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.

You are an object in a world of objects… like driftwood.
People treat you as an object too…
And you treat people as objects that stand in your way, bother you, and such. Or give you stuff… or entertain you. But not as a person with their own feelings

You live in a world of your own design… But how does one build a world of their own design? Really design it? Consciously? With the end in mind?
Everyone hopes that this sentence ‘you live in a world of your own design’ means that you can change your life.

You hate your job? It is boring? It doesn’t make a difference? You are not good at it? It just pays the bills but no fulfillment?
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.
It is difficult to see beyond your selfish little self-interests…
It probably won’t surprise you that the most successful people, the producers, are able to separate their emotions from reality, and they more often act on reality than on self-concern. And when they act on emotion, they are just as stupid, inane, and ineffective as you are.
In MY job there is a way to be where I am the teacher and I know what I want to teach, and then I teach that.
And there is a second way when I ask: What wants to be taught?
What causes you to be that feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances?
It’s emotions. Or more precisely: emotional reaction to thoughts, words, rules, should be’s and shouldn’t be’s… to what is right and what is wrong, to what is good and what is evil.
In a previous course of mine, can’t remember which, I use a metaphor, or simile… reality is empty, or mostly empty. It is the sky. And the emotions are the clouds trying to hide reality, cover up reality, replace reality… competing for your attention.
Your life, your effectiveness in life, your happiness depends on your behavior towards the clouds.
If you only see the clouds, you don’t see reality, and you are wretched, emotionally jerked by the clouds.
In effect it all comes from the Original Sin: accepting the Tree of Knowledge as the ultimate guide to life… and grossly ignoring the Tree of Life… aka Reality.
If you want a different life from the life you are heading towards… your job is to unlearn what is largely invisible to you: Identify the water you swim in…
You don’t see things as they are, you see things as YOU are…
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
That was Shakespeare, talking about you, about your life, about how you live your life.
What he means to talk about is a life lived by emotions… without using the brain, the organ of rational thinking, the organ of perceiving reality, or more importantly telling apart the drama, the emotions and reality… and base life on reality.
Until now no one blamed your proclivity, your tendency to choose to look into what you feel on your miserable life.

The only thing that increases intellectual capacity is reading
Reading NOT for knowledge but to increase mental acuity.
That is a 70% truth value statement.
One of my coaches’ paid newsletter for January says, I quote:
How to stay mentally sharp

Are you enervated, as if there were no bones in your body? Limp? Ragdoll?
You see, Government mandated rest, family does that to you. Me. Everyone.
Unless what you do and how you do it is energizing it is enervating…
Everyone’s vibration that I looked at has dropped over this marathon holiday… even mine.

I am not religious, so this article will be a thought experiment.
In any universe there needs to be a fixed point around which the universe can unfold.
In our universe that is the untouchable rule of human free will.

What is it like to be a DNA adjusted human?
It’s happening, albeit slowly.
It is clear that the child genes are what keep one in the Matrix. And as long as they are on, even just one of the two, a person cannot even THINK being cause.
Causing anything, themselves, their actions, their lives.
As long as they think something else is cause, magic, god, parent, society… no chance.
As long as they look by the ‘machine orders’, the having to, the needing to, the wanting to, the should… all child genes in action.

The first thing we need to tell apart, distinguish, is the difference between a feeling and an emotion.
Nothing in reality creates an emotion. Emotions are not in reality…
They show up in your personal reality only. Something happens, real or unreal, and you say something about it, consciously or unconsciously. Mostly what you say: good/bad, right/wrong. And then the feeling you have, having said that, is going to match what you said: good/bad, right/wrong.

For 17 miserable years I was an architect in three countries. Unfortunately I brought myself with me…
I was, for a time, part of a team that introduced a new building method: building from the top down…
I won an architectural competition with it, I also won an award of excellence for a building built that way.
The method may work in architecture, and it definitely works for the fig tree…
