaneity" is not really spontaneity. Spontaneity is not possible under a time constraint... Work that is done without some careful planning is a potential disaster, stressful, and, at best, takes longer than it should.
  • It is one thing to know WHAT to do.

  • Another thing to know HOW to do it.

  • WHY do it...

  • And a fourth thing is to know WHEN to do it.


Unless you know all four, the what, the how, the why, and the when, your chances for success are small. An action that is perfect at one time, is highly offensive, or ineffective at another.

Now, let"s look at process through the filter of knowledge, or ignorance.


Many people I talk to say that direction is missing for them. They are stuck at asking:
  • What is my core strength that I should build my life around?

  • What should my next business be?

  • What business to pursue is what people complain most about while they keep on doing the same old same old.


There is a lot of work that needs to get done before one should ask the
"what business" question. Using Tai Lopez"s favorite analogy, if you do ask that question, you are trying to decide what to cook for dinner when you have no ingredients and the guests are already invited.

Desire, affinity, opportunity, talent are all worthless unless you have a basic education that teaches you much of how reality works...


Here is an example what happens if you don"t know how reality works:
Only weeks ago over 60% of Brazilians said they would never vote for Bolsonaro (newly elected far right president of Brazil). So how did he and his allies make this happen?! They used WhatsApp.

They illegally set up devices that could send out as many as 300,000 messages at once, and spread fake news about Bolsonaro"s opponent to 75 million Brazilians -- saying
  • he advocated incest and child sex,

  • rigged voting machines, and

  • distributed "gay kits to turn school kids gay".


Without a basic education you can"t tell fables, lies, fabricated b.s. from reality.


Do you believe that these claims would have swayed a population armed with a basic level of education?

But those obviously b.s. claims did win the presidency for the Brazilian... just like similar lies won the presidency for our own bad guy, Trump.

Curiosity


Curiosity doesn"t exist in a vacuum. For curiosity to be awakened, it needs you to prime the pump... Priming the pump is pouring water down the pump, so it can start pumping something other than thin air. ((
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKDzMF1sahk

Pumps and the not understanding them is a sad example how in America people don"t learn physics... physics is the most important subject if you want to have access to how reality works. ((

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TomfykvkAac

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11r3E4eia0U

))

You don"t have to become an engineer, but you have to know reality if you want to be called even a human... not an ignoramus.

Yesterday I found out that without understanding pumps you cannot understand and appreciate the Feelings book, the definitive analysis of what happens inside a human that explains their behavior.

I may have to hire a physics student or an engineering student to create some video courses for you or you"ll remain a bumbling idiot with a truth value of knowledge in the low single digits.))

On old cars the choke performs the same function: it pushes fuel that can be ignited by the spark plugs. Without the choke, which is a pump, the car will never start... Modern car do it automatically... but you can be sure, all internal combustion engines with a carburetor have a choke... invisible from the outside, leaving you uneducated...

Many of the people who email me have nothing to pump... nothing to work with... especially the "manifesting" enthusiasts, but some of my smarter students are also stupid in this regard.


  • You want to start a business solely based on your desire to make more money.

  • You want to start on the floor that hasn"t been built yet.

  • You want to start something without the necessary skills or knowledge.


It"s too late to dig a well when you are thirsty... so your "business-starting" fails.

The foundation a person can build on is invisible for someone who doesn"t have the foundation, but interestingly the foundation is just as often invisible to the person who has it.

When people succeed, you can be sure they had a strong and wide foundation.

Stories made up about famous people, (sometimes by the famous people themselves!) who were bad students teach you the wrong lesson, because the stories are based on a lie.

These famous people did build a foundation, unconsciously.  Maybe they didn"t have good grades in school. But maybe they read, they heard the lectures, watched demonstrations, had conversations with people who knew something, and they often had mentors before they knew they needed one. ((Churchill, for example, had a speech impediment. He read history, and found an example of orators who put a pebble in their mouth to learn to enunciate clearly... in ancient times oration: public speaking, what the key to worldly success.

Einstein had a mentor, a rabbi, who, as all rabbis are, was well educated, and it rubbed off on Einstein.))

Good grades in school only show that you are a good test taker, not your level of useful knowledge, not your ability to use that knowledge.

For test taking it is beneficial not to look at the big picture, to not think about what you memorize.

To develop thinking ability, or a desire to look wider, or to think about what you are learning, to have a wide cone of vision, or develop curiosity are an impediment to test-taking learning success.


