Get Rid of Powerlessness Once and For All

I’ve written a number of different articles on the nature of mind manipulation which leads to lack of power, choice, decision, and overall an attitude of aimlessness in life.

I have met many young and middle aged people who asked me “I don’t know what my purpose in life is, what do you think it is?”

Now, think with me for a moment: they are asking me what is the purpose of their life! What’s that telling you? What is the presupposition here?

Alternatively they share with me with concern that they also don’t know what to do with their life. They don’t know what career to approach, of course they all suffer of lack of prosperity, satisfaction and under-achievement.

In other words capable and otherwise intelligent people seem totally lost. Without somebody to tell them what to do and where to go they don’t seem to be going anywhere. They wander aimlessly through life without a direction, without goals, wishes or desires. They do not have any passion for anything and are for all intents and purposes drained of creative life-force energy. They have passion for nothing. Passion as a feeling does not seem to exist anymore.

In this brief article, I want to sketch the basis of that lack.

Every major mind manipulation forced into limitations has the same concealed objective: control.

But control over what?

There are many possible answers depending on how abstract or how specific you want to be, but overall the basic answer is: “control over the mind”.

Why? Because if the mind’s thinking operations (in NLP we call this the Internal Representations) can be guided, changed, re-ordered, shrunken, and weakened, then it doesn’t matter what these people are trying to do to resist other types of control. The mind can lead to success or to failure or to, a bland life leading nowhere.

Inaction and indecisiveness is a form of control. Think of a small child. If s/he sits quietly on the couch there is no trouble. Otherwise the child may explore or invent a game that will make mom or dad go clean up the mess. Forget about the invaluable learning experience the child gets from exploring new territory and the healthy active energy of the child. A child sitting in front of the television for hours is not trouble. It does not require attention. It is inactive. It is passive therefore it has created his or her own control mechanism. Self-control through a bland non-creative mind. If you need panic disorder treatment to avoids places or situations where escape would be difficult if a panic attack occurs, visit www.renewedfreedomcenter.com for more information.

But a child who grows up like this does not have any judgment or critical thinking on his or her own. They are bound by asking for permission to even go to the bathroom. Without specific direction and permission they don’t know what to do. And so, they do nothing.

Imagine now this child growing up to become an adult. The body grows, the behavior remains. And then, when having to act or decide, they will always go down the wrong path. They will always operate within narrow, constrained and limited territory. They will always ignore their own power of initiative. They will have no creative spark. The spark of life generated by an awakened mind has been extinguished. They have become a little more than biological androids.

Purpose?

None.

Goals?

None.

Direction?

None.

Desire, passion, dreams?

,. You get the picture.

The power of the mind exceeds the “normal” and “mediocre” ability to perceive cause and effect as in “they did it to me, so I am screwed up for the rest of my life“. People in touch with it will never say “I am a victim of ______(insert here your favorite reason).” In spite of what happened to them, they pick themselves up and creatively find new solutions to overcome any difficulty. They are the winners. They become the leaders, the innovators, the ones envied by the rest for their great life.

What is not obvious is that all human beings have the capacity to change things at any time by changing their minds and re-training the mind the right way so as to become in charge again. If they know how! But most people don’t have any skills or clear and concise methods to do that.

I do not mean any of the fuzzy New Age concepts of surrendering to the universe, going with the flow, or the group-communitarian-fake-oneness-benevolently-restricted-models. That type of thinking leads to more passivity and do-nothingness.

A communitarian model can come only after each and every person has learned what it means to be an individual, to use their own minds positively and do the right thing out of volition and not out of coercion. That stage requires the capacity to think independently and at the same time be willing to work in a group with others for a common goal either as a leader or as a follower depending on circumstances. But that requires that person be perfectly capable of operating individually first. So the road to inter-dependence must first go through independence. Before independence all you have is is co-dependence.

Every human being has the capacity to act in ways that change the experience of life. It is not that complicated once you understand how your mind works. The degree to which an individual believes this is impossible shows the extend by which his or her mind is controlled in a narrowed-down-impossibility-mode of functioning.
