Advice 2

-
One day, the president of Toastmasters Club came to me to ask me to participate in the weekly meetings. I had stopped doing so after I finished 20 speeches. I had never felt comfortable with Toastmasters. It's not the public speaking that I have trouble with. It is the structure and advices that I have trouble with. I am curious and inquisitive. I prefer to be self-taught. I learn best by exploration and experimentation. I need a lot of freedom to explore and play. I prefer to be a free-range chicken rather than a penned up chicken. An environment that is highly structured and has many rules stifles my creativity and growth. The first Toastmasters meeting gave me that very restrictive feeling. I managed to stick to it for over a year. I don't think I can stick to it any more. The president of the club did not give me the freedom I needed. In fact, he did exactly the opposite. He said, I should do this and that. He said it's not fair that after I had received my awar...

Introversion and Extroversion

There are many articles, books, blogs, videos, etc. about Jungian personality traits of introversion and extroversion.  Here's my summary: Introversion is a inward movement of energy (contractive). Extroversion is an outward movement of energy (projective). There are different reasons for the direction of flow.  However, I can only use myself as an example, as I could not find examples of Jungian personality traits being discussed as energy flows.  As much as I can understand myself (not enough), below are some possible reasons of the inward flow of personal energy: 1) Low energy level:  When I am tired, either lack of sleep, or body requires extra energy to rebuild, realign, recover, etc., then I pull in my energy. 2) Creative work:  When I write, I draw in a lot of energy, because otherwise I am a scatterbrain whose ideas don't flow logically or structurally.  Other individual activities such as reading also draw in a lot of energy, but it diffe...

Fishing for Memories

-
Seth exercise: following non-recognized neurological sequences (1) The analogy of the onion layers. You are used to a time structure, so that you remember something that happened at a particular time in the past. Usually you can record events in that fashion (chronologically). The body record events biologically in neurological pockets as it perceives activity. Those neurological pulses are geared to the biological world you know. (2) Past, present, future all exist in the now . Other-life memories do float to the surface, but their rhythm is not synchronized, and they are not tied into the nervous system as precisely as your   regular memories. Your present gains its feeling of depth because of your past as you understand it.  Other life memories are carried along beneath those other pulses, never coming to rest so that they can be examined , instead, forming the undercurrents (unconscious) upon which the memories of your current life ride. The future represents anoth...
