Can"t learn? Won"t learn? How you keep yourself stuck in life...

I am still struggling with having something or anything to say. Now I have the energy, but don"t have the ... what?

What don"t I have, and why is that important to know what it is that you don"t have?

The number one need of people, I say, is the desire to make a difference.

But when I say "make a difference" I don"t mean the big flashy things, like Bill Gates curing malaria... I mean being wanted to be there. That you are not refused.

Cain killed Abel in the Bible, because god accepted Abel"s sacrifice, but not his. He, Cain, got furious, and killed who he could killed, Abel.

Feeling refused, feeling not wanted is the cause of the biggest pain, and unfortunately people carry that in their unconscious for the length of their lives.

If you were only seven months old and your mother gave birth to another child, a preemie who had special needs, you suddenly felt refused, not wanted, and until you made peace with what happened, and got, in your bones, that it wasn"t that way even though it felt that way, you"ll live your life as someone who is not wanted. And your reaction to it will be anger, belligerence, spitefulness, alternately being forceful and resigned, but rarely be anything healthy and conducive for a good life.

I could tell you my story too... same experience, somewhat different happenings in reality, but the same result: a predictable attitude to life.

And especially if you now have built a sensitivity to the vibes that tell you you are not wanted, you are not important, your feelers are always out to re-experience it.

And you will experience not being wanted a lot... I do.

You"ll deal with it your way, by the way. Most likely the way your soul correction scripts it.

I react with the Gentian energy: discouragement. My normal morning: I get up when I wake up, between 4 am and 6 am. Today I slept till 7:30... and didn"t want to get up. To what? For what? Why should I get up? It is hopeless...

So what clues me in when I say, when I feel that I am not wanted? It is what I feel there in YOU, instead of eagerness, wanting to learn, what I feel is  there: "I already know everything", or "who do you think you are to challenge my belief system?" and such.

I am starting to accept that people I meet in my daily life are not interested. So much so that they speak over me when I speak. Or rudely interrupt. Or tell me they are not interested.

So I have started to talk about them about what interests them. That, they can hear.

I am here to learn

I am having an email conversation with a student of mine who bought one of my old videos (the upset process) where the most important part is where the new employee wants to become the boss without learning her job, thus making it impossible for her trainer to get through to her.

In the video I recommend the new employee to declare to her trainer "I am here to learn from you".

My student caught that is the missing thing for him, is that declaration. He has been coming to my courses, workshops, webinars for 6-7 years, and is, largely, where he was when he started.

What allows learning is humility.

The declaration that you are here to learn. But what is in the unsaid is: that you need to learn, because you are incompetent, or not fully competent in what you want to learn.

Your precious I, your inflated self, doesn"t want to hear about that. It has declared you that know everything, and need nothing. It wants all the things knowing everything would entitle you for, but what it doesn"t want is humility, work, effort, none of that.

And this is not personal to him: all of you have some of it, I measure it in my Starting Point Measurements in measures 11, 15, and 18. Why three times? Because those numbers look at it from three different angles... I want to be certain. The student"s number is 70%. This is the number that stands in your way when you want to learn anything, so you can raise your vibration, so you can have a life that is worth living. ((1. your vibration (1-1000):
2. your overall intelligence, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, body, relationship, etc.:
3. the number of spiritual capacities you have:
4. your soul correction (your machine): https://www.yourvibration.com/sc
5. do you have attachments?
6. the level of your health (1-100):
7. the level of your cell hydration (1-100):
8. your relationship to feedback and instruction:
9. The level of discomfort you are willing to allow w/o trying to fix it. This is your TLB score...
10. The size of your accurate and active vocabulary: the number of words you use accurately:
11. Your about-me score, also the inverted number of humility:
12. Self-awareness:
13. Ambition:
14. Desire:
15. Degree of inauthenticity/pretense self overall:
16. Level of integrity 1-100, the relationship between you and you:
17. how enslaved are you to the Tree of Knowledge? (what percentage of your life is run by memes/untruth?)
18. do you have a bridge between your precious "I" and your actual I? What is your level of delusion
19. To what degree you have access to your adult capacities %
20. How teachable/how coachable are you?
21. The level of your awareness?
23. the percentage of time you spend in the mind:
24. the percentage of input that gets through to you.
25. How inspired can you become? And what level are you now
26. To what degree you honor your emotions as reality?
27. What is your cone of vision in percentage of the visible? this tells me whether you can connect the dots...
28. How much control do you have over your attention?))

I have been making myself more available, and I have been dripping out, offering to you, older courses, that teach what I don"t have the time to teach nowadays, but they are essential for you to know...

And I make them so inexpensive, that they can be considered cheap.

And when I check the numbers of the one-two people who buy, the numbers are consistent: the one-two people who buy have a low delusion number, the ones that don"t have high.

All three numbers are high for someone who can"t and won"t learn because they already know everything.

