The Secret Of Real Learning

The Secret Of Real Learning

There is knowledge and there is knowledge.

The first one everyone who went to school is familiar with. It is learning what others say about certain things. What others may have discovered, experienced, thought.

You can argue about it. That knowledge is never YOUR knowledge. It becomes stored stuff in the mind.

The second kind of knowledge is earned.

Learning to walk, learning to ride the bike, learning to use your hands to write, draw, or feed yourself. Learning to play tennis, learning to swim.

These are entirely yours, no one can take them away from you, they can’t be forgotten because they are not mind-learning, not memorizing, not understanding, and not logical.

No one can argue them, it is not a matter of opinion, not a matter of point of view.

Schools, regular “education” emphasize mind learning. Mind learning is the great equalizer. It suppresses the other kind of learning, and puts us all into the biological machine, the controllable sheep category.

Almost all of us.

Some of us didn’t take to mind-learning. They call us learning disabled, they call us retarded, they call us names.

The closer you are to learning life the way you learned to ride the bike, the weirder the world considers you. The closer you were to mind learning the better people think of you.

Your Money And Your Vibration: What Is The Connection?

Your Money and your vibration
One of the major issues people, you, deal with is money. You want more of it. You want it to come differently. Better.
I originally wrote this article in, I think 2012. I just tweaked it today… But some of the circumstances, like having a car don’t apply any more: I don’t have a car.
Let me share my personal situation with you: I dropped my car off at the shop on Wednesday. I heard some noises, and the car didn’t like me to turn as much as it used to.

Distaste: the orienting feeling that you want to know

We all want to learn about ourselves… Knowledge is power. Understanding allows us to make sense of why things happen the way they do.

We are going to learn a new word that expresses a feeling that you have collapsed, you have confused with others… to end up with no clarity. There are about a thousand words in the English language like that.

Most of them are manipulated to misguide you.

One of the gems I’ve mined from the book ‘Feelings’ is isolating a particular feeling, the orienting feeling of distaste.

Why do you want to connect to Source? What would it do?

Let me start with the story of a famous thief…
Arthur Barry was described by Time as ‘The slickest second-story man in the East,’ truly one of the most famous jewel thieves of all times.

In his years of crime, he committed as many as 150 burglaries and stole jewels valued between $5 and $10 million.

He seldom robbed from anyone not listed in the Social Register and often did his work in… get this…

A tuxedo!

On an occasion or two, when caught in the act of a crime by a victim, he charmed his way out of being reported to the police.

Like most people who engage in a life of crime, he was eventually caught, convicted and served 25 years in prison.

Following his release, he worked as a counterman in a roadside restaurant on the East Coast for $50 a week.

A newspaper reporter found him and interviewed him about his life.
After telling about the thrilling episodes of his life he came to the conclusion of the interview saying:
‘I am not good at morals. But early in my life I was intelligent and clever, and I got along well with people.
‘I think I could have made something of my life, but I didn’t.
‘So when you write the story of my life, when you tell people about all the burglaries, don’t leave out the biggest one of all… Don’t just tell them I robbed Jesse Livermore, the Wall Street baron or the cousin of the King of England. You tell them Arthur Barry robbed… Arthur Barry.
Arthur Barry realized — too late –that he’d robbed himself of time.
We all only have so much time to achieve our dreams and aspirations.
I don’t know what your dreams and aspirations are — but I do know that for you to achieve them you’ll likely need to get the cooperation and help of your vertical self. Your higher self.

This means that you are going to need to know how get out of your horizontal self, get into your vertical self, and get the cooperation and supportive help of your vertical self…

…and the EASIEST way to do that is to connect to Source… that is on the same vertical as your ‘inner coach’, the Observing Self. And no, it is not your mind. Your mind is NOT your inner coach, though it pretends to be one. Your mind is the one that tells you that you are entitled… or that you are stupid… that you will never amount to anything, no matter what you do.

Your inner coach is your vertical self, and to locate it, you need to be able to use the Tangerine Method to connect to Source. (Alternatively, I think, you can do it while you are connected to the Big Bundle… but I am not sure. I can’t test it because I am always connected.)
It doesn’t have to be hard either. You just need the right tool and training to teach you how to do it.
You see, most things that are out there (I say most, because I haven’t seen everything yet. But for all the courses that I have seen, what I am saying here is true), most teachers, most training, most coaching, most meditation, most guru stuff, operate on and strengthen your horizontal sel

Your Mind Acts As A Filter. The Filter Decides If You’ll Be A Failure Or A Winner, Not Your Talents, Education, Skills, Or Smarts

Your mind acts as a filter. It filters everything. It works 24/7. The filter decides if you’ll be a failure or a winner, not your talents, education, skills, or smarts

What the heck does that mean? Most of us will never get it. Most of us will never experience it.

Why? Because most of us will never see the difference between one filter or another, we are so locked into our fixed filters.

What is a filter anyway? you ask.

Filter is the mind’s distortion of reality, a distortion in your view of existence, in a predetermined way.

Much like a window pane: it is never quite smooth, and as you move your head up and down, or left and right, you can see that the picture you see slightly waves, and gets skewed this way or that.

A not totally smooth window pane is a filter.

The mind’s filters are verbal. In fact, everything that the mind stores is verbal, or words. The distortions are caused by the words.

The Gifts Of Complaining And Other Weird and Politically Incorrect Phenomena That Produces Dramatic Results

This article is about a counter-intuitive transformational technology you probably won’t find anywhere else… It is worth its weight in gold and it can make the biggest difference in your life, in your level of satisfaction, happiness and well-being.

I am taking a seminar I took some 25 years ago. I am taking it again, in spite of the inconvenience of having to hitch a ride to a town 60 miles away, having to be among people with really low vibration.

I am taking it again because it made such a huge impact on my life 25 years ago. In fact I would not be here doing this work if it hadn’t made the difference it made.

Being in a seminar also means being in weekly conference calls. But this article would not be possible without that: without hearing what “normal” people function like: I have almost forgotten.

The name of the seminar is “From Complaint to Possibility” It does have a main title that I will reveal later in this article.

Let me first share what it is that I discovered about “normal” in this seminar, so far: it is dramatic and worth paying attention to. Chances are that you are normal, at least some of the time, so listen up, OK?

The seminar starts with looking at all the complaints you have in your life. The list of complaints fills pages after pages, if not, you are lying. Literally lying.

Complaining about stuff, about people, about ourselves, about the weather, about the Global Warming, about the government, etc. etc. etc. is normal.

Some people do it in their head, we call in ruminating.
Some people are politically correct, and hide it grammatically in their speaking, sounding like they are well meaning, and some other bull crap.

But it’s there. Takes eyes to see, ears to hear, and some free mind space to observe.

Most people have less than 1% of their mind allowing them to see what’s in front of them, accurately. Which means mostly they fight windmills, they interact with unreality.

Are you stuck with who you are? Watch this video and decide it for yourself…


This is the story of the character played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie, Catch Me If You Can. Fascinating, entertaining, educational, and made me weep. Watch it. It’s 36 minutes of educating fun.

Avoidance of success… It’s a pitfall to avoid

Avoidance of success… but it is more natural than you think.

It sounds nonsensical that you would fear success, but most likely you do.

That fear comes from unclarity.

Success feels daunting, it feels like a big freakin’ should.

It has happened to my clients. Someone was doing quite well. became the top of the class, and bam, dropped it all, and dropped below the level they were at when they started.
