PPS: I did some research and found that most people consider others astute when they agree with them.
Here is a video to illustrate…

Principle: Make your plane land on the landing strip
I have been ‘harping’ on this principle with my students: hear the principle first, and then hear the rest…
Imagine that you are Cinderella… on the night of the big ball.
If I asked you (Cinderella) to separate the wheat from the chaff… what would you do first? If you are like me, you first find out what is the difference… in looks, in weight, and then start separating them accordingly.
I even used to use this capacity (oops, forgot to say, it’s a capacity!) to hire or not hire someone to work with me. I would ask someone to separate a pile of things by their category…
For you Everything is the same as everything else … except not always
Universally missing capacity… I found out. The underlying capacity can be said with these words: be able to tell the forest for the trees.

Why aren’t you happy most of the time? Or ever?
It’s not what you could see, what you hope to see, it is what you actually see, consciously, that defines your actions and therefore your results, your thoughts, your mood…
What you see is not reality. It is ‘occurrence’ and contains a little bit of reality, and an awful lot of words.
Words that explain, words that interpret, words that give meaning of what is actually happening: reality.

Osho: The art of walking the tightrope
In this series of Osho talks he examines stories from different ancient cultures. This is an excellent companion to what I teach. Enjoy!
ONCE, WHEN THE HASIDIM WERE SEATED TOGETHER
IN ALL BROTHERLINESS,
PIPE IN HAND, RABBI ISRAEL JOINED THEM.
BECAUSE HE WAS SO FRIENDLY THEY ASKED HIM,
‘TELL US, DEAR RABBI, HOW SHOULD WE SERVE GOD?’

Good relationship? Abundance comes from mastery. Relationship mastery for relationship
This is what I have been trying to avoid all my life…
Everyone and their brother says that connecting with people is the area of life where you have the most pleasure and happiness, and the most discord, and unhappiness.
Given my childhood, I am afraid of people, I am afraid of pain, and I am very reluctant to even have people around me.
Too much pain… and yet, surprisingly, I do crave unstructured human interaction, to a small degree.
Especially at times like this… Life is too hard for us… lol. I stumbled on the ebook this morning: “The Woman Men Adore…and Never Want To Leave”
Trivedi Effect or Placebo Effect?
My Birthday, Tr., Gopal, The Placebo Effect, ADD, American Women… What a Day!
It was my birthday today. I turned 64. The Beatles song… ‘When I’m Sixty Four’ was humming in my head all day. It was fun. I had people call and sing happy birthday, one guy came and I had a cheese cake and candles, and my name on the cake… it was fabulous.
I was also on the Monthly Enhancement Program by Tr. tonight. If you don’t know Tr., he is an Indian guru doing energy transmissions, I have written about him twice already.
If You Can Master One Thing, You Can Master Anything
Master your fears
The opposite of fear is not courage, not fearless… it is abundance. And Abundance is mastery.
Most people’s life is not about living, not about being, not about doing, but about having… and they associate abundance with having.
Wanting makes you wretched. Because your “ground of being” your iceberg below sea level is about desire… but unfortunately desire is like a leaky pail… you can’t fill it, you cannot keep it filled… So life becomes about wanting…
And wanting is about lack…
No amount of having fixes that you don’t feel good about yourself. No amount of having fixes that your attitude about life is that it is wrong… etc.
There is no such thing as abundance, abundance is a concept, and we can make an agreement what meaning will constitute abundance and fulfillment. Abundance and happiness. Abundance and health.
So this is not a physical truth, this is an empirical truth: having lots of stuff is not abundance, it’s just a lot of clutter. Ask me, I know a lot about clutter.
In the world of concepts there is no opposite to fear… other than no fear…
But if you go below the surface, you’ll find that no abundance can be achieved without dealing with fear…
Here is an article by a coach I don’t know, I probably don’t agree with about anything else… but this article is pretty good… 🙂
Abundance Mastery and Fear
by Andrrea Hess (personal vibration: 130)
At least once a week, I receive an email from a client or student who is convinced there’s something deeply “wrong” with them. The reason for their concern? They are terrified of moving forward and it’s stopping them from taking action in their business.
I have to be brutally honest here. There’s nothing wrong. Being absolutely terrified is a completely normal part of the journey. I’m not talking discomfort – I’m talking debilitating fear that takes our breath away.
Here are the normal issues we encounter as expanding entrepreneurs – and I am not exaggerating!
The thought of sending out a marketing email has us curl up in the fetal position, unable to move.
The idea of picking up the phone makes us crawl back into bed and pull the covers up over our heads.
We wake up at two in the morning, our minds racing, the fear of failure so much greater than the desire for success.
Bouts of crying, anger, and desperation arise at least once a week, twice if you’re really going for it.
This is normal, folks. Being petrified doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. It just means you’re an entrepreneur who is increasing their income. In fact, if you’re feeling good and comfortable all the time, you’re probably not growing your business. You’re probably busy, but not productive.
Most people actually invest most of their money and energy avoiding the terror barrier – by taking more classes, by doing research, by shopping for yet another teacher or mentor or marketing method, by doing a bunch of networking with a lo

You are meal ticket and you don’t know it
Religion, brainwashing, indoctrination, enslavement can be considered similar to an energetic attachment with one major difference:
I can’t pull it for you.
How did this issue come up?
One of my students, at the beginning of her participation, started to feel better and better. But since we started to activate Intention, about two months ago, she has been feeling worse and worse, weak, foggy, stupid…
So finally today I had time to look at that and see what the heck is going on.

Master your emotions by mastering the Amish Horse Training Method
If we didn’t have words, we would have no emotions. All emotions come from words… some are yours, some are not…
The Amish Horse Training Method is to be able to hear all the words that create emotions… and hear them in a way, that gives you a choice to honor them or not, depending of the source of the words, the relevance of the words…
The Amish Horse Training Method returns you to the driving seat of your life…
Not surprisingly, for most students the first step towards mastery is mastering their attention. Unless you can control your attention, you are a putz… and are controlled by someone or something, but not you. And for you to be you, you need to call the shot.
The luckier students admit that they have a difficult time sticking with a book… because they can’t pay attention to it, they can’t understand, or they can’t remember what they read. Or the do a narrative, argue with the book, agree, disagree… but have no idea what they actually read. They remember the arguing.

Lead your life with your strength
In this article I introduce the antisocial idea, that you are important enough, your time, your life is important enough to be used for something that you are good at and enjoy doing it.
