I observe people, I observe you. I observe your behavior, I observe your emotional state. Here is what I see with most of you:
You don’t trust anyone. You don’t trust me.
You also think that you don’t need a teacher, you have been so disappointed.
You are going to try it on your own.
You read my articles… sorry, precisely said: you misread my articles. Your actions therefore will be misdirected.
This article is from 2014…
Often anything can kick you into the horizontal plane . I got kicked into it… the horizontal plane, and now I am working my way off… it is not that easy. I can’t even connect to muscle test… the horizontal plane is sticky. It wants you, all of you. It eats your life for breakfast.
Let me explain: Humanity (you!) lives on the horizontal plane at this stage of evolution. It is both the starting point and the end state…
On the horizontal plane everything is about comparison. More, better, different…
The good old days…
I want what they have, because I don’t have it… and I want it.
We live in a “fix-it” culture. Doctors, chiropractors, coaches, husbands, parents (especially mothers) are all about fixing what’s wrong with you. No wonder that you relate to everything that is going on with you as something to fix.
What is part of the “fix-it” culture, and is hidden behind it, but gives it the context, is that what is going on is INTOLERABLE, and MUST BE FIXED.
It feels like an imperative… like a straightjacket.
What is the problem with fixing stuff?
Let’s look at the action of fixing from a different point of view: what is your cone of vision when you are looking to fix something?
Narrow.
Happiness is a function of accepting what is. Life is like this weird rose… doesn’t look the way it should… orderly, smooth, safe, winning, beautiful, etc… Hard to accept, hard to even tolerate… Right?
What is accepting what is?
Accepting is saying yes to. You could also say: when you are accepting something, you give it permission to be exactly the way it is, and not be what it isn’t.
There is no “it should be different”, and there is no “it should not be” or “should not be the way it is.”
Don’t believe your press… It will get you stuck, or even destroy you.
In my observation most people who go bankrupt, or lose their job, or get demoted, are surprised… they believed their high, the press, will last forever.
Follows my observations of people believing their press.
Please note: I am not judging, I am observing and assessing… Judgment is not what I do…

You need to do your own thinking. Why? Because that is what it means to be human. Don’t know how? You are not alone. Schools don’t teach thinking, because it cannot be standardized, and because a thinker cannot be controlled as sheep.
Here are some methods of thinking, in bold strokes:
One would think that if you sit by yourself and use the mind to reshuffle all the information you have consciously or unconsciously gathered, then you can do effective thinking, an maybe some people can, although the methods of doing this kind of thinking require a lot of writing.
How do you know that you are slipping onto the horizontal plane… the plane of the valley of the shadow of death? hell…
It is on the vertical plane where you can say: A is A. Fully accepting reality, resisting none of it. Having no need to hide from it, changing it, wishing it away.
Reality is the way it is. You are a guest to it… and like a guest, you’ll find that it is not the way YOU would run the show… and that is OK. The show goes the way the show goes.
If you add anything, out loud or in your head or in your feelings… then A is not A, and you are not on the vertical. You are on the horizontal plane, where A is not A, where reality’s rules are resisted, and where you can only be unhappy, forcing your will, or resign to never have what you want.
For decades I had thinning hair.
When I looked in the mirror, there was a balding circle on my skull… The size of two of my palms.

I had an insight today that will open up a can of worms…
I have had issues with my weight since age 9. I have found effective ways to manage my weight, apart from starving myself (I did that for about 15 years too…), one of them involves a breathing technique.
I did that method for about three years, first to reduce my weight and then to maintain it, without having to change my diet.
It worked like gangbusters… and I was surprised to hear that the originator of the method was sued, in a class action suit, that the method didn’t work.
She lost the suit, and paid millions in restitution.
The Money Game One can get caught up in the “money game” on any levels of income. You can even get hooked in its tangles before you make any decision about what to do with your life… as in inherited from your parents, or getting hooked on the perks money gave you through stuff your parents bought you.
No matter when and how you got hooked, you can unhook yourself and be financially free.
What does “financially free” mean?
Summary: In our hurry to be hip, to know more, to get some semblance of control over our lives we have lost what gives life meaning and texture, the context that is timeless and true: the pursuit of mastery. We have now whole generations of flunkies…
In the olden days people had the following choices in life:
become a master of some trade
become a master of some knowledge
become a flunky
