PROBLEMS OF THE BUSINESS LEADER

As can be gleaned from my recent Q and A for business leaders,

Business leaders succumb to all manner of problems.

They have been conditioned by experts to believe that these problems are "business-related." Thus, they higher experts, business coaches, and advising teams to solve their "business-related problems."

The business leader who hires such experts, coaches, and teams has bought into various notions

Even before he hires such people.

HAPPY STORM

A recent interview between @andrewrsorkin and @elonmusk was brought to my attention. There is much to say about this interview. And I may (or may not) write more about it later.

This interview is a shining illustration of human conditioning, interpersonal human dynamics and so many other things.

WEALTH, SUCCESS, AND THE PURSUIT

Is there a benefit to being Wealthy and Successful.

There is a massive benefit.

The benefits are, in fact, innumerable.

However . . . Those benefits exist purely upon a material plane.

The benefits, thus,

Are all Material benefits.

FANCY TOWER UNIVERSITY

Employers have great respect

For fancy tower university.

The public has great regard

For fancy tower university. The student

Wishes to be a fancy tower university student.

Because it makes him feel special.

ADVICE

Humans enjoy giving advice.

Parent to child.

Friend to friend.

Spouse to spouse.

Person to strangers.

Author to reader.

Speaker to audience . . . Why shall anyone give advice

To anyone.

Particularly if it is unsolicited.

Why shall anyone give advice

To anyone.

Particularly if it is unsolicited. Of what value

Is advice.

THE PATH TO EFFECTIVENESS

A human seeks benefit for himself.

Existentially. Emotionally. Mentally. Professionally.

He desires for his pursuits to succeed.

He desires to lessen his suffering. If man's pursuits, be they in acquiring happiness, joy, money, freedom, success, peace or anything else,

Are based upon notions and foundations that are not True,

Suffering, disappointment, and failure

Are his only possibilities.

THE WORLD IS AN ENTERTAINMENT

All that is the world

Is an entertainment.

Books, media, podcasts, articles . . .

Made by entertainers

For those seeking entertainment. Why are books long and thick.

Because of anything and everything that has nothing to do with the core of the message.

The Inevitable Consequence Of Prescriptions

“Venerable sir, I have been practicing for 5 years and have gotten nowhere”

Teacher: Keep practicing

“Sir, it has now been 30 years and I have gotten nowhere”

Keep practicing

“I am now at the end of my life and have gotten nowhere” Meditation coach

Breathing coach

Sleeping coach

Walking coach

Mindfulness coach

Tooth brushing coach

Shampooing coach

Speaking coach

Yoga coach

Earwax cleaning coach . . .

THE FEAR OF MAN

He spoke openly

And stated,

“I do not want to be afraid.”

He did not want anything from this life.

Or anything in this life.

He simply wanted

To no longer be afraid. He did not wish

To face his fears.

He did not wish

To conquer his fears.

He did not want command

Or prowess.

He simply wanted

To no longer be afraid.

This is all he wanted

In this life.

BLIND AND CONDITIONED

Society creates the masses.

Then conditions them.

It creates form, principle, belief, and ideals

To condition them.

Then austerity, action, hack, method, and prescription

To imprison them. A prisoner will tend to the prison for all of his life.

He will not feel the need to question

Or walk away.

For the prison

Has become his home.

BUDDHA'S JOURNEY TO TRUTH

Siddhartha left the palace, shed his princely robes, and entered the Forest to find Enlightenment.

He was immediately met with "experts."

These experts were the ascetics.

Experts do the only thing they know how to do:

Give Prescriptions. Following their prescriptions . . .

He sat in meditation day and night.

He ate one grain of rice

Slept on nails

Drank his own urine

Throughout the annals of human history

There have been rare portrayals of Pure Truth.

One of these is rare jewels is Jianzhi Sengcan's, Hsin Hsin Ming.

Abstract and opaque, it cannot be understood by a prescription-seeking Mind. Truth creates a cataclysm within the human constitution.

It is like a quake that shakes the foundation of Mind.

The Hsin Hsin Ming is one such document.

Many have "lectured" about it, failing to see that it cannot be explained in such ways.

ON TRUTH AND NOT WASTING TIME

Human life is wasted to bits.

500 page books that could be reduced to a page, but which are Padded so that the spine is thick enough to accommodate the title. Articles that spend the first several paragraphs restating the obvious, and dilly-dallying in order to create a cheap and wholly ineffective "build up" toward an anemic, prescriptive, and worthless climax.

This is Not an offering to the world

Or an attempt to "help."

There are indeed a handful of Serious Humans living today.

Serious human with a burning question

Pledges a serious pledge

I will address his Question via email.

I do not know "when."

It will come when it arises. No follow up questions.

No debates.

No discussions.

No philosophy.

One response

Of Truth.

He may be Ready to hear it

He may not be.

It is what it is.

THIS ACCOUNT IS FOR THE SERIOUS

It is a mistake to believe that you Understand what the messages in this Account are truly saying.

Another may use the very same words, in the same order, and the meaning would be far off from the meaning intended here. There are but only so many words in the English language.

Overlap is inevitable.

THIS LITTLE CORNER OF THE UNIVERSE

As you come upon the messages in this little corner of the universe

Allow me simply to say that what you think I mean

Is invariably . . . miles from what is truly being said. You are viewing these messages through a societally-conditioned Mind.

There are a finite number of words in the English language

Therefore, the words stated here may overlap with those you have used.

Their meaning, however, does not.

THE TRUTH ABOUT PROFESSIONAL SPORTS TEAMS

The man who holds the greatest advantage,

Is the one who is least conditioned by his culture

Least attracted by his beliefs

And most attracted to what is True. Humans have become societal

Societal humans are conditioned to mimic and compete.

Where there is mimicry and competition,

There can only be Parity.

THE DEGRADATION OF MAN

Society has always been unfit for man.

It has now devolved to subhuman levels

Like an undercurrent, it has washed away the qualities of man.

The modern generation is the most degraded of generations

"Texting" has robbed it of the proper use of language Beginning email messages with "Hey,"

Using acronyms rather than full words

Using two words as a stand-in for a full sentence.

All things devolve.

Humans have hit their lowest point in human history

Even lower than the days in which they hung suspected "witches"

For those Serious

About moving away from the evils of Prescription.

For those Genuine

About lifting the veil that has forever blinded them from the Truth.

I will set aside this moment in time

To push your boat toward The Great Ocean of Truth.

You may ask

If you are Sincere Perhaps it would be wise

To read the message above

Before penning a question.

A lasered focus

Creates fire.

THE TRUTH ABOUT BECOMING A TRUE PIONEER

A quote from the magnificent film, Moneyball:

"It's a problem that you think we need to explain ourselves. Don't! To anyone. I'm going to see this through, for better or worse." In order to become a true pioneer, a man is either All-In

Or he isn't.
