Are you intelligent enough to use this tool to change your life?

There is a tool that you could put in your tool box, and get out of tough spots, conquer every issue, and become a happy, wealthy, fulfilled person... It"s asking different questions... to see different paths.

But neither you, nor myself have been trained in it, so we keep on asking the same questions and end up with the same miserable life...

How do you develop the capacity to ask intelligent questions that also alter your reality?

Yesterday I had a long conversation with one of my students. I suddenly had an insight into soul correction, that had been hidden from my view before.

How did I get to that insight? I asked different questions.

Asking different questions is one of the missings for you. On the level of human, this is ultimately the most important factor that the lack of it is holding you back from "ascending" to the next level of evolution where you can create your state of being at will.

Our upbringing, our education, our culture, our society, does not like questions. Especially different questions. Poking questions.

Adults get stumped even with the inane "why" question of the 3-year old. Incessantly asking why of a person who is incapable of hearing why in different ways, is inane.

That "why", by the way, gives you an insight into the hard-wiring of humans: it is looking for causes for everything, as if the world we lived in were two-bit. In a two-bit world there are causes and there are effects. In a chaotic, complex world, like the universe, everything is both a cause and an effect... and the question why is inane... like using tweezers to catch flies.

Asking good questions takes intelligence, but it also takes learning.

Asking good questions takes intelligence, but it also takes learning. If you have no one to learn from, you are condemned to stay two-bit: no chance to ascend.

Each question is like a different filter, a different lens, through which you look at a phenomenon, and each question starts to give you a more rounded, more 360 degree view of reality, instead of the two-dimensional, simplistic view you have based your life on, so far.

So how do you ask better questions? Unless you LEARN and then practice, you won"t.

I am NOT very good asking questions, on a scale of 1-to-10, I am a 3 in asking good questions. And that is the level of being able to ask a good question accidentally. I have a lot of growing to do.

Obviously, some of you will beat me in this arena after just a few hours of learning and practice, and it will make me very happy.

Because it is true, that if you ask good question, you will be successful at whatever the questions are aimed at.

• Finding the truth by asking different questions, looking at things from radically different angles, radically different distances, probing, testing, etc.
  

  When you can get to the truth without outside help you start becoming an independent individual who pulled themselves out of the influence and agenda of others

  
  


• Finding what is "wrong", what"s the mistake, what"s out of line, so you can correct it. Not fix it... correct it.


• Finding what you should do with your life, instead of doing nothing, waiting, or forcing a direction that is not a good match for you


• Unearth Your Truest Desires, meaning, really find out what is important to you, what is so important that you are actually going to go for, instead of pining that someone isn"t serving it up to you on silver platter


• Define Your Ultimate Vision: a vision for you, a vision for your life, a vision for your purpose, a vision for your relationships, a vision that is entirely doable with what is going for you, with your innate strengths


• Discover Your True Purpose, the purpose that will trump all the puny urges, all the puny distractions, all the puny fears, because it is more important than life itself


• Unleash Your Creativity. When you ask new questions, you find new answers... and the new answers will come from a place that you didn"t know you had... that"s creativity... the answers that come from that place beyond what you already know.


• Accelerate Your Pace of Success... Get out of your own way. Find new context for success. Find new ways of approaching it, other than greed, wanting to, and other scarcity and fear based states of being.


• Realize Your Full Potential... little by little, question by question, bet closer and closer to become who you were meant to be... The distance between who you are and your potential is vast... but you can close that gap with every new question. Guaranteed.

The book I am going to use to learn asking better question, by using the questions in the book, is Ken Foster"s Ask And You Will Succeed

Ken Foster"s book contains 1001 questions... a great way to start learning to ask different questions.

Why does it work?

In the normal course of events you keep focusing on the same darn thing, narrow focus, and ask the same darn questions.

Questions are a great way to move your attention, to move your focus.

