A brief background on how WTFreq came about:

 

In receiving and learning a unique and simple method about the power of our words and, little did I realize at the time, just how powerful they are for our lives.  The impact and implications they have on us and our lives may astound you.  

 

As I was going through the process of what’s known as the Enlifted Method, I viscerally felt the power of our words and how we’re telling stories, to ourselves and others, impact us individually and our sphere of influence.  Wild things began to happen when I released the stories that I had been telling myself about myself, unknowingly.

 

As I was clearing out limiting beliefs and unconscious patterns I recognized I was in, I felt disoriented due to so much conditioning of being told who I am, how to BE, while seeing conflicting examples.  I was thinking, “If those stories aren’t true, what was I taught to identify with? What is true?”

 

Due to my upbringing and experiences, I seemed to stand apart from the “normalization” of how many in my environment were thinking, believing, feeling, saying and doing. I was considered the “black sheep,” the rebel, the outcast, the FREQ!  

 

I was made to feel ashamed of my existence and who I am as a person, a being.  The judgment, guilt and shame I was made to feel for who and what I am caused many to assume and project on me, and those I love and care about, altering my perception of myself and, in turn, how I saw others, because I trusted those I was "told" to trust and blindly believed what I was told and taught is “real” and “true” by those in my environment.

 

In learning more about the power of words and frequencies, I also recalled how many who are “different,” according to societal norms, are labeled as “freaks.”  It made me think of the Freq Shows in the history of the circus.  It really resonated with me how fitting the narrative of it applied to what I have seen and experienced through my life.

 

One of the roles of the clowns was distracting the audience from what was happening behind the scenes of the show.  If the Big Cat tamer was attacked, for instance, the clowns would be sent out to perform to direct the audiences’ focus onto them and not look at what was happening behind the scenes.

 

Then there’s the Freak Show.  It became the most popular show in the circus.  They were of great variety in looks, talents, backgrounds and beliefs, all coming together and simply being and doing their thing.  The ironic thing is, they were made fun of, mocked, judged, shamed for being different, yet, they fascinated people and were the most popular show.

 

Experiencing the effects of language caused me to dig deeper into the topic.  What a rabbit hole that became and I realised more and more, especially feeling the impact of changing my words, the power of the frequencies of our words were beyond what I imagined possible.

 

Hence, the creation of WTFreq!  Not only did I repeatedly ask that question through my journey, I realised the baseless judgment that many have for those who are different from the labels of societal “norms” of their time.

 

Let’s dig into the implications of the effects language has on our physical, mental and emotional states of BEing…

 

What are we willing to do to create a better life and environment for ourselves and, by proxy, other’s lives?

​

• Freak (n.1)

1560s, "sudden and apparently causeless turn of mind," of unknown origin. Perhaps it is from a dialectal survival of a word related to Middle English friken "to move nimbly or briskly," from Old English frician "to dance" [OED, Barnhart]. There is a freking attested in mid-15c., apparently meaning "capricious behavior, whims." Or perhaps from Middle English frek "eager, zealous, bold, brave, fierce" (see freak (n.2)).

 

Each of our lives are precious and we all have valuable gifts, talents and insight to share as we  consider our choices, and how our words are impacting us more than we may have previously known.

 

Knowing the value of the non-renewable resource of time, I want to say a big thank you for making the time to be here and hear WTFreq may be going on and read as We Speak!

 

We hear a lot about what we “desire” to have show up in our lives and experiences that would make our lives enjoyable.  Goals, dreams, aspirations, whatever we enjoy doing.  Why are so few doing them?  Have we given up hope that it’s possible to achieve them, to really live a full and happy life?

 

How do the frequencies of emotions impact us physically and psychologically:

​

• Trauma (n.)

1690s, "physical wound," medical Latin, from Greek trauma "a wound, a hurt; a defeat," from PIE *trau-, extended form of root *tere- (1) "to rub, turn," with derivatives referring to twisting, piercing, etc.

