Changing the future: the challenge is on the seed level! Updated

Changing your future: what is the challenge on the seed level? (originally published in 2011)

In the last article I have set up the issue: you need to know where you are and you need to decide where you are heading if you want a future by design.

To actually get there, you need to design your path, you need to have the skills and the knowledge and the decision making ability and willingness.

But that is just the surface: you need to change your undertow, the underworld, the root of your world, on the seed level.

If I told you that your life, your projects are like a tree. They are designed to bear a certain fruit… and what that fruit is comes from the seed level. And the seed level tells the seed what type of roots to develop…. But

Routines, coherence, vacations, and your success… what is the connection?

One of my students is displaced because of brush and forest fires.

He is asking about routines and resting. And if adaptability and awareness is enough to compensate for the loss of routines.

I can hear as the coin drops for me…

I have been pondering for years what is the cause of loss of vibration, loss of coherence with holidays, vacations, long weekends.

Maybe we just hit on paydirt.

I have found that orderly living results in an increased level of coherence.

For those of you that don’t know: coherence means: nerve endings fire in unison… not at randomly.

Six horses working in unison can move mountains. Six horses all insisting on going at their own innate rhythm won’t even move a cart on wheels.

You, your life, your energies, your family, your teams can be coherent or can be incoherent.

We could also see coherent as smooth.

About Quantum Jumping… again


Quantum Jumping

Quantum Jumping is a technique. Burt Goldman calls it a visualization technique, but I call it a connect to all-of-it, a confer with all-of-it technique. A technique to ask a question of an alternative self of yourself, that has chosen a different path than the one you are on… a more rewarding path. I don’t believe in the subconscious mind… by the way.

There are three good things about this program:

All the current methods you use won’t give you what you want

Sometimes I have the good fortune to watch other business people bet on something and not get the result they hoped to get.

Most of the time you have no idea what someone wants… so this is a gift.

Life isn’t a series of winning bets… Life is a series of losing bets that teach you something if you are willing to learn.

The Majority Is Always Wrong Or How Are Movies Used To Dumb You Down

I am a movie buff.

When I was 19, question #40 was ‘movies’ on my high school final exam (in Hungary). I’d always loved movies but I didn’t think I could talk about movies in general, so the day before the oral exams I read a book by a Hungarian filmmaker on movie making. I pulled question #40 at the orals.

After 40 minutes the 3 examiners said that they loved what I said so much that they would want me to talk more, but there were other students waiting…

That statement made my relationship with movies even stronger.

The dumbing down of the planet: the law of attraction conspiracy Updated

What if the law of attraction is just another way to keep you duped, unthinking, unproductive, and a slave?
Just think with me, please:

I am going to filter the Law of Attraction through my own life, my own experiences instead of giving you made-up examples, ok?

OK, let us track this “conspiracy” I call “the law of attraction” from now on backwards.

Question: who is attracted to the law of attraction? The one that has self-confidence or the one without?

I just distinguished something about humility: Humility and growth mindset are synonymous.

Lack of humility and fixed mindset are also synonymous.

From time to time I run experiments where I work with one student beyond what they pay for, to test out a methodology I hope will be instructive and will work for most students.

Most people have a fixed mindset.

What does fixed mindset have to do with skills?

Unfortunately a whole lot. Why unfortunately? Because if you have fixed mindset, you somehow, magically, think that skills are innate and you don’t have to learn them.

But neither knowledge, nor skills are innate: humans were designed to be shaped by their own actions primarily. That means: your genetic heritage counts about 10% of who you are, and 90% comes from environmental influences, including your own efforts, attitudes, and actions.

One will say: bummer. Another will say: thank god.

And both will be right…

If you have low integrity, your communication has no power

Without integrity you can’t communicate…
You can talk, but your word has no power. It doesn’t get things done.

Communication is making things happen… making what you intend to happen happen.

Communication is having people want to do what you want them to do. Anything less is not communication. It is merely talking.

I have been having suicidal thoughts… What does the echo say?

Sometimes having someone to talk to, someone who can listen, instead of trying to solve your problems, is the best thing that can happen to you.

But there are things that are hard to share.

And then, if you are the one who is supposed to be there for others, no one expects you to have problems, or to be there for you. You are alone, and that is that.

All my life I have been the strong one, and no one ever expected me to need them to listen to me. So when I needed someone to listen, I had to pay them. It’s expensive. And now I don’t even trust anyone to just listen… so it’s tough.

Never Give Up Who You Are For A We…

Never give up who you are for a we…

I am watching a French movie. I am in the middle, and the music has changed. It is talking about impending doom. My brave, independent, innocent heroine fell for another and I am weeping for her.

I feel that it can lead to no good to give up who we are. Even if we are not anybody special, anybody talented, anybody important.
