Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Alexander Laszlo, on air from January 12th
My “why” that brings me alive and into service of life and the world. I want to learn how to human well. It appears to me that we, as a species, are not humaning very well at present. What does it mean to be a true expression of the universe, to express our full cosmic potential? This is my quest, which is captured in my forthcoming book, Syntony Sense: Evolutionary Intuition for World Changers. Of course, the real joy is in humaning well together. If you’ve ever seen a murmuration of starlings, whirling with exquisite grace and unity in the evening sky, you can imagine what it would be like to dance this way with all of creation, from moment to moment.
Here’s a blog article (https://medium.com/@Alex8er/practices-that-ensoul-the-cosmos-) and a journal article (Living_Systems_Seeing_Systems_Being_Systems_Learning_tobe_the_systemswewish_to_see_in_the_world) that capture the essence of this quest and provide some guidance for others who may be similarly questing. In terms of who I am, I would describe myself as a researcher, professor, martial artist, punster. Expressions of Ubuntu and empathy fascinate me so I study them at the nexus of holistic being, transcendent consciousness, and curated emergence. My work focuses on the praxis of evolutionary systems design (ESD), systemic innovation for thrivability, and syntony as an organizing force in social evolution. I am also is President of the Bertalanffy Center for the Study of Systems Science (BCSSS), Research Director at the Laszlo Institute of New Paradigm Research (LINPR), Global Ambassador of Global Education Futures (GEF), and author of over a hundred publications in journals, books, and encyclopedias on systems design and social ecosystems.
My name is Alexander Laszlo (Dr. or Professor, if you want to be formal) but generally, I go by Alexander (not Alex). My best professional eMail address is alexander.laszlo@bcsss.org (? the Bertalanffy Center).

‘An Authors Kiss’ with Sara Troy and her guest Sam Hawksmoor, on air from January 12th
WE FEEL YOUR PAIN – So You Don’t Have To.
You don’t have to live with pain. For years Doctors have ignored the underlying causes of pain – prescribing opioids and other painkillers that often lead to complications, or addiction, leaving a patient in a far worse situation. At the Jirdasham Institute, we will strive to take your pain away forever, with a drug-free treatment that really works. We make no claims about curing cancer or healing rheumatics. Our Jirdasham method is not a ‘cure’, but we promise to remove your pain and let you get on with living again. Can’t live with pain? Get rid of it. FOREVER
The CASE: Delaney and Asha run the Office of City Oversight. Their role is to expose the scams, keep Berg City safe from unscrupulous contractors. When something looks too good to be true – it’s a scam, right? But what if the scam works? What kind of scam is that?
308 complaints about Jirdasham are suddenly withdrawn. It gets Delaney’s interest. When he meets Mr Abrams, owner of the last bookshop in the city, he learns he paid thirty grand to the Jirdasham Institute to be rid of his pain. Seems it worked – for a month. Delaney knows something about this stinks, but what exactly? As the contract says – any pain after that is ‘new’ pain and caveat emptor.
When Delaney finds himself left for dead at the bottom of a cliff he knows that something really dark is going on here. Would you pay $30,000 bucks to get rid of your pain? You would? Then this scam is for you.
QUANTUM SPIRITUALITY with Sara Troy and her guest Joanne Derbolowsky, on air from January 5th 2021.
Embracing Change with Self-Knowledge and Kindness
In a world where uncertainty has become a constant, stepping into the unknown with confidence begins with knowing which foot to lead with. And for that, you must first know yourself. The deeper your self-awareness, the easier it becomes to release limiting patterns and shed old baggage that no longer serves you.
Self-discovery is the key to reinvention, allowing you to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience. As the saying goes, nothing stays the same—or as wisdom reminds us, this too shall pass. By detaching from the temporary, we free ourselves from unnecessary burdens and open the door to greater happiness and peace.
And in this journey, let’s not forget the power of kindness—to ourselves and to others. Life is filled with challenges, but the more we extend understanding and compassion, the lighter the load becomes for everyone. Small acts of kindness ripple outward, creating a world that is not only easier to navigate but also richer in connection and meaning.

