I bought a book yesterday. An ebook, to be precise.
I only bought it because I wanted something to offer to my overweight or weight conscious readers. I have been, myself, packing it on, and I thought that if I got into trouble, maybe other people did too… you?

The Secret To Attaining A Good Self-Image and Self-Esteem
Remember, that the more you like yourself the better you like your life? But did you know that you don’t like yourself, because you disappointed yourself?
When you are down in the dumps, and you try to pick yourself up, the experts say that you should do some juicy affirmations. But the truth is, that you know you are lying, so the affirmations don’t do you any good, in fact they erode the little self-esteem you have.
Your soul, your “real self” doesn’t approve of lying, doesn’t approve of cheating, doesn’t approve of stealing, and the like.
Our outward directed attention gives us the mistaken impression that if the world likes us, if we are outwardly successful, then we’ll like ourselves.
Unfortunately for most of us, the outward success doesn’t do anything for your self-esteem, and for your liking your life. It is the inward work that matters.
Is the Soul-Correction Workshop Stairway to Heaven?
We’ll first need to distinguish all the elements of the above question, otherwise we are going to be like two trains passing each other: not on the same track.
Let me hold no secrets from you:
soul correction is at the root of you raising your vibration. Nothing else. You conquering, one-by-one your shadow…
So let’s look at the distinctions:
What is Soul-Correction? It’s a set of set behaviors and attitudes that are out of vibrational alignment with how it is, a distortion in perception of reality
What is a workshop? Workshops are interactive. There is no actual material delivered, except when some explanation of distinctions is necessary in order to understand what’s happening. In my workshops I coach participants publicly while others listen. I make it as interactive as I can, and I demand attention, at least raising your hand by pushing a button on your computer. If you join the workshop (webinar) from a phone or ipad, you can type “yes” when others raise their hands.
I wrote this article more than four years ago. I assigned this simple exercise to about a hundred people, and to my dismay, all failed.
I discovered two days ago why… and now I can start teaching it again, and see if it is a lack of capacity, or a lack of intention that causes the failure.
Why am I so persistent in teaching something no one wants to do? Because, as you’ll find out, it is both a test and a spiritual practice that can take you to beingness, the dominion of heaven. I’ll add what I have newly discovered where it is needed, in italics and in the footnotes, below the article.
In this article I introduce a simple exercise that if you are willing to do, consistently, you will be able to accomplish a whole lot, probably more than any meditation program by itself. It does two things:
it takes you out of your head (what other exercise does that? Heh?) My bad: it turned out that getting out of your head requires a capacity in your DNA to be turned on, and most people don’t have it turned on… I can turn on the capacity for you. I also have a recorded workshop to teach you all the intricacies of that capacity: that capacity is the gatekeeper between being a human and being a human being. Available only this week…
The Detached workshop teaches you to step back
A “normal” human is weak, weak willed, and behaves in a pleasure seeking way.
A “normal” human being, when asked why they do what they do, they always have a because. Their whole being is effect: they are never the cause of their own action, their own feelings, their own thoughts.
The world of humans is an interplay of cause and effect. Rare humans are the cause of their actions. They are in higher states of consciousness. They don’t need an outside cause: they act as their own authority.
To go from “normal” human being, meaning weak willed and pleasure seeking, ordinary consciousness, you will need to develop capacities that are not taught in school, and they are not even encouraged.
When I first learned this whole distinction, responsibility, or said in another way, being a cause, the occasion was being late. I was late, and I had good reasons: I started late, the weather, the train schedule, the cab driver, the elevator… a slew of reasons.
The trainer suggested that I become cause of my being late. I tried, “I am late because I am forgetful…” but as he explained, I mean the trainer, that would still be something other than me being the cause. If it is an internal and inherent weakness that causes something, I am still a victim, I am still an effect.
I have posted a video on youtube on the Tangerine Technique, and the very first part, the most essential part of the Tangerine Method of Connecting to Source. If you get this part wrong, you don’t connect. It is really simple.
