What is the difference between people who make a lot of money, and people who don’t,
people who have good family life, and people who don’t,
people who have good health and people who don’t?
I watched a video on which a dude played the same exact tunes on three different violins.
The link to the video was on Digg, and the editor said that they, in Digg’s office, didn’t hear much difference.
I did. One violin’s sound brought tears to my eyes… it was so incredibly resonant, and beautiful.

One of the happiest turn in my life was when I fully turned away from architecture.
I started architecture school in 1966. I, unknowingly, chose that profession, because my mother wanted to be an architect, but could not, because of the Jewish Laws that came in in 1938, limiting the number of Jewish students at universities.
I didn’t know that I was an empath and I felt my mother’s feelings instead of my own… and she felt strong desire towards architecture.

The culture of Approximately
It’s taken millions, maybe even billions of years to evolve into a species that is 99% corrupted into believing that to get something it is enough to wish to.
For me this was invisible for a long time…
The first glimpse I got was when I first heard about satsang… a group of devotees sitting around a dude or dudette and attempt to absorb their whatever… vibration, peace, knowledge… all things that you cannot fully absorb, because they need to be worked for.
My parents weren’t wearing those distorting glasses.

You can learn nearly anything on the internet if you know how to learn.
And yet, if you look, people don’t learn much, don’t do much, and the momentary excitement, the big promises die almost as fast as they were born, leaving the promiser frustrated, and puzzled why they can’t keep their word, and actually do what they said they would do.

The upgrade of the human DNA is done, and now every person on the planet has the missing 13 capacities as part of their DNA, permanently.
I find myself reluctant to say anything. I find myself reluctant to write, and that feels weird after having written seven thousand pages in the past two years. After having worked on the distinguishing of these missing capacities for 10 years…
My dilemma is that just because you can, you still haven’t changed. And unless you change your behavior, unless you do what it takes to activate those new capacities, nothing will change. Nothing.
You are still listening with the old mindset. And you ARE your mindset, and no new capacity will change that. No new information will change that. Only new action will change that.
The choice, for me, is to be inspiring or truthful. It always has been the choice, I just could not see it.
Your other teachers and healers talk inspiring. 100% lie. 100% soothing. Permission for you to stay the same.
The identity you invented is preventing you from living the life you want
What identity? you ask.
That person you deeply believe that you are. The good person, the helpful person, the nice person…
Or the superman
Or the intelligent, well spoken person
Or the smart person…
Or the humble person…
But there are questions, because those same identity traits are at the root of some of your complaints, so there is a disharmony somewhere.

Learning to Learn on Coursera.org, the missing piece of the puzzle, especially if you combine it with the Playground: the partner calls, and the skill learning challenge.
I’ve completed the first two weeks of study on coursera, with 99% effectiveness measured by the tests: only two mistakes total.. But did I learn the material?
Why didn’t I take a whole week to do a week’s worth of study?
I am like a person who after weeks lost in the desert, finds good drinking water… Hungry, thirsty, excited.

Yesterday I was on a zoom training with a known videographer. He gave an assignment to us, participants, to make a five-minute ‘confession video’ of why we do what we do, being vulnerable, authentic, and firm in the declaration of the intention for what we do. Each their own… not as a group.
The call was in the evening, so I spent all my dreams pondering where was the point where I became who I am today… and what furnace did I come through to be that…
I participated in Landmark (formerly est training) for 26 years when I first decided that maybe it is my job to take Landmark’s teaching further.
I had offered myself to Landmark and was rejected several times. They needed straight delivery people, not thinkers. In spite of the rejections I never lost the confidence that I have what it takes to take Landmark’s work further, make it more accessible and more implementable, so it could make more difference in people’s results and sense of self.
But where was the turning point, where was the hero’s journey?

Enough
I remember, long time ago, writing an article to introduce the concept “enough” and one of my students got it and it propelled her to previously unimaginable heights of vibration.
This was years ago… I will probably have to look up that old article to remember what I wrote… it must have been profound. But I’ll refrain… instead I am going to look how is the state of “enough” among my students and maybe myself.
Things happen… They happen when you are young, and when you are little, a little boy or a little girl, every happening is very very very significant, and everything that happens seems to say something about you, and about your chances to make it… to live, to be well, to be loved, appreciated, considered valuable, etc.
You seem to be completely at the effect of everything and everyone, with a very limited number of moves of your own… you can cry, you can refuse to eat, you can talk, but they all seem to be ineffective: you have no power.
Then you grow up, and things still happen to you. And you still the effect… not the cause of any of it, or not much of it.
You are reduced to the one who can talk about it, but not the one who caused it, or can even contemplate causing anything.
And that is the typical, 99.99% reality for people on the planet.
