You can choose any color as long as it’s black


… said Henry Ford in 1909 to his sales people… From Quora

The phenomenon of wanting to please everyone, wanting everyone to like you… is the hallmark of slavish people, needy people, who can’t and won’t be successful at anything.

If you are an entrepreneur, unless you rein this neediness in, and internalize that no one needs to like you… you won’t be successful… because slaves are never successful.

Who are the people who really choose providers, coaches, teachers by who they like are the same people who won’t like you if and when you do what you need to do to take care of yourself. They consider you fodder… ‘I like my meat well done… I like my trainer to be nice, naive, and putty in my hands.’

No distinction.

Same if you are a whore of sorts…

Your homepage attitude… How to have a choice? I teach it to you here…


You read the meme that it is not what happens to you that matters, it is how you react to it. You nod, you don’t learn. You have no idea what it means. You are clueless.

This is one of the memes that never gives you pause, because it is a meme that is also a principle. It is true everywhere, and it is one of the most important things to wake up to… that is, if you want the good life. If you want success. If you want love. If you want to be happy.
But in spite of all your babbling about all that, when someone gives you the tool, you’d rather hide it, rather ignore it, because… gasp… you don’t want to be responsible for your results.
One could say: stupid as the stupid does, and one would be right.

You are mighty stupid, my friend.

You hope that you can continue doing what you are doing, being the way you are being, and reap different results.

Love was invented by humans… by religion to make you miserable


I am sitting at my desk. Trying to work. Waves of despair, waves of grief, waves of depression wash over me.

None of it is mine.

It’s two days before Christmas, and peak time for depression, and suicides is coming.

Why are people so low around Christmas, when the holiday is supposedly about love?

Because love is a human invention.

I am no historian, but my hunch is that before religion, and without religion there would be no such “thing” as love.

Therefore: the invisible thread in all the invisible dynamics that decide your happiness or wretchedness


I have been talking about these invisible dynamics forever… hundreds of articles about them.

There is no mystery about them, yet you need to actually be willing to look until you see them.

There is a common element in all the invisible dynamics I have looked at, even included the logical fallacies and cognitive biases, which are also part of the invisible dynamics.

And that is what I am talking about in this article. It is there, it is always there, it is already there. Invisible… Lurking in the background, lurking under the conscious detection.
There is nothing wrong with you. And there is nothing right about you either.

Emotional toughness, resilience can help you getting there


Do you hate to learn new things because every time you do, it somehow tells you that you have been wrong? Or not enough? Not good enough?

Well, toughen up princess…

But otherwise it’s normal. I know.

As a child I lived across the street from my elementary school.

I was nearly seven when I went to school, I was born September 4. My mother held me back because I was so tiny. My brother was two years older.

On the first day of school…

Apocalypse: an opportunity to develop some capacities to be ready for anything


This is an article partially rewritten by me. It is from Rob Brezsny from his book, Pronoia… with my notes, annotations…

He describes, through the “apocalypse” the relationship between the pedestrian (driftwood) way of living and the living on the higher floors… pretty much what I teach… Although his language is a lot more lofty, a lot more “spiritual,” but he expresses what I am trying to say, maybe better than I do.

Some “visionaries” and “prophets” expect a huge and sudden shift in the world’s story sometime in the coming years. Most predict that it will be a sudden cascade of events that completely changes everything everywhere.

Sleep Mechanics… solve long standing sleep issues


Sleep Mechanics… or ideas to solve long standing sleep issues, and for occasional difficulties as well

I will write this article in my usual style, that may be difficult for some… but easy for me.

I will write about my own experiences only… too many books and articles that talk about things that may or may not be true, useful, with one thing in common: what they write about is Tree of Knowledge… myth, truisms, but not the writer’s personal experience.

With that said: I will not write about anything I haven’t tested both on myself and on at least one client.

What is missing that you aren’t changing? What is missing that your life is not changing?


Missing refers to something not present. There is no ‘missing’ in reality… but in comparison you can see that one scenario it is there, in another it isn’t.

In one action it is, in the other it isn’t. You can see when you put them side by side… which, of course an advanced move, but possible.

So in this article we compare someone who grows, someone who is able to change, and someone who stagnates, doesn’t grow, doesn’t change.

Most people have a real hard time changing, by the way. Changing their minds, mainly.

I connected to two people this morning, both doing their health measurements. One is my niece, early twenties, beautiful, complaining of belly ache. I felt how she felt (of course, that is my claim to fame!) and it was both pain and nausea. The numbers said that she has something growing in her left ovary.

