168 DSR – Class Envy & Sex

July 17, 2014 — Leave a comment

Why do you use sex and money as tools to get what you want?

No matter how bad it gets, I’ll always have money.
Always be able to attract a mate.
Always be able to make up for mistakes.

No matter how bad it gets, I’ll always have sex.
If it gets bad, you can always have sex and forget about your problems.

Challenge:
Next time you’re tempted to use money or sex to get what you want, try to think of another way.
It’ll make you far more resourceful in the long run.

Fact: When you “borrow” money from a bank, the bank doesn’t have the money. You are literally creating the money when you sign the Promissory Note. And they’ve convinced you to pay back your money PLUS interest. What does this mean to you?

 Tammy from AK replied: “Well if the devil danced in empty pockets, he’d have a ball in mine. Makes me ambivalent.”

1) What is floating?

2) I’ve heard there’s more than one way to float. Please explain.

3) John Lilly, the float tank’s inventor, said floating could possibly become a “crutch program.” In your opinion, what did he mean?
