In a Landmark Education Course I took back in 1987, I learned that it is possible to live life from a new conversation, a new context: “Life is a conversation”
It is quite simple if you can wrap your mind around it, incredibly difficult if you are attached to the way you see the world.

I watch Netflix series that don’t make sense on the surface for me to watch. But when I look, there is no book, no fiction, that would teach me the principle Source tells me to learn.
I am looking for principles. Principles are a lot like laws. According to the dictionary, a principle is a fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behavior or for a chain of reasoning.

Everyone talks about reprogramming your mind or brain or whatever part they blame for your lack of success and lackluster life.
When Tiger Wood discovered that his swing that he trained and won with was actually limiting him, he needed to take time out to “reprogram” his body to do the swing differently.
If you try to program the brain while you keep the current programming, you’ll be like me… I was in an Israeli supermarket when this French lady came up to me and asked me if I spoke French. Yes, I said. Can you read the English instructions on this box in French for me?
I started to read it in French, I thought, but turned out I read it in Hebrew, or a mix of French and Hebrew: I could not even tell.
The memory of that fiasco stuck in my mind forever: this was 30 plus years ago.
So what do the “reprogram the mind” people do wrong that no one ever gets reprogrammed, and basically we are all screwed if we follow their teachings?
Before you can write something on a blackboard, and make it dominant, you need to erase what is already there.

What is more painful? The discomfort of finding yourself out, warts and all, or the pain of a life of not moving?
Most teachers, most gurus, let you remain the way you are (excellent business strategy,by the way, your misery remains, and you are hooked for life), and for that you are so grateful that you pay them money and more money. You spend your time with them. because it is so soothing… (but so are alcohol and drugs!).
After all spending time with someone who seemingly accepts you, seemingly approves of you, (or take drugs or alcohol) is temporary heaven, right?
In a joke…
If you know me, you know that the misery I experienced in my life for 50 years drove me to many modalities of relief, including affirmations.
Affirmations don’t work for me. Never did and never will.
Why? Because affirmations are spoken from the mind: and the mind says so many things, a nice word here and there won’t make a difference. Just watch how much difference and how long a pat on the back does to you: not much, correct?
Life started to change when I learned different ways of speaking. I learned that there is descriptive language, and that includes the affirmations: the ordinary way of speaking of most people.
Then there are the active ways of speaking: requests, promises, and declarations. This way of speaking does not come from the mind: it comes from your higher way of being: your vertical plane, your vertical self.
This kind of speaking creates a context that is inescapable.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that people won’t use request or promise sounding sentences, that come from the mind, a casual tool of babbling. They may even seem to declare something, but the power is missing.
Any speaking that comes from the mind is mere chatter, and any speaking that comes from the Self is a command.
So then why do negative statements seem to have disastrous consequences: what the statement says seems to come true? Because those statements, when spoken in the absence of a commitment, the absence of a higher context, are the true description of where the speaker’s world is heading.
I often say: this won’t work… this is going to fail… but my actions are not consistent with those “affirmations”, they are consistent with making it work.
Your most important job, if you want your word to have power, is to learn to connect to your higher self (not god! not Jesus! but your own higher self), and speak from there.
Until then you are just littering the world with your affirmations.
“What changes your focus changes your faith. What changes your faith changes your outcome.” ~ Jesse Duplantis
Let me start by saying that everything you say is some kind of affirmation – either positive or negative. When you complain to your friends, “nothing ever goes right for me,” you are affirming to the world and the universe that nothing should go right in your life.
It’s true, you know. You are where you are today because of your beliefs, attitudes and words. What you say today becomes your reality tomorrow. What you believe about yourself and your situation creates and maintains your world.
You may not like where you are right now. You may not think you deserve all the hassles, stress and problems. And you are right. But you are the only one who can change your life with affirmations.
It was a revelation to me that my lack of money, bad attitude and poor relationships were my own fault! It was life-changing to learn that I could change my circumstances by changing my words.
Over the years, I have learned to say

I looked at pictures of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi… who wrote the book Flow, and is an expert on talking about happiness. Not being happy, mind you, on researching happiness.
He doesn’t look happy, doesn’t feel happy (remember, I am an empath).
I even went and found videos where he speaks Hungarian… hoping to find a picture where he is joyful.
Didn’t find any. Not even one.
His insightful quote: “People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy.” is what was missing for him, and what is missing for most people most of the time.