 

Originally an abnormal condition of the body produced by external violence, as opposed to one caused by poison, infection, bad habits. The sense in psychology of "psychic wound, unpleasant experience which causes abnormal stress" is by 1894 (William James, who describes it as "thorns in the spirit, so to speak," in "Psychological Review").

 

• Psychic (adj.)

1872, "of or pertaining to the human soul" (earlier psychical, 1640s), from Greek psykhikos "of the soul, spirit, or mind" (opposed to somatikos), also (New Testament) "concerned with the life only, animal, natural," from psykhē "soul, mind, life" (see psyche).

 

The meaning "characterized by psychic gifts; pertaining to the class of extraordinary and obscure phenomena of the mind not usually treated by psychologists" (mind-reading, second sight, etc.) is attested from 1871.

 

• Psyche (n.)

1640s, "animating spirit, the human spirit or mind," from Latin psyche, from Greek psykhē "the soul, mind, spirit; life, one's life, the invisible animating principle or entity which occupies and directs the physical body; understanding, the mind (as the seat of thought), faculty of reason," also "ghost, spirit of a dead person;" probably akin to psykhein "to blow, breathe," also "to cool, to make dry."

 

These are sometimes traced to a PIE root *bhes- "to blow, to breathe" (source also of Sanskrit bhas-), "Probably imitative" [Watkins]. Beekes finds this tempting but not convincing and doubts the existence of the PIE verb based on scant evidence.

 

The word had extensive sense development in Platonic philosophy and Jewish-influenced theological writing of St. Paul (compare spirit (n.)). Thus in Biblical use the Greek word was "the soul as the seat of feelings, desires, affections, etc.," also "the soul regarded as a moral being designed for everlasting life," and "the soul as an essence which differs from the body and is not dissolved by death." In English, the meaning "human soul" is from 1650s; the psychological sense of "mind" is attested by 1910.

 

Now let’s play connect the dots…

 

Did you know that our brain chemistry is produced so that what chemicals we’re releasing  are going to make us feel how we’re thinking.  Think of how the stress of “fight or flight” is making us FEEL consistently and, due to not knowing how to process the trauma and regulate our emotions, we stay in a conditioned stress state.  

 

Stress is the root cause of at least 85% of DISease.  Many are trying all they’re being “told” will help them alleviate it, and, we do the best we can to cope in some way to get through life.  Sometimes it comes in the form of unintentionally releasing  “pressure” like a pressure cooker that comes out in the form of a projection, lashing out.  As children, we could call them "tantrums."  It’s due to the build up of the pressure and stress, trying to communicate what it is, and, either not knowing where it’s really coming from, or, knowing where it’s coming from and not knowing what to do about it.  Why?

 

What’s the difference between “telling” someone something and allowing them to make choices so they feel/ experience the wisdom of feeling by listening and/ or offering suggestions, sharing perspective and experiences?

 

How does “telling” someone something is “true” impact other’s perceptions and perspectives?  Could it be altering their trajectory and future?  Is it really “true” or a perspective based on someone else’s experience and belief system?  Why is it important to understand the difference?

 

What’s the cause of a projection?  Before babies can speak, they show emotion to communicate unmet needs, usually in the form of a “tantrum.”  If those needs aren’t met, the emotions get “trapped” and stored in our bodies, the physical and emotional energy fields.  It stays there, impacting us, and because we were taught to dismiss them, ignore them, judge them, shame them, just "sit and be quiet," frustration builds and then we "lash out" and react in someway to release the stuck emotions. Because we attempt to convey the meaning of what we were told and taught words mean, we then feel the emotions based on the conditions of our environment.  If it was stress, we learned to BE stressed.

 

Sound carries information.  Even though, when we’re children, not fully understanding ourselves, we decipher through emotion as to how to BE based on how others in our environment are BEing.

 

When we’re in stress, we’re breathing shallowly and that impacts our physical bodies and our emotional states due to perpetuated overthinking as well as the “go go go,” “do do do,” work work work” that keeps us from slowing down and really breathing how we’re meant to breathe, in our stomachs, deeper belly breaths, that assist us in our ability to think, feel and function.

