What do you see with?

Brain Plasticity...

The brain that changes itself is a book I read in 2011... And today I watched the documentary... and let you also see it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFCOm1P_cQQ

Why have I been thinking about brain plasticity/neuroplasticity?

Because I have been intrigued by the fact that in this recent illness I could clearly see the things that were happening inside my gut, and what was the next step to bring myself back to health.

Had I gone to a doctor, I would be dead.

Why? Because doctors, unless they cut you open, can"t see... they can only see what they understand, and they can only see with their eyes... most of them, at least. Internists, definitely.

I have realized that through many decades of self-training, I have corrected brain issues that I was born with, and compensated for many disabilities due to being born a very premature, very small baby in a hospital with no incubator, to a mother who didn"t want me.

I must have been really stupid... I didn"t feel stupid, by the way. But from the behavior of my mother and my siblings, the "official" opinion about me was that I was stupid.

Because I had the "spirit" really strong in me, I have overcome most of the challenges that nature and myself set in front of me.

And in the last twenty or so years, I started to see not with my eyes, but with my feelings/sensations.

Obviously seeing needed to be coupled with an accurate understanding... so I am an avid reader... on average I read ten books a month, when I have more time, twenty, while I run this business as well, write my articles, have coaching calls, etc.

Beating this weird poisoning in my gut took 8 zig-zag moves, and I am still not quite done (I am done 92%). But every move was a surprise to me: unorthodox, but effective.

“As novices, we don"t trust our judgment. Then we have some success, and begin to feel a little surer of ourselves. Finally, we get to the top of our game and succumb to the trap of thinking that there"s nothing we can"t master. As we get older and more experienced, we overestimate the accuracy of our judgments, especially when the task before us is difficult and when we"re involved with something of great personal importance… Most people are inclined to use moral terms to describe overconfidence — terms such as "arrogance" or "hubris." But psychologists tend to regard overconfidence as a state as much as a trait.”

- Malcolm Gladwell, "Cocksure," an essay in the July 27, 2009, New Yorker.

When we enter a conversation with curiosity, we allow ourselves to see things differently and to be surprised by what we discover.

One of the moves,to prevent the offending bacteria from adhering to my gut wall, I have been taking Mannose sugar... So I can flush out the bacteria.

When I was little, I got treated for apparent urinary infections with all kinds of medication that was designed to kill microorganisms... and those urinary infections returned with a frightening regularity.

Now, 60 years later I know they weren"t treated right: the offender, the cause of the discomfort was misdiagnosed. So treatment has caused countless of additional illnesses down the line, many was near-fatal.

All kinds of stuff can cause discomfort in your bladder and other parts of your peeing equipment. Among others the "mites" I have been observing, and have nearly 100% conquered over. I am nearly 100% sure that the urinary infection was not that... it was the mites.

What you see

We, humans... I am sure of that, cannot see how much we see, we cannot see how much of what we see is accurate, and most of the time we don"t know what we see.

How do I know? By observing.

On one hand there are you and others I am observing, and I can see that you have no idea what you are doing, because you have no idea what"s going on.

The cliche: Some people make things happen. Some people watch things happen. And then there are those who wonder, "What the hell just happened?"

At certain level of "expertise" or competence, you actually return to "I don"t know what I am seeing"...

You see, from the results, that you actually saw a lot, and saw it accurately.

The opposite is the 99%: they think they see a lot, they think they see it accurately, and they wake up with the shabby result that show that they neither saw much of reality, and even what they saw was not accurate... so the results are supposed to be poor, a shadow boxing incident.

I have been trying to get it through to you, that what decides what you"ll do is what you see. No what you remember. Not what you know. Not what you think. But what you see.

There is a correlation among those... but ultimately all the thinking won"t make you see differently than what you see... no matter how many affirmations you"ll repeat.

I made a vision board, a collage of some 20 pictures, some 10 years ago. It is on my refrigerator door.

I have not made any moves towards any of the small pictures on it. Any.

Because all seeing comes with a "silent" speaking, and together what you see and what you said will become what Landmark calls "Occurrence"... So technically your actions will come from Occurrence.

occurrence: what you see plus what you say about it.