So when I don"t want to get up in the morning, that is the energy that activates my Gentian, my discouragement.

I am offering my gold for next to nothing, and you don"t want it.

My current 20-day learning challenge is watching an average one video a day from the 150 videos of Dr Peter Popper, a Hungarian psychologist, and his Master course. Mesterkurzus in Hungarian.

He has a full house every time, and the cameraman shows the audience, closeups, note takers, bored ones, haughty ones, and I can see that his audience is like mine. Have a full cup. Perks up when he tells a story, and he is a great storyteller. But I can feel they are not there to learn, they are there to be entertained. Pick and choose what they take in and what they don"t.

It so happens, that Popper had a poor relationship with his mother. Turns out his mother wanted a girl, and then he was born, a boy. And until they cleared that up, there was no love, no intimacy, no warmth between them. He felt not wanted.

Maybe that is why he wants to talk so much. Maybe that is why he wrote and published 53 books... ((

As an aside: Popper gets up at 1:30 am every morning, to work. Writing this many books would be impossible, I think, if he lived like everyone else, were up when other people are up... and slept when other people slept. To write you need to keep your wits about you, no interruptions, and that is only possible if you are living an inverse life...

I have accomplished a lot in my life, many professions, many skills, all packed in a short lifetime. My secret has been my sleep schedule.

I am freshest and sharpest in the first six to eight hours of my day. If you get up late and go to sleep in the wee hours of the morning, you are sharpest when everyone is around, making noise, emotional and physical, and dullest when you are alone. How stupid is that?))

Popper"s vibration is 350, unusually high. His stuff has also high truth value, except for certain topics about politics... 60%.

I still have to declare: I am here to learn, when I start one of those videos. I am here to learn... and I do. And I am amazed how much I didn"t know... didn"t even know I didn"t know. Wow.

So I am lucky I have the humility to declare and mean it.

Your level of humility, your level ability to learn, to want to learn is inversely correlated to your "about-me" number.

Your about-me number is very important: the higher that number the less you can see from reality. The less you can see beyond your precious I.

Your precious "I" wants to teach and preach and trump over everyone. Talk over, prove the world that your I is not inflated, that in comparison you are better, more valuable than the other.

This is the biggest thing I am learning from listening to the Playground partner calls... and when anyone"s arrogant "precious I" gets smaller, I dance a little victory dance.

Because, of all the numbers in your "Starting Point Measurements," that is the strongest indicator that you CAN raise your vibration.

And that is what I am all about, helping you to raise your vibration.

Big sigh...

The emotion there is "no matter what I do... I can"t"

That emotion always covers up a lie. Maybe I haven"t done everything that can be done.

What is missing is in the "I don"t know that I don"t know" quadrant of "all-knowledge". So I have a new ambition now, find what it is I could do, to turn those who are willing to become a learning machine. Sounds funny. I like funny. Funky. Off-beat. Not serious. Maybe I could be funny? I am laughing and scared at the same time.

Let"s try... I am a beginner at this... But I am willing to learn how to be funny, entertaining, so "I am here to learn".

I have a free talk, interactive, today on a webinar at 4 pm EDT, that means NY summer time. Europe start summer next week.

Principle guided life... OK... but what principles will make you happy?

When I wrote the article about racial, ancestral identity and its importance, I touched on something that is not valuable for most people... because I didn"t go deep enough and I didn"t accurately identify what it takes to be proud of who you are, where you belong.

I got on the phone with one of the people who was very unhappy about that article... I was eager to talk, because it is near impossible to go beyond the visible by yourself. It is a whole lot easier when you get input... because what is invisible to you can be visible for another.

The conversation was fruitful... And the insight to me was: it is not virtues, it is principles that form the basis of a happy life... I will elaborate...

The four questions...

Humility is the opposite of my soul correction: Forget Thyself.

Every single human, whether they admit it or not, feel above average, and smarter than most everyone... and Forget Thyself is the worst.

It is a daily practice of mine to make myself a learning machine... learn from everyone, including my students.

Humility... it"s actually very hard... you need to give credit where credit is due, and every time, it"s human nature, you experience the marker feelings that come along with comparison: someone is better than me... therefore I must be no good.

And to maintain self-confidence at the same time... really requires the mastery the Playground program promises.

So as an exercise in humility I borrowed an exercise one of my students invented for himself: asking questions to see if there are problems for his clients he can solve... beyond what he is already solving. He is a CPA... an accountant for small businesses in Sweden.

If you are on my mailing list you have gotten the questions. A lot of people have responded. I was surprised. There was something about how the questions are worded that resonated with people.

In coaching the first step is to get to clarity where someone is... but getting there is tricky, because depending on how the question is asked, people don"t want to look, or people want to look good and lie.

I still haven"t cracked the mystery why people responded better to my student"s question that when I ask them seemingly the same questions...

But the diversity of the answers surprised me. Even students whom I thought I knew well, managed to surprise me.

