#Internal #Conflict: 2020-05-09

Internal conflicts are between the should-not-be and the should-be.

1. When you identify with just one side (should-not-be or should-be), you have made the conflict unresolvable because you now have to die for the other side to win.

2. When you identify with just one side (should-not-be or should-be), you protect and reward your side with covering, denying, excusing, hiding, rationalizing, and reframing.

3. When you identify with both the should-not-be and the should-be, you have made the conflict the essential thing in your life because now you are trying to kill yourself so that only one side of you remains.

4. The solution is don’t identify with either side, but keep your self neutral so that your self can support the side that your self believes should win.

5. When you detach from the conflict, you move into a neutral space from which you can observe and monitor the conflict while choosing to influence the outcome based on reason and virtue.

#Magic #Practice: 2020-05-06

1. Feeling your feelings is not a magical cure for anything.

2. Expecting people to cope with feelings they are already struggling with just because you tell them to is condescending, naive, and self-righteous.

3. Not evaluating, accepting, and understanding the coping level of the client demonstrates a lack of empathy, competence, and skill on the part of the therapist.

4. Therapists who do not initially encourage and promote the learning of new coping skills and the transfer of current coping skills to current problems need to go back to school.

5. Experiencing your feelings is a better way to live; however, people are not born with emotional coping-skills, and some feelings are dangerous and destructive if not handled properly.

#No-ting #Should-Not: 2020-04-24

3. When you think something will-not-be what it should-be, then you do not accept the future, are in conflict with the future, want to control what you cannot control, make the future appear worse than it might be, often whine and blame, and increase and spread emotional stress.

4. Coping with the past, present, and future always begins with acceptance (it is what it is), and then moves on to problem-solving, fixing, and planning what you have or can get the authority and power to improve, fix, or prepare for.

5. Look out for any no-ting (should-not) because no-ting is anti-reality and will keep you sidetracked from productively improving what you can improve, moving on to new experiences, planing for the future, and proactively preparing for problems.


#Practice #Habit: 2020-04-23

1. You practiced your bad habits, and now you can practice good habits to replace them.

1. Situations do not create feelings; however, situations (stimuli) can trigger our survival instincts so that we have feelings (emotions) such as fear.

2. Situations do not create feelings; however, our bodies can respond to situations (stimuli) so that we have feelings (emotions) such as feeling hurt about having physical pain.

#Confidence #Trust: 2020-04-19

1. Self-confidence is a misnomer; you want to have confidence in Virtue or Energy, not self because the self can only reflect doing.

2. Self-efficacy is self-confidence applied to a specific task; however, it is still wrong because the confidence should be in God, not the self except as a reflector.

3. Positive thinking is a way to speak about having confidence in Virtue or Energy, but it is often mistakenly turned into magical thinking and self-deification.

4. Optimism and enthusiasm are also ways to approach having confidence in God to do tasks; however, ego often takes the credit after the fact, but never during the execution, because that would cause failure.

5. The point is to realize the limitations of the self and to praise God for what is done even if those around you are building up their ego (self-esteem) with false claims before and after something is accomplished through them by God.


#No-ting #Shoulding: 2020-04-18

1. You will fail when your mind is on losing-the-game and on not-losing-the-game because both are losing positions.

4. When your focus is on not being a failure (I should not be a failure), then you are working to produce and perfect a failure.

1. Duality is a delusion because every duality exists inside a triality.

2. Duality is misleading because it ignores the necessary neutral position that exists along with every set of opposites.

3. Duality leads to false conflicts because it fails to recognize the middle ground that triality makes self-evident.

4. Duality is not needed for comparisons because comparisons can be made between both related and similar things.

#Meditation #Acceptance: 2020-04-16

2. When you meditate, don’t fight thoughts that interfere with your concentration; instead, pay attention to your attention and where it goes.

3. When you meditate, don’t resist distractions from noises that interfere with your focus; instead, listen to them until they cease or you naturally focus on something else.

2. You can always recall and replay a wrong.

1. How did it come to pass that your self-talk is centered around your imaginary playmate (self-concept, self-image, “I”)?

2. How did it come to pass that you spend your time worrying about your imaginary friends and enemies (self-concepts, self-images, I-statements)?

4. How did it come to pass that your conscience is about imaginary personalities supposedly doing everything that you do (self-concepts, self-images, I-statements)?

5. How did it come to pass that your goals, plans, and predictions are about imaginary characters inhabiting your inner universe (self-concepts, self-images, I-statements)?


#Error #Mistake: 2020-04-11

1. There is no “I” that can be found guilty for a mistake; however, there is a style of thinking that can and should be found guilty for leading to that mistake.

2. To engage in a witch hunt for a self-construct or “I” that caused an error or mistake to occur is to engage in an absurd, foolish, and time-wasting process.

3. To condemn some self-concept, self-image, or “I” for an error or mistake is to condemn a ghost for something that they cannot be aware of.

4. To condemn some self-concept, self-image, or “I” for an error or mistake is to condemn an imaginary being that has nothing to do with any of your errors or mistakes.

5. To condemn and punish some self-concept, self-image, or “I” for an error or mistake might satisfy a need to punish, feel superior to oneself, release a dualistic conflict, or some other pathological-psychological process, but it contributes nothing to problem-solving or preventing future errors or mistakes.


#Limitation #Dichotomy: 2020-04-10

1. The seductive power of the opposites blinds us to the concomitant realities that exist side by side with our dualities no matter how overarching we imagine our dualities to be, for example, integral versus non-integral wipes out everything else.

2. The “subject and object” view of life is correct; however, this view does not include the greater part of life, which cannot fit into the categories of subject and object.

3. The war of the rational versus the irrational is a false war because both positions require their opposite to exist (symbiosis) while simultaneously leaving out other viable systems of inquiry.

4. The war of order versus chaos is a false war because both require the other (synergy) while simultaneously leaving out the impact of other forces that are ignored or unrecognized, such as creativity and virtue.

5. People reject dualities that they do not like and embrace dualities that they do like; however, there are higher levels of thinking such as trialities, the five thinking positions (5TP), continuum thinking, and continuum-thinking squared.

#Faith #Waiting: 2020-04-08

1. Waiting is greater than surrender because waiting subsumes surrender.

3. Waiting is greater than faith because waiting requires that you already have strong faith.

4. Waiting is greater than hope because waiting requires that you already have strong hope.