When you learn in order to get good grades, you learn, you see nothing that prepares you for worldly success.

Connecting the dots


One of the skills that is a necessary ingredient for worldly success is the ability to connect the dots between different disciplines, between different areas of life. Finding how a law or principle works in other areas of life, other than where you learned them.

To see how pumps work in the economy, in business, in relationships, in the weather, etc. for example. How something works in getting water out of the ground is a principle... and principles govern everything in nature, everything in reality... but if you have a test-taking attitude you won"t see them everywhere, so you"ll have good test scores, but poor life-success scores.

It takes time to get the hang of it, to awaken the capacities for seeing widely, to recognize patterns, to see the sameness... if you have had no concept about this until now. But it is possible... it is just awakening and activating unused brain connections.

We do this awakening brain capacities through small to tiny practices in my Genius School. We treat them each practice as a plate you spin. Every day, maybe forever.

Integration... habit stacks


We start with one practice, and add more when the spinning of that new plate (practice) goes smoothly, when it is integrated with your other activities in life.

My most advanced student in this Genius School is spinning, by now, 20 plates. Every day! ((That is about the same number of plates I spin, although, if you looked at me and my life, it doesn"t look as if I were doing much of anything... It looks as if I were on permanent vacation.)) The processes take anywhere from a few seconds while you do other things, to a few minutes, to maybe an hour to spin every day.
Obviously your life is changing while you are adding new plates to spin. You can"t do life as ineffectively as you are doing it now...

You still have to make a living, you still have family, you have to eat, have to stay healthy... and many of those practices are directed at designing and implementing more effective ways to do the doing parts of life.

The result: joy. A sense of accomplishment. Fun.

How long does it take to take an average IQ person to genius?


The longest part of the process is to develop the ability and the willingness to spin plates. To break the addiction to the current dominant mindset in the world that you can succeed at anything with nothing to build on. Without knowledge, without effort, without skills, without discipline, without distinctions.

The hardest for me is to kill students" campaign approach to life. They only do something to be done with it. They have a life that plays out in two distinct paradigm: work and fun... and the two shall never meet... unless they get integrated.

It takes a huge shift, and a lot of trust. And an isolation from ordinary influences from clients, friends, family... the crab bucket.

The student, at this phase, is like a wild horse. They want to do what they want to do, and they don"t want to do what they don"t want to do. Infantile will to power. (Nietzsche)

This first part is hard, the taming the wild horse. It is like trying to cut myself out of a rock cave equipped with just a spoon... painful, and it looks hopeless.

Typically around the time where the hopelessness wants me to eject the student coincides with the time when they are willing to turn around. Why? Haven"t seen the law yet, but there must be one: it happens every time.

A second part, in my limited experience is so much fun, no one asks then "how much longer will this take?"

Trying to do something in order to be done with it is the ticket to a joyless life.


Joy is the ability to enjoy every moment of life without holding an image of what it gets you. Sounds counter cultural, because it is.

You can see that unless your wiring is changed in the first part of the Genius School, you will never get out of school... you won"t become a genius. EVER. Guaranteed.

PS: There are two major types of coaching
  1. The Rainmaker... Frank Kern does that, and I admire him for it. He needs clients that have already proven that they have what it takes, so they only need a little focus to open the spigots of the sky. The minimum sales production to be accepted in the Rainmaker program is half a million dollars sales a year... plus a product that sells itself.

  2. The Genius School... using the compounding method: incremental, insignificant growth leading to huge results.You see this second best at the effort of restoring deserts into fertile areas with plants, water, and wildlife.It starts with nothing or not much, and relying on the laws of nature, restores and re-establishes life... This is MY method.

PS: if you are interested in my genius program, you first need to get your starting point measurements... measured by me, with muscle testing while connected to Source. In my view, Source is the zero point field that contains all knowledge, not some intelligence, or god.

Do you need passion to love your work? Purpose? the right work? What is the truth about that?

One of my ex-students sent me an email today. He is an ex-student, because I could not get him to achieve any results whatsoever.

But he has sent me valuable information before, so I read the email.

He sent me to a short video about Cal Newport"s book: Be so good they can"t ignore you.

I watched it. It was good. 30% truth value. Same as the book. 30% truth value is exceptional... but...

It is a topic that is in the forefront of most people"s mind: how to have the eight plus hours of work, the activity that provides you with enough money to live on, enjoyable. Not drudgery. Not feeling like a tool, feeling like a slave. Not something you have to do, but something you get to do. Not something that after that you can have your own life... something you are deprived of for eight whole hours.