Want to surprise me and help me at the same time?

Here are the questions I have been asking people, and i would appreciate if you took the time to answer for me sophie at yourvibration.com

1- In the past year, what has been your most recurring problem?
2- How have you tried to solve the problem?
3- What can happen if you don’t solve the problem?
4- If you could use a magic wand how would you solve the problem?

When I look at my life, I notice that I can come up with top of mind answers, but when I muscle test them, Source says: no.

So I am forced to play Source"s favorite game: narrowing down the field, so I don"t do the shotgun method.

Health? no Money? no Relationships? no Aging? Dark Side? no Where I live? no Impact? bingo.

Your most recurring problem is, probably, not the first problem you thought of... definitely not the first ten problems I thought of.

I read an article the other day that in the near future you"ll be able to upload all your knowledge to the cloud, or wherever, and it will be available for future generations. So even if the current generation cannot hear you, cannot appreciate you, you"ll be getting your "due" regard from future generations.

But... a crucial but.

Is, what I have to say, really important? Am I doing justice to it by making it available today to the people who can use it, benefit from it? Run with it?

Or am I playing small... and ultimately die without impact.

Most people, parents, leave their impact on humanity in the form of their children... and I am hearing that the next generation is not very keen to delight their parent... to put it mildly.

• I have a few young people in my courses, and I can feel that their parents feel disappointed.


• And I have parents, who are afraid.

This, fear that the offspring won"t do well in life, is a timeless concept... My parents were afraid that I would not do well. My mother was sure... my father had some faith... lol.

Believe it or not, the future depends on you...

According to scientists and researchers, when you become present to your mortality, what gnaws at you most is the issues of self-actualization... whether you have been expressing your creativity, questing for spiritual enlightenment, pursuing knowledge, giving to and/or positively transforming society, while fulfilling your need to be good, to be fully alive and to find meaning in life.

And even if you are stuck in survival, stuck in the day to day struggle to provide for yourself and your family... what causes the most sense of missing out on life, are the self-actualization issues that you don"t seem to give time and energy now.

I share your pain... I was in the daily struggle for decades until I reshuffled my priorities and stood Maslow hierarchy of needs pyramid on its head... and pretty much lower the priority of the normally the more urgent needs, physiological, safety, belonging needs, even the self-esteem needs and cultivating nearly exclusively the self-actualization needs, and attending to "lower" needs only when they block or hinder self-actualization.

Totally ass-backward, as far as society is concerned. Stopping to live for society"s standards took getting off the hamster wheel... takes courage and a level of insolence... demonstrating and practicing a lack of respect for other people"s rules of living that keep them in the chicken coop (or crab bucket) and want you back in there, with them... because misery loves company.

I have observed that a segment of the population dresses really nicely, drive new cars, but takes lunch at the senior almost free lunch center... feeling deep contempt for me... who am not living like them. They don"t have eyes or ears or esteem for knowledge, for thinking, for anything other than what is visible...

It is rare that you have any time and any energy for what is most important to you... when you take the deathbed perspective: what you"ll regret on your deathbed or approaching it.

Will you say: I wore nice clothes, I drove nice cars, or will you say: I regret not having made an impact?

PS: Society wants you to be stuck on the lowest three levels of Maslow"s pyramid... and they are especially emphasize relationships... the exact relationships that prevented you from live a life of full self-expression, live a life of fully being you.

Billions of webpages spew that low vibration truism at you, keeping you bonded to what others want you to be. Ugh... ugly.

How fast can you raise your vibration? Worth reading again...

There are two main issues (lack of courage and lack of humility) that if you have them, you probably won"t be able to raise your vibration until you overcome these two issues.

To illustrate the first, I"ll use Tai Lopez"s email... Thank you Tai

I had someone ask me the other day "Hey Tai, if you could take one quote from throughout history and make it you life guide, what quote would it be?"

That"s a pretty tough question, because you can use quotes and history as free mentor.

If I had to take one quote and make it my purpose in life, It would be something I read from Alexander the Great. He said "Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free, and those who are conquered by it are made to suffer until they have the courage to defeat it or death takes them."


Let me tell you, you get this one in your head and make it instinctually part of you, who you are and how you think, you will be head and heels miles ahead of the crowd.

Sometimes, fear drives people more than reward.

I think reward"s more powerful, but it"s like Alexander the Great says, "Fear is the horse running around inside your brain, it"s the stallion, and that stallion will kill you."

If you don"t throw a saddle on it or and get on top of that horse and ride it, if you just stand in the corral with a wild horse, that horse will kill you and that"s what Alexander the Great means.

Most people have never harnessed their fear, and so that fear causes them, as he says, they"re made to suffer. Most people"s life is one of suffering. They"re not in abundance, they"re in scarcity. Get into abundant mode. To get from scarcity to abundance, I"m not just talking about money, I"m talking about health and happiness too.

