The Commandment: Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
Some people are connected, yet they teach Tree of Knowledge stuff.
One such historical figure was Rabbi Akiva Ben Joseph. He was a Rabbinic sage. There is always one rabbinic sage in any generation in an area… he was active in Jerusalem. A rabbinic sage is a thought leader.
Rabbi Akiva was connected to source. He connected deeply and long. But he taught from the knowledge of the world.
The attitude of submission, dutifulness, and the death of individual and the death of joy
Part of the enslavement process that has been going on for thousands of years, you are robbed of your sense of free will, and your joy.
The chicken coop doesn’t want you to enjoy anything… or more precisely, it separates enjoyment as a special thing on special occasions, not your natural state. Same with happiness.
But the truth is: your natural state is joy. Enjoying the body, the movement, breathing, eating, working: everything.
One of my challenges is to re-awaken, to liberate that capacity that society is hellbent to suppress.

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.

An entrepreneur is someone who takes their lives in their own hands…
…instead of expecting someone else to do most of what is needed for them: give them a job, a livelihood, tell them what to do, what to think, etc.

If meaning makes the difference between a life worth living or not, why is it that don’t you create a meaning that makes life worth living?
You can’t, you won’t… but why? Let me muscle test!
You lack intellectual capacity? 30%
You don’t have the spiritual capacity to see the big picture in width and it time? 90%
You lack the willingness to be responsible, willingness to cause the context. 100%
You lack the courage to cause the context, or pretty much anything… 100%
Being a sheep means lack of courage, lack of vision, lack of responsibility
Stuck energy. Stinginess.
Can you change? Yes. How? Through activating spiritual capacities with practices that need that capacity.
Without meaning YOU create, life is not worth living, is a struggle, and you suffer.

I know the word sharing gets thrown around in these emails quite a bit. Sometimes we become numb to the word. To get back to basics, sharing means giving something of ourselves.
It can be sharing with someone we’re not used to sharing with. It can be opening up with someone we’re not used to opening up to. It can be calling someone with whom we’re holding a grudge and wishing them well and saying something nice, some words of wisdom. It can be anything. It just has to be an unconditional stretch.
As a certified est-hole and Landmark junkie, I have heard the urging “Share, share share.”
In Landmark they mean “Bring more chumps like you so that Landmark can become a World Class Organization, here to stay.” They mean: do our selling for us. No please, or anything… Maybe they don’t, but that is how it lands for people.
In multilevel marketing companies (network marketing, MLM) they say the same thing, but mean, definitely, selling.

Here is an article that has truth in it, but not the whole truth. The article is a typical psychological take on a human condition… and is incomplete.
Here is an example of what a 7% truth value is, and what is missing to make it acceptable… and no, a 7% truth value is not acceptable.
I am going to attempt to add some of my own discoveries… to bring it up to a higher, hopefully much higher level of truth value…
First: read the article. I felt horrible reading it, because it made me feel bad about myself. Not many people consider me good company… so I definitely don’t qualify to being the type of person everyone wants to know.
At the same time my fixed mindset is only 7%… so what’s going on?
I’ll explain after the article… but first read it, OK?

Most pebbles are buried under many layers: have you found yours? Are you afraid that you are stupid?
We go back in time, find the incident that is the most likely that created your pebble: your key to survival, and yet, the emotions don’t respond.
How do we know that we got to the “real” pebble, not a coverup, not a fake to distract us from revealing the whole mechanism, but the real one, the one that makes you a puppet on a string, never winning, never achieving competence, security, joy, happiness, and fulfillment that could be your birthright?
Last session (I am learning as we go… I didn’t come out of my father’s head with the knowledge, guys! If anyone claims they did, they are teaching you Tree of Knowledge stuff, not the real deal!) a few more people popped. Popping is what I call it when you get to the hidden treasure.
One of the distinctions from Wallace D. Wattles: The Science of Getting Rich is called “The Creative Plane.”
Most of us, most of the time, live on the competitive plane.
The competitive plane has several aspects, and depending on your disposition, you’ll be able to counter some, while not be able or be willing to counter others.
The first aspect of the competitive plane is comparison. On the competitive plane you are always going some place, you are never where you are, the only concept you have from the here and now is that it’s not enough, not yet, not there yet, not the right place, not good enough, or wrong. Not the right thing, not the right place. That is the foundation of the competitive plane, and the result is misery… felt or not, when you operate in the competitive plane, you are miserable, always hungering, always yearning, always out of sorts..
‘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… 🙁
