Your truth? Your gut?

When you hear something over and over, it becomes a truth whether it has any substance to it or not.

If you believe something is self evident (I don't need proof) and that belief pushes down, blames or assigns "bad" to other people. Don't be surprised if others will test you - because it's not self evident.

Magic job

 It's not really how good you are at your job, it's how other people feel resolved during and after working with you. Resolved doesn't always feel good, it's accepting to move on.

I've been wrestling with the idea of lying to clients to get this result... Here's Seth's advice


The empathy of magic

To do the trick for them, not to them.

One truth can be right and wrong

 "Out of sight, out of mind"

"Distance makes the heart grow fonder"

I've always enjoyed the mirror of wisdom...


It's understanding the why and the neuance that can make both counterpoints correct.

"Absence extinguishes minor passions but increases great ones. Just as the wind can blow out a candle but fan a fire."

Names aren't important right? Right?!

Names are funny because they actually don't matter that much, like a bad name isn't bad, a good name isn't good... BUT a great name is great, it does something very special. Most names aren't special, the content is and that makes the name great. A great name doesn't make the content good. But a great name can do what's called a "pattern interruptor" which means our system 1 unconcious thinking is shut off for a moment while our system 2 conciseness pays attention due to its perceived importance or relevance.

ALL of arguments, disagreements and judgement come from

and 

2 You're different to me (and I don't get it or I don't like it).
