Genius Tour June 14, 2013 Meir Ezra
Meir Ezra
WOWed all of us. His presentation was filled with so many golden nuggets of
information, splattered with exercises of both the mind and body, as well as
some pretty funny dirty jokes in his rather strong and charming Israeli accent.
When he comes to town again (he LOVES Hawaii!!), please go. [Update: Meir will
be teaching again on August 17 and 18 at the Hyatt Place. To sign up, go to
TheGenius Tour and choose Hawaii.]
Here are the notes that I took
from this intense 2 day seminar. Most of them are standalone ideas that deserve
time to absorb:
What do you expect from the
seminar? If you don’t know what you expect, how will you know that you arrived
there? We must define what we want.
Essence of genius is
simplicity. Know the definition of words.
A professional is one who
thinks it is simple.
What is truth? Exact time,
place, form and event. Does not contain continuation. A Lie is the opposite
time, place, form and event, and continues.
People are ethically good. We
are the worst judge of ourselves, so when we do something bad, we feel bad.
When we do something good, we feel good.
Must understand the mind –
everything you deal with are minds.
How do you find a purpose, how
do you find what your purpose is? It is your Fuel of the soul. What is your purpose?
Write down your purpose. Look up the definition of purpose.
Ideas are conveyed by
sentences. Sentences are conveyed by words or symbols. If you do not understand
the sentence it is because there is a word or words that you do not know in the
sentence. If you do not understand the sentences, you will not get the idea.
Your IQ is defined by the number of WRONG words you know. Increase the number
of words that you do know, and you increase your IQ.
People become criminal because
of the number of words that they don’t understand. A good man comes across a
word or symbol that he does not understand, which causes confusion, which
causes sins.
Once you go past a
misunderstood word without figuring out what it means, your understanding goes
away. The more words you do not understand, the stupider you become. Learn
definitions of words from the dictionary.
The first dictionary was
written by Webster in order to empower people to understand words so they have
power and cannot be cheated.
Ethics – ability of the individual
to uphold the moral code.
Justice – when an individual
violates the moral code, the group puts force to get the individual to be
ethical.
Moral code – a set of
standards, laws, or rules that we hold ourselves to, based on our own group
consensus.
If you have a problem, look at
all the data of the problem in order to find a solution. For a problem to be a
problem, it must contain a lie. If something becomes complex, it contains a
lie. Find the lie and you will solve the problem. Simple brings the result
immediately. (Task: change IX to 6 using just one continuous line *see solution
at end)
An authority is someone who
knows good P.R. Look at their result, by their actions, you can judge how they
are.
Insanity is not being there –
being in the past when you need to be in the present.
Spirit – this thing that
knows. We need to clear false data.
Love is the flow of admiration
and sympathy. Love is very close to hate, flipping very fast. Love can be used
to control and cage. Use love to take the person to full potential, not cage or
control.
The view point that you take
defines your life. If you think you can, you can. If you think you cannot, you
cannot. 99% of the people do not try, are not willing to show up.
Clever = ability to recognize
truth. Smallest number in the universe is 2 = force, counterforce.
Greatness is ability to
continue to love man despite all invitation to do otherwise. If you can
continue to love them, no sorrow or pain. Handle the spirit, not the physical.
BREAK – after we came back,
Meir had us do exercises – squat against wall, push ups for men
Prerequisite for success is to
become unserious, charging toward your purpose and be sure of your success.
Success is ability to experience motion, as well as the ability to control
motion.
What is seriousness – when
interest is intense because of penalty. Attention is stuck in the past. I
better do that or else something will happen. When you are serious, you get
slow and stuck on what you do not want – one always gets what his attention is on.
You get what you validate. Look at the problem from an unserious point of view.
Child rearing. If they are
doing something bad, ignore it (non validation). Every child has a job that
they have to do – it is an agreement that they help – more than just chores, it
is their job and responsibility.
Let your children make their
own decisions in order to complete their jobs.
Competence is the ability to
do what you do when you are doing it.
Any area where you are serious
about you are also incompetent. The past influences your present behavior to
such a degree that if you are not aware of it, you cannot control it. A being
causes his own feeling. Smile when you feel lousy. Force yourself to be the
cause. After an impact you make a decsion – a resolution to act in a certain
way “I will never do that again” = no-no because you have taken away your free
will.
Whenever we do something
wrong, rather than find or make excuses of why we did that wrong deed, just be
able to admit that we are wrong.
Serious people are not serious
because of what is happening now, but because of what happened in the past. To
combat, look at data in front of you, not what happened. Evaluate with what is
in front of you – look at everything as “interesting”.
When you are serious about
something in your life, you fail. Measure by statistics, not by feelings.
When you make a decision, you
feel better. Crisis is a moment of decision. People never lose their ability,
what you lose is your willingness. Easy to ignite the willingness by igniting your
purpose.
The less decisive you are the
more emotionally bankrupt you are. Stress is the sum of all indecisions.
