This year I’m going to combine the information presented in my blogs with the data points presented in my YouTube talks each month and both are offered on the same website, wizardscache.com. Some concepts are brief but others require a lot of talking points. Many are complex and need to be approached from different angles to preserve their range of influence. For example, in this February video I discuss the issues with thinking in absolutes. That is the same concept as always defining yourself with your energy as 51% representing you; often referred to as being in present time. When your energy participation represents your interest (the presence of your influence) you are then in a good mindset to negotiate, learn, participate and even direct if needed. The goal is to be represented as part of events (experiences in a time constraint). When you get to contribute you start to expand your ranges of conscious awareness. In theory, this is the turning point when people start to work together instead of competing.
We humans still hold sacred (perception of value) our tribal roots which were at first just a large family group. Social economical markers still present a great influence on people’s range that define the concept or how and where they fit in. We support these concepts from team sports to national citizenship in competition. If we hope to someday become a global people working together to generate a better community on this planet, we need to prioritize teaching our young to allow everyone’s voice to count and not just the most confident, biggest or one that appears the smartest. I think we all recognize this fact and some of the work has been initiated. It needs to start in family.
And then there is complexity that is not perhaps conscious but bears an influence. For example, if someone were to ask me for directions (and I in fact know several ways to get to their destination) I might present them with the simplest path. I perhaps know a faster route but I’m being respectful of their knowledge of the territory. I’m not presenting them my preference but a route I know and don’t use. That second route is stored in what we refer to as an external reference. Not my reference stored as my internal routing for me.
Here is the interesting part. Imagine a child born to a family that, for whatever reason, was not in alignment with the family goals at that time. This could be gender, health, size, or any other imagined reason. In this case the child could “feel” the perhaps small and unconscious disregard and store this experience as an indication that they had a handicap, or were not smart or were ugly (none of this needs to be factual). Stored patterns in the first three years would not have any intellectual story attached. The influence would be small, but repeated such “feelings” would build on the influence. Never becoming conscious but an influence that may produce reactionary actions with no conscious reason to happen. These events get stored as subconscious (once they produce a story) and the behavior becomes redundant in life. Their internal concept of self could at times be less than 51% when acted on their own interest (but not as a defense). Often, they generate an external reference for an imagined different external self. There is nothing wrong with this process but their perception of self (because it is not attached to the life concept of “I am”) may at times not validate who they are and the external story does not direct acknowledgement back to them. Lots of really brilliant people are “loners” or don’t socialize much because of some configuration of the above. I have seen many variations of these types of patterns and have treated people struggling with severe forms of it. Most, however, manage well in life and find a way to overcome those early feelings that got stored but frequently misinterpreted. I recommend you make it a conscious step to be proud of all your achievements.

A question to find more questions in your meditations in February:
How do people determine what to let in and what to let bounce off?
I read around 50 science/philosophy books each year and pick one to recommend that would be relevant to our monthly blog/chat experience. This year check out Rachel Barr’s new book; How to Make Your Brain Your Best Friend. She is a neuroscientist and on the web as “Rachel the Neuroscientist” where she has over a million followers.