 

When we’re shut down to this degree consistently, not only does our physical body manifest DISease, it creates burnout mentally and emotionally, potentially becoming apathy.

​

apathy (n.)

c. 1600, "freedom from suffering, passionless existence," from French apathie (16c.), from Latin apathia, from Greek apatheia "freedom from suffering, impassibility, want of sensation," from apathēs "without feeling, without suffering or having suffered," (avoidance) from a- "without" (see a- (3)) + pathos "emotion, feeling, suffering" (from PIE root *kwent(h)- "to suffer"). Originally a positive quality; the sense of "indolence of mind, indifference to what should excite" is by 1733.

 

Even though we “think” we’re avoiding the issues by shutting down, it’s the reason many are turning to coping mechanisms in order to FEEL something and/ or numb the suffering we feel.

 

Sex is a popular way many cope because it’s a way to “feel good,” albeit temporary gratification that eventually loses effect and we’re in the state of wanting for something to help us feel good again.  Of course there’s nothing wrong with it, the question becomes, are we doing it to cope or for connection, maybe both?  

 

If it isn’t sex, is it alcohol, drugs (prescription or otherwise), shopping, eating, even working out, any mechanism we’re using to avoid the void we feel and, due to not knowing what options and solutions could really help and/ or trying so many other things, yet nothing seems to create lasting results?

 

Why do most addictions exist?  Could it be due to the lack of connection with someone/ something?  What about a connection and relationship to ourselves and others?

 

Most of the time we have innumerable thoughts swimming around in our heads, some we’re aware of; things we “have” to do and feeling like there’s not enough time in the day, work, responsibilities, it seems endless, some can be unconsciously there.

 

How many of those thoughts are true and accurate and how many are unnecessarily creating more stress for ourselves due to how we’re perceiving things?

 

What we’re telling ourselves about ourselves is what we’re subconsciously focused on.  Desiring doesn’t just mean what we want in a constructive way.  There’s also the unmet needs from childhood that are “desiring” attention and healing.  These “desires” are impacting our perceptions of ourselves and our choices, therefore, our trajectory in our lives as well as our relationships.

 

Desire (v.)

"to wish or long for, express a wish to obtain," c. 1200, desiren, from Old French desirrer (12c.) "wish, desire, long for," from Latin desiderare "long for, wish for; demand, expect," the original sense perhaps being "await what the stars will bring," from the phrase de sidere "from the stars," from sidus (genitive sideris) "heavenly body, star, constellation" (but see consider). Related: Desired; desiring.

also from c. 1200

 

Why is it important to become aware of our belief systems that impact what we “desire,” and where they come from?  How are they impacting our choices and the trajectory of our lives and outcomes?  Why is how we’re using our language important?

 

We use our words to convey meaning and intention, which is felt in our BEing, if you will, especially through experiencing.  Is it possible to feel the effects of “direct experience” without application of the knowledge we say we have?  

 

Our energetic field surrounding us, unseen, emoting and emanating based on how we feel. How many have been unfairly projected on by someone we care about and, we ourselves have projected on others, perhaps unintentionally? 

 

How does being around those who are constantly negative make us feel?  Do we feel we have to cater to their emotions, causing us to tip-toe around how they’re feeling emotionally, putting us on constant “alert” and anticipate their mood and/ or needs so we avoid facing their reactions?  Why is it important to know what to do and how to handle situations like these?

 

How do our words impact how we feel?

 

The words we’re using decide how we’re “seeing” ourselves and others, due to labels and judgments created with the labels.  Using labels, which has an interesting etymology itself because it can translate as being just a “strip” of something, a partial of something, like a strip of a whole garment.  Could it reference a label as being partial information, a strip of a whole garment that prescribes a judgment to follow based on a partial viewpoint of what we have been “told” to see, not seeing the “whole garment" vs using discernment that uses our emotional state of BEing, which is created based on what we were told and taught these labels mean? 

 

Why is it important to grasp the meaning of words?