If you want different results: ask different questions. Expand your cone of vision (big picture + timeline) and remove your fixated focus.

Everyone says: get out of your own way, but no one really says how. This is how.

Sometimes you need outside help to ask different questions. One of the Idea Machine exercises is to ask a famous dead hero of yours 10 questions.

There are many different questions you can ask... And I can pretty much tell you from your questions what is your stuck world view, what is your stuck self-view.

So I was instructing my student, after every round of questions, to change the focus of the questions.

Because unless the focus changes, nothing changes. When the focus changes, maybe even your fundamental world view and your utterly damaging self-view can stop keeping your hostage: poor, bumbling, empty and unfulfilled.

874 BILLION webpages on asking better/different questions haven"t made a dent in the world.

You are so stuck that you cannot ask different questions?

Or are you so afraid to let go of your main self-view (wretched, by the way!) that you don"t want to ask different questions?

What is the truth about you?

Rob Brezsny interprets the invisible and answers attacks

I am sharing today"s Rob Brezsny newsletter, because he answers a lot of question for me, about my work as well.

For example, why would soul correction be calculated from your date of birth... WTF, right? But it is very accurate, I must tell you. Even though I discover and am shown aspects of a soul correction, once I see the new aspect, I can look and it fits all people with the same correction like a glove.

I am also starting to see more clearly some low vibration aspects of different systems of thought.

For example: any system of thought that subscribes to god, gods, angels, or in fact any entities, loses truth value and vibration to the degree that the system depends on that idea, on those ideas.

The idea for a need for a supernatural being, or two or many shows a low grasp on reality, and that is low vibration.

The vibration, could be said, is a number that shows the accuracy of your world view.


And another aspect of a low vibration is denying anything that is not visible, not measurable, or doesn"t make sense to the man sitting in Plato"s Cave, the mind.

The invisible doesn"t cast a shadow, but that doesn"t mean it doesn"t exist, it doesn"t mean it is not influencing you or life.

My whole work is flowing from the invisible. And in that regard, Rob Brezsny and I are kindred spirits.

QUESTION. How can an intelligent person possibly believe astrology has any merit?

ROB"S BREZSNY"S ANSWER. Many of the debunkers ((debunk:expose the falseness or hollowness of (a myth, idea, or belief) )) who try to discredit astrology have done no research on the subject. They haven"t read smart astrological philosophers like Dane Rudhyar, don"t know that seminal astronomers Johannes Kepler and Galileo were skilled astrologers, and aren"t aware that eminent psychologist C.G. Jung cast horoscopes and believed that "astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity."

The closest approach the fraudulent "skeptics" usually make to the ancient art is to glance at a random horoscope column in a newspaper or on a website. To match their carelessness, I might make a drive-by of a strip mall and declare that the profession of architecture is shallow and debased.

That"s one reason why these ill-informed "skeptics" spread so many ignorant lies. For instance, they say that astrologers think the stars and planets emit invisible beams that affect people"s lives. The truth is, many Western astrologers don"t believe any such thing. (You can read more comments about this below.)

+

QUESTION. Because you pack your column with doses of wry humor and wild imagery, some people think you don"t take astrology seriously.

ROB"S BREZSNY"S ANSWER. On the contrary, I think my humor and imagery, along with my passion for crafting cliché-free language, demonstrate how much respect I have for astrology. With the vigor I apply to writing my oracles, I feel I"m alerting people to the possibility that astrology may have more credibility than both its sloppy practitioners and careless debunkers have afforded it.

+

[caption id="attachment_43216" align="alignleft" width="300"] Horoscope[/caption]

QUESTION. You have said in the past that you believe in astrology "about 80 percent." What"s up with the other 20 percent?

