Movie Meaning https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Mar07_Post.mp4 The movie Black Swan was one of those movies that is open to interpretation.

Assembly Line https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/2022/22Feb21_Post.mp4 When I was a kid I watched a lot of “I Love Lucy.” A pretty funny TV show, even by today’s standards.

One Phrase To Rule Them All
Words And Thoughts https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Apr25_Post.mp4 The power of language is the other side of the power of thought.

The Myth Of History
What Really Happened? This will be a purposely confusing post. This won’t come to a specific point, rather we will be taking some common ideas and taking them apart to see just how flimsy they are. Looking at things from a different angle is very helpful, if only for the skill in doing so. You […]
How To Rig The Game Of Life
One of the cool things you learn in NLP is how to “reframe” meaning. This is a very useful skill to have, especially since most of the stuff that happens “outside” of us is open to interpretation. Say you’re walking down the street, and you smile at somebody, but they just look at you without […]
Wisdom From Dumbledore
There’s a cool line from the Harry Potter movies (and books if you’ve read them) regarding the difference between imagination and reality. (spoiler alert lol) There’s a scene where Harry is supposedly “dead” and while he’s dead, he’s talking to another character (Dumbledore) who’s also “dead.” Dumbledore gives Harry a bunch of wizard wisdom, and […]
