suffering comes from belief in thoughts... this video explains wall street fiasco and ecological mismanagement and pollution... based on ideas from Landmark educational seminar I attended
Landmark Education helps people to move past the "I don't wanna" instinct and illustrates how our identity is created inside a complaint. But in this review, I examine the education from a more spiritual perspective.
Live theater at a public happy hour (like "improv anywhere", but deep topics). Do you have any interest in joining me for a live webcast from the venue in midtown? I will be there Tuesdays and Thursdays March to mid April. If you are an actor, we'll have a script!
Rather than staged in a theater, this play in being covertly place during a live promotional event.
Many "Evolved" sorts resist Social media and the funnel system (what is often called funnel marketing). But before you back away, think about it - the funnel system is simply offering your ideas or products or services or workshops along a range of price points
1. This should (or should not) be happening to me!
2. Why is this happening to me?
3. I must take steps to make this happening stop, start, or continue in the future!
4. What can I learn from this to be a better person?
5. What does this say about human nature or the nature of reality?
6. How can I share the wisdom or emotional growth this experience is giving, with others?
1. Beige: You are not the mind or body
2. Purple: come to the present to erase guilt story or "karma" story/momentum
3. Red:you have nothing to surrender or achieve... that is Ego talk! the ego has those things, You are awareness.
4. Blue:The mind says something is wrong/needs improving - but it's not so.
We all want to know what is going on. What is life? What is the purpose? What is religion?
For a while now I've posted about chakras, energy, spiral dynamics, ken wilber, conspiracy, and illuminati - then this past week I have been tossing around the idea of ETHOS...
The mind seeks to be happy and this seeking itself is what makes it unhappy.
"Asking" how can I be satisfied is not being satisfied.
It is asking.
The fallacy is that asking "how can I be satisfied," brings the
answer, but it simply gives you
a reason why you
are not satisfied
with things as they are
right now.
I was once very involved with Evolver, but now I choose to post articles and videos on occasion. This thing is (like all things) what we decide it will be. I enjoy having a forum to post my crazy ideas and find that people derive benefit. What other place can you do that these days? :-)
Recently in the Ken Wilber meetup group we talked about Jung and Ken Wilber
There are two paths to enlightenment, either transcend it all by saying, I am "not this, not this." - the "male" way. The "female" way is to embody all.
Ken Wilber calls this Freedom vs. Fullness.
At integral (see Don Beck and Ken Wilber), perhaps we do both.
Many spiritual seekers get embrace the path because the want to stop feeling badly - or to feel better. Because turning on the lights in a room reveals all the dirt - the path can increase one's suffering. But what happens if we stop trying to manage the moods? What if "good," "bad," "profane," and "holy" are seen to be just thoughts? They lose their power when you stop judging them constantly.
In life we often feel compelled to defend ourselves. If not ourselves, we may need to defend another person, a belief, or a cause. This can lead us to be attached to an image of ourselves, and a need to maintain that image. This can all happen without us realizing its an image, and not who we truly are. But what is the purpose of that image?
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