ROB"S BREZSNY"S ANSWER. I use the same 80-20 approach with every belief system I love and benefit from: Qabala, science, paganism, transpersonal psychology, postmodern rationalism, feminism, and others. I take what"s useful from each, but am not so deluded as to think that any single system is the holy grail the physicists call the "Theory of Everything." Unconditional, unskeptical faith is the path of the fanatic and fundamentalist, and I aspire to be a rowdy philosophical anarchist, aflame with objectivity and committed to the truth that the truth is always mutating.

+

QUESTION. But don"t you risk playing the same role the lazy astrologers do: enticing people to take on a superstitious approach to life and seducing them into believing their fate is determined by supernatural forces beyond the influence of their willpower?

ROB"S BREZSNY"S ANSWER. I call what I do predicting the present, not forecasting the future. My goal is to awaken my readers to the hidden agendas, unconscious forces, and long-term cycles at work in their lives so that they can respond to the totality of what"s happening instead of to mere appearances. I want to be a friendly shocker who helps unleash their imaginations, giving them the power to create their destinies with the same liberated fertility that great artists summon to forge their masterpieces.

+

QUESTION. How do you write your column? Do you use actual astrological data, or just go into a trance and let your imagination run wild?

ROB"S BREZSNY"S ANSWER. I draw up a weekly chart for the sun, moon, and major aspects of each sign. It"s the framework within which I improvise. The artistic part of the work is harder to pin down. One of my guiding principles, though, is to treat each sign"s horoscope as a personal love letter—to speak as intimately about the mysteries of the moment as if I were addressing a close friend.

Where do my inspirations come from? Dreams, letters from readers, overheard conversations, meditation, lots of reading in a wide variety of texts both sacred and profane, and the intensive cultivation of my own receptivity.

I also rely on fact-finding missions I call whirlygigs. During these, I steep myself with the intention of attracting lessons I don"t know I need, then meander the streets at random, going places I"ve never been and striking up conversations with strangers with whom I apparently have nothing in common.

+

QUESTION: Many modern skeptics/scientists" assumption imagine that astrology is based on the belief that the gravity or movements of the planetary bodies themselves is what influences us. Is that a misconception?

ROB"S BREZSNY"S ANSWER. Yes. It"s another case of scientists not acting like scientists -- not bothering to research the subject they speak about authoritatively.

In his book *Cosmos and Psyche*, Richard Tarnas says the planets don"t emit invisible forces that shape our destinies as if we were puppets. Rather, they are symbols of the unfolding evolutionary pattern. Just as clocks tell time but don"t create it, the heavenly bodies show us the big picture but don"t cause it.

Quoting Greek philosopher Plotinus, Tarnas writes, "The stars are like letters that inscribe themselves at every moment in the sky. Everything in the world is full of signs. All events are coordinated. All things depend on each other. Everything breathes together."

So it"s not just the distant globes whose movements and relationships serve as divinatory clues. If you"re sufficiently attuned to the gestalt of creation and pay close enough attention to its unfolding details, you can read the current mood of the universe in the arrangement of red onions in the grocery store bin or the fluttering of sunlight and shadow on the mimosa tree or the scatter of soap suds in your sink after you"ve finished washing the dishes.

+

QUESTION. You confuse me in the way that you praise rational thought and the scientific method, yet reserve the right to believe in astrology, angels, miracles, and other woo-woo.

ROB"S BREZSNY"S ANSWER. Thousands of amazing, inexplicable, and even supernatural events occur every day. And yet most are unreported by the media. The few that are cited are ridiculed. Why?

Here"s one possible reason: The people most likely to believe in wonders and marvels are superstitious, uneducated, and prone to having a blind, literalist faith in their religions" myths. Those who are least likely to believe in wonders and marvels are skilled at analytical thought, well-educated, and yet prone to having a blind, literalist faith in the ideology of materialism, which dogmatically asserts that the universe consists entirely of things that can be perceived by the five human senses or detected by instruments that scientists have thus far invented.