All those "realities" depicted on the individual pictures, are in the domain of "not possible for me" or "not important to me"... and thus: no action.

You are the same way, with a difference: you either lie to yourself, or you are completely deaf and blind... neither see nor hear.

So you HABITUALLY talk about impossible futures, and what you want, and what you wish for... while your actions aren"t in sync with what you say...

Students of mine who train with EyeQ are going through a miraculous brain training. It is not for everyone. If you are happy being dull, boring, and bored, it is not for you.

It prepared my brain to wake up and correct itself when I had my second major traumatic brain injury in 1998. There are hardly any symptoms remaining...

What capacity is missing so that you cannot recognize the same thing in a different environment?

What capacity is missing so that you cannot tell, you cannot recognize the same thing in a different environment?

I think this is the main issue for people who cannot grow... even if they keep on having private sessions, do all my courses, or all Landmark courses, or all Mindvalley courses, or use energy stuff... mine or others".

When you put something they know some other environment, they don"t recognize it in a different environment, a different context.

So what is the missing capacity, you wonder... And how can anyone dream up a method to teach it?

A little historical view of how humans evolved (or not) during their lifetimes in previous times...

The capacities, the DNA capacities we are talking about were not activated in schools, courses, and such, they were requirements for life, for work, to getting along, to getting forward, for staying alive. Where nearly every moment of life was an opportunity to learn and adjust or an opportunity to be maimed and die.

Times when learning wasn"t skin deep, wasn"t scanning an article on your smart phone, when eating wasn"t stopping by at the takeout window of a fast food joint.

When I look where I have seen it recently, two videos come to mind:

• 1. White Fang, Netflix"s animated movie version of the famous Jack London novel... especially looking at it from the point of view of young White Fang.


• 2. The HBO documentary about Warren Buffet. What surprised me in that documentary is two things: Warren Buffet is a true nerd, awkward, reminds me a lot of my friends from my childhood, socially inept geniuses (maybe I am one of these myself, except maybe the genius part, lol) and the second was that his whole investment strategy changed with Charlie Munger"s advice, to buy good companies that were underpriced. Who would have thought... Without that advice there would not be Warren Buffet as we know him... we would not know him at all... he would be small time. Hm. His friend Charlie Munger came at the world from a whole different angle, and saw something that he, Warren Buffet could not see.

Now, I don"t expect you to see what I see... given that I am on the other side of the "great divide".

So what is the Great Divide?

Seeing.

The number one Metaskill.

There are two things missing for most people: 1. looking 2. seeing.

The first part is all mental.

• If you don"t see that what you could gain by looking is of any value: you won"t look.


• If your value system leans towards the special, spectacular, interesting, titillating, trivia direction... you won"t look


• If you are comfortable... you won"t look


• If your curiosity is unchanneled, diversionary/diversive curiosity, you will not see anything important, or if there is something important, it will get lost in the unimportant ((I am re-reading the book, Curious by Ian Leslie.See footnote 1 The book"s truth value is 7%, but if you read it the way I read, it will take you to a replenishing, delightful adventure looking at areas of life that you haven"t considered before.

The two kinds of curiosity he talks about are the unchanneled diversionary/diversive curiosity and the epistemic curiosity... the first sucks energy and provides nothing. The second is for knowledge, for depth, for fuel, for nourishment.

You probably leak an awful lot of energy through clicking on click bait... I call it gossipy curiosity... give you nothing but illusion. Uses energy instead of providing energy.))

The second part needs a capacity to shocked into active... seeing.

It is unpleasant to imagine oneself blind, but the truth is even worse. You are blind to what could provide you with all you need to grow, to do well financially, to do well socially, and to feel good about yourself.

In my private calls I teach seeing. And it"s the most important thing I can teach, but unless I teach you somehow to get curious and to see for yourself, it is piecemeal, and takes an awful long time.

One of the reasons I have these private calls, from my own selfish point of view, is to be able to see stuff myself, stuff that is not readily visible unless you experiment.

So I run experiments: the results are telling, and influence my next experiment.

Oftentimes I start out hopeful, only to find out that the "soil" I used to plant seeds is toxic.
Rarely I start out totally hopeless, and find out that the soil was just waiting for the right seeds...