 

Judge (v.)

c. 1200, iugen, "examine, appraise, make a diagnosis;" c. 1300, "to form an opinion about; inflict penalty upon, punish; try (someone) and pronounce sentence," also intransitive, "make a decision, decide, think, suppose;" from Anglo-French juger, Old French jugier "to judge, pronounce judgment; pass an opinion on" (10c., Modern French juger), from Latin iudicare "to judge, to examine officially; form an opinion upon; pronounce judgment," from iudicem (nominative iudex) "a judge," a compound of ius "right, law" (see just (adj.)) + root of dicere "to say" (also "tell")(from PIE root *deik- "to show," also "pronounce solemnly"). 

 

Judgments are usually based on an assumption that causes us to rush to a “judgment” due to the meaning we’re giving labels and preventing us from truly “discerning” by asking questions and seeking to understand the whole story.

 

Discern (v.)

Origin and meaning of discern

"perceive or recognize the difference or distinction between (two or more things);" also "distinguish (an object) with the eyes, see distinctly, behold;" also "perceive rationally, understand;" late 14c., from Old French discerner (13c.) "distinguish (between), separate" (by sifting), and directly from Latin discernere "to separate, set apart, divide, distribute; distinguish, perceive," from dis- "off, away" (see dis-) + cernere "distinguish, separate, sift" (from PIE root *krei- "to sieve," thus "discriminate, distinguish").  

 

As we can see by this etymology, discernment is based on considering multiple perspectives.

 

Assuming and projecting are the mother of all conflicts.  How?  When we assign labels, especially teaching labels, which creates baseless judgments, cause us to immediately assume something about another.  Is it causing a potential unfair projection that is based on the lens of one position vs seeking to understand by asking questions and gaining more perspective, to gain a more accurate, clear perception and fair assessment through discernment and felt experience of the person and or group for ourselves?

 

The judgment is usually blindly accepted perspectives based on someone else’s experiences and judgments of their justified position.  Because they’re “family,” “friends,” “authority,“ “coworkers”, etc., do we blindly listen and believe their judgment without getting more sides of the story to truly “discern?"  Do we end up trusting them, so we listen without question?

 

As the definition of discern points out, it’s making a decision based on multiple perspectives to “distinguish” and, have other aspects we consider, so we make more informed choices based on a more accurate assessment.

 

Words also determine our focus in our lives.  What we’re choosing to focus on and what we’re “trying” not to focus on that's impacting our behavior.  This determines our perceptions and, depending on what we are taught about how to view our world, and, how much trauma we’ve endured, will be determined by the felt experience of what we’re “told” vs what we “experience” and whether we felt and experienced the same as others or not.

 

How did we come to have these judgments about ourselves and others?  How are the judgments we’ve been made to have about others impact us individually and collectively?

 

What were we taught and what was our environment as children and, even now?  What are our perceptions of our childhood compared to the perspective of our siblings?  In many cases, siblings disagree, yet, still love and support each other.  They look different, have different personalities, want different things in life, and we accept them as they are, usually, as long as it isn’t toxic.  Why are we not taught to do that with others, regardless of them being different as well?  

 

How does this shape our trajectory and future? 

​

ignore (v.)

1610s, "not to know, to be ignorant of," from French ignorer "be unaware of" (14c.), or directly from Latin ignorare "not to know, be unacquainted; take no notice of, disregard" (see ignorant). The original sense in English is obsolete. Sense of "pass over without notice, pay no attention to" in English first recorded 1801 (Barnhart says "probably a dictionary word"), and OED indicates it was uncommon before c. 1850. Related: Ignored; ignoring.

 

ignorant (adj.)

late 14c., "lacking wisdom or knowledge; unaware," from Old French ignorant (14c.), from Latin ignorantem (nominative ignorans) "not knowing, ignorant," present participle of ignorare "not to know, to be unacquainted; mistake, misunderstand; take no notice of, pay no attention to."

 

As shared previously, we see how our focus impacts our choices, feelings and trajectory based on the feelings, so why are we not focused on gaining more knowledge and wisdom, by getting multiple perspectives, and truly listening to others, regardless of titles, letters, papers and other labels that prevent us from truly listening and considering others?  