The media is largely composed of people from the second group. It"s virtually impossible for them to admit to the possibility of events that elude the rational mind"s explanations, let alone experience them. If anyone from this group manages to escape peer pressure and cultivate a receptivity to the miraculous, it"s because they have successfully fought against being demoralized by the unsophisticated way wonders and marvels are framed by the first group.

I try to be immune to the double-barreled ignorance. When I behold astonishing synchronicities and numinous breakthroughs that seem to violate natural law, I"m willing to consider the possibility that my understanding of natural law is too narrow. And yet I also refrain from lapsing into irrational gullibility; I actively seek mundane explanations for apparent miracles.

+

QUESTION. Can you sum up your approach to seeing the world?

ROB"S BREZSNY"S ANSWER. My outlook combines the rigorous objectivity of a scientist, the "beginner"s mind" of Zen Buddhism, and the compassionate friendliness of the Dalai Lama. I blend a scrupulously dispassionate curiosity with a skepticism driven by expansiveness, not spleen.

To pull this off, I have to be willing to regularly suspend my theories about the way the world works. I accept with good humor the possibility that what I"ve learned in the past may not be a reliable guide to understanding the fresh phenomenon that"s right in front of me. I"m suspicious of my biases, even the rational and benevolent ones. I open my heart as I strip away the interpretations that my emotions might be inclined to impose.

"Before we can receive the unbiased truth about anything," wrote my teacher Ann Davies, "we have to be ready to ignore what we would like to be true."

At the same time, I don"t want to turn into a hard-ass, poker-faced robot. I keep my feelings moist and receptive. I remember my natural affection for all of creation. I enjoy the power of tender sympathy as it drives me to probe for the unimaginable revelations of every new moment. "Before we can receive the entire truth about anything," said Ann Davies, "we have to love it."

+

INTERVIEWER: Can you provide a 25-words-or-less summary of what "Free Will Astrology" is not?

ROB"S BREZSNY"S ANSWER. My Free Will Astrology horoscopes are not rooted in or justified by any belief system, doctrine, fairy tale, authoritative teacher, elaborate secret joke, mystical wishing, well-rationalized bias, or rebellion against science. My horoscopes are fueled by poetry and in service to the liberated imagination.

CRITICISM

Below is some reader email that came in recently. (If you"d like to tell me your opinions on my work, either positive or negative, send them to Truthrooster@gmail.com.)

Mr. So-Called Astrologer: I was browsing through the Folio Weekly newspaper in Jacksonville, and saw your horoscopes, and really had to say: what the hell?!

One horoscope has a bunch of synonyms and antonyms mushed together. What is "strong softness" supposed to mean? Or "daring acts of nurturing"? Just sounds like nonsense to me.

Another horoscope has a weird story about the history of cars (although thanks for providing the moral of the story, because otherwise I would not have realized the point)

So this is just my request to, if possible, give us more of a horoscope and less of a game of words that really do not have any usefulness.

Hold off on the irrelevant stories and be more direct in giving some practical advice about my finances or who I should date. Maybe put in some numerology or even what to watch out for in the current week.

I love reading horoscopes but yours were very confusing and disappointing.

Thank you :)

Fran R.

So, how accurate are Rob Brezsny"s horoscopes? This is a truth value: 20%

Rob Brezsny: personal vibration: 200

If he could raise his vibration, his stuff"s truth value would go higher.

Are Rob Brezsny"s horoscope valuable? I have found that the value is in the eye of the recipient. What is valuable to me is valuable because of me. And the horoscopes have been an average of 70 value on a scale of 1-100.

Because it all depends on you, my friend. Your ability to capture value.

And not surprisingly, to the degree you can capture value here, to the same degree you"ll capture value in other areas of life... probably not a whole lot.

It"s a lot like a beautiful voice captured on a low quality recording... not beautiful.

If he could raise his vibration, his stuff"s truth value would go higher.

Are Rob Brezsny"s horoscope valuable? I have found that the value is in the eye of the recipient. What is valuable to me is valuable because of me. And the horoscopes have been an average of 70 value on a scale of 1-100.