Thousands of books are written to these people... and all of them are low truth value.

When something is only 30% truth value, you can be sure it won"t work unless you find the missing truth.

And 30% is the highest truth value of a book I have ever seen.

OK, before I add my two bits that raise the truth value to 100%, watch the video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFjTD8v7xuw

and here is his one-page summary

OK, so he is dealing with the mindset. Turn off the idea that you have to have passion, or even liking of a job, and turn on the craftsman"s attitude: getting good at it.

Wonderful.

But... and here is the missing 70%.

I cover part of it in an article I wrote last year: the mechanics... The skills you"ll need to do the job well. Well enough to get good at it.

And I added another piece this past week after I read an article by Pia Silva.

In an article I read on Forbes she says:

Unless you have a process that is flawless, you"ll never be an expert.


I didn"t know that... or more accurately, I never thought of that.

In my Kolbe test I am on the border of being resistant to systems, and yet I systematize everything in my life. So something wrong with the Kolbe test results... maybe I didn"t know myself as well at the time (10 years ago) as I thought. The Kolbe test uses a questionnaire to make important assessments about you that unless they are accurate, you are screwed... royally.

I am not good at systematizing. Systematizing is when you can see what to do first, what to do next, and how to take something, reliably, to the accomplishment.

It"s nearly impossible to teach: the intellectual capacities are missing for many people: foresight, comparing two-three things that don"t exist, hold an entire project in your head in a way that you can change their order.

One could say: it"s pure mathematics. Maybe.

It is actually a skill that one develops through thousands of trials and errors.


You start with something small or smaller, and once you can handle more components you graduate to something more complex or complicated.

I have 90% of my life systematized. And the 10%: it"s a total mess. I resist doing it. And some parts: I am already working on it.

Recently I have taken on a big project: creating courses, creating kindle books with a system, so I can make many, and they will be so good, they will sell.

I have already had many skills, many processes, but none for the big project.

So I am going through the first stage every project has to go through: formulation.

Formulation sounds easy: you talk... but it"s the hardest phase of any project.

Most people will not hang out in the formulation long enough to have any hopes to have a successful project.


You need to make sure you have all the skills you"ll need. You need to make sure you learn process from people who have one. You need to gather all the resources...

And you need a context that will give you empowerment through this hardest of phases...

Most people just jump in... don"t look left, don"t look right... jump.

The Kolbe test says that these people are quick-starts, and the is important if you want to do projects.
  • In my experience, people who are truly quickstarts rarely succeed. They jump into the empty swimming pool and hurt themselves.


Most people are like that...
  • The other "never succeed" client thinks that research will solve the problem.


You don"t develop skills with research, you don"t develop a process with research, you are wasting time. Your attention is on the wrong thing... and you are a non-starter.

But I digress...
I want to keep my focus on people who are already working... and bring them to a place where they can enjoy their work... where they can have work as part of their lives, instead of a chunk that is stolen from them, and life begins when work ends.

What do you do? It looks impossible, doesn"t it? Or magical, if you can believe that it will happen.

The three missing big elements are
  • 1. remove the distractions that remind you that life is outside of work. I first did that in 1986... and I have written articles about that.

  • 2. look to see if there are any skills in your current job that you could get better at, and start learning those skills

  • 3. look at the how. look at the order of things. And create a system inside which, with practice, your work becomes routine, like a dance. Requiring no thinking, no decision making, it is seamless and goes like clockwork.


((In the magazine I published for 11 years, one of the most time consuming jobs was preparing color photos to be published on newsprint paper in black and white. I worked on developing a process so I can get a person from the street, and have them ready to turn out reliable publishable pictures, with beautiful skin tone, in a few hours or training.

The secret of my longevity as a magazine publisher was my willingness to develop processes))

You know who, what, when, so there is nothing that"s hectic, nothing that"s unexpected, nothing that needs to be decided on the spot.

Why?

Many valid reasons, but the most important reason is that you can get the core of your work done, effortlessly, in half the time, so whatever you do after that time is either more work, if you want... and you become a star, or free time you can turn into something equally rewarding.

Without a system, you"ll always be in Parkinson"s Law: "Work expands to fill the time available for its completion".


Some 20 odd years ago I was a magazine publisher. The magazine was monthly, and it was always late a few days.

I went to a workshop for "Communication Commandos", graduates of the week long Communication Commando course.

