AND FREEDOM, ENERGY, AND THE QUALITY OF LIFE

CRAPPOLA PIPELINE FILLERS
(What if you cleaned these out? How free would you be then?)
I was so wronged as a child, by this person or that person.
Resentments
Current
Past
Protecting oneself
Having to be right, avoiding being wrong
Trying to "look good", impress others
Fear, worry
Trying to bolster fragile ego/confidence/selfesteem
Having to get approval, pleasing people
Need to be supported, rescued
Ongoing shoulds
I should be better, smarter, nicer, stronger
Others should be better, behave better, think better, agree with me
Trying to teach lessons to others,
Getting even
Treat me better, should know what is right for me
Anger
Confusion (tired, overwhelmed, unclear...)
Trying to pay attention to too many things at once (to dos, multiple tasking, people...)
Chasing "glittery objects", dispersed attention, distractions
Trying to control others
Body out of balance, trying to regain homeostasis (cravings, stress, tired, bad food...)
Mind out of balance, trying to regain homeostasis (worry, fear, stress, rushing, tired...)
Incompletions, "undecideds"
ALMOST ALL ARE UNNECESSARY AND ELIMINATABLE
If you read each line above, notice that
1. Any of the chronic conditions can be prevented,
2. All of the resentments and most of the fears, worries are faux-based (artificially constructed and not real).
3. Many are useless, ineffectual, and not necessary and won't much influence others!
4. Control through punishment, anger is ineffectual and/or harmful
5. Many are primitive or not needed once one leaves childhood.
Virtually all are based on false concepts and beliefs.
Yes, the human primitive mind must always be monitoring what is going on and doing its basic function to protect us for survival. That will take up some room, but not alot, as most of it is automatic.
But when we add things for the primitive mind to be concerned about and also add to our present thinking "concerns" that are not legitimate concerns, we waste our attention units and we waste our life and blow the quality of life - as it feels pretty crappy to be experiencing almost all of the above. Even "trying to look good" to others (even strangers!) is fear-based - but it does, in most cases, give no real benefit nor relieve fear per se, as it is based on faux fear.
WE WILL LESSEN THE SPACE TAKEN UP, IF WE DO THESE:
1. Learn about beliefs versus reality so that we are able to spot "faux fears" and to differentiate as to which real fears are really almost nothing - certainly nothing to waste our attention units on. (See The Fear Management Program.)
4. Learning what is ineffectual and eliminating those behaviors (and emotions).
5. Learning "straight thinking" (aka "Effective Thinking"). (The case can be made that this is the #1 thing to learn, as it facilitates understanding reality, facts, logic and coming to realistic conclusions, aka beliefs, and good decisions!)
Just do these, using this (or a modified order) as your reading/learning sequence.