Because it all depends on you, my friend. Your ability to capture value.

And not surprisingly, to the degree you can capture value here, to the same degree you"ll capture value in other areas of life... probably not a whole lot.

It"s a lot like a beautiful voice captured on a low quality recording... not beautiful.

You can"t JUMP to the truth... in fact, any jump is jump from the skillet to the fire

The reason I like to use the 67 steps in my own slow turning to the truth, and in teaching and coaching, is because even though it seems to JUMP to SOME TRUTH, it is wise enough to not declare that small and relative truth, THE Truth.

This is in contrast with everybody else.

I am talking about Tai Lopez and his 67 Steps Program, $67, worth all the money you can scratch together.

The overall truth value of the program is 10%. And yet, it can be the foundation of a life well lived, and a life lived powerfully.

Why? Because of its diversity, because of it looking at so many things, and so many layers.

It doesn"t address world view, because that is a controversial topic, given that 100% of humanity "sport" an inaccurate world view... and they protect it like their lives depend on it.

And I bet it feels like that their lives depend on it. Being right is more important than being happy, being healthy, and even being wealthy.


When in 1977 I experienced my world view disappear from under my feet, I went into a deep funk. It took me a long long time to recover, in fact I think I spent the next three years building a new world view.

So yeah, I know what it feels like...

In my case my world view was that Communism was a good system to manage life... I was 30 years old. I grew up in that, and I swore by it. And I adhered to that world view in spite of my many personal experiences.

Now, even though it was detrimental to my finances, detrimental to my mental health, it was what needed to happen for me to become who I was meant to become.

We, you, have a world view in all areas of your life.

Tai"s 67 steps addresses four main areas, four pillars of life... and pretty much leaves alone the central ones... he wants to be popular, and not controversial. No conversations on politics, no conversations on religion... the central pillars.

But even if you are just asked to reevaluate your mindset in the key areas, health, wealth, love and fulfillment, if you have ever tried, you do all that is in your power to NEVER CHANGE YOUR MIND.

I would laugh, if it were funny. It"s tragic.

Your vibration is a truthful measure to what degree your world view is accurate. In every area of life, including and especially the five crucial areas.

An observation that flies in the face of common sense is this: the words supposedly Jesus said: happy is the meek, because the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them.

What it says, correctly translated, is that the simpler, the more innocent you are, the closer you are to reality, the less your mind is poisoned with worldly "knowledge", rules, and such, the easier it is for you to correct your world view to match reality, in every area of life.

For example in the area of health: all the folks who live in the longevity areas of the earth are simple, uneducated, not-worldly people. Isolated from "civilization"... where civilization means all the false knowledge, all the toxic rules, all that separates, and alienates you from your self and nature.

The Mongols in the age of Genghis Khan died of fighting, or died at a really old age. This all changed when the newfangled foreign foods arrived to the Mongols... they got fat, their teeth rotted, and they died of sickness.

There is a way to eat that is in harmony with your nature, and there are thousands ways to eat that are not.

It took me, so far, ten years of systematic experimenting to get me to where I am now.

Tai says: the only mistake is an experiment run too long. Past the time when it said clearly: wrong direction.

I am guilty of running experiments too long. Liking, taste, texture, ease of consumption, lack of distinctions, busy-ness, eating on the go, and certainty based on false "knowledge"...

I am a lot more aware now... I see that awareness becomes possible when your health number, and your hydration number are both getting you out of the ditch.

That magic point is somewhere between 30% and 40%...

None of the eating methods you find on the Internet have a truth value higher than 10%. Why? Because they were created with a narrow cone of vision, on some theory that doesn"t stand up to reality.

No matter which diet.

There are gross inaccuracies, and then there are inaccuracies in detail... adding up to no more than 10% truth value.

If how you eat is based on some theory, you are not well. I guarantee it.

Tai"s grandma doesn"t have a theory. She just eats how they ate 100 years ago in Berlin Germany.