Now, if you watched the video, you now know that in order to connect to Source, in order to raise your vibration, you need to be able to get into and stay in theta brainwave state.
According to my experience, people continue thinking after they put their attention to their tangerine spot, which means that at best they are in alpha state, at worst they are in beta state. In beta state your mechanical, linear, busy mind is running the show. There is no thinking, only having thoughts, 99% of them repetitive, unproductive, and mostly negative activity, many call self-talk, or internal monologue.
You will need to practice this a lot. The goal is to be able to live in that space. Real creative thinking comes from that deep and slow space of Theta. Real thinking is not busy mind. Real thinking, which most people never do, is a theta mind state phenomenon. You could watch real thinkers, while they are thinking. Not when they talk about thinking: talking about is beta state.
As you may know I am a student of Roy H. Williams, legendary advertising man from Texas. I subscribe to his Monday Morning Memo, and I open it with trembling hands every time: his message for the week is always perfect for me, except that I am not always ready for it… lol.
I spent this morning weeping, depressed, thinking about the movie I didn’t have the courage to watch last night. It is a French movie, The Well Digger’s Daughter, and I stopped watching it when the girl in the movie is going to be seduced and impregnated… I could not watch it. I could not bear the finality of the situation, the evilness of taking advantage of the ignorant, weak, and impressionable.
Of course I as soon as I finish this article, I’ll go and watch it, because, thanks to this email, hiding from what you need to be exposed is not going to serve me.
Whatever gold is hidden in that movie, I must dig it. And if I am lucky, it will help me hit bottom.
Confronting the underlying misery of your life is your number one job, if you ever want to be happy, joyful, peaceful, and have the future to be open to possibilities, really. Not pie in the sky daydreams, but for a real life with real challenges, with real work, with real relationships… life. Maybe Life.
This article took me a long time to write, and it is so-so… It’s a difficult topic… It’s about being Clueless. The why and the how and the “now what?” And the WTF…
Once a coach of mine said: “you don’t have to be more than 5% better than others to stand out… and become a winner.” He also said: “You Don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it going.”
You don’t think you are clueless… You say you are confused, you don’t understand, you didn’t hear it… but clueless? No, that you don’t even consider.
But we, all of humanity are clueless… with some clues that are lead us to pay attention to what we know, and not to worry about what we don’t. And this is true across all strata of humanity, including scientists, smart people, ignorant people… everyone.
Why?

Like any iceberg, this is a deep topic and you won’t get the bottom of the iceberg rise closer to the top until you melted away enough of the top… The rule is that nine-tenth of the iceberg will always be under the water level. Always.
I have been melting the top of my iceberg for 28 years. It was clear to me that I wasn’t anywhere near the bottom because I still had the option of going into deep depression, despair, that I don’t wish my enemies to experience it’s so horrible.
I was pretty much stuck for most of these 28 years. I heard the same sentences come out of my mouth over and over again: this is how you know you are stuck. But after about a month of using the Harmonize audio, I started to experience movement.
The first “positive”, (in the medical diagnosis sense positive, lol) signs started to emerge when I read Aravind Adiga’s “Last man in tower”. In that book, his best friends kill this old teacher, because he stands in their way of making big money.
I reacted to it with deep despair, wailing, wanting to get off the planet. I knew I was onto something. Instead of suppressing, I started to give it a chance to express itself, fully. I watched movies, I read about the Holocaust (I lost 34 members of my family in that), and then I watched movies again, from the TV show “Lie to me.”
I am going through a rough time.
A business I started 25 years ago needs to be shut down. It wasn’t a self-expression for me for about 10 years now. But closing a business is much like getting a divorce, so I was just plodding along until it is costing money instead of making me money.
It’s not very complicated, actually it is much easier, technically, thank a divorce: you just shut down the websites, and cancel a few contracts with suppliers.