You can"t be afraid to put in the work and take on big challenges. You can"t be afraid to be successful. If you live in fear, you won"t take risks and take on challenges. Being successful ain"t easy. It"s gonna take hard work and time.

Don"t let your fears hold you back. The most difficult challenges in life can be the best things for you.

This was courage deficiency... as I call it. Or fear as he calls it.

And this is the second issue...

The primary issue, in my experience, is lack of humility.

Humility is the degree to which you can empty your vessel so you can get new knowledge.

What prevents you from being able to empty your vessel? A delusion that you know. A distrust of anything that you are offered. A desire to prove that you don"t need it. A self-importance... that your life is about you.

One would think humility is a base capacity... oh yeah, I forgot to say it"s a capacity. The ability to take your self-importance out of the picture... it feels like you are killing yourself.

It feels like becoming vulnerable... allowing someone to slay you. To destroy you. So you won"t allow it.

And if you look, that is the last thing that you want, to be vulnerable. Not even to the people you love. Hell no.

Other people call it "ego", but they don"t know, you don"t know what that means, and what you can do about it. So I won"t use that word. I"ll continue calling it humility.

It can be measured in many different ways, and in the Starting Point Measurements I measure it from different angles, to be sure that I am accurate.

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

Of all the 21 measures, many point to the same thing... and answer some aspect of the question:

can you grow? can you raise your vibration? can you learn new things and unlearn old thing?

Let"s see the itemized list and how the different measures relate to your ability to grow and raise your vibration:

• Your vibration shows your current level of knowledge. (1 and 2 on the list)


• The number of spiritual capacities show how many tools you have in your tool box to do life. (3)


• Your soul correction shows what major capacity is missing for you to do life well. (4)


• Your relationship to feedback and instruction shows your attitude towards finding out bad news about yourself (8)


• Your TLB shows how much discomfort you allow yourself to have: it takes a lot of discomfort to grow.


• Your clarity score, your vocabulary score shows to what degree you can hear what someone says as they meant it. The lower the score the less you hear. And most likely you replace what you read/hear with your own narrative.
  Your inverse humility score. The more you think of yourself, the less you are willing to empty your cup and gain new knowledge.


• Your ambition and desire number tell a whole story: the higher your ambition the more you are willing to do for what you want, including raising your vibration. A high desire number tells the exact opposite.


• Your degree of inauthenticity is inverse with your willingness to be taught, because you have an image to protect


• Your level of integrity shows to what degree you are willing to do what you set out to do. Low integrity: Likely you"ll never change.


• How enslaved you are to memes? Memes is the commonly accepted knowledge, societal, ethnic, the chicken coop. (Re: The White Tiger). Unless you get out of the chicken coop (courage needed) you"ll be unable to raise your vibration.


• Adult capacities are rare... but the degree will show to what degree you are a little girl or a little boy crying for the bottle (or to have your ass wiped for you.)


• And lastly, the level of your awareness of your environment and of yourself... if that number is low, you live in your head, or more accurately in Plato"s Cave. Low awareness will result in high delusion. And believing in magic methods like the law of attraction, voodoo, and other magical methods.

Can you change these numbers? Yes you can. But I don"t know of many methods...

I teach the increasing the awareness method... I put together from wherever I found the components.

Society, your friends, your family are not interested in you changing... They want you to remain the way you are.

Lip service is just lip service. No one is allowed to flee the coop.

And this is why you need the courage Tai is talking about.

Got it?

OK, there is a third part that I don"t want to ignore:

Your foundation. Your physical foundation.

• If your health and hydration numbers are low... you are like a bird with a broken wing.


• If you have an undisciplined sleep schedule, if you are an insomniac, if you have to take sleeping pills to fall asleep, and Concerta or a bucket of coffee to be able to function in the morning, if you need alcohol to get through the day they you lack a solid foundation on which you can build.


• Integrity... this includes inconsistency...

I have seen huge strides when someone started to handle integrity.

This program is still in beta test, but it is starting to show signs that it might work: the Accountability Forum.

It works a lot like a mastermind: you post what you"ll do, every day, and at the end of the day you say what you did and what you didn"t do. I am not sure why it works so well, but it"s amazingly effective.

 

Drifting? Aimless? Unhappy? Bored? So-so? Read this article...

I just watched two book reviews of the same book, Happiness Hypothesis by Jonathan Haidt. ((Book truth value: 7%. Why so low? There are many reasons, but for one: he says: good ideas. Cowardly? Yes. Low vibration? Wanting to sell more books? Yes. Sellout? yes.)) Why? Because I wanted to get the gist of it, without having to chew 300 pages plus.

But I am still interested to hear the principles, in 10 minutes instead of 10 hours... wouldn"t you?

The two reviews differed vastly, because of the reviewers.

Their IQ being the same, I looked at their vibration, and the difference was there... 20 points difference.

Vibration, in one way to look at, is the height from where you look at life.

The first guy looked at the book from a height from where you can see the principles, and can allow yourself to be guided by them. That is the usefulness of principles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnwGZ_xv8nc


The second guy looked at the book from the practical straight "give me what to do and then I am done" view... and got mighty little out of the book, and none of the principles. ((There is a third guy"s video I watched for a minute or so...

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

He follows someone else"s notes, so I didn"t want to measure him... But you can watch HIS video if you want. He brings up different principles... so you get more of the book.))

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJJ2X-TPbuQ

Another major difference between the two guys is humility.

Humility is not how high you think yourself, it is more how much you think of yourself. I have paraphrased the quote... In another word: how much of what you hear, read, or see you do to benefit yourself, to get, to take, to fix, or to be offended about. You really only hear what you can see as useful for yourself.

I measure to what degree you think things are about you. The first guy has a 30% score, the second has a 94% score.

Now... I don"t measure this in the Starting Point Measurements ((
)), but curiosity is inversely correlated with your "about you" score.

Curiosity is the ability to remain interested beyond what"s in it for you.

Is this an accepted way to define curiosity? No, but it is what it is. The dictionary says: a strong desire to know or learn something. But the dictionary will never go and look under the hood and see what is driving it...

But if you approach it as the inverted measure of "what"s in it for you", you can see that the "what"s in it for you" can be satisfied fast, or it"s not even visible for the incurious person... so they won"t want to know.

I say 99% of my readers are incurious. Maybe the number is 98%.

How do I know? They read a little bit and they leave. Even the ones that ask for their Starting Point Measurements: they have a narrow agenda: either to get their inflated self-esteem approved, or to find out where they are compared to others.

And then the 1% will be interested in raising their vibration, but not enough to actually purchase my guidance.

One of the most detrimental invisible the Starting Point Measurements show is to what degree you filter things through yourself.

Why is being all about yourself detrimental?

• 1. For one: you cannot see the forest for the trees, you cannot get distinctions or principles to guide you, because you cannot even look at them, because you would have to take your eyes off yourself.


• 2. But even more important: you cannot be happy.

To be happy you need to have a context for your life, a meaning, that is larger than yourself. It can include yourself, but it goes beyond yourself.

When your "about you" part is too big, you cannot do it.

• 3. And third: You cannot learn anything, because you already know everything you want to know. Not skills, not anything.


• 4. You have no center, you have no self. You have no sense of control... things happen to you, good and bad, and your mood will change accordingly. You are busy with sand and maybe even pebbles in your life, but no matter how hard you try, you cannot see any rock that is important to you enough to organize your life around.

This is the reason I make the 67 steps coaching participants start every post about every step stating what is the principle, or if there are more, what are the principles.

What is a principle? Dictionary says: a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.

But surprisingly, if you don"t live your life by principles, they your happiness level, your level of accomplishment will be low.

It isn"t said in the Integrity Statement, but your integrity will suffer... You are going to walk east, west, south... but not true north. And you will not like yourself.

Principles are the rocks, as opposed to pebbles and sand.

You consider memes principles, but they are not. Memes are cultural truisms, cultural guidance, to make you sheep, to make you enrich others, to give up your individuality.

Principles, on the other hand, are time tested, across different cultures, and they strengthen and honor your individuality.

Here is a principle most people know, even if they don"t know what it means. Their incuriosity (lack of curiosity) never allowed them to go deep into the principle.

Begin with the end in mind.

When you start an action with an end in mind, your innate guidance will be activated, and you"ll know if you are moving towards or away from that end. I don"t call it goal... I call it the horizon. It is not specific and not measurable, like a goal. It"s a direction.

Here is an example: become all you can become... you can see that the more you move towards that the farther it seems to move... which is the nature of the horizon.

But as long as you move towards it, your integrity is intact... When you make a wrong step, you can self-correct, because you can simply return to moving towards that horizon.

• For example: living a life you love and you live it powerfully... Of course it"s not a simplistic horizon... and Landmark Education has four courses to teach the distinctions it will take to see and obey to get there.


• But you can break it down to components. For example one of the horizons I suggested to a student of mine, after a long conversation delineate what he doesn"t want is this: Making a life and a living doing only what he says he would do. Like me...

Of course that was my good idea, and eventually he will come up with his own horizon...

• Or another of my students who set out towards the horizon: "I choose my self to be a free, independent and productive human being; an idea machine"

Without a horizon operational in your life, your integrity will be low.

100% of all the people I have ever measured have an integrity score of less than 10%. They may cry bloody murder, but without a horizon, there is no integrity. Only drifting.

Drifting? Aimless? Unhappy? Bored? So-so? Read this article...

The second guy looked at the book from the practical straight "give me what to do and then I am done" view... and got mighty little out of the book, and none of the principles. ((There is a third guy"s video I watched for a minute or so...

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

He follows someone else"s notes, so I didn"t want to measure him... But you can watch HIS video if you want. He brings up different principles... so you get more of the book.))

