How – We – Ouch

I teach family therapy.

At the beginning of class I write these three words on the board:

How – We – Ouch

How do we create the pain?
How to we maintain the pain?
How do we heal the pain?

Thoughts?

Question?

I was sitting having coffee with some friends of mine after training. During the discussion I was asked about identity. I simply posed the question, name me something in your identity frame of reference that you didn’t initially learn from an outside source (either your family or society)?

Exactly!

An Aikikai cult?

Interesting opinions from someone I don’t know, never met or talked to, much less trained with.

IMHO, personally and professional, it sounds like more than the rice bowl is broken. Doesn’t it?

I am honored and humbled to be in such good company.

Seiser on NLP on YouTube

I did a talk for a friend on NLP (NeuroLinguistic Programming). They cut it down and offered this introduction on YouTube. Thought I’d share it with you.

User Illusion

Read my post on SeiserSays about User Illusion.

It suggests Identity Illusion.

Are we who we think we are? Are we who we choose to be? Or are we who we have been unconsciously subliminally been programmed to be?

Identity Illusion. I like that. Besides, when it comes down to it, identity is an illusion. Isn’t it?

“Here kitty kitty kitty”

I often feel like I am a blind man, in a dark room, looking for a black cat, that doesn’t really exist.

 

But I am determined to find that cat and make it live up to its full self-actualized enlightened catness. Better yet, to its full self-actualized enlightened perfect humanness. Whether it wants to or not.

 

I am further committed to utilized whatever means of judgment, punishment, rationalization, or denial available to make its past the way I want it to be, to make its present world the way I want it to be, and to make its future totally happy and successful, free from any obstacles or difficulties, just the way I want it to be. Further, I will use techniques that have already always failed and always will, but I will use them harder and more until they do work.

 

Darn cat.