Humans’ tenacity to cling to life, even when it’s empty and meaningless is puzzling to me.
Life itself is empty of meaning… and if your life has meaning it is because you put it there.
Most people I meet have flimsy meaning, meaning that is temporary… or they have no meaning at all.

Yesterday I had a rude awakening.
In a call with a private coaching client the clarity issue came up… After several instruction sessions, he still didn’t understand how to do the Amish Horse Training Method. You could say that I spoke butterfly and he heard caterpillar…
As I have written before, one of the measures of Axiology, the science of value through measurements, obviously heroes of mine…
Clarity. How accurately you see, hear, read…
Most people have low clarity.
I measure your clarity in the vocabulary measure… #10 which is what I find useful.
If your clarity is low, (under 1000) you will not be able to follow instructions. you will not be able to understand what an author said, the way they mean it, the way it is written.
I noticed last night that when I encountered a word in a book, on my kindle, that I only knew approximately what it meant, that unless I went to the dictionary right away, instead of reading what I was reading, the mind hijacked my attention and started to deal with the word, instead of the book, or what I was reading.
This matches my clients’ experience when they listen to me on a call. When they encounter a word they are not sure about, they spin off to a narrative type space (the mind) and stop hearing what I am saying.
Being a teacher, this spells disaster for me and my teaching.
If you can’t follow my teaching, your results, consistent with my teaching, are not forthcoming.
The average understanding of my students! of my teaching is 10% (according to muscle test)
The average understanding of visitors of my site of my teaching is 3%.
It is caused by the lack of accurate vocabulary 100% of the time.
I can’t train your vocabulary, that is your autodidact process. But I can train the Amish Horse Training Method
Without being able to do the Amish Horse Training Method, accurately, the way it was meant to be done, without cutting corners, inside and empowering context, you will NEVER in a million years will be able to reclaim your power from the mind, from the voices, from the memes, from the Dark Side.
It is frustrating to teach people who cannot hear you. You can imagine.
But when I ask the question: is it worth it? The answer is yes. Even if I can only manage to teach one person… and that one person becomes an expanding human being, the practice has proven itself to be accurate, and to work.
And then I can have a choice to add others to that side, or call it a day, and retire or die.
Until then: my work is not finished.
As long as you habitually go to the mind, nothing new can enter.
Your clarity will actually decrease. Any and all course, book, teaching will be misunderstood. And you’ll go deeper and deeper to the place where you have no control over your inner environment meaning, no control of what runs your life, and no control of how you feel.
I have a plan for a solution. It may not work… but you never know until you tested it. That is how it

I had an experience this morning that I’d like to share.
Someone asked for the silent version of the Effortless Abundance Activator audio.
I dug for the parts of it my hard drive, and put it together… without the ocean sound in the background. Don’t forget, most of the activators are put together from many audios layered, otherwise each energy would come down one after the other and the effect would be less, and the audio longer. So I record the energies in separate audios and then layer them… instead.
I bet you want to be able to create with your word… right? But your attempts have been failed attempts…
Here is some clarification why that doesn’t work, even though you have the capacity… but it isn’t working.
I woke up early today. I woke up from probably the best-feeling dream I have ever had.
I was in some kind of exam, and I was compared, paired up, grouped with people who were decades younger, and miles below my knowledge level.
But they were home, and I was an alien. Alien to the country, not a space alien.
Anyway, there was this teacher, who worked with me… Forgot to say that the exam was in another language… not any of the languages I already speak.
The teacher and I worked. On the day of the exam I left him home to sleep, and went to the exam by myself.
