Why An Activator Cannot Change Your Behavior, Only You Can?
What happens when you get an activator downloaded to you? Even though the activator (a set of statements that are worded as commands, and are very similar to affirmations) alters the “terrain” or the balance of power in the sub-conscious, those affirmations will not alter your behavior.
What will alter your behavior?
One of the crucial steps in the 67 steps, is Step 26. the belts and suspenders step is a step that has been paying me dividends for years now.
It began when I first listened it.
The 67 steps is full of principles that can impregnate you, give you seeds that can germinate into something substantial. With you being fertile ground, with you nurturing it till it can grow on its own. Become ‘mother’ of principles.
In my humble opinion the best way to use the 67 steps is to have one thing… one purpose to listening to it.
If you are an integrated person (if not, ‘integrated’ could be your one thing!) then the principle of ‘the rising tide lifts all boats’ applies: your one thing makes all areas of life rise together.
In my case, the one thing was to reclaim my independence, reclaim my power over circumstances, even though circumstances were nasty… won’t go into any detail.
Circumstances haven’t changed. I have. I became a lot healthier, I became a lot happier, while I grew myself to meet life head-on. And while my goal isn’t reached yet, the quality of my life has risen beyond my wildest expectations.
As you may be able to see, doing the 67 steps without having someone to talk it over is very treacherous… and I almost guarantee won’t produce the kinds of results you are capable of producing. this is why my 67 steps coaching is so useful… It helps you identify the one thing, and it helps you make every principle in the 67 steps raise all of your life, regardless what your one thing is.
I know many people who have listened to all 67 audios, and… nothing changed.
Because it is what you do, what you decide and do tiny step after tiny step in your life, that turns it around, not the listening. And what you’ll do will depend on your listening. HOW you listen. What is the context inside which you listen. Your one thing.
The principle of belts and suspenders is a revolutionary concept: with services, resources essential to survival, don’t rely on one source only. Most nightmares are a result of violating this principle.
You may be locked in to a relationship where you can be used, abused, taken advantage of… because without it your pants fall… it is a belt, and you don’t also have a suspender.
For me it was my transportation to grocery shopping and the chiropractor.
Both essential, you’ve got to eat, and you’ve got to be well, right?

After publishing the previous article on feeling lethargic, I had an insight:
Given that 30% of humanity is plagued with mite infestation, microscopic biting mites, you are always bothered.
You can’t sleep through the night, because almost every night there is a 2-hour period when eggs hatch into worms… worms that cause itching, or when hungry mites hatch, and they bite and crawl their way to your head and ears to start their adult lives, to mate, to lay eggs, that will start the cycle in about 22-26 hours.
I know you don’t want to hear it, but eventually you’ll have to hear it.
I take pride to spend my life with what I can do, instead of worrying about what other people have done to me.
This is what one of the abused children, now adult, said in a British police drama.
The first Osho book I have ever read, was Maturity. I started to read it in the store, and fell in love with it.
It echoed one of my favorite Landmark courses, the Wisdom Course.
In that course, maturity was a state (they call it possibility, just a Landmark word!): where you were using adult capacities to live your life.
One would think that when you are an adult you use your adult capacities, but that is not the case.
What Is More Important: Who You Are Or Your Reaction To Who You Say You Are?
This is a tricky question, so don’t just shoot from the hip and leave (like you always do)… let me show you something that you probably didn’t know.
I have been perturbed, I mean really bothered by the fact, that although everyone got the same activator download, the results are so different.
Some people thrive, soar, produce unpredictable and unprecedented results.
Some people didn’t see any changes.
The purveyors of hope
When “picking” a state of being, an attitude, a mindset, conventional wisdom can be detrimental to our well-being.
Unless you are a prisoner in a concentration camp, and what’s predictable is that you will not make it out alive, hope is a very bad-for-you state to pick. But even there, unless it gives you actions that keep you alive longer, that make you take care of yourself, hope as a being, hopeful is the right word, will be just a feeling… and you know how it is with feelings: they come and go at their own accord: you can’t control feelings. Hope and hopeless are the two sides of the same coin. Being doesn’t have a flip side.

Is ADD and ADHD a nature or nurture phenomenon? There is a surprising answer: we compare American and French children with regards to ADD…
Based on an article by Marilyn Wedge, Ph.D. “Why French Kids Don’t Have ADHD? French children don’t need medications to control their behavior.”
First off: what is ADD and ADHD?
Attention deficit disorder is a symptom. According to Dr. Daniel Amen, when an ADD/ADHD person wants to concentrate, at a certain point their prefrontal cortex shuts down… much like your computer crashes when you overload it.
Turning points: I want to get really good at this!
As an Expanding Human Being, you NEVER arrive… Expanding Human Being is not a destination, it is a relationship to Life. An attitude. Learned to the level where it is undistinguishable from inner nature.
I am an Expanding Human Being, sometimes I grow like a weed, sometimes, for months, I languish… hibernate.
With regards to growing my business, I have been a wannabe forever. Trying this and trying that, but never actually doing it.
About five minutes ago I heard myself whispering to myself: “I want to be really good at this!” meaning a business growing method I bought almost two years ago, but abandoned it because I didn’t quite had the energy to even understand how to use it properly.
I am republishing this article, because distinguishing is the most missing thing for humans at this day and age.
When I test people in the starting point measurement, the number that relates to this is the clarity score: how many words they can use accurately. I won’t explain why they are connected… just know that when you can’t hear and can’t see, your clarity is about the same as a blind person’s… with an ear muff…
It’s a rare opportunity to go from innocent infant to all-seeing adult, being able to observe it at the same time.
When I first did the Landmark Forum, the koan of the session was: for you everything is the same as everything else, except that not always.
When you are an infant, for you everything is the same as everything else… no distinctions. No distinction between your body and the environment. You are just as ready to suck on your feet as you are ready to suck on someone else’s finger.
From time to time you’ll see something strange, like you reach out, as always, and your hands remain empty: the object you reach for is out of reach…
You learn the world, your world, slowly, and experientially. Through seeing, hearing, touching, tasting… like a baby.
