Self-Help, Negative Emotions, the Childifying of Western Society and What To Do About It

Self-Help, Negative Emotions, the Childifying of Western Society  and What To Do About It By Cory Mitchell It began as a movement to enlighten, to improve lives and fulfil the eternal quest so many of us have for “happiness,” yet the result has been the opposite. What has resulted is a society dominated by the inner child,…

The Magnet of the Past

What I find in front of me, and just out of reach, is only so because I am tethered to my past.  Past experiences, past emotions – good and bad.  Each experience and the emotion creates a moment in time, a spark that is more likely to be remembered because it has an emotional imprint…and…

The morning, afternoon and evening of our life…

“Thoroughly unprepared we take the step into the afternoon of life; worse still, we take this step with the false assumption that our truths and ideals will serve us as hitherto. But we cannot live the afternoon of life according to the programme of life’s morning; for what was great in the morning will be…

To Move Unshackled Into Tomorrow – Part 3

Part 2 left us with these these thoughts: For someone with social anxiety to accept their affliction and smile at a stranger is a small victory.  To not look away when someone smiles at them is another small victory and should be embraced.  If a comparison is made in that moment to the “alphas” in…

Loss Aversion and the Relation to Our Lives

Many of you may know that my actual profession is as a trader and financial market analyst.  Philosophy and  psychology are my other prominent interests, and the lines between these two areas of my life definitely intersect… often.  An example is the following article I sent to subscribers within my Vantage Point Trading Newsletter which…

Self-Revelation Through Someone Else’s Experience

This is probably the only thing I will ever say you need to listen to.  It is about an hour long, and in that time you experience the transformation of this one person…who I think we all will  identify with.  You can download the .mp3 here and listen to it at your leisure: http://www.byronkatie.com/2009/12/audio_i_cant_stand_my_best_fri_1.htm I know…

To Move Unshackled into Tomorrow-2

The first part of this series left us with these thoughts: Opt to express, to live. Not in the shadow of language used to disguise fear and motives we are ashamed of, but rather in honest interaction where we express, so that others can also express freely. In this way we create the highest order…

Life = Risk Video

Great little clip on what happens when you push through the discouraging moments.

Jill Bolte Taylor-An Amazing Video

This is a fantastic video. It is a presentation by Jill Bolte Taylor.  It is really quite interesting. Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor is a Harvard-trained and published neuroanatomist who experienced a severe hemorrhage in the left hemisphere of her brain in 1996. On the afternoon of this rare form of stroke (AVM), she could not…

To Move Unshackled Into Tomorrow-1

Yesterday I posted a video on the improvements that the world has seen through the eyes of statistics. It is true that many great things have been accomplished. The world has evolved and each of us along with it…but there is copious amounts of research that show the path of progress is leading to a…

To Live Inside a Passion…

It has been almost 4 months since I last posted on this site. For myself it was time to focus on the things that I had written about over the last several publications – life was waiting and over the last several months that had not included writing on these matters. I did write; I worked on a couple book projects and also focused on something which gives me great enjoyment, and that is trading.

The Woman – A Poem of Liberation

I have no idea why I wrote this, all I know is that I was supposed to. I don’t think I have written a poem in my life, and have never considered it my strong suit haha, but maybe this will hit a cord with whoever needed to hear it. If not, I guess it…