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJJ2X-TPbuQ

Another major difference between the two guys is humility.

Humility is not how high you think yourself, it is more how much you think of yourself. I have paraphrased the quote... In another word: how much of what you hear, read, or see you do to benefit yourself, to get, to take, to fix, or to be offended about. You really only hear what you can see as useful for yourself.

I measure to what degree you think things are about you. The first guy has a 30% score, the second has a 94% score.

Now... I don"t measure this in the Starting Point Measurements ((
)), but curiosity is inversely correlated with your "about you" score.

Curiosity is the ability to remain interested beyond what"s in it for you.

Is this an accepted way to define curiosity? No, but it is what it is. The dictionary says: a strong desire to know or learn something. But the dictionary will never go and look under the hood and see what is driving it...

But if you approach it as the inverted measure of "what"s in it for you", you can see that the "what"s in it for you" can be satisfied fast, or it"s not even visible for the incurious person... so they won"t want to know.

I say 99% of my readers are incurious. Maybe the number is 98%.

How do I know? They read a little bit and they leave. Even the ones that ask for their Starting Point Measurements: they have a narrow agenda: either to get their inflated self-esteem approved, or to find out where they are compared to others.

And then the 1% will be interested in raising their vibration, but not enough to actually purchase my guidance.

One of the most detrimental invisible the Starting Point Measurements show is to what degree you filter things through yourself.

Why is being all about yourself detrimental?

• 1. For one: you cannot see the forest for the trees, you cannot get distinctions or principles to guide you, because you cannot even look at them, because you would have to take your eyes off yourself.


• 2. But even more important: you cannot be happy.

To be happy you need to have a context for your life, a meaning, that is larger than yourself. It can include yourself, but it goes beyond yourself.

When your "about you" part is too big, you cannot do it.

• 3. And third: You cannot learn anything, because you already know everything you want to know. Not skills, not anything.


• 4. You have no center, you have no self. You have no sense of control... things happen to you, good and bad, and your mood will change accordingly. You are busy with sand and maybe even pebbles in your life, but no matter how hard you try, you cannot see any rock that is important to you enough to organize your life around.

This is the reason I make the 67 steps coaching participants start every post about every step stating what is the principle, or if there are more, what are the principles.

What is a principle? Dictionary says: a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.

But surprisingly, if you don"t live your life by principles, they your happiness level, your level of accomplishment will be low.

It isn"t said in the Integrity Statement, but your integrity will suffer... You are going to walk east, west, south... but not true north. And you will not like yourself.

Principles are the rocks, as opposed to pebbles and sand.

You consider memes principles, but they are not. Memes are cultural truisms, cultural guidance, to make you sheep, to make you enrich others, to give up your individuality.

Principles, on the other hand, are time tested, across different cultures, and they strengthen and honor your individuality.

Here is a principle most people know, even if they don"t know what it means. Their incuriosity (lack of curiosity) never allowed them to go deep into the principle.

Begin with the end in mind.

When you start an action with an end in mind, your innate guidance will be activated, and you"ll know if you are moving towards or away from that end. I don"t call it goal... I call it the horizon. It is not specific and not measurable, like a goal. It"s a direction.

Here is an example: become all you can become... you can see that the more you move towards that the farther it seems to move... which is the nature of the horizon.

But as long as you move towards it, your integrity is intact... When you make a wrong step, you can self-correct, because you can simply return to moving towards that horizon.

• For example: living a life you love and you live it powerfully... Of course it"s not a simplistic horizon... and Landmark Education has four courses to teach the distinctions it will take to see and obey to get there.


• But you can break it down to components. For example one of the horizons I suggested to a student of mine, after a long conversation delineate what he doesn"t want is this: Making a life and a living doing only what he says he would do. Like me...

Of course that was my good idea, and eventually he will come up with his own horizon...

• Or another of my students who set out towards the horizon: "I choose my self to be a free, independent and productive human being; an idea machine"

Without a horizon operational in your life, your integrity will be low.

100% of all the people I have ever measured have an integrity score of less than 10%. They may cry bloody murder, but without a horizon, there is no integrity. Only drifting.

Did you get stuck at a 3-year old"s level, and you are still behaving like a 3-year old child

Did you get stuck, ontologically, at a 3-year old"s level, and you are still behaving like a 3-year old child

Ontology is being science.

It looks at the grounds of your being. Here are a few examples: "I am an object in the world of objects." "I am not free to be myself!" "There is something wrong and it needs to be fixed!" "Don"t tell me what to do!" "I already know!" "It"s mine!" "I am a girl" "I am not loved" "Life is dangerous" "I can"t count on anyone" "I am worthless" ((Just like soil, your beingness is layered... rock, limestones, sand, etc... Nothing is as simple as that. And nevertheless all troubles come from your deepest grounds of being.))