The kind of work I do is unparalleled... so I have no advisers, I have no books I could read, because it is uncharted territory: turn suffering, sniveling, fearful, specimens of the human race into human beings... a whole different species.

On some level we are all suffering, sniveling, and fearful, so please don"t be offended... unless, of course, you are from California or Canada: then it IS offensive... so get as offended as you like.

My experiments are taking me in the right direction: the Starting Point Measurements are getting more aligned with a productive, healthy, "seeing" human that before.

What causes this blindness?

Well, for one, the capacity needs to be shocked into active... I am intentionally using the big word "shocked", it is not a smooth progression.

But beyond that, what blocks the view, are mental images created by the "wanting to, having to, needing to, and should", the desire trap, and other traps, like guilt trap.

And, of course, seeing something that you haven"t seen before requires you to be able to see patterns that indicate that there is something there to be seen. A disturbance unexplained.

One of the resources in this last thing... disturbance unexplained... is the book by Hungarian engineer, Gyozo Margoczi... The two books: Feelings, and Words.

Warning: you may have to read it many many many times. Because it deals with things that simply understood will not help you at all. You need to SEE them. The writing is good, and as you awaken your seeing capacity, it will be like a bible to you: you"ll keep the book on your night stand, or always queued on your Kindle.

You"ll always get the book on the level where you are, not deeper. You can track your personal evolution by how deep you get some of it... like the "human needs".

Now, can you learn to see from a book? From a video? From a person?

No. Your capacity needs to be shocked into active. Like mine did in 1996, with my eye training.

If you are doing some kind of eye training now, but haven"t experienced the shock or shocks... that eye training isn"t activating the capacity.

My skill training will have that process as a requirement... It seems to me that one of the things you cannot see without the capacity to see is transferable skills, and without that that whole training is impossible.

PS: When I examine minutely my "stats" software, I can tell where the visitors" head was and is...

Health and money are the main concerns.

Curiosity, the kind that gets entertained by a two-headed child, is close second.

And approximately 25-30 people a month, or one a day, are actually searching for the stuff I teach, the stuff I offer, the stuff I am famous for. One half of one percent.

It is hard to search for something you don"t see, cannot see. One of the "results" you"ll see, once your seeing capacity is awakened, is a different type of search activity, and different questions to ask. And that is when your quest to personal growth, your quest for self-actualization will really begin.

Spiritual pattern recognition, spiritual principles... Should life have rules?

One gift my father gave me is he encouraged me to not resist. I went through several interpretations of what he meant... I thought resisting made me a person, but I was wrong. Resisting gave the power over to others, and kept me stuck... stuck, stuck stuck.

This is a spiritual pattern, a spiritual principle...

What he didn"t say that he meant: life, reality is built of patterns, and all unrecognized patterns lead to inaccurate, unworkable, or misleading conclusions. Thinking resistance, fighting, pushing back is a good thing kept me miserable for decades.

Through that he had a huge career, and a long happy life... after very humble beginning.

But your life is based on unrecognized patterns that lead to inaccurate, unworkable, or misleading conclusions. That is the story of your life... but you may not even be able to track what I am saying, and I am not condescending, I am stating a fact.

The field: The invisible distinction that defines your consciousness

We look at life through the space we locate ourselves in.

When you go home for the holidays, you have a space inside which you interact with your mother. You have a space inside which you interact with your father, another space with your siblings.

Some people live their whole life out of one favorite space.

When you know what space you think you are in, and the other person makes no sense, that is because they relate to you inside a different space.

For example, Nancy lives inside Mother-child space. She is either the mother, or she is the child. When she is the child, I am either the mother (she loves that) or Not mother... she hates that. When she is the mother and I refuse to be the child, she throws a tantrum.

This is invisible for her. It"s the water she swims in.


When a coaching relationship doesn"t work, i.e. it is unpleasant, it is forced, it is ineffective, it is always because the two people are in a different space...

My intention is to operate, interact with a student inside the space of partnership. I have my job cut out for me... and I fail more often than not to move them to the space of partnership.

In the Landmark Partnership Course participants got a glimpse of partnership after a whole year of learning to recognize, learning to distinguish all the 16 different spaces that don"t allow for partnership.