We spoke in military terms, grain ground, and such.

At one part of the workshop we were asked to pair up... and work with our partner on an issue we had.

My "issue" was to double the magazine"s income. It looked impossible.

"It takes a month to create an issue" was my mantra... and it looked and felt like the truth. It even looked like even a month was not enough time...

On Sunday, after the course, I arrived home and wanted to have a cup of coffee... But we had no half and half.

I needed five minutes to get some... the corner store wasn"t too far.

It took me three minutes to get there... I talked to everyone who was in their garden on this warm Sunday afternoon.

But in the store I had a thought: what if the five minutes for a coffee-run is the same as my one month for an issue?

So on my way home, I kept my glaze on the pavement, and I got home in one minute.

It shook my world. I spent a year on developing processes after that, and exactly one year later we had two issues a month, 15 days apart. And they were on time.

Result: Double income. Was it more work? No, surprisingly it wasn"t.


And that is the point. Systems, processes, remove the non-work part of work, and make the work part like dancing... enjoyable.

The more processes you develop, the less effort life takes.

I have a process for 90% of the things I do, including how I replace the batteries in my handheld recorder... how I make my tea... how I make sure i don"t overfill my water jug...

PS: I watched the move "The Founder" on Netflix. It is not a good movie... but it was, nevertheless, worth watching, for once scene.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u00S-hCnmFY

It shows the McDonald brothers in the parking lot of their eatery with chalk in the hand.

They drew the layout of their kitchen on the pavement, and started to finetune their process.

After several hours of moving stuff around, they were done.

Their process was like a dance, requiring of no thought, no choices, no brain power. McDonald"s sells processes, that is their product.

When you buy a McDonald"s franchise, the real and only value is the process. The rest is eye candy...

You buy the guaranteed income and ease you"ll make it with, because you need no brain power.


Of course the promise is conditional. Conditional in you following the process, exactly.

Just like my Water Energizer... you get the results, exactly, if you follow the process exactly.

Your willingness and ability to follow a proven process is on the same level as your vibration. Unfortunately.

And your happiness...
And your level of joy in life.

You want to increase either? Increase your willingness to do things the way they are supposed to be done.

Do you need passion to love your work? Purpose? the right work? What is the truth about that?

One of my ex-students sent me an email today. He is an ex-student, because I could not get him to achieve any results whatsoever.

I want to keep my focus on people who are already working... and bring them to a place where they can enjoy their work... where they can have work as part of their lives, instead of a chunk that is stolen from them, and life begins when work ends.

What do you do? It looks impossible, doesn"t it? Or magical, if you can believe that it will happen.

The three missing big elements are
  • 1. remove the distractions that remind you that life is outside of work. I first did that in 1986... and I have written articles about that.

  • 2. look to see if there are any skills in your current job that you could get better at, and start learning those skills

  • 3. look at the how. look at the order of things. And create a system inside which, with practice, your work becomes routine, like a dance. Requiring no thinking, no decision making, it is seamless and goes like clockwork.


((In the magazine I published for 11 years, one of the most time consuming jobs was preparing color photos to be published on newsprint paper in black and white. I worked on developing a process so I can get a person from the street, and have them ready to turn out reliable publishable pictures, with beautiful skin tone, in a few hours or training.

The secret of my longevity as a magazine publisher was my willingness to develop processes))

You know who, what, when, so there is nothing that"s hectic, nothing that"s unexpected, nothing that needs to be decided on the spot.

Why?

Many valid reasons, but the most important reason is that you can get the core of your work done, effortlessly, in half the time, so whatever you do after that time is either more work, if you want... and you become a star, or free time you can turn into something equally rewarding.

Without a system, you"ll always be in Parkinson"s Law: "Work expands to fill the time available for its completion".


Some 20 odd years ago I was a magazine publisher. The magazine was monthly, and it was always late a few days.

I went to a workshop for "Communication Commandos", graduates of the week long Communication Commando course.

We spoke in military terms, grain ground, and such.

At one part of the workshop we were asked to pair up... and work with our partner on an issue we had.

My "issue" was to double the magazine"s income. It looked impossible.

"It takes a month to create an issue" was my mantra... and it looked and felt like the truth. It even looked like even a month was not enough time...

On Sunday, after the course, I arrived home and wanted to have a cup of coffee... But we had no half and half.

I needed five minutes to get some... the corner store wasn"t too far.

It took me three minutes to get there... I talked to everyone who was in their garden on this warm Sunday afternoon.

