I Bet You Didn’t Know Einstein Was A Philosopher

Of all the things I’ve read and heard about Einstein, he was a deep thinker. In order to comprehend physics on his level, you pretty much would have to be a great thinker. Based upon the quote above, it’s obvious that Einstein thought about more than physics. He also thought about philosophy.

The interesting part is that his philosophical quote above is pretty much an equation. In order to solve a problem, one must increase their level of consciousness. There is a direct causal relationship. The higher your level of consciousness, the great chance you have of solving any given problem.

What Is Consciousness?

Consciousness is basically awareness. Awareness of a great many things. Your existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, actions, etc.. By being aware you have a better understanding of your environment.

There is a Navajo saying that roughly translates from the Navajo to: Walk in harmony in the universe by being aware of who you are. Notice how important awareness was to the Navajo people. They felt it was necessary to know yourself in order to live in harmony. That is absolutely one of my favorite sayings of all time.

Is Consciousness The Same Things As Being Awake?

Most people equate consciousness with being awake. They equate unconsciousness with being asleep, or knocked out. I believe that not all who are awake are conscious. Every day I see many people who walk through life without being the least bit aware of what goes on around them. They simply exist. They basically walk around on auto-pilot.

Why Aren’t People More Aware?

I believe it is being it is easier to go through life being unaware.

Carl Jung said: There is no coming to consciousness without pain. It is sometimes painful to be aware. If you are unaware, you are not aware of problems around you, so you don’t necessarily have to deal with them. Unfortunately, if you are unaware, you are also not aware of the opportunities around you.

So, if you want to increase your Achievement IQ^TM you must become more aware. You must become more conscious.

By becoming more conscious than most others:

you increase the likelihood you will position yourself to have the vision to see opportunities others do not see;

you will position yourself to attract opportunities others do not attract;

you will position yourself to be ready to act upon opportunities that others are not ready to act upon; and

you will position yourself to act upon opportunities that others let pass them by.

Are You A High AIQer?

If you are, you will realize that Achievement IQ^TM and the Laws of Positioning^TM combine to offer you just the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