We see the meaning of the words, so what is it saying that we’re believing and doing with our lives?  When we choose to ignore, and not desire to consider others perspectives, are we limiting ourselves?  Are we leaving others, and their perspectives, to “rot” and leaving them to be unaware of who they are as another being, a heavenly body?  See Dr Emoto rice in water experiment here.

 

Consideration of Choices~ 

 

Consider~

late 14c., consideren, "to fix the mind upon for careful examination, meditate upon," also "view attentively, scrutinize; not to be negligent of," from Old French considerer (13c.) "reflect on, consider, study," from Latin considerare "to look at closely, observe," probably literally "to observe the stars," from assimilated form of com "with, together" (see con-) + sidus (genitive sideris) "heavenly body, star, constellation" (see sidereal).

 

Do we desire the wisdom “from the stars” which is  listening and sharing our desires and felt experiences that are influencing what we choose?  What is the definition of “choose?”

​

Choose~

Old English ceosan "choose, seek out, select from two or more; decide, test, taste, try; accept, approve"  (EXPERIENCE) (class II strong verb; past tense ceas, past participle coren), from Proto-Germanic *keus- (source also of Old Frisian kiasa, Old Saxon kiosan, Dutch kiezen, Old High German kiosan, German kiesen, Old Norse kjosa, Gothic kiusan "choose," Gothic kausjan "to taste, test"), from PIE root *geus- "to taste; to choose." Only remotely related to choice. Variant spelling chuse is Middle English, very frequent 16c.-18c. The irregular past participle leveled out to chosen by 1200.

 

“Choose” is the “word garment” to experience. 

 

What are we “trying on?”  It leads back to “consider” what we “desire” to do.  Does it fit with our desires?  What are we truly desiring?  Are we desiring wisdom "from the stars?"  Do we desire a more accurate understanding of ourselves, a situation, others? 

 

Or are we "desiring" to remain ignorant because we'd rather not take the time and make the effort to gain more wisdom and knowledge in order to have a better and more accurate assessment and understanding of others, causing us to continue assuming and judging?

 

Do we desire change?  Do we desire peace in our environment, our world? Do we believe it's possible to attain peace in our lives?  Do we desire connection to our loved ones and/ or others?  Is it fulfillment in life? 

 

Where’s the disconnect in meaning and intention behind the desires?

​

What’s the difference between perspective, perception and experiencing?

 

It’s important to “grasp” as we hear another perspective, from experiencing, being open to listening with an intent to better understand why our life is where it is currently and, how each of us are impacted as a result of the experiences provided, in mutual consideration and respect for each other’s choices.

 

Have we been considered in our lives by those in our environment and in “trusted positions?”

 

This is designed to benefit us personally and professionally.  Keep in mind as we’re going through this, our language, and how we’ve been taught to use it, is how our perceptions are created which influences how we’re feeling.  How we're feeling is how we're choosing what we are each day.

 

That said, where could the issues we’re facing today be coming from and what can we do about it?

 

What is true slavery?

 

Slavery (n)

1550s, "severe toil, hard work, drudgery;" from slave (v.) + -ery. The meaning "state of servitude, condition of a slave, entire subjection to the will and commands of another" is from 1570s; the sense of "the keeping or holding of slaves" is from 1728. (see Slav)

 

Slav (n.)

"one of the people who inhabit most of Eastern Europe," late 14c., Sclave, from Medieval Latin Sclavus (c. 800), from Byzantine Greek Sklabos (c. 580), from a shortening of Proto-Slavic *sloveninu "a Slav," which is probably related to *slovo "word, speech," which suggests the name originally identified a member of a speech community (compare Old Church Slavonic Nemici "Germans," related to nemu "dumb;" Greek heterophonos "foreign," literally "of different voice;" and Old English þeode, which meant both "race" and "language").

 

Enslavement (n.) In Latin (enslave/mind)

"act of enslaving; state of being enslaved, slavery, bondage, servitude," 1690s, from enslave + -ment.

