I first heard about ‘the spectrum’ from a classmate of mine, in 1997. She is, was an advocate for his brother with Asperger’s… which is a certain level of atypical brain syndrome. The mildest is dyslexia, and the spectrum goes all the way to full blown autism.
We have lost touch since, but she has helped me to understand some of the differences I experienced. Differences from others.

What is the common error in many of the spiritual practices, an error that result in not what someone wanted from the practice, but instead forcing, or self-righteousness… neither of which are very spiritual?
I am learning a lot by observing Gurjieff at different stages of his journey, and through the different students he had.
If I am not mistaken, the mistake is made early on… in the intention.
I have learned different meditation techniques. What was in common with them is the desire to be free from the thoughts, and the harmful emotions.
It is the wrong start.

The most important thing to know about procrastination is that it’s an avoidance tactic.
We all have it, it is a matter of degrees. Successful people, successful students avoid what they have to do, in this case doing their homework, less of the time. But just know: every time the idea of doing comes up: the idea of avoidance comes up too.
What is the difference between a student that chooses doing their homework and a student that chooses to do avoidance?
The difference is not so much in the moment, but in the students approach to life and studying in general.
Context is decisive, goes the saying. Context is the why of an activity.
Context answers the why would you do that? Why do you want it? To what end would you do it? What’s in it for you?
A good student has answered that question differently from the avoiding student.
A good student could have picked an goal, like getting educated, getting good grades to get into a good college, getting good grades to please my mother, learning to work my mind, etc. etc. etc.
A bad student considers learning useless, a waste of time, something that was imposed on them. They, potentially, consider liberty: doing what they want to do when they want to do it, and not doing what they don’t want to do… when they don’t want to do it, more important than freedom, what they ultimately crave. The freedom to be themselves.
Nietzsche, a famous German philosopher, called that behavior “infantile will to power”… which means, that when you do avoidance tactic, you are acting like a belligerent young child, maybe even a baby, crying for the bottle.
One of the most valued capacities for a human is maturity. Behaving and using your adult capacities… choosing, saying no, the ability to be with, and be effective in spite of negative emotions, pain, or bad thoughts.
And another invaluable capacity of an adult is to choose the context carefully, choose it to help them through the difficulties of dealing with unpleasant feelings, memories, and emotions, successfully, so they move forward in life.
The biological age of a person can be 70, but their behavior can alternate between 5 years old and 15 years old: I know, I have a client like that, lol.
Band-aid type solutions like the ones this following article teach are just that: band-aids.
As procrastination is part of being human, it is common to put off the tasks we are not fond of in order to do more pleasurable tasks.
Homework is one of the most common tasks that gets deferred. Although it seems impossible, it is possible to stop procrastinating homework assignments and have more time to spend doing more pleasant activities.

Focusing on the task at hand without

This article is not about The Healing Codes… this article is about you. About you not taking the time and the effort to even understand what it is that you are hearing.
Your ability to translate hearing to seeing is weak. Why? Probably because being complete and thorough in anything is a rare capacity in humans… You think you understand and leave it at that. You don’t ask questions because you think that asking questions will make others think that you are stupid.
And you are right… they may think that… because they live in the same warped moronic world view as you do.
But intelligent people ask clarifying questions. Intelligent people look up the meaning of words. Intelligent people do experiments and realize that what they are doing is not likely what they are supposed to do… so they ask questions.
Intelligence, real intelligence is rare.
Intelligence is a behavior…

Great works of art, science, philosophy are much like a sculpture: they are all chipping away the parts, that don’t belong… but start with a block of marble, a blank canvas, or a single idea.
I offer measuring people’s vibration, because every 30 measurements or so I have an epiphany of sorts: I can unravel, I can see a tiny bit more of what I could not see before.
This is exactly what happened this morning.
The epiphany was about the Harmonizer audio.
The entitlement is anchored deep, and unless it’s pulled, it will keep jerking you back and forth, like a puppet.
Because I never felt that I was entitled to anything. My entitlement genes turned off when they were supposed to. It was around age 2. That was actually a little early, but that’s when it happened for me.
I never suspected that the entitlement anchor is actually more predictive to the quality of your life, to your unvoluntary harmful actions than the anchor to doom.

Why is drama a racket? Why is it never real…
Life is never dramatic. The drama is added by the onlookers or the participants.
Things happen. And you do what you do. You may get mauled, killed, or laughed at. But drama only happens in your head… it is never out there.
You look in the mirror and you see what you see.
I look in the mirror and I see loser. Why? I don’t care. I know there is no loser there… in fact there is no loser anywhere. so I have a choice: make drama or not make drama.
Most of my life, like everyone, I was making drama.
I found clever or not so clever ways to make people say that I was a loser or something like it. Other ways to prove I was or I wasn’t.
Life was a drama around being a loser.

I got an insight today…
People are asking one question and one question only: how do I get started? How do I get to where I want to get to?
And when I tell them how to get started, they ask the same question again. My answer wasn’t good enough.
So the insight I got is this: when you followed the current harmful teaching to imagine yourself where you want to be, you are expecting me to hand you the key… not tell you how to build that new reality from the bottom up.
This “imagine…” bullshit has destroyed people’s ability to see themselves, and reality, accurately.
Nothing works the way those “imagine…” people say… everything in reality is built from the ground up.
Yesterday someone asked me how to talk to someone to get a date.
I offered, instead, to look if he is ready to date, if he knows what he wants from dating, what is his agenda, etc.
“If it is to be, it is up to me” The horizontal and vertical dimensions of life
Most people interpret that statement, that declaration, in a rah-rah, motivational slogan way.
But even when they use that narrow interpretation, they don’t commit to it, they don’t lock themselves in, they don’t burn the ships, they leave a back-door open, although they never tell the truth about it.
They have a secret addendum: if I feel like it, if my mind agrees, when I’ll feel confident enough, if the weather is nice, if it’s easy, if it doesn’t take too much of my time.