But in the store I had a thought: what if the five minutes for a coffee-run is the same as my one month for an issue?

So on my way home, I kept my glaze on the pavement, and I got home in one minute.

It shook my world. I spent a year on developing processes after that, and exactly one year later we had two issues a month, 15 days apart. And they were on time.

Result: Double income. Was it more work? No, surprisingly it wasn"t.


And that is the point. Systems, processes, remove the non-work part of work, and make the work part like dancing... enjoyable.

The more processes you develop, the less effort life takes.

I have a process for 90% of the things I do, including how I replace the batteries in my handheld recorder... how I make my tea... how I make sure i don"t overfill my water jug...

PS: I watched the move "The Founder" on Netflix. It is not a good movie... but it was, nevertheless, worth watching, for once scene.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u00S-hCnmFY

It shows the McDonald brothers in the parking lot of their eatery with chalk in the hand.

They drew the layout of their kitchen on the pavement, and started to finetune their process.

After several hours of moving stuff around, they were done.

Their process was like a dance, requiring of no thought, no choices, no brain power. McDonald"s sells processes, that is their product.

When you buy a McDonald"s franchise, the real and only value is the process. The rest is eye candy...

You buy the guaranteed income and ease you"ll make it with, because you need no brain power.


Of course the promise is conditional. Conditional in you following the process, exactly.

Just like my Water Energizer... you get the results, exactly, if you follow the process exactly.

Your willingness and ability to follow a proven process is on the same level as your vibration. Unfortunately.

And your happiness...
And your level of joy in life.

You want to increase either? Increase your willingness to do things the way they are supposed to be done.

How will increasing the accuracy of your vocabulary lead you to a fuller experience of life, joy, purpose?

Yesterday I had a conversation where I had a number of opportunities to see how and what way your unclarity, your vocabulary, shows up, not as a theory, but as a reality.

How it prevents you from seeing reality, or hearing what is being said.

It was somewhat new to me, so if it was new to me, it will be really new to you.



1. You have a  limited relationship to the world that is expressed in word usage


It seems that we have words that we consider bad, or something like that.

Like WORK.

When I ask: what is the opposite of work, a huge big world of leisure, fun, luxury, shows up for you.

The side of work... it is blocked by your world view that says: I should have a life without work.

But life doesn"t agree. Life is empty and impossible to enjoy without work.


There is only one activity in life that you can do almost limitlessly: work. You cannot sleep longer than your body says... You cannot have sex, eat, laugh, speak, watch Netflix longer than your body agrees. But you can work and work and work some more and be well.

This is not specific for humans. Animals work too. Finding their food is their work. Getting their offspring protected and raised is their work.

Animals in captivity are unhappy: they are deprived of their work. Humans in captivity are unhappy: what is bad about jail or prison is that there is nothing to do to fill the time. No work.


One can say: work is your means to become a person. To have a Self. To have a self to express. To say who you are with your actions.

When you are robbed of that by considering work a four-letter word, they robbed you of your self-expression...



If you don"t leave the environment that says "work is bad" or however they say it, or retirement is better, or being rich means no work, you"ll never become a person.

Work is your riches. Not your money, not your stuff. No. It"s your work.

It"s your birthright.

Don"t live a half-life... please. You are wretched... and now you know why.

2. You use words interchangeably, as if they meant the same.

((You even do this while you read or while you listen. You hear one word and then quickly replace it with another you are more familiar with... and you think you got what was said. You didn"t. You got what you have always gotten.

This is the reason I am not afraid to give you 3500 articles for free. You are not able to get the results the articles COULD produce, because of this phenomenon... you cannot get the things Ii say because of this word switcheroo...

Even in one-on-one conversations this is a real challenge to me to keep on hammering away. And with all the hammering, and all the time, and all the checking, I can produce a 10% uptake at best.

Devastating. Especially because you, the "listener" think that you got everything I said... you didn"t.

The Starting Point Measurement (#23) is absolutely indicative of this. I haven"t, thus far, measured a person who measured higher than 10% on that score.

This article and the techniques I give you here can raise your score, your clarity, over time. It"s a process! And like every and any process, it can become a routine, like a dance, enjoyable. I"ll write an article about that next.