She is sure it is her intestines, so she is keeping a very rigid vegan diet, goes to doctors to find out what she is allergic to… none of that makes a difference. She is looking in the neighborhood, but not asking the right questions. Knowing her, she is sure it’s her digestion.

The other person was sitting at his clients’ office, and probably wasn’t treated as well as he should be. Probably he was treated as a person of no consequence… And I can feel that he is angry, annoyed, self-righteous. But it is a client, and he stays mum.

I am connected to him for quite a while: his bad feelings are interfering with my measurement…

The question we are looking at is this: what is missing for you, for these two people, for everyone when they are wrong, angry, annoyed, and altogether not happy.

Question is: Where is the person looking from? And the second question: what are they looking at? And the third: what are the undisputed ‘truths’ about them, about the situation, and about the world?

Another way to ask the same thing: Are you looking at the world always the same way?

It keeps the world the same way! Including you.

What can you do to personally upgrade to Human Being: magnificent, cutting edge, inclusive? Learn from the Bateleur Eagle…

I stopped at the public library yesterday and got a book, called Upgrade Me, by Brian Clegg.

I haven’t read it yet, so don’t rush and buy it: it may be good, or not, I’ll let you know. (book’s truth value: 3%, so probably not worth buying or reading it.)

Inclusivity vs. exclusivity
One thing is sure: replacing narrow personal or group “needs” with wider, more inclusive way of looking at things is the biggest missing, and it hasn’t gotten better in these past 100,000 years, despite all the pretense of love, light, and whatever preaching gurus and devotees. Or maybe because of it?
I am re-reading a book, some two thousand pages, on the history of the Mongols.

The the steppes of what is now Mongolia and the area around it, was, for hundreds of years, dominated by fighting between tribes that had their own khans. Same is true of the American

Correcting vs fixing or how illness is my racket


I don’t think I have ever really distinguished the difference between these two similar sounding activities… so it’s time.

As usual, I had to distinguish the difference for myself… the hard way.
I almost didn’t make it…
My strength deteriorated to the degree that I was having heart pain and exhaustion from just going from one end of the apartment to the other… So I started to mentally prepare myself to meet my maker, so to say.

The weird stuff was, that Source answered all my “diagnostic” questions with no… not my heart, not my lungs, not this and not that… yet it agreed that I was dying… Weird, right?

What can you learn from dyslexic entrepreneurs?


Why are there disproportionately more dyslexic entrepreneurs than in the rest of society? Society: 5-20%. Entrepreneurs: 35%

I don’t know.

I have dyslexia. My younger brother has dyslexia. He is six years younger than me. we are as different as two people can be. I am a risk taker, he isn’t. I am an entrepreneur. He isn’t. I read a lot, he doesn’t. I am a loner, he is a family man.

I have always seen the world differently… and was called amoral, stupid, fearless, weird, and people, including my mother looked at me with puzzlement on their faces… like WTF?

So one reason could be is that dyslexics don’t fit in and they don’t want to.

Fitting in, being accepted makes one want to be like everyone else, trying to lower oneself to the level of what others find acceptable… which is to be even less than them.

Students of mine who want to fit in, play below their level of capacities… and it is not conducive to taking risks, becoming a leader, doing something big…

The dyslexic brain is different in unpredictable ways, they see the world differently.

One of the differences I see is that I see inaccurately. The difference can be seeing a different letter, a different number, a different color… and in life that is a big handicap.

So I have developed the habit of self-correction without self-recrimination on one hand, and looking twice before I leap on the other.

But maybe even more important: I develop steps that are tentative… so the seeing errors are discovered early before they become fatal.

I consider everything an experiment, to test out the steps, and I look keenly at the consequences of the actions, that non-dyslexics don’t do.

You can see just from these few attitudinal differences that a standard-brained person would never really consider.

not wanting to fit in
not wanting to please others
knowing that one sees inaccurately therefore
—not give significance to missteps
—self-correction without self-recrimination
—looking WHILE stepping
—looking deeper BEFORE stepping… like in chess
—considering life, business, and experiment, every step, instead of being cocksure
—considering every advice, every teaching, every suggestion as ‘taking it under advisement’, meaning not swallow, believe, etc. but test, thing about, consider, i.e. do work, testing thinking debating it…

Standard brain people have the opposite of these, and the opposite of these can be deadly.
Are these attitudes and behaviors limited to dyslexic people? Not at all. Also not all dyslexics develop these habits, or we would live in a world ruled by dyslexics…

I have a client who is dyslexic but behaves exactly like a non-dyslexic, wants to be liked, wants agreement, isn’t willing to look… so no. Not every dyslexic will rise to the top of the heap.

But instead every person needs do develop these habit if they want to go far in life.
Become discerning.