 

Slavery can come in many forms as we can see by looking at the etymology of the words we’re using.  

 

In consideration of all the aspects of slavery and enslavement, as well as understanding the similarities and differences in what’s being shared, it all ultimately comes down to “enslave the mind.”  

 

How does slavery and the effects of enslavement impact our perceptions of ourselves and, in turn, others?

 

Perceive (v.)

c. 1300, perceiven, "become aware of, gain knowledge of," especially "to come to know by direct experience," via Anglo-French parceif, Old North French *perceivre (Old French perçoivre) "perceive, notice, see; recognize, understand," from Latin percipere "obtain, gather, seize entirely, take possession of," also, figuratively, "to grasp with the mind, learn, comprehend," literally "to take entirely," from per "thoroughly" (see per) + capere "to grasp, take," from PIE root *kap- "to grasp."

 

So what have we “come to know by direct experience” that “takes entirely” what our minds “grasp, take” from our environment and experiences?

 

What examples were we shown that taught and “told” us what to perceive about our experiences?

 

WTFreq is Going On?!  Considering how these things impact how we’re seeing everyone and everything in our lives, can we understand the importance of the words we’re using and how they’re impacting what we see?  Do we see how allowing others to influence what we’re seeing can impact everything else?

 

Perceptions Shaped~

​

Perceptions address the felt experience, not just knowledge.  How do these perceptions impact us and our trajectory in our lives and relationships?

 

Let’s look at the difference between perspective and perception by looking at a summary of the etymology of “perspective.”

 

Perspective~

late 14c., perspectif, "the science of optics," from Old French perspective and directly from Medieval Latin perspectiva ars "science of optics," from fem. of perspectivus "of sight, optical" from Latin perspectus "clearly perceived," past participle of perspicere "inspect, look through, look closely at," from per "through" (from PIE root *per- (1) "forward," hence "through") + specere "look at" (from PIE root *spek- "to observe"). The English word is also attested from early 15c. as an adjective, "pertaining to the science of optics."

 

Do we see how many of these definitions presuppose other perspectives were considered and “looked closely at?”

 

To provide a powerful example of the importance of our perceptions and perspectives of others, I’ll share an example of two brothers. 

 

A journalist heard the story of two brothers, one was very successful and the other was homeless and addicted to drugs and alcohol.  When the journalist asked each of them how they got where they are, they BOTH said, “My father was an alcoholic.”

 

Do we see the power of our perceptions and how we view ourselves and others?

 

The question becomes, WTFreq is Going On with our lives currently?  Are we happy?  Fulfilled?  Are we safe to freely self-express how we really feel, regardless of how “good” and “bad” others may perceive who and what we’re sharing to be?  Or do we fear being met with judgment, criticism, reactions, assumptions, etc?  

 

Where could we have come to learn these beliefs, feelings and behaviors that impact our choices and, in turn, our future?

 

Our environment consists of those in our childhood as we’re observing how to navigate our lives and how to BE as human beings growing up, how to speak, what to think, what to feel, what’s “real” and “true” about our lives and others, sponges of the surrounding emotional states of others as to how to “be.”  

 

How does this impact us then and now?

 

Here is where we get into frequency and how our emotional states of BEing are impacting our relationships and outcomes because that’s how we make choices, emotionally.  Marketers know this which is why commercials and ads are set up in such a way that NLP is used to get into our subconscious and make us believe we NEED this or that. 

 

Entertainment industry using music, stories  and frequencies to heighten emotional states of BEing and “paint pictures” that are operating outside of our conscious awareness influencing our BEhaviors and, therefore, choices and path.  It can even be impacting what we're believing about us and those in our world.

 

Combined with being “told” by trusted authority figures of what’s “real” and “true” then shapes our beliefs about ourselves and our world, thereby, impacting how we feel about ourselves and others.

 

What examples were we shown growing up, those who impacted us and influenced us and what we believe to be our “truth” about life and how it works?

 

This is where the importance of “grasping” the difference between “Authority” and “Leader” plays an important role in learning to navigate our lives, in another and better way, that allows us to FEEL and EXPERIENCE the results of the outcomes.

