Our Own Workings

We are all the workings of our minds. We are the result of our own actions, not the actions created by an external being, spirit, creator or external power. What we are now, and what we are and will experience is due to the law of cause and effect or karma. 

In a nutshell, karma means that we reap what we sow. Our life is in our own hands. Anything that happens to us is created and caused by ourselves, and not by external power.  And everything starts with our mind. What we think, we materialize. This is called seed planting or karma. 

The law of karma applies to all beings, whether human or not. Dinosaurs fought with each other millions of years ago and they not only killed the earth, they also killed themselves. Based on this understanding, if we humans fight and kill each other, we will end up extinct as the dinosaurs.

From the concept that we are responsible for our own actions, we can change to improve our life. For example, if you are not happy with your current state of wealth, you can do something to improve it and not wait for some miracles or external power to help you. 

When humans pray to an external force or statue, they are actually not praying but making requests for inspiration and wisdom.  Chanting are just rhythmic and continuous requests for inspiration and wisdom. So the more you pray, the more inspired and wise you become.

If Not You, Who Else?

"Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...
