If you, they don’t get it. A movie demonstrating paradigms

I have been talking, talking, and I don’t think I am being gotten.

I make people raise their hands on calls when they got what I said, and I can feel that they are lying, some of them, when they raise their hands.

Why? Because getting something is not the same as memorizing it.

So here is am, 720 articles and 50 weeks worth of webinars later. And as usual, I am playing freecell. Suddenly images from a movie I saw a few months ago start coming up in my mind. Bubbling up.

The movie is “Almost famous” and all the scenes star the actress of Fargo fame: Frances McDormand.

She is one of my favorite actresses. Why? Because her capacity to not give a hoot at how ridiculous she looks or sounds is so endearing, so empowering to me, I get courage and power for myself to look ridiculous and not care.

In this movie she goes beyond. And this is what this article is about.

I am not going to tell you the movie: I want you to watch it. But I’ll tell one piece: through her character, exasperating as it is, I have a clearer picture, suddenly, or where the people that are not getting it are.

Some of those people are my students. One of them has been with me since 2007, another one since mid-last year.

Why do I want you to watch Bob The Butler?

I watched Bob The Butler again yesterday.

I want all my clients to watch it to see some of themselves.

I love, have always loved that movie. There is something magical about it, regardless of its fantasy ending. But what?

After all Bob is a slob, a never do well, an uncoordinated big slab of a guy. He gets his vocational and relationship guidance from a hamster. Not who you want your students to be… would you?

And yet.

There is a big lie on my pages and I didn’t know

There has been a huge lie I’ve been repeating… unaware that it’s a lie.

I first heard it and have been repeating it from Robert Scheinfeld a long time ago.

The lie is subtle. It hides a fundamental truth behind itself, a truth I didn’t become aware until earlier this week. It promptly took the wind out of my sail, maybe forever.

What is a bigger threat than global warming?

Oxygen. Just google “air oxygen content historically” without the quotation marks, and be amazed how much you don’t know.

Humanity, life, evolved to a certain mix of conditions on Planet Earth, long long time ego. Billions of years? Long time.

Billions of dollars I may understand… 1-2-3 and I count to billions. But billions of years? So between 1 and 2 I have to wait a year? lol… I can’t fathom that. So a long long time ago is enough for me.

Would you be more successful in life with a higher IQ?

In the past few years I raised my available and useful IQ 75 points.

What did I do?

Listen up! Whoever you are, wherever you start, you can do it too!

When I muscletest people I find a marked difference between their innate IQ and their available IQ. Sometimes as much as 60 points.

Available IQ is what produces the results that you want.
Innate IQ may be the highest you can raise your available IQ.

What I have been seeing straddling life and death

How anyone has ever taught is wrong… and how it has lead to a humanity to being unhappy chasing happiness…

In this long and life threatening situation of mine, where I still can’t see the end of it… I have truly lived my invented purpose: ‘living on the edge, generating distinctions of transformation for humankind’.

No elbow room, no freedom to be… that is the ditch

We all live in a ditch-like space that gets deeper and maybe even narrower as we go along.

A ditch is like a tunnel except that it is open to the sky.

People don’t know they live in a ditch. Why? Because all they know is the ditch. It becomes everything because the only thing that would distinguish the ditch is ‘not-ditch’. But because a person in a ditch can only see what is in the ditch and the dirt that is its wall, ditch can’t be distinguished from the inside of it.

My job, in this article, is to cause you to SEE, aka distinguish your ditch so you can have more than just that in your life.

After I almost fell off the face of the planet…

After I almost fell off the face of the planet… people asked me: how can I help you? What can I do for you?

And until now I have answered: there is nothing you can do, thank you very much for offering.

But upon looking at my bank account balance, I decided to ask for something. Something like a win-win.

Not money… my philosophy is ‘if I didn’t earn I don’t eat’. But I learned something a long time ago, heard it again many times since. But unfortunately sometimes it takes 20-30 years to move on something.