With another year of managing my hedge fund coming to a close and the business still not profitable (i.e., we are not able to pay employees market salaries while also funding all the infrastructure costs of a hedge fund from legal to auditing to fund administration, etc.), I decided to go to a course entitled “Reignite.”
It sounded like just what I needed to get SaLaurMor to the next level in 2016.
All I had to do was get down to Orlando (frequent flyer miles helped there) and then the course was free except for just a $99 per night fee for the resort.
The description for the weekend was very enticing as well: “Learn how to re-ignite your finances, business, career and relationships. The weekend delivers change that lasts. We provide the real-life tools customized for your personal roadmap to getting results – so that you can live the life you choose.”
I decided to sign up for the session that started on December 18 and ran through December 20. I was positive it was going to get me ready for a 2016 that would be unparalleled.
There were people from all over Florida, but very few from outside the state. It was the last few days before Christmas and if you hadn’t completed your shopping these were the days that most do it. So, I was surprised to find almost 200 people in our “classroom” on Friday, December 18th.
Day two and Day three were very powerful with team building exercises. The one that really caused my “A-ha” moment was the one which was called “Obstacles are Illusions.”
We were each given a wooden board about two and a half inches thick; eight inches long and five inches wide. Imagine everyone’s horror as we had to fill out “permission slips.”
Robert spent at least forty-five minutes explaining how the holder was to hold the board with his hands covered with protective gloves and the “breaker” was to shift his weight forward but only use his palm outstretched. We practiced setting up and shifting our weight and ending up beyond where the holder was holding the piece of wood. Wow, this was really scary. Is it possible to break your wrist? Remember, “hesitation = pain?”
We had to literally break it in half with our hand.
On one side, we wrote our biggest obstacle and on the other side we wrote our goal.
I wrote down my biggest obstacle was raising enough money for SaLaurMor Capital to be wildly profitable.
On the other side, I wrote my goal: “Making everyone in this room financially free.”
Wow!
Writing that and saying that made me feel so good. I was being of service to others.
What did Robert say success was? “Success is not a thing; it is more a feeling. You feel complete and you feel successful in your relationship or business.”
I also realized that my objective and my goal were non-sequiturs. The objective of raising enough money for SaLaurMor Capital had nothing to do with “making everyone in the room financially free.”
At this course and a few others I have been to over the years, I have found that when the speaker starts talking about stocks and stock options, especially, they explain it in such a way as to make it seem that you can make a lot of money in options but the risk is very limited or not at all. I’ve heard statements such as these:
“Options have unlimited upside.”
“You can trade them anywhere.”
“You have very little up-front or start-up costs.”
“It requires very little time.”
“Options are where the rich make their money.”
While, many of these statements are true, it is also true that options do have significant risks and if you buy an option you can lose your whole investment and if you sell an option you can lose a lot more than your whole premium. And I’m not sure how many of the rich have used stock options alone to make their money.
So, the other thing that happened at that course that I went to in December 2015 was that other attendees started to ask me questions about stocks and stock options after our guest speaker on options had finished his introductory tutorial.
I realized that recommendations to invest in securities without knowing key information about the attendees including their risk tolerance, net worth, earnings, cash flow, and knowledge was inappropriate. And I felt that this part of the presentation was not authentic and potentially misleading.
Many attendees asked me if stock options were essentially riskless (see JoelSalomon.com for a discussion on stock options for my obvious answer). Some felt that they could make multiples of their investment—using leverage. That is certainly true; however, no one discussed the risk of losing their whole investment, which is also possible.
What I realized from all these discussions was that education was essential and I could do a really good job of helping others and being of service to them based on my long history in the insurance and investment industry.
Knowing the limited amount of information that most individuals had on investments and the lack of information many have about their own situation, the possibility to help others seemed to be quite large to me. I felt an obligation to help the people in the course and realized there must be many other courses like these that could be hugely beneficial and educational to potential investors, and to help people achieve financial freedom.
I came home from the course and realized that my mission in life was not investing institutional and high-net worth individuals’ money.
I could have continued on investing this money, but it didn’t feel right. I could have been a super successful hedge fund manager. But what did I do?
I didn’t sleep the night I came home from the course as the wooden board—actually one half of the wooden board—stared at me all night: “Make everyone in this room financially free.”
I went into my office that Monday morning and informed my investors I was planning on shutting down my hedge fund. This was a major decision that is hard to make a reader understand. A dream that I thought was “right” for twenty years was really not my true purpose in life. I know that may sound a bit cliché, but it is true.
This huge decision to shut down my company came quickly. It was my “higher self” telling me “truth.” I knew that trusting this decision was the right thing to do. Remember this was the company I longed to start for years. It was the company I had so much difficulty finding investors for in 2012 and 2013. Remember I had two employees I was paying salaries and benefits. Two people who relied on my good judgment. I had two daughters that relied on my cash flow generation for their child support. And of course, I had all the service providers who had supported me unconditionally (though some may say they were more than fairly compensated for their efforts) for almost four years. Was I throwing this all away based on a “whim?”
No!
I began with a simple question:
Is investing my true purpose on earth?
Am I supposed to be helping ultra-high-net worth individuals and companies become super-wealthy or am I supposed to be of service to those in need?
Am I supposed to help those who can really gain by my knowledge and experience?
Am I supposed to help those who can gain not only from my financial acumen but also from my knowledge that everything depends on your thoughts and if you can “act as if,” you can indeed achieve what you ask for?
When I informed my investors that I was going to return their money because I wanted to align my mission with my career, I did not receive significant push back. This indicated to me that I was on the right track…

Sara’s View of Life with Saras Troy, on air from January 5th
Yes, we had a very tremulous 2020, but it was also a year of reflection and reviewing for renewing. A time to know what we don’t want, what is really important and where we really need to put our energies. A time for seeding possibilities and seeking opportunities, a time of gratitude and a positive attitude.
I was very busy doing shows on serving to the needs of covid pivoting, and reflecting those redirects for us all to embrace during these times, and very successfully with so many awesome generous people who led us the way. What I wanted to achieve in 2020 was put on hold. That is ok, everything has its time, and it only endorsed what I really wanted to do even more. So 2021 with seeds planted, and now a time of watering, nurturing and growing those intentions into 2021 completion.
So this is my year of Actionisim, not more talking, planning, but acting on it and making it happen. I have over the years ventured into many alignments, but they have not always been cohesive, but, from the past, a friend of 11 years, asked if we could align our platforms as we are travelling the same vibrational road. So now we look to merging our wondrous platforms and invite the world to travel with us on this road of Self Discovery and our Metaphysical Energies into exploring our universal options in aligning our cosmic souls to our human beingness.
So my 3-year dream is about to come into being this year along with my co-piolet Shahiroz, together with our combined expertise, we will bring you new shows, new hosts, new Mentors, a new podcast-book platform and much more because we are bringing our energies into alignment to make it so.
We need a month or so to make the alignment, and then we will launch our togetherness. I will still be on Self Discovery Media and Community but also merged with The Metaphysical Hub.
So stay tuned folks, 2021 will be filled with possibilities and opportunities, wisdom and earthly knowledge and share with you the answers you need to embrace this year of new directions.