Inside the space for Mother-Child partnership isn"t recognized. The mother and the child are NEVER in a partnership: their self interest is sharply different. In fact: partnership there is rejected. It is resented. Same in Father-child... or playmate-sibling, which is yet another space...

Becoming curious (and observant, aware) about the self-interest and the many forms of it is incredibly useful and makes seeing why these relationships lack harmony or growth potential.

You can practice recognizing the self interest (without making it right or making it wrong) any and every place in your life, even in books, or TV shows. Everywhere.

Self interest conflicts with another"s self-interest... because self-interest lives as an either I win or you win phenomenon. Validating self-interest, the other"s self interest, is one way you can take the sting out of relationships and bring them closer to partnership and workability. [note]More on validation: https://www.yourvibration.com/33924[/note]

I am not licensed to teach the Partnership Course, or any Landmark Course, so this is pretty much as much as I can "quote" from the course, without violating my non-compete agreement with the company.

But if you are astute enough what I have written so far is going to make you look. See what space you do your life, do your relationships from.

When things don"t work... you can safely assume that you are in the wrong quadrant, you are in the wrong room, you are in the wrong space.

Identifying where you are at, and where the other is takes practice, but is easy.

Then make the conversation move to another space takes a lot more. A whole lot more. It takes the art of communication.

I"ve recruited seven different people for the experimental communication training. The goal is to make life work, no matter how different they are. No matter what space they hang out most. No matter what they want to accomplish.

Moving people, moving the conversation to another space where there can be alignment, real communication, love, harmony, and ultimately partnership is what I intend to teach.

You, who are not in the course, you can do your work to identify what space you have your conversations in.

The Partnership Course, a fully Tree of Life phenomenon, gets to a deep knowledge through using collages, the non-verbal tactile, kinesthetic representation of a field. [note]There are four "ordinary" fields of relating, values and communication: 1. mother/child 2. father/child 3. playmate/sibling, 4. admirer/admired. (Here are a few collages of someone I don"t know on Flickr. Hover over the images to see which quadrant, which space, which field it shows. )

The fifth field, the field of partnership, cannot be jumped into. It can only be accessed when all the values of the four quadrants, the four ordinary fields, are transcended... i.e. seen but not operational. 1~2 out of a hundred is willing to do the work... We shall see how many in a tiny course I am leading. I am shooting for 50% or more[/note]

Ingenious.

Of course, most of the people in the course first had the thought and then made a collage to illustrate it. Meaning: they stayed on the Tree of Knowledge.

Getting of that tree is not easy... no matter what tool you use.

Most artists create "art" on the Tree of Knowledge too... even though art is not a Tree of Knowledge, word thing.

In this article I have given you a whiff of how to alter your life, on the Tree of Life. The trimtab method, where gentle and small changes turn around your oceanliner... and your life towards workability and towards growth and fulfillment.

As long as you live inside one of those quadrants, uneven quadrants, ordinary communication, workability and fulfillment will be there only for moments, and only as an accident.

When you become intimately familiar with how you and others live their lives inside those tightly defined spaces, you"ll have a choice to stay there, live a limited and predictable life, or to take charge, and direct all your communications to the open water, what we"ll call, maybe, partnership... maybe alignment with all of it...

Haven"t decided yet.

PS: I just realized why people like animals, pets more than people: animals, your choice of animals, allow you to dominate to your hearts content... people don"t...

Can your sight be helpful if you don"t look?

The willingness to look is a behavior, it"s an attitude, and therefore cannot be activated.

If you act without looking, or if you act from what is stored in your mind, then the activator of the capacity to see the consequences of your actions won"t make any difference.

There is a prerequisite to seeing: and that is looking.

And most of you do not have the habit to look...

One of the arrogant behaviors is to not look. I do it, you do it.

Is that a stupid behavior? Yeah, it is. And stupid as the stupid does... that is why I am stupid, and you are stupid too.

Whenever I remember that I am stupid, it is a reminder to look... and then the capacity of seeing the consequences of my action kicks in... and voila, I make a smart decision from what I see.

So you see, stupid is not a capacity or the lack of it, stupid is behavior.
