If you look fixers want to fix the world. You, me, things. Everything. They are most people. The campaigners, the reddit, twitter, etc posters… They want to fix you, and they want to fix the world.
Why?
Because it is not the way they want you to be, they want me to be, things to be.
They are never happy, they are never fulfilled. They just complain, and label, and go around telling you, me, things, the world how we should be.

A house divided against itself cannot stand, said Abraham Lincoln, invoking a biblical truth.
Congruence = agreement or harmony; compatibility. Congruent = in agreement or harmony.
Pretense, lying, you and your actions not saying the same thing leads to no success.
An inner division, lack of integrity, lack of authenticity is the main reason you are not successful, because your energies are divided and fight against each other, instead of using that same energy to get things done. To accomplish. To produce.
Criminals are happier than you. Hitmen are happier than you.
You need to decide who you are… and stick with your decision. In words and in action.
Most people have no usable knowledge, knowledge that would take them from A to B.
The kind of knowledge that is useful everywhere, that acts like the foundation, so they can have an experience of standing on two feet. Two feet to feel grounded, to feel powerful, to feel that they can do anything.
Religion used to give that, the sense of who I am. Something you are certain. And nothing can change that. Nothing can dislodge that.
And then, to that foundation, one can attach other things. It is like a life-raft, you can grow it…
Mine was that I was a Jew.

I stepped on a bee in the park once and it stung the foot of my sole.
But my mother was so afraid of bees, and they stung her every time she got close to them… Then, for days on end, she could be the center of attention…
This article uses the bee-sting as an analogy… to show how an early incident effects your life… forever.
The bee sting and the stinger
Do you know when a bee stings you, it leaves its stinger in you? And unless you can dig it out, it is the source of infection, swelling, and much much pain.

Just like a company, shrinking looks like a good way to increase profitability.
But business may be (it isn’t) about profitability, but life isn’t.
When someone asks me what is the surest path to Expanding Human Being, I always bring up Bob the Butler. Or the quote and principle from the Neal Stephenson book: Diamond Age. Start living an interesting life. When your goal is not to win every step of the way, it is not to shrink to the size that you can manage, but to grow through trials and failures to the sky: i.e. an interesting life.
Summary: In this article I am going to illustrate to you how something evolves, as opposed to being born…
I will illustrate to you the thought process it takes to move something from good to better to better and even better… There is no such thing as best in this thought process. This is the foundation of an Expanding Human Being: there is no limit to expanding, neither in the mind nor in the reality of the Original Design. And I’ll share the breakthrough we had in raising your vibration.
When I came to this country at age 38, I was much like you in a lot of ways. One of the thngs that I remember vividly is my relationship to improvement. If a product label said “improved”, my thought was “that means it wasn’t good before, and probably isn’t good now… so I won’t get it.”I still lived in the mind, and the mind does not like improvement, it doesn’t like change. If something is good, then it is good, no need for improvement… Bah humbug.
When I was an architecture students, I learned two things that became totally useful regardless of the field I applied them. One of these is what I learned from my famed History of Architecture professor: He shared that when he graduated as an architect, he went to work in a theater, instead of the field of design or construction.
Why can’t doctors, pharmaceuticals heal cancer?
Cancer is like squatters… they move in when there is no one living there… and then use all the facilities, all they find to wreck the home, like a parasite.
You can kill them, you can burn them, and kill and burn the house/apartment/body with them.
So doctors, similarly, can cut cancer out, they can burn it with chemicals, radiation, but they can’t heal it. Why?
Because cancer is a spiritual disease, not physical in its cause. Just like squatters.

Without integrity you can’t communicate…
You can talk, but your word has no power. It doesn’t get things done.
Communication is making things happen… making what you intend to happen happen.
Communication is having people want to do what you want them to do. Anything less is not communication. It is merely talking.

How your integrity, or the lack of it is one of the keys to your raising your vibration, or not raising it…
Yesterday we had a last session of the course, From Upset to Communication.
The call was nearly all about integrity… or the lack of it.
There are countless ways to violate integrity.
The most significant ways are
lying by commission
lying by omission.
We all tend to know when we actually say something that is a lie…
We rarely know when we lie because we don’t know what is the truth
And we almost never realize that withholding the truth is the worst thing we can do for ourselves. It is a lie by omission.
I have written about, and taught the inner dynamic of perpetration-withhold before, but it seems that it is never enough. I have 3000 articles on this site, and no person can read them all… We are talking about more than 30 full size book worth of articles… that is a lot.
It was my shopping day yesterday…
Through bad design, I have my webinars on the same day as my shopping day.
And yesterday I felt creamed by the experience.
I dragged myself through, slept like a baby, but I am still exhausted today.
The difference for me between tired and exhausted, is my breathing. If my chest is not willing to expand, I call that exhaustion…
Anyway, I went to lie down about an hour ago, and opened a new book, 10-minute mindfulness, or something like that… on my kindle.
Five minutes into it I suddenly I realized what happened, what I didn’t do…
OK, first I am going to tell you what others teach you to do to be more present in life and less swept up in the drama of the day.
Then I will tell you what works… what I normally do, and what I didn’t do yesterday. OK?
