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,…

Lifting the Veil of the Past

As discussed in The Magnet of the Past the past can tether us, locking us in a viscious circle where we continue to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.  We relive the past and continue to project the past on the current moment, and envision it occuring out into our future – offering no escape.…

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 Dark Side of Positivity

Something has been on my mind recently, and it is an issues which needs to be addressed candidly.  What had been on my mind is the “law of attraction” and how much to my dismay it is destroying people’s lives.  People are expecting the world to provide them with what they want, simply by thinking…

Brain magic…and tricking the mind

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…

The Power of Fear & Disgust When Making Life Changes

There is a strong popensity to only focus on what we want (at least we generally desire to focus on the positive, even if we don’t do it), and not what digusts us.  Actually, that is not totally accurate, often we think about things that disgust us, but we use that thought process in the…

Experience vs. Memories

Memories and actual experience are often very different.  As this talk lays out, you may have a great experience, but if you somehow cloud it in a bad memory the good experience no longer exists, only a bad  memory.  On the other hand we can have a horrible experience, but if we choose to turn…

Social Anxiety Page Updated

First off, the site was given a new look.  A few of the catergories were amalgomated, but overall I think the format is easier to navigate than the last layout.  If you have any feedback on this let me know. Also, the Social Anxiety page has been updated.  At this time I have added a…

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…
