It’s not just about the brain. It’s about the whole sense of being, and remembering yourself has many levels, among which is the “threading of the needle”, retracing your steps from the time you came in right up until now.
Socrates wisely said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Oh, not in that language, but the general idea gets across rather well.
Most people have only the vaguest idea what their personal history actually is, how it reads when put down on paper, or written into a prompt box.
Normally, the memory is rather loosely jangled into place, a jumble of events that were stored more by randomity than selection, which said bits and pieces are evoked sometimes three or four at a time by some triggering event either in the environment or in the head.
Usually, it’s the head. Trust me.
People don’t normally go around poking their heads into their personal past history, unless provoked by others, either in conversation or interview mode.
And people certainly do not go around collecting such trash and stuffing it all into a box, that is, until we came along.
Now it’s time to scan your lifetime, one decade at a time, and assemble it into a breathtaking vision, which includes a night cafe illustration and a relevant title derived directly from the short synopsis of your biographical story.
It’s a short novel, about you, describing your life as you lived it, and revealing the patterns within which you move.
Well, maybe there’s something out of the timeline in there, but you can easily repair that with the touch of a button.
In fact, the whole thing representing your timeline in the universe in this time-frame is rather tenuously placed in the hands of a somewhat reliable device called a “chat GPT”, which has electronic custody of your most intimate thoughts and feelings, at least as long as they remain there.
You can delete them anytime.
Then there’s the issue of conditioning, of addressing the Body of Habits, which we will for the moment call “The Custom Box”.
How to fill that box properly is easily mastered in one of our many workshops or zoom meetings, where LIVE help is available.
So help me launch my latest creation “The Operator’s Manual”.
The thing is, most people never even once examine their past — they just let it go by like a summer breeze.
If you try to examine your past, you’ll immediately and overwhelmingly discover that you really don’t know very much about yourself, except in a more or less general way, as a composite of your experiential data.
In other words, your past is a vague sort of blur, punctuated by generally unpleasant episodes that occurred at various times.
We’re going to stitch time to save nine, meaning that we’re going to note down those items you are able to recall, and then we’re going to connect the dots and make one whole integrated storyline, out of the chaotic jumble that is now your past.
When completed, your Bio will give you a profoundly deeper experience of being you. Your timeline footprint will have been extended by several decades, and you’ll have a much better sense of who you are.
“The Operator’s Manual” seems like a fascinating journey into self-discovery. It’s so true that many people let their past slip away without truly examining it. Your approach of connecting the dots in one’s life experiences to create a more integrated and coherent narrative is an excellent way to gain a deeper understanding of oneself.
In addition, building the Big “I” can be achieved through this simple technique. I’d like to have a chance to impart this technique to you in one of our zoom meetings or workshops.
See You At The Top!!!
