WizDumb

You are trying to understand the most complex organ that God ever constructed.

I once trained for the very first type of Computer Controlled Telephone Exchange to appear in the UK. We were at the hardware level, manually single-clock stepping through the program. It was a year of a very hard slog. A month of training in a classroom followed by a month’s ‘hands-on’ experience with the hardware. At the end of the year, I had a very rudimentary concept of how this thing worked. Exchanges used to have a life of 40-odd years. In just 5 short years, this Exchange was going to be replaced by a much more sophisticated exchange (System X) that checked itself, and issued fault reports to a central fault station. Once a flood, an engineer would visit the exchange and replace a faulty components card that the exchange had identified itself as requiring a replacement. I was out of a job.

The human brain is a thousand times more complex than a System X Telephone Exchange, and yet you reckon you know how to fix it?

Stop kidding yourself. With the Three Principles, we see very definite improvements in mental health and altered lifestyles. We see many miraculous recoveries by people who had seen conventional psychiatrists who had said, “You will be better in 5 years, no over-optimistic, maybe 10 years… Maybe you come twice a week instead of just once.”

Sydney would have impressed upon you that the words he used were but metaPHors. IN FACT, he urged audiences NOT to listen to them. How strange! People had travelled thousands of miles in some cases to hear him speak, and here he was saying, “Do not listen to me.” He told them a big secret.

“LOOK BEYOND THE WORDS, LOOK INSIDE, WHAT YOU SEEK IS A FEELING.”

It is such a secret that no one fully understood what he meant BECAUSE THEY TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT TO THEMSELVES AND THEN TO OTHERS.

You interpret a metaPHor you do not explain it.

Analysis has to go. Replaced by Intuition, Faith, Courage, and the need to ditch being a follower and become a leader of yourself. To stand, or fall on your own two feet.

WizDumb is about changing your habitual behaviour. Ask some people a question, and their first instinct is to try to recall from memory a recollection of a similar question being posed before. Most of us do not like being stumped or made to look foolish, so the next instinct (if there was an incomplete answer in memory) is to try to answer the question without knowing completely what the answer really is. Our answer is, of course, part fact and part fiction.

When we get really desperate and know that we know absolutely nothing about what is being asked, our thought is, “Ask someone who does know!” and that is a very good thought. But if you don’t know, how the hell do you know that they know? TRUST is a big word here. If we TRUST someone, then we believe them. Here is a question. How many people are there in your life that you fully TRUST?

What if you actually trusted yourself?

What if you have a weird 6th sense that actually makes you feel good when you have it right and makes you feel bad when you have it wrong?

At this point, I am just asking questions to get you to look inside and see what you observe. This is something that you may not have done for a long, long time. If fact, the last time you did was probably when you were a child. Adults were scary beings and your so called friends?

Triggers: – It only needs one thought to get through to the unconscious MIND for you to see things very differently. You “see” things by following a feeling. I describe that feeling as HOME. What triggers this thought? Does that get through? everything and anything. So, I am going to put some thoughts on here, and who knows? One of these metaphors may be just the thing that kick-starts your understanding of the three principles. Don’t try to work any of the see images out. This is not a mind game or semantics. Just observe and look inside.

For me, there is only ever one insight. That’s the one when we find the feeling. That one insight is like a key or a switch that gives you the ability to observe all the others that you “see”. They are for you, and you should take them personally. They are tailor-made. They don’t fit anyone else. Other people that have insights, theirs are for them and not you. Now, some insights are so general they are for public consumption. Syd dubbed these universal. Either way, you don’t need to share insights, IMHO. The ones we all need, we all have. The ones that are personal you have in your confidential file. So, if we don’t share our insights, what do we share? life experiences. This happened, and this is how i dealt with it. I saw this. I heard that. I felt this. I smelt this. it tasted… Bearing in mind, we all see, smell, Taste, touch, and hear things differently. I will not be offended if people disagree; we grow more in getting it wrong than in getting it right. We should never be afraid to try. I often get it wrong that’s why I love wizdumb. I don’t know anyone who gets everything right, the first time, every time. Also, I cannot believe the frail ego thing. Amir Karkouti is authentic; what you see is what you get.
