What has kept me proudly poor all these decades…
Will let you know what I’ll do about it…
Update: I asked Source if I can pull “whore”… I got a yes answer.
It attached on my forehead. After I pulled it, just like any other attachment, I started to cry. I hadn’t cried about this in the past 20 years.
But the proof of the pudding…

Humility is the opposite of my soul correction: Forget Thyself.
Every single human, whether they admit it or not, feel above average, and smarter than most everyone… and Forget Thyself is the worst.
It is a daily practice of mine to make myself a learning machine… learn from everyone, including my students.
Humility… it’s actually very hard… you need to give credit where credit is due, and every time, it’s human nature, you experience the marker feelings that come along with comparison: someone is better than me… therefore I must be no good.
And to maintain self-confidence at the same time… really requires the mastery the Playground program promises.

I have decided to re-read the Feelings book, and this time make it a study, memorize the names of the different needs, take a more earnest approach to learning the “language” of the machine that is need-based.
I am feeling a mix of fear and excitement. where? in my stomach, expanding to my chest.
My plan is to read/study the book is to study it at the beginning of my evening reading session for about 10 minutes, and then switch to my “other” book… whatever book I am reading in the evening at the time… currently it is “Curious” by Ian Leslie.
I am reading Curious for the second time, and this time it is, given the chance, going to change something in me and consequently in how I teach, how i guide, and what I expect YOU to do.
Unless it’s accurate knowledge… i.e. true, tested, from an accurate source.
Unless you know what you learned… unless you know what you know… you didn’t learn anything.
And unless what you leaned changes your behavior, inside or outside, nothing will change.
All learning is behavior modification, modifying behavior to become more fit to life, to play the game of life better, for yourself and for the human race.
So how do you modify behavior?
The process starts with an insight. The more energy is in the insight, the more energy you can or are willing to bring to the insight, the easier it will be to make the modification.

I wrote this article seven months ago… and some of the emails I get tell me that people what to stay the same, do different without changing, changing themselves, or changing anything about themselves.
It is not going to work.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news… but someone has to tell you… reading a book, even taking a course won’t change you… and therefore won’t change anything…
At the end of this article I’ll share one thing that happened in the last day or two, that changed a long time student of mine, at least temporarily… read on…
As I am working on BecomeAnIdeaMachine, this is my second day of this spiritual practice, I notice that I am already looking wider than yesterday.
I am not feeling well, the psychic attack is strong, so I am a tad more intolerant than my usual self.
Intolerance normally manifest in me in distaste…
I thought I’ll check out Bosch, the televised version of my favorite detective… I closed it after two minutes.
But I had an insight that can be really significant for all of us, so let me put it into words here.
Ever since they put out the pilot of the Bosch series, I have seen how important the role of the person who casts the actors in the success of a film or a series.

I have been “harping” on this with my students: hear the principle first, and then hear the rest…
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 (oh, 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.

Everyone talks about stuff… using big words, like transformation, but no one actually knows what the word means, and what do people actually do, or promise to do, who cause transformation.
If you really look, you can talk for half an hour, and you won’t even get near to it…
Why? Because transformation is based on something that people either don’t know, or don’t consider sexy enough.
They talk about beliefs, and they talk about subconscious mind, and blockages… but none of those is actually how the human mind works…
Why am I so sure of that? Because certain things don’t disappear or don’t become unimportant during evolution…
The five senses, seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smell won’t be completely bastardized by words, meanings, and other mind construct.

Being free to be yourself… feeling free to be yourself… The two are not the same, depending on your current level of consciousness, and your current level of WORD to being, one will work, and not the other.
I, for example, don’t feel free. I am free. It doesn’t feel anything…
No feeling. Just doing what I need to do, feeling nothing in the way… blockage, resistance, reluctance, or fear.
I am free to be myself, free to express what I want to express the way I feel it’s the most effective, effortless and natural.
I curse, I sing-song, I laugh, I dramatize… I do what I deem effective at expressing what I want to express. I am fully and unabashedly with the people I am with, minutely tracking where they are at, where their listening is at, so I can be effective at being together. I have no rules, no morals, no niceness… If I am talking to you, I’ll be fully with you because that is the only way to talk to someone… all other ways are pretense, and I have no reason to pretend.

This is a severely truncated article from “Vox”… I am only interested in giving you Bayes’ Method, that will help you go to reality with more certainty than you have now, and spend less time, a whole lot less wondering about your feelings… Whatever they may be.
To my dismay, this is what you have been doing, emoting. You make your decisions based on emotions… Life spent in utter uselessness.
I must admit: I didn’t know. I have never done that. I have never been thoroughly seduced to go down THAT rabbit hole, and spend my life in utter uselessness there.

George Bernard Shaw wrote more than a hundred years ago: “This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”
And what he wrote about you, being a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances… is more true today than it was in his time.
No one has offered a solution to that issue until now.