You see, this is what that statement attributed to Jesus say: if you have a theory, the Kingdom of Heaven is not yours... unless you drop your theory.

The fear of loss, the fear of "nothing" is stronger than the desire to enter the Kingdom of Heaven... the state of wellness. On Earth... that is where the Kingdom of Heaven is. And inside... the ability to enjoy life, to enjoy hard work, to enjoy people.

In my programs, The Amish Horse Training Method, The Playground, The Memes, and A is A, you slowly and gradually return to innocence... and life becomes workable, easy, and natural...

PS: That innocence is the result of trial and error, testing, and awareness.

Thousands of years worth of it.

Theories come and go. The people who are innocent have a dose of healthy skepticism.

My grandfather, in 1944, told my mother: "You are stupid" when my mother suggested that they can be saved by a Jewish Manufacturer who had a quota of 100 Jews to save. The only condition was: they could only bring blankets... nothing else. There was no room in the factory...

My mother went, and lived. My grandfather and 34 other close relatives died. In Auschwitz. Gas chambers. Yeah...

My mother didn"t wait for god to save her. She saved herself. She had a healthier world view and that gave her healthier actions.

My father taught me one thing: Don"t argue. Don"t insist on being right. It traps you. Keep moving, allow others to be right... they will let you go.

He lived like that and rose in life like a tree... unencumbered.

I didn"t take his teaching, I didn"t understand his teaching until I was 45... That is when I could start growing... Because I became innocent... again.

PPS: if you have been following me long enough, my teaching is based on Leo Tolstoy"s Anna Karenina principle.

The Anna Karenina principle states that a deficiency in any one of a number of factors dooms an endeavor to failure. Consequently, a successful endeavor (subject to this principle) is one where every possible deficiency has been avoided.

There are two main approaches to life: one is add more to have more. The other one is to remove more to be on the strait and narrow.

I am of the second persuasion. So I rarely teach you anything you can delight in, and you will be willing to share... rarely if ever.

I create my programs on the basis of what needs to be removed so you can be well, you can be peaceful, joyful, and successful.

Once you remove all that keeps you not well, you are left with what makes you well, joyful, peaceful, and successful.

It has worked in my health. It is getting my social life better and better. My happiness... dramatically. And even my money... I work less and enjoy it more. And after decades of being afraid of rent paying day, I sail through it without noticing.

PPPS: Why am I using the t-shirt covered chairs pictures in this article?

Other than they are beautiful? It is because they follow no political correctness. They seem to obey life... beautifully.

NEW: Reality: collective hunch at best!

The article Energies Part 4: Designer Energies has been read by many people, and everyone I have spoken with, has, so far, misunderstood it.

Why? Because the article touches on the most fundamental world view through which you perceive everything: Your personal reality.

You can"t see it, you can"t verbalize it, you don"t believe when someone calls it your world view: it is reality for you, and that"s that.

No matter who it is, what they do for a living, what level of education, what level of vibration they are at: we all have a personal reality. Vastly different one from another...

All personal realities have commonalities

NEW: Your vibration and your world view... are you expecting to raise your vibration without changing your world view?

http://www.yourvibration.com/wp-content/uploads/Walk_Through_Walls.png
I watched an episode of House ((An American TV show featuring a doctor, called Dr. House. The character"s vibration is 300... I am not talking about the actor, the character, his behavior, his view of life...)) last night. One of the characters says to Dr. House: "But you are not curious!" The bells went off in my head. That"s it! That moment suddenly made it clear to my why all my work has been ineffective with you, why you haven"t become an Expanding Human Being, in spite of your good intentions, in spite of all my articles, activators, courses... Your fundamental view of reality hasn"t changed, hasn"t changed at all.

You live in a world where you consider yourself a thing among other things. Where you and others have the characteristics of things: fixed, permanent, unchangeable and unchanged.

That is your world view.
