Every single second there are literally millions of bits of information hitting your senses. How many can your conscious mind perceive? About 40. Bits. That means, that out of all the noise that’s flying around you, all the time, all the sounds, sights, smells, physical sensations, your brain has got to quickly (in about half […]
Unlimited Wants
Everybody wants something. As soon as we get it? We want something else. This is human nature. It’s not wrong, it’s not evil. If we were content to sit around with the bare minimum of sustenance and shelter, we’d never have evolved past the ape stage. Those big burly silver back gorillas? All they really […]
Compared To Whom?
Comparison is essential. We do it all the time without even knowing it. Even sitting there, reading this now, you’re subconscious is busily comparing your state now, including all your thoughts, feelings, etc, to what it might be should you make slight changes in your posture or how you’re sitting. If it comes up with […]
Watch The Be
Try this out next time you’re speaking about yourself, either to somebody else or to yourself. Avoid using the “be” verb. This is like a verbal equals sign. Like when you say, “I am happy,” you’re telling yourself that your entire being, your history, your beliefs, your experiences, “equals” the adjective, “happy.” Not so bad, […]
Find Commonalities To Skyrocket Persuasion and Seduction
In Japan, the Chinese character used for Monday is the moon. For Sunday, it’s the Sun. Pretty coincidental, right? After all, the English word for Monday is based on the moon as well, and that dates back to ancient times. Also, consider dragons. The idea of a big, fire breathing reptile exists in both Western […]
Change Meaning About Meaning For A Different Perspective
Most of us have emotions about emotions. And they work at lightening speed. Before we are even aware of it. For example, you’re flipping something in a frying pan, and you miss, and it lands on the floor. (This happened to me last night lol). First you get pissed. Then you get upset about being […]
Be Careful What You Pick Up
Once there was this hiker, out for an afternoon stroll. He was up hiking in the mountains, and was moving along a pretty good clip. He got up over the tree line, and noticed that the temperature had dropped considerably. He zipped up his jacket, went for a while longer, and then decided to head […]
Embrace The Shadow For Less Resistance And More Success
Have you ever heard of something called “cognitive dissonance”? It’s one of those things about human nature that makes us feel “smart” when we understand it, and even “smarter” when we identify it in other people. People on various forums are always pointing out how “other people” are “suffering” from some kind of “cognitive dissonance” […]
Create Success Like A Sex Crazed Caveman
I love reading books about evolution, and primitive behavior. I always like reading how scientists are figuring out what we did back in the day and how it relates to how we behave today. See, humans change very, very slowly. Most of our instincts, desires, and natural born skills center around a hunter / gatherer […]
What Just Happened?
It’s been said that there’s three types of people in the world. One group makes things happen. Another group watches things happen. The vast majority of us stand back and say, “what just happened?” Everybody has the same basic needs. We want food, shelter, stuff, companionship. These are very vague descriptions. The pursuit of them […]