Your life is built on the grounds of your being... like a house. You don"t like your life? Examine your grounds of being: the issue is there.

My main complaint about my customers and students is this: they act like 3-year olds that know better. They know everything better. ((I got stuck at 2-year old... maybe this is why I am so different. Not better, different. Different challenges, different issues.))

I am watching Marcella, a British cop series second season. Netflix. I can"t stand it...

Like always, like almost everywhere in life, people who do work by the book (memes, from the mind, of course) are people who are in charge of you, me, our health, our safety, our future.

They are our bosses, our clients, our spouses... most likely.

People who live in the mind and profess to know are 98% of the population...

And they spend their entire lifetime trapped in Plato"s Cave, giving orders, executing orders, or make up their own stuff without any real and personal knowledge, just because they can.

They cannot tell if a suggestion, a recommendation, an advice is worth a damn, so they will be improvising, and mix in their own good ideas.

All crap.

When you don"t know who is worth listening to, then you"ll have democratic listening... It sounds good, they are so nice!, they must know, they have a PhD, or a doctorate, or a Nobel Prize... or they are a millionaire, billionaire, or the president of the United States. None of them are a sign that they actually know, that their truth value is high.

When push comes to shove, you"ll always choose the wrong steps, and you"ll always listen to the wrong people. Predictable, I can bet on it.

Even if you are my client.

If I needed you to succeed I would be in serious trouble... because what I have to say, what I recommend, what I ask you to do will have nothing to do with what you"ll do. You"ll do your own thing and you"ll lie about it too.

100% of the time.

When a child is about three years old, their ego is the largest compared to their available skills, knowledge, and foresight.

And unless by some chance of luck they find out, at that age, that they don"t know everything, they will remain the same... taking their own counsel, even if they know nothing.

The independent streak, don"t tell me what to do! I already know! Not even listening.

And nothing and no one told them that the surest way to be OK in life is to make less mistakes than the miserable majority.

Mistakes are expensive. You learn from them, but they can kill you. Intelligent people learn from other people"s mistakes!

Experimenting, in reality and thought experiments are often available to those who know that they are mistake-prone... which should be everybody.

When you know you are mistake-prone you use whatever is available to you to make better decisions, to make better choices, to get better advice... especially better than your own.

People who know that they are mistake-prone study the mistakes of others. They wear a belt and a suspender so they don"t end up with their pants at their ankle at the worst possible moment.

And tread lightly.

Not you... sorry to say. At least not those of you I know.

Because learning from other people"s mistakes, learning who is worth listening to, requires your humility to be high... and yours, most of your humility stayed at your three-year old level... none. None at all. Not even a 1 or a scale of 1-100.

The reason you live in your mind, the REASON, is because you think you have there everything you need.

Arrogance, lack of humility.

Even billionaires live in their minds, to some degree. Charlie Munger: 20%, Warren Buffet: 7%, Bill Gates: 10%.

Elon Musk: 10%, Jeff Bezos: 5%, You: 90% plus.

One of the measures of your humility is the number of books you read. Is it less than one book a week? You are arrogant.

Another measure is how many mentors you have. A mentor is a teacher who is invested in your success. If they don"t know you, they are not a mentor...

Yet another measure is how many paid coaching relationships you have. A coach is also invested in your success. They know you, they guide you.

None? You are arrogant.

Start with reading. Learn the mechanics of reading. Oh, you know how to read? Maybe not! Maybe the way you read keeps you arrogant and ignorant.

You don"t read? Ugh.

I teach a method of reading that is new, serves many purposes, and is life-altering.

It practices your elusive capacity to direct your attention. You are an insomniac? Undisciplined? Inconsistent? Unhappy? You have no clue how to operate your attention.

It effectively brings you out of the mind so what you read can find a place to adhere.
It widens your cone of vision.
Depending on what else you do in your life: it can make you a winner who sees mistakes before they make them... so they can stop.

It"s simple. Deceptively simple.

But the 3-year old won"t like it. Because it is humbling. And the 3-year old doesn"t like to learn that they don"t know everything, that the world is not about them.

I priced it silly cheap, so you can even waste that money only to discover that you are still three years old.



It will either wake you up, or not.

How fast can you raise your vibration?

There are two main issues (lack of courage and lack of humility) that if you have them, you probably won"t be able to raise your vibration until you overcome these two issues.

To illustrate the first, I"ll use Tai Lopez"s email... Thank you Tai

I had someone ask me the other day "Hey Tai, if you could take one quote from throughout history and make it you life guide, what quote would it be?"

That"s a pretty tough question, because you can use quotes and history as free mentor.

If I had to take one quote and make it my purpose in life, It would be something I read from Alexander the Great. He said "Through every generation of the human race there has been a constant war, a war with fear. Those who have the courage to conquer it are made free, and those who are conquered by it are made to suffer until they have the courage to defeat it or death takes them."



