Ever wondered why people never amount to much? You, or maybe someone you know?
Yesterday I had a flurry of conversations with clients and one thing became very obvious by 6 pm: people are trying to handle too many things at the same time. A whole laundry list of things.
Even two is too many.

Why wouldn’t we want to fix what’s wrong?
Because nothing is wrong. It is what it is, it is how it is, and it is just a phase, it is just a place, it is just how it is, for now.
I am sure you are asking yourself: has she finally gone completely insane?
But I have always been like this… because this is the only place where you can be happy, growing, doing what you want to do… when nothing is wrong.

You get nothing of what you really want…
Everyone tells you to be productive. Get up at the crack of dawn or before, and work work work.
And many do, getting a diabetes diagnosis, or dropping dead, or having to introduce themselves to their kids at their graduation or they would not recognize them.
But maybe that is not the purpose of life.

Let’s see if you have a sense of humor? If you don’t… stop here and go darken someone’s day
Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons. ~ Woody Allen
When I first came to the United States in late September of 1985, my trip was paid by a lawyer somewhere on the Palisades of NJ. I asked his secretary to type up my resume. She did it, on a computer.
There was something I wanted to change, so I asked for permission to go to the office and change that thing over the weekend.
That was the first time ever I did anything on a computer. I remember it took me hours of reading the manual to figure out what c-drive was and what to type in to make the computer do something, and open the document of my resume.
It was DOS time baby… I know that NOW but then I could not tell my arse from a hole in the ground.
And when I found the resume it fell apart in one keystroke… oops.
I spent the day and the evening in that office, but in the end I had a resume.
I was reminded of this incident this morning when I was trying to make a ebook readable for my new hero client who wants to start a business. And the word document of the book did look just like my resume back in 1985 and was formatted with as much ‘savvy’… meaning none. Using none of the built in capabilities of MS Word.
And when I look: I see this same ‘attitude’ everywhere. I call it arrogance… the arrogance of the ignorant.
What I call ignorant is
doesn’t know
doesn’t find out…
just makes up their own b.s. answer.
i.e. reduces the world to stone age level, where there was nothing…
Some people read a book, take a course, hire a coach and then do what they have always done… stone age… or at least ‘before they learned anything for a lot of money’ age.
Boggles the mind.
So… What is missing?
I say openness.
And… What is there?
Rigidness. Rigidity. I will use by club and clobber you to submission attitude.
The hardest clients to make a difference for are the rigid ones… They will, maybe, humor you to take them to the water, but they won’t drink. And they won’t tell you straight that you are wasting your time either.
Anyway, Rant for this morning… check. All done.
On a brighter note: I had a call with Amy, longtime student, great conversationalist. This was our third call, and I’ve come away from every call with something akin a gold nugget for myself…
But this time it was even better.
I had been sulking for a few weeks about some stuff, and I may even say that it’s been about a month.
I knew it was my racket… because every time you are not happy, it is always your racket.
But the racket is a tricky machine, and I could not see what I can do about becoming happy again.
WARNING! when you work with your racket, please know that what you’ll see won’t make you look good, make you smell like roses… No. You’ll look like a creep. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you.
It began with my birthday.

the first thing for you to learn, if you EVER want to visit the vertical plane, is CONTEXT
this will likely be a series
dictionary: context = the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed.

Okay. This audio is still going to be about context.
I am getting requests to help people change their context or create a new context, such that life starts turning with this new context, so what am I talking about?
Life is co-created and life happens inside the context that you live in.

Everybody talks about subconscious beliefs, but I have seen no evidence that there is such a thing. On the other hand almost no one is talking about what’s REALLY limiting you in life: your frames.
If you call something that it is not, you take away the power from the individual… and set them up to pay through the nose, and still remain the same.
Some people are masterful with frames, and their wealth is a testament to that… Tony Robbins is one of these guys.
I have been listening to this investment banker, Oren Klaff, who wrote a book (Pitch Anything) and is now speaking to crowds successfully.
His job is do or die… raise the money or die… every day.
Or as a public speaker, raise the enthusiasm of the crowd… or die.
What’s his secret?
Frames. Controlling the frames inside which people listen to him.

A few years ago I made a lot of money selling my Sleep Rescue Remedy. It worked, and 80% of the buyers bought it again. All I needed to do is fill and ship bottles fast enough.
Sleep is a big problem, and unless it is solved, people are getting more and more incoherent and less and less brilliant, less and less able to contain their anger, frustration, fear, anxiety, or desires…
Sleep is a lot like eating: people are unwilling to be disciplined about it, and they pay the price. A big price.
But it is a potentially big money maker.
So why am I not pursuing it? After all making money is good, right?
My answer even surprised me: because it is boring.
Hm, interesting. Is all making money boring?

Yesterday I spent about four hours listening to Jordan Peterson. The material I listened to was a truth value of 30%… not bad.
In some ways Jordan Peterson, the teacher, and I, the teacher, deal with the same things: people don’t see why they should learn.
Many reasons, I see, but one of them is fundamental, and also invisible, meaning it is an invisible part of reality, the part that is below the sea level of the iceberg. It’s not hidden, as one of my students says… although Werner calls the process that makes it visible “unconcealing” suggesting that it is concealed, which is another word for hidden.
According to Kabbalah, 90% of reality is also hidden, so maybe I should call it hidden… but I prefer invisible… sue me if you don’t like it.
