I have found, that the biggest ‘deterrent’ for me from getting something new done is a version of visual/mental overwhelm: when my wires get crossed.
Any occurrence of not understanding something begins the process.

Horizontal Plane vs the Vertical Plane: so what?
I like to start my day with Reddit. Reddit is a site with lots of different threads and topic, and some days it can give you an insight you could never have anywhere else.
Today was one of those days.
The topic was Anti-choice, unless it’s my choice
And the choice or no-choice was abortion.

Do something every day that scares you, they tell you
Some 35 years ago I participated in a Creativity Seminar. Creativity: LIVING at risk.
It taught: move towards the fear, call it excitement.

What is wrong with the human race? How come it is…
Part of my job as a ‘evolver’ (evolver as in causing the evolution) of the human race is to see what is the wrong.
To see what is unsustainable, untenable about human attitude and behavior. Why is it that humanity, time and time again destroys itself starting over from nothing.
I am starting to see that it is the possession and power over things and others… the hunger and the desire for more and more, better, and different.

Pretty but useless. Talented but not amounting to much
There is a science to create worthlessness, embedded in your life script
Yesterday during our Context Workshop I shared each participant’s picture with others… if we were on zoom everyone would have known how everybody else looks, but I do my workshops on gotowebinar… because it works for me.

Some mornings I wake up fully and wholly hopeless.
This morning was one of those mornings.
I stepped on the scale, like I do every morning, and it showed a number .8 pound less than yesterday, that is like 400 grams, and my thought, my commentary, my meaning was: I’ll be a svelte thin corpse. Yaay for me!
My work is hopeless, I think.

Butterfly vs caterpillar, human being, vs human aka homo sapiens
In the history of the Earth there have been five other attempts for Life to create intelligent life. Millions of years separating them… Atlantis may not be a myth, just didn’t happen in our time. Civilizations don’t overlap.
Three of those civilizations were destroyed by natural causes, and two of those by the civilization itself… parallel with the current humanity and its civilization a civilization of caterpillars.
Our civilization is heading toward the same self-annihilation, unless… Unless human being happens.
The end of having to fix what’s wrong is nigh
Why wouldn’t we want to fix what’s wrong?
Because nothing is wrong. It is what it is, it is how it is, and it is just a phase, it is just a place, it is just how it is, for now.
I am sure you are asking yourself: has she finally gone completely insane?
But I have always been like this… because this is the only place where you can be happy, growing, doing what you want to do… when nothing is wrong.

Black Friday… and what is at the root of your misery?
I am pretty tolerant. In some ways I am really easy going… Except…
My soul correction (34) has a big issue with trusting… and I have a really big problem with trusting if and when you are trying to pull one on me… pull the wool over my eyes, try to fake me out… how many different way shall I use
I cringe. My self-concern kicks is… and as you know…
Self-concern is probably the only reason you are miserable when you are miserable.
What will it take to become a human being aka a Mensch?
Where is the value in a workshop, or a consulting call? What are you really taking home? Where is the value in my paid podcast: the recording of my private conversations with selected individuals?
I am looking for that myself, I am looking for that for you… to identify what is the value.
As an aside: seeing value is surprisingly a gene… a capacity, that is on, meaning active only for about one percent of humanity.
Some genes need other genes active to stay on… I think foresight needs the seeing value capacity to be able to stay on.
People’ behavior boggles the mind… because people are spending untold amounts of money on stuff… so what guides them if they don’t see value.
And the answer is both surprising and obvious: what guides them is their wants.
You want something and you buy it. And, obviously, you don’t see value… this is why so many people buy something that they don’t know what to do with. They don’t know how to get the value out of it.
You don’t even ask if you can, you just whip out your credit card and you buy it.
And then it sits there, unused, and surely unappreciated.
Earlier today I offered to turn on the foresight gene… but do people send me emails: please tell me more about it… how to use it, how to keep it alive?
No, they just send me money as if it were an ice cream cone, with absolutely no obligation on their part.
But it’s $45! Yeah. It is only worth that much if you need it. If you know how to use it because it has been what is missing. And you have been trying, and looking, and pondering, and could not see the consequences of your actions… Yeah, then it is worth $45 and more.
I have both seeing value and the foresight genes active.
I didn’t always have these genes on… I have been forcing them on with painful and consistent practice…
If you compare a gene or capacity activity to a light bulb… those two capacities are on, but the light is dim.
About 10%… not very bright.
So I am still working on it. Before every call or activity, I commit to come away with one piece of value, something that has the potential to last me and keep on providing me with value for a lifetime.
So I am training myself to not go for the want, go for finding the value and then… gasp… mining it. Mining it like a gold mine.
Or making it work for me… for a long time to come.
I am accomplishing the first part every time, but the mining it, the making it work for me is still limping along on one leg… Unless I remember to take a note of it, and contemplating it is what’s missing.
I have found out that unless I turn around and teach it, it becomes as good as if it never happened.
I have a few calls in a week. And if I get one nugget out of each, a nugget that I can identify during a call, just one even if the call is a 3-hour call and the nugget is… ahem just a nugget, I am golden… especially if I teach it… because then I’ll use it.
As a leader of a call I often fret
