Phase 2: Cleaning rumble and rebuilding
So far, the idea has been this: We find out what’s wrong in our lives, we change it. It’s not always so easy to find out just what is wrong. With Reverse Reasoning and our Personal Philosophy Profile, we have a pretty good idea of the area’s of our psyche that need a little help to let true joy and happiness come through.
Changing wrong ideas and behaviors can be dramatic and have great positive effects. However, as we saw in [Mind Web], we need to neutralize up the outliers, clean out the residue, or we will be vulnerable to similar bad thoughts and behaviors in the future. Our mind-web will be corrupted, its valence will change back to negative, and the solemn cracked bricks will break down our new foundation. Our temple needs to be rebuilt from scratch.
Feeling better isn’t the same as getting better. Feeling better can be done in a mere moment, with a sole realization – getting better is a long process, full of peaks and valleys, which will get progressively even as the surface flattens. To get better, we need to kill the root of the web. We need to find the primary and secondary silent assumptions that caused it to be turn negative in the first place.
On the 1st tier are our primary domain N.C.’s, e.g. “I am worthless.” On the second tier, we may have things like “I need to be loved to be worthwhile.” Though it is true that changing the first tier permanently will deter any future negative thoughts in that domain, it is very difficult to turn this realization into an emotional reality – that can take years. The second tier, however, is very changeable, and very quickly does your defense against it become automatic. In due time, you will only need some maintenance to keep your temple in peak condition.
We will build your temple with a new personal philosophy – one that is both positive and self-enhancing. We will call this new template for a better you your Personal Philosophy Profile (P3).
