Guidance, oracle… the final interpretation is up to you

It’s Tuesday and Rob Brezsny’s syndicated horoscopes landed in my inbox.

I read mine, and my blood turned cold.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In the coming weeks, you might want to read the last few pages of a book before you decide to actually dive in and devour the whole thing. I also suggest you take what I just said as a useful metaphor to apply in other areas. In general, it might be wise to surmise the probable outcomes of games, adventures, and experiments before you get totally involved. Try this fun exercise: Imagine you are a psychic prophet as you evaluate the long-range prospects of any influences that are vying to play a role in your future.
Fear. Fear that I am working on something that is going to turn out not what I want.

Very scary… in spite of the fact that I experiment all the time. That I rarely make a binding commitment to any path until it is already bringing its results.

I don’t set goals… and don’t commit to outcomes.

And yet, the fear was paralyzingly strong…

Are you using your attention? Attention: a strong physical energy that can move mountains

When people come to a session to learn to connect to Source, the first hurdle they need to go through is to find their attention.

Attention is physical. Attention is not mind, not brain, not your eyes.

Seeing something doesn’t mean your attention is there.
Hearing something doesn’t mean your attention is there.
When you feel something, it doesn’t mean your attention is there.

Your life story is like a black hole. Your Bach profile

Your tendency is to remember the story. Not what happened but your story. And to tell the story in a predictable manner… always the same way, always showing you in the same role, the same exact way.

A story is a narrative of reality. It talks from one particular vantage point, and therefore it is distorted. Always. Inherently so.

Your tendency is to remember the story in a way that agrees with your soul correction.

Soul correction, it could be said, is this slant of reality that lets you get away with murder, lies, laziness, blaming, simply said: being less than giving your best.

My story can be summed up with three elements: a hero succeeding in the face of incredible odds, and also complaining: “no matter what I do… I can’t this or that”. And the third: I don’t know if I can trust myself.

Almost succeeding, but never doing things long enough, hard enough, to actually succeed. Why? Because it would kill the story.

Also, I need enemies. I need disease. I need bugs… to fight heroically and almost succeed.

Are You Jinxing Your Success By Sharing About It? Or It is Expressing Gratitude?

Are You Jinxing Your Success By Sharing About It?

There is a curious phenomenon, that sounds really counter intuitive. It also sounds counter to the teachings of teachers that teach how to become prosperous, etc.

The phenomenon is as follows:

You have a little bit of success. You tell everyone about it. You write home about it. You celebrate. Then you watch as it dissipates, fizzles out, goes away. Flash in the pan.

I have been observing it for 26 years. The pull of sharing of a success that is a step in the right direction is irresistible. I know it is a death sentence, and yet I still make the same mistake, and it stops the flow, every time, no fail.

What is it like to be an empath and connect to you?

That I have never been asked, so I am volunteering the answer: What it feels like to intentionally connect to someone through their picture, so I can measure stuff about them?

I get to be paid ‘the big bucks’ because connecting to most anyone is like going under the knife without anaesthesia. It hurts. It’s jarring. It is painful. And then, with some people, the pain doesn’t go away.

So first I am feeling my own feelings of being violated.

What is your Self, your Dharma? Can you find it? Can you define yourself?

I have been doing a lot of work while I seemingly do nothing… or not much.

Something is driving me…

I used to say it this way: “I can’t do no other”…

Anna Karenina Principle

The principle says: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
It is the principle of the strait and narrow… Strait is another word for narrow… it is not straight… as in a straight line.

The principle applies, or can be applied, to all human endeavors, money, integrity, enlightenment, health… And yet almost every human I know goes the other way: looking for good ideas to add.

The principle simply said: avoiding/eliminating/abandoning what doesn’t take you there is the fastest way to get to the strait and narrow.

Case Study: David R. Hawkins, Muscle Testing and Other Mysteries of The Universe

Muscle Testing and Other Mysteries of The Universe

I have a guru friend who calls me on my birthday. And I call him on his birthday. So we speak twice a year, every year.

His birthday is in December.

As usual, he asked questions about me and my work. He wanted to know how I have the numbers that I have. I told him about muscle testing… and then I said: let me see if you can trust your muscle-testing to tell you the truth.

Being a winner: is it a matter of luck? What is luck anyway?

Before I do the webinar on inventing being a winner, it would be useful, wouldn’t you say, to distinguish what is winning, what is a winner, so you can choose to be that, or not.

So, I have been looking at everything through this distinction for the past few days, and I am starting to see things.

I have found that the difference between winning or not winning, oftentimes can be seen in the difference in attention.

Bug Free Mind: No mind vs. Mindfulness

Andy teaches a technique to get to no mind. It was easy for me… but I doubt that it’s easy for you.

When you are a “normal” human: living more than 70% of the time in your mind, repeating the same mental processes day in and day out, when you relate to the world through the mind, when you don’t spend any time in the present moment, then getting into no-mind is beyond you.

The best you can do is enter an illusion.
