It says it is 1%, as opposed to the 99% spiritual. Therefore if you do your job in the 1% reality, then the 99% reality will to its job. It is like putting in $1 to a self improvement fund, and your company would match it with 99. Good deal, isn&#8217;t it.<\/p>\n<p>It may be a good deal, but very few do it.<\/p>\n<p>Why?

Bummer.<\/p>\n<p>I am learning a &#8220;new&#8221; method of getting around fear method, called Kaizen.<\/p>\n<p>Kaizen is the tiny steps method. A step can be asking a question, can be saying something, or doing something unthreatening.<\/p>\n<p>Though no one says, the foundation of the Kaizen technique could be found in the 1%-99% Kabbalistic teaching.<\/p>\n<p>While Kaizen is designed to fool the fear (Satan?) by not waking it up to the thousand mile journey you are planning, it only knows about a tiny step, and it deems it insignificant. And the tiny steps come, one after the other, in a leisurely way, and Satan doesn&#8217;t wake up until you are thousands of miles into your journey.<\/p>\n<p>Each tiny step activates the divine, and makes it easier to get the 99% support.<\/p>\n<p>It goes so counter with the bombastic declaration, or big hairy goals that self improvement gurus preach. And it goes counter with Kabbalah.<\/p>\n<p>One place where you can learn about Kaizen is here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In matters of the spirit a little goes a long way.
