Spiritual Evolution
Here's is one of the comments to a recent blog...."But how to evolve spiritually when you think about losing your job and an insecure future "
There is a beauty to what you ask. Whatever you worry about tells you what you need to work on to evolve spitually. Let me give you an example. I realized recently that I had been a "victim" on a con artist and I became both angry and anxious. However, from a spititual evolution viewpoint, it was great. The very feelings that were coming up were what I need to work on.
I ran my thoughts about the person involved through an elaborate releasing program. And when I was totally clear about him (no thoughts of angry; no victimization; no wanting control; etc) then I was ready to take any necessary action, but only when I was totally clear.
Your feelings of insecurity create just that insecurity. Work on them until security is no longer and issue. Then you'll be ready for the next issue. And what's really great about trading (or poker) is that issues continually come up.
And how do you clear these issues. We'll that's covered in the Peak Performance Course, but if you are not a trader, then I'd recommend doing A Course In Miracles (which is available in German). Hope that helps.

Not sure who said this but: "Many things need to be seen in order to be beleived. Most things need to be beleived in order to be seen."

A Course in Miracles ! Never do that ...
This is typical New Age, and hurt my christian (catholic) faith.
Van I'd really prefer you to orient us towards a good NLP course...
NLP can help clear and free your mind, at another level than faith in God or faith in any humanism. But I very doubt New Age does that.
The reason why I say that is that New Age is an attempt to find God (the alterity per excellence) in you. How can you find the Other in you ? In you you may find yourself, which is already great (few people do the work...), but you'll miss something, and how then can your hapiness be fully complete ?
My faith is that God is more than me, and he is not just a message but also a person, Father=Creator, Son=Human, Spirit=Message, Energy etc. He/She is so much more than I am...
I really enjoy many of Van's thoughts, and would appreciate an advice towards good, sound and helpfull NLP ...

Dear Van,
dear people,
that's a fascinating discussion. I am really astonished that there are similarities between A Course in Miracles and the Peak Performance Course for traders. This makes me really curious about this Course and this unusual book which is actually sleeping on my book shelf.
Actually, I never found access to NLP. Probably, it's like that: everybody needs another gate to develop personally. We can be happy that we have so many opportunities today.
Nevertheless, NLP and Trading is an interesting issue. As far as I know, NLP covers better communicaton between people. In trading you have your money, the charts and yourself, no other people around.
Best greetings to all

Long-term unemployment and insecurity did wonders for my spiritual identity.
