Worldviews: Tree of Knowledge knocking out the Tree of Life

Your worldview is invisible to you. It’s like the floor you walk on… the foundation of your life.
You need to understand that your dislike of certain people makes you a moron if you also decide that THEREFORE what they say must be stupid…

Or you like how someone looks, and therefore they must be smart. Ugh.

You need to be able to tell the difference between a person, an idea, a behavior, and see them as independent from each other… That what the person says is important. To look and choose with discernment, and after consideration.
Of course 99% of humanity was never asked to think…
…was never taught to think, and this discernment and this consideration I am asking for will not land as a valid request, because you can’t…

This is why in the past 3-4 days a good chunk of my followers sloughed off… unsubscribed, withdrew. They don’t agree with the worldview I talk about.

I remember when I was younger I also thought that being around people who believed reality different from me were like a disease I could catch because I listened to or read what they said.
I was young. And I didn’t feel safe in anything different from what I was told ‘the right worldview’ was.
I was a communist, or socialist, or Marxist… that was the right worldview in mid-20th century Hungary.

Worldview is like the floor you walk on. Any change in worldview makes your floor dissolve… so it’s frightening. Only the mentally tough risks it… And those snowflake people who left me and my teaching are not.

This article won’t be different: it will clearly delineate one worldview from another… and we’ll lose more snowflakes, I predict.

As people round the steps in the 67 step coaching program, as they begin the second cycle, they start to see new things, or they keep on seeing the same things…

Some see the things from memory. Comparing. ‘Knowing’. And some, a very few, from actually seeing.

Step two (in the 67 steps) introduces the idea of the Selfish Gene, and ess, an evolutionary stable strategy.
This point is where people diverge: one goes in the direction of the Tree of Knowledge, the other goes in the direction of the Tree of Life.
It is really amazing to watch them go, unaware that they chose because they are unaware of the other path.

In certain areas I recognize myself. I recognize the ‘there is only one right way’ view of the one who wears blinders, so they cannot look wide… they can see only where the ‘already always’ path lies. The worldview.

The view of the world, the view of people… and themselves among those people in that view of the world.

I will illustrate this with their own words… but before I do, I want to set down some principles:

Naturally, unmitigated by culture, society, memes, genes like to EXPERIMENT and arrive to new evolutionary stable strategies. Evolution, the desire for evolution is innate to the genes…  Evolved species start to use the edge effect: get more out of life.

Return to sanity. Get out of your head and live in reality

‘The masses have never thirsted after truth.
They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them.
Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.’
Return to sanity? What sanity? Isn’t everything, including ourselves getting better and better? The best we have ever been? No… 🙁

How to build a life worth living, if yours is not like that

Today I got struck with an insight.

I have written 613 articles on building, that is roughly 10% of all my articles, and yet I have noticed that building didn’t, hasn’t become part of the vocabulary of clients and readers of my articles.

Why is that?

I am not sure, but I think that it is a mindset issue.

How we spend our days is of course how we spend our lives…

I am reading a book, The One Thing. Tai recommended it, but I had been resisting.

But like most of the books Tai recommends, it does have a kernel of gold… Maybe more than one kernel.

One of these is what he says about will power. Quite fascinating and very useful.
He says, that just like glycogen, brain food for thinking, will power uses energy, food, and can be depleted.
I don’t have to rely on will power, because about a year ago I started to reorganize my life to habitually do the things that serve me, and remove the opportunities for doing things that don’t serve me.

It did take will power to establish the habits, but I did it one at a time, and one at a time it was easier to see that the new habits served me.

Clarity. Clarity is a superpower that you are not born with

Clarity is a lot like astuteness. It is the ability to glean the gold among the fake gold, among the pretend gold, among the inert, the ordinary.

There is an amazing scene in one of the Harry Potter movies: The scene when they go to find the horcrux in the bank. It is a cup if I remember correctly, in a bank vault owned by one of the Death Eaters. The horcrux hides a part of the Dark Lord’s soul, and to kill the Dark Lord Harry must kill the horcrux.

Why you do what you do, why you don’t do what you don’t do?

There are two types of students and there are two types of teachers.

Teacher One says: I’ll teach you!
Teacher Two says: I won’t quit until you learned it!

Student One says: I’ll come to your class, I’ll pay for your program and then I’ll try!
Student Two says: I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure I learn it and have it for myself.

Forrest Gump is a great person to teach my work through

Forrest Gump again… to clarify some of the most important distinctions a person can have to live a life worth living.

Some of the most important, and most life altering distinctions one can have are coming up nowadays daily in questions, in podcast… and I am happy about that.

The two that come up and will come up every session is choice and of course context.

Choice is easy to see…

Pivoting. You can’t pivot in your head. Only in reality

First let me set the context for this article: For the past almost 30 years I have been mainly a mindset coach, and secondarily a healer.

It seems that in today’s climate, in today’s low vibration, low consciousness climate my work is not appreciated.
So instead of blaming anything, my job is to pivot.
When faced with the reality that life is short, these women pivot, and alter their current paths, by way of a series of impulsive, ill-advised and self-indulgent decisions. 
This above is a quote from Wikipedia about a show called Pivoting…
Pivoting is using a pivot… a fixed point in reality, and turn around it to a new direction.
In my case,
‘when faced with the reality that my business is on a failing path, I will pivot, alter my current path, by ways of considered decisions and tests…
and won’t make any permanent decisions until the new path will prove to be both enjoyable and profitable enough for me to pay my bills.’

So this article is pointing to one of those possible new paths:

I am starting a new series in this article.

A series to answer why almost all techniques cause some change in your happiness. Some change in your health. Some change in how you feel about yourself, even though their truth value is low or very low. Even though the energies that they claim don’t exist. Even though the practitioner may have a low or very low vibration.

Huh?

Yeah.
I am starting with the Healing Codes and Dr. Alex.
Can we order lunch first?
That’s a line from Office Space (1999). Jennifer Aniston’s character asks that… before they sail away into lala land… or Kung Fu land as it may.
History:
Originally, back in 2011, my site generated thousands of ‘hits’ a day. Why? because I was writing about other sites, other practitioners.

And my reviews, instead of those being a sales piece, like everyone else’s ‘review’ written to get commissions gushing how great it is. Instead I dealt with what I call ‘assessments’… Assessments that I muscle tested and that was that.

Surprisingly in all these 10 years I only had one person who asked me to remove my ‘review’ of her from my site.

This new series, starting today, is going to be assessments with a different angle.

As I said above, I am curious why all or most of these modalities, etc. work, in spite of my low ratings of them.

Eventually I want to assemble a series of interviews with the people I feature… Interviews where they can fully express what they do. why THEY think their program is effective, why they think it is worth the money they ask for.

This on the shoulders of my ten years when I was sure that what I do and what I teach is the best… but the ‘world’ voted with their pocketbook… so I am humbled.

I still think it can be the best, but if no one is doing it, who knows? Maybe I am asking the fish to climb a tree, or the bird to swim…

Albert Einstein supposedly wrote, Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb
