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
The Genius 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.
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.
Cycle
of action = Start, Change, Stop.
When
you start something, you also need to have closure. Exercise = make a list of
ALL the open cycles that we have in our life. Do a target list with closure
date, and take one or two a day. Stress is only the sum of all your open
cycles.
