One of my favorite books is Seth Godin’s ‘All Marketers Are Liars.’
Now, this book isn’t teaching not to believe everyone’s story, it teaches how to craft your story so people that are like you, that people that are easily fascinated, will become your fans.
In the industry of healers, gurus, psychics, ascension people, the stories are more important than in any other industry.
There are two opposing ways of being that individually each is out of step with Life… unless they join forces… The tumbleweed
My Playground course is designed to bring the participants back to pre organized-religion times, where being in sync, being in harmony, being in step with Life is natural and not a sin.
But it is a B-i-t-c-h to teach.
Why? Because “The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.”

More books are sold on happiness than maybe even on dieting… especially because 98% diet books’ hidden attraction is happiness.
Weird, eh?
I have read my share of the books on happiness, of all kinds of psychologies, philosophies, and just inane silliness in articles, TED talks, youtube videos…
In my humble opinion no one is willing to shout out that the emperor is naked. that our desire for happiness is what causes this sea of unhappiness we are all swimming in.

What is the difference between people who make a lot of money, and people who don’t,
people who have good family life, and people who don’t,
people who have good health and people who don’t?
I watched a video on which a dude played the same exact tunes on three different violins.
The link to the video was on Digg, and the editor said that they, in Digg’s office, didn’t hear much difference.
I did. One violin’s sound brought tears to my eyes… it was so incredibly resonant, and beautiful.
Learning to Learn on Coursera.org, the missing piece of the puzzle, especially if you combine it with the Playground: the partner calls, and the skill learning challenge.
I’ve completed the first two weeks of study on coursera, with 99% effectiveness measured by the tests: only two mistakes total.. But did I learn the material?
Why didn’t I take a whole week to do a week’s worth of study?
I am like a person who after weeks lost in the desert, finds good drinking water… Hungry, thirsty, excited.

Yesterday I was on a zoom training with a known videographer. He gave an assignment to us, participants, to make a five-minute ‘confession video’ of why we do what we do, being vulnerable, authentic, and firm in the declaration of the intention for what we do. Each their own… not as a group.
The call was in the evening, so I spent all my dreams pondering where was the point where I became who I am today… and what furnace did I come through to be that…
I participated in Landmark (formerly est training) for 26 years when I first decided that maybe it is my job to take Landmark’s teaching further.
I had offered myself to Landmark and was rejected several times. They needed straight delivery people, not thinkers. In spite of the rejections I never lost the confidence that I have what it takes to take Landmark’s work further, make it more accessible and more implementable, so it could make more difference in people’s results and sense of self.
But where was the turning point, where was the hero’s journey?

I just got an email from one-time coach of mine in internet marketing.
He says that one of the reasons he loves information products because he gets to see the difference it makes in people’s lives.
I muscle testes that statement, and muscle test says it was a lie. Or more precisely, it had a 1% truth value.
One of the most important things for you to learn from me, is that people lie.
They buy something because they want the result it promises, the result it can produce if the person who buys it uses it the way it was meant to be used.

My horoscope often tells me what I should be dealing with, either for myself, or for you and me.
This is the horoscope I received in my email box today, from Rob Brezsny:
If you were a snake, it would be a fine time to molt your skin. If you were a river, it would be a perfect moment to overflow your banks in a spring flood. If you were an office worker, it would be an excellent phase to trade in your claustrophobic cubicle for a spacious new niche. In other words, you are primed to outgrow at least one of your containers. The boundaries you knew you would have to transgress (step over the boundary, infringe or go beyond the bounds of) some day are finally ready to be transgressed. Even now, your attention span is expanding and your imagination is stretching.
Obviously he uses the word “transgress” to express that you are in some self imposed prison, he calls it container. Rob Brezsny is a typical California positive language dude… not a straight talk dude, like myself.
Now, whether it is addressed to me, or whether it is addressed to us, I am going to attend to both aspect.
The first thing to examine where it is where “we”, you and me, consider certainty, security, knowing more comfortable than stretching.
We all have moments of brilliance and hours of stupidity, or some version of “not brilliant”
Some people take it in stride… this is how it is, no matter who you are. Einstein had moments of brilliance… and hours, days of stupidity too.
If life were not like that, brilliant/stupid alternating, there would be no life on the planet… we would all die of exhaustion.
Brilliance is not the only “peak experience” we all crave and wand to keep around all the time. So we are with pretty, and nice, and helpful, and all the other made up “solutions” to our failings… And, as I have said before, every solution is the beginning of a bigger problem.
I got raped because I was stupid, I said.

People in general are addicted to seeking out and listening to “teachers” they think they know something that is not knowable to an ordinary person.
The way to “know” is to have “supernatural abilities.”
What is supernatural? And what is esoteric?
If you look at the Map of Consciousness, you can see that there is no such thing as supernatural, there are vibrational differences. And, probably, there are glitches. And maybe mutants? lol…
Human Being, in his Original Design state is pretty close to what you call supernatural. Yes, compared to the atrophied, slavish, sheeplike human of today, the Original Man was really powerful.
Each generation of humans became more removed from Source, and now, in the sixth generation, there are hardly any traces of the magnificent design we once had.
Some people retained some semblance of the original, but not many. Why? I am not sure. I don’t even have a theory. Maybe genetic, maybe atavistic, maybe a glitch, maybe outside influence. I don’t know.
One capacity that can be considered supernatural because it’s pretty cool, is empathy.
True Empaths are able to connect to anything well defined enough, and feel it, accurately, both on the emotional and the sensory level.
