Toward a World that Works for Everyone
A cycle of conflict is a repetitive argument whose constituents are complaints that go ignored or otherwise unattended to. If serious enough and left undealt with, it can escalate in intensity while the feelings for one another may decrease proportionately, until the couple separates. It’s my current belief that, unless people find a way out […]
I lost my shoulder bag yesterday and was despondent and disappointed. So long as I was emotionally down, I wasn’t available to my mission. I was despondent because I had once again lost something with mission relevance: My driver’s license was in it; that had me worry about identity theft. At the same time I […]
I had a day from hell on the 11-11-11-11, (1) all caused by triggered vasanas, one after the other after the other. For that reason, the subject of vasanas (or core issues) has been very much on my mind. I’d like to look at one in particular today. I recall so many times over my […]
When tension increases, awareness decreases. The converse should also be true: When tension decreases, (1) awareness should increase. And so, in the midst of chaos, my awareness appears to be increasing. Having dropped Constant Comment, weathered the eruption of Humiliation that followed, (pant, pant) I notice that I have reached a place of … well, […]
Triggers just seem to keep going off. I have to be supervigilant not to launch into extreme thoughts and behavior. And not to then swing out onto the other extreme and super-protect myself from them, until the guardian again becomes the guard. (1) How to stay in the middle and yet be strong, resolute, determined? […]
There’s so much I want to say about the process I’ve just been through so things are not missed. The ideas are tumbling out. What I did was I processed a root vasana or core issue. Processing a vasana is the (wholesome) alternative to blaming and shouting at another person. Long ago I swore I […]
Having been reminded yesterday of the mind’s ability to divide itself into parts, sides, or voices, (1) I identified three persistent voices that were key in forming my everyday life experience. I’ll use Eric Berne’s terms for them: a child, parent, and adult ego or consciousness state. Berne explains: “‘That is your Parent’ means: ‘You […]
Having newly discovered, or re-discovered perhaps, my balanced adult, (1) I’m now having fun with it. I spilled a bottle of glue today while transferring it from one bottle to another. I enjoyed watching myself clean up the mess, moderately. I knew full well (without a barrier of resistance appearing) that I could restore the […]
Pre-scheduled I’m trying to get to the bottom of the Third-Dimensional practice of making ourselves right and others wrong. From my own experience, this practice is transcended when we find ourselves in the higher-dimensional love characteristic of the Fifth Dimension and higher. In the Third Dimension, our vibrations are too dense to bring that kind […]
I’ve traced this lack of compassion that I feel back to the crib. My arms were tied to the sides of the crib to stop me from scratching as a result of having excema. I was wheeled into the kitchen and left there all night no matter how much I cried. (1) I concluded that […]
I turned to enlightened Gestalt therapist John Enright to help me figure out how being right works. However I felt that some of the distinctions he made are so enjoyable and provocative that I decided to share them raw. John made it his his intention to find out what made Fritz Perls such a successful […]
