As I am working to fully distinguish what it is to be an expanding personality, (click to read the glossary!)and going through famous and not so famous people, muscle testing if they are, were, or ever were expanding, including me… I am starting to see something that I have never seen before.
You may not know, but this very moment, I am not expanding. I am more like trying to hold onto something for dear life. lol.
I am sparkling today with insights.
Yesterday, just before the skies closed on the Days of Power energy, my friend reminded me to refill my cup again. And I did… and today my world is showering me with insights.
About your expectation and reality… The gap… the discrepancy… and how you don’t learn from it.
How do I know? I grew up immersed in the same culture as you… so my starting point was pretty much the same as yours.
And I notice that my expectation about how life works is challenged every day.

What do mad scientists do? And why are they considered mad?
Mad scientists go beyond the obvious. They go beyond the visible. They go beyond the socially accepted map of reality, that is obviously faulty.
They are mad because they don’t care if they fit in. In their world, in my world, you are mad if you want to fit in.
Fitting in means dumb, superficial, gullible, manipulable, ignorant, sick, tired, and aimless.
So your reason to be here is all caused by what you find most important: to fit in.
Humans have this big brain, and they never bother to learn how to use it.

Recently I found myself finding my life blah. So I set out to regain my will to live… because with blah comes no will to leave, much like when you are forced to eat tasteless food, you lose your will to eat.
I also noticed that the color faded from my language. People stopped complimenting me on the turn of phrases, the expressions, the metaphors I used… because I stopped using them.
Depending on your level of thinking, you can use this amazing empowering statement to make yourself stuck and miserable.
WTF, EH?
What would make you stuck? If your cone of vision is too narrow, if your ability to see the forest for the trees is weak, then you’ll get stuck.
If you live life like you are an island… and many of you do!, then you WILL GET STUCK.
I have quite a few examples, because this kind of inability to use your brain usefully is quite frequent.

I am lucky. Life always offers me plenty to write about.
People say I am prolific, and if you look at my results: I write a lot. But… but if you asked me what I want to be acknowledged for, I wouldn’t say: for the number of articles. The number of articles only shows the tip of the iceberg.

You can be very happy with your life and grateful for its many blessings while simultaneously desiring more.
The quote is from a book by Rabbi Daniel Lapin: Thou Shall Prosper: Ten Commandments for Making Money (p. 3). Wiley. Kindle Edition.

We all want to be intelligent, and we are never satisfied…
How come? How come we are never happy with ourselves, never happy with our results, our lives?
I have found, yesterday and today, that what we consider intelligence is wildly different from what it is, and having intelligence, intelligent behavior so misunderstood, is a big cause of us not being happy with ourselves.
Here is what I found… let’s see if I can articulate it in a way that it can make a difference for you.
Should you trust yourself and only yourself? This is the question that keeps coming up… demanding an answer.
But the answer, of course, is not a simple yes or no.
So let’s look what could be the factors that decide if, for you, trusting yourself would be a yes or a no.
I got curious and queried google with the exact phrase ‘should you trust yourself?’

Let me correct that: I consider most decisions I make a test. Experiment. Rough draft.
Huh?
Yeah, I thought so. I thought it will sound foreign… But you will learn something, through this article, that is not common knowledge… and it is even new to me!
Decisions are an expensive activity for the brain. Any choice is. Important choices and unimportant choices equally use up a renewable resource, for ease of language, I’ll call glycogen, although it may not be that.
You wake up with more of that glycogen… it replenished itself during the night… If your sleep is restless, then you won’t have your full stores of glycogen: ever since that nurse moved to the next house, my sleep is restless. Even with the audios… Mind you, I have tried to sleep without the audio, and slept a total of 58 minutes that night. With the audio I wake up a few times, and dream or solve puzzles, or write articles in my mind, but I sleep and wake up rested. So…
And yet, I have less glycogen than if I slept through the night without working in my sleep…
But I digress… What I really want to teach you is…