1. your soul correction (your machine): https://www.yourvibration.com/sc
2. do you have attachments?
3. the level of your health (1-100):
4. the level of your cell hydration (1-100):
5. your relationship to feedback and instruction:
6. The level of discomfort you are willing to allow w/o trying to fix it. This is your TLB score...
7. The size of your vocabulary: the number of words you can use accurately:
8. To what degree you think of yourself:
9. # of fixed mindset:
10. Ambition:
11. Desire:
12. Degree of inauthenticity overall:
13. Level of integrity 1-100:
14. how enslaved are you to memes? (what percentage of your life is run by memes?)
15. do you have a bridge between your precious "I" and your actual I? What is your level of delusion
16. To what degree you have access to your adult capacities %
17. How teachable/how coachable are you?
18. The level of your awareness?
19. your vibration (1-1000):
20. your overall intelligence, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, body, relationship, etc.:
21. the number of spiritual capacities you have:
22. the percentage of time you spend in the mind,
23. the percentage of input that gets through to you.
24. Recommendations:



))

One example that came up in the conversation was the words: strategy and process. ((Strategy is the what of the accomplishment. What you are going to do... Process is the how. Our goal is to first examine what you are doing, and then what we decide is going to get you there, we keep... and turn into routine. So fine-tuned that it feels effortless and joyous like a dance.

I have turned my life"s "doings" into processes... 90% of my life is processized... made into a routine that doesn"t use any glycogen, so I can use that and creativity where it matters to me.))

They have zero overlap.

Unless you know that, you won"t amount to much in any area of life... Can"t. Because you need both, but if you collapse the two words then you won"t develop both.

You need it everywhere, regardless of your education, regardless of your profession, regardless of your family status.

It what makes life, work, play, taking care of yourself or your family fun, easy, and a dance.

The distinction is missing, and it is missing that it"s missing. You don"t know why life isn"t working for you, you don"t know why you can"t take on a new project, or change some habits without leaving your life in a sham.

You don"t know why you don"t have time, or energy, or ambition to do new things.

You don"t know that your relationship to life is severely limited by your lack of distinction between words.

And maybe even specifically those two: strategy and process.

Not accidentally, I had two conversations with two people this week who had the same barrier to growth.

3. Living life through judgments...



Judgments are those binary statements you say in your head, that say something, good or bad, about a thing, a person, an idea.

Good/bad, stupid/smart, interesting/boring

One came up really strongly. My client asked himself: What am I excited about?

The question says it all: being excited is good. Not excited: not so good.

Here is the truth, here is what Life has to say:

Looking for excitement is definitely the way to be bipolar, and being a dog wagged by the tail. ((By the way: when you are looking for experiences, you are really looking for excitement. I write about this in this article What you crave is experiences...))

Result: nobody home, no person, no life. Hating life.

Life is best lived by living. Living is not exciting. Excitement is a peak experience that makes you old really fast. And it has its dark side, letdown.



When you consider excitement desirable, your life feels boring. Blah. And we can safely say: you are an addict. And your life is run by that addiction, not you.

No chance for growing, self-evolution, joy, enjoyment... because those need life to be not exciting. In excitement you can"t even look around: you are holding on with your fingertips... risking flying off into oblivion...

So life is passing you by.

You cannot and won"t see the beauty. You cannot and won"t see values in things, activities, people. You won"t have any joy.

Screaming on a roller coaster is not joy. It is fear, really. Terror.

People who are happy avoid excitement. And people who like excitement.

So what can you do? How can you catch that you are living a life of addiction?



I recommended to my client to catch himself when he judges... and add just one thing.

By the way: catching doesn"t mean stop judging. No, catching means, in this real life work, noticing.

So when you notice a judgment, do one thing: add another aspect to the binary statement. Blue, for example.

When the judgment is: stupid... then add blue.

It is a subtle change, but it will start taking you from blocking half of the world out to including a little bit more of it.

Stupid... blue. You cannot avoid but smile... can you?
That"s hard... blue. funny as hell.
I am NEVER... blue.

The jump between systemic judgment, the kind you do, to assessment... where you actually have more than one adjective on the side... is difficult even to understand.

So the mechanical action of adding the quality of blue, an adjective, is our way to create a stairway back to life. A full life. A life where you can see things, not judge them.

You can even do this with the word "work"... add an adjective... blue.

It may make all the difference.

Average face per country... computer generated. Fascinating.



FaceResearch.org has published the results of a recent experiment where experimental psychologists at the University of Glasgow in Scotland have combined the faces of men and women around to world to approximate the “average face” of each country. Using a modern version of the technique that Sir Francis Galton pioneered in the 1800—²s, multiple images of faces are aligned and composited together to form the final result.