Let me tell you, you get this one in your head and make it instinctually part of you, who you are and how you think, you will be head and heels miles ahead of the crowd.

Sometimes, fear drives people more than reward.

I think reward"s more powerful, but it"s like Alexander the Great says, "Fear is the horse running around inside your brain, it"s the stallion, and that stallion will kill you."

If you don"t throw a saddle on it or and get on top of that horse and ride it, if you just stand in the corral with a wild horse, that horse will kill you and that"s what Alexander the Great means.

Most people have never harnessed their fear, and so that fear causes them, as he says, they"re made to suffer. Most people"s life is one of suffering. They"re not in abundance, they"re in scarcity. Get into abundant mode. To get from scarcity to abundance, I"m not just talking about money, I"m talking about health and happiness too.

You can"t be afraid to put in the work and take on big challenges. You can"t be afraid to be successful. If you live in fear, you won"t take risks and take on challenges. Being successful ain"t easy. It"s gonna take hard work and time.

Don"t let your fears hold you back. The most difficult challenges in life can be the best things for you.

This was courage deficiency... as I call it. Or fear as he calls it.

And this is the second issue...

The primary issue, in my experience, is lack of humility.

Humility is the degree to which you can empty your vessel so you can get new knowledge.

What prevents you from being able to empty your vessel? A delusion that you know. A distrust of anything that you are offered. A desire to prove that you don"t need it. A self-importance... that your life is about you.

One would think humility is a base capacity... oh yeah, I forgot to say it"s a capacity. The ability to take your self-importance out of the picture... it feels like you are killing yourself.

It feels like becoming vulnerable... allowing someone to slay you. To destroy you. So you won"t allow it.

And if you look, that is the last thing that you want, to be vulnerable. Not even to the people you love. Hell no.

Other people call it "ego", but they don"t know, you don"t know what that means, and what you can do about it. So I won"t use that word. I"ll continue calling it humility.

It can be measured in many different ways, and in the Starting Point Measurements I measure it from different angles, to be sure that I am accurate.

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

Of all the 21 measures, many point to the same thing... and answer some aspect of the question:

can you grow? can you raise your vibration? can you learn new things and unlearn old thing?

Let"s see the itemized list and how the different measures relate to your ability to grow and raise your vibration:

• Your vibration shows your current level of knowledge. (1 and 2 on the list)


• The number of spiritual capacities show how many tools you have in your tool box to do life. (3)


• Your soul correction shows what major capacity is missing for you to do life well. (4)


• Your relationship to feedback and instruction shows your attitude towards finding out bad news about yourself (8)


• Your TLB shows how much discomfort you allow yourself to have: it takes a lot of discomfort to grow.


• Your clarity score, your vocabulary score shows to what degree you can hear what someone says as they meant it. The lower the score the less you hear. And most likely you replace what you read/hear with your own narrative.
  Your inverse humility score. The more you think of yourself, the less you are willing to empty your cup and gain new knowledge.


• Your ambition and desire number tell a whole story: the higher your ambition the more you are willing to do for what you want, including raising your vibration. A high desire number tells the exact opposite.


• Your degree of inauthenticity is inverse with your willingness to be taught, because you have an image to protect


• Your level of integrity shows to what degree you are willing to do what you set out to do. Low integrity: Likely you"ll never change.


• How enslaved you are to memes? Memes is the commonly accepted knowledge, societal, ethnic, the chicken coop. (Re: The White Tiger). Unless you get out of the chicken coop (courage needed) you"ll be unable to raise your vibration.


• Adult capacities are rare... but the degree will show to what degree you are a little girl or a little boy crying for the bottle (or to have your ass wiped for you.)


• And lastly, the level of your awareness of your environment and of yourself... if that number is low, you live in your head, or more accurately in Plato"s Cave. Low awareness will result in high delusion. And believing in magic methods like the law of attraction, voodoo, and other magical methods.

Can you change these numbers? Yes you can. But I don"t know of many methods...

I teach the increasing the awareness method... I put together from wherever I found the components.

Society, your friends, your family are not interested in you changing... They want you to remain the way you are.

Lip service is just lip service. No one is allowed to flee the coop.

And this is why you need the courage Tai is talking about.

Got it?

OK, there is a third part that I don"t want to ignore:

Your foundation. Your physical foundation.

• If your health and hydration numbers are low... you are like a bird with a broken wing.


• If you have an undisciplined sleep schedule, if you are an insomniac, if you have to take sleeping pills to fall asleep, and Concerta or a bucket of coffee to be able to function in the morning, if you need alcohol to get through the day they you lack a solid foundation on which you can build.


• Integrity... this includes inconsistency...

I have seen huge strides when someone started to handle integrity.

This program is still in beta test, but it is starting to show signs that it might work: the Accountability Forum.

It works a lot like a mastermind: you post what you"ll do, every day, and at the end of the day you say what you did and what you didn"t do. I am not sure why it works so well, but it"s amazingly effective.