 

What I’ve come to learn through my journey is that leaders do not tell us what we want to hear because they know if we play small to protect others smallness, we both lose.  We are processes, not identities.  We can shift and change our minds, it’s part of why we’re here to experience and learn more about who and what we desire to be and become.  

 

Has the day to day responsibilities of life and stress kept us from really considering who we are, what we want for ourselves in our lives and outcomes?  Have we given up looking?  Who are we looking to for these answers?  Who are we believing has them?

 

Is empowerment and growth for our development being encouraged or are we feeling devalued and disempowered through titles rather than by example?

 

Another important distinction between authorities vs leadership is, are we motivated?  Do we feel appreciated and valued for our role?  How are we treated?  Are we feeling heard and considered or just pacified and dismissed?  Is there listening and communication or just heard to be responded to and our perspective discounted?

 

How do many get motivated?  Would it be fair to say, when we’re appreciated and feel valued, we’re motivated, flourish, inspired to show up for ourselves and others more, and, have the bandwidth to do so?

 

Leaders consider all involved and are open to other perspectives, willing to be accountable and responsible for their role in things that arise throughout our lives.

 

In considering others, are they assisting in creating solutions, providing tools to empower and become a leader of our lives as well?  Are they supportive of our goals and desires we wish to achieve for ourselves?  Is learning and growth being encouraged and fostered?

 

How are others influencing how we feel?  Are they not those who we’re “told” to go to for answers and solutions?  How are situations being handled?

 

Authority desires power.

Leadership desires to empower.

 

Are we making choices based on titles and not character and who they are at their core?  Do they have our best interests in mind for our lives personally or do they stand to gain something, profiting off of us in some way?  Are they saying what we want to hear and/ or use narrative to influence us and our choices so they “gain” something regardless of how the decision may impact us in our own lives?

 

In organizations as a whole, in family units, as well as professional organizations, if there’s a problem at the top, there’s inevitable issues creating a trickle down effect in how the organization is functioning.

 

Many organizations say they’re about Diversity, Equanimity, Inclusion.

 

What is true Diversity, Equanimity and Inclusion?  How can it shift organizations to more sustainable outcomes and longevity with more efficiency and effectiveness?

 

Let’s run through a couple of important distinctions between the difference in judging vs discerning.

 

Judge (verb)~ “from an opinion or conclusion about.”

 

Discernment (noun)~ “perception in the ABSENCE of judgment with a view to obtaining guidance and understanding.”

 

It’s simple to grasp that when multiple perspectives are considered, we gain a clearer picture of circumstances that arise.  To gain a more accurate picture and create solutions, are we listening intently, considering perspectives by asking questions and seeking to understand?  This allows for faster and easier solutions to issues that come up.

 

The Destructive Force of Assumption~

 

Assume (v.)

early 15c., assumen, "arrogate, take upon oneself," from Latin assumere, adsumere "to take up, take to oneself, take besides, obtain in addition," from ad "to, toward, up to" (see ad-) + sumere "to take," from sub "under" (see sub-) + emere "to take" (from PIE root *em- "to take, distribute").

 

The meaning "to suppose, to take for granted without proof as the basis of argument" is recorded by 1590s; that of "to take or put on fictitiously" (an appearance, etc.) is from c. 1600. Related: Assumed; assuming.

 

The early past participle was assumpt. In rhetorical usage, assume expresses what the assumer postulates, often as a confessed hypothesis; presume expresses what the presumer really believes. Middle English also had assumpten "to receive up into heaven" (especially of the Virgin Mary), from the Latin past participle. The make an ass of u and me joke is attested by 1957.

 

Assuming creates perceived stress as well as conflict, not only in the individual who is assuming, it also creates it in those they’re assuming about.  It creates stress in the environment and causes increased blood pressure, cortisol release and impacts those around us, as a result, in our nervous system, that picks up the frequencies of stress and, in turn, creates the response in us. 

 

We’re perceiving a reaction of another’s unhealed traumas and “taking it on” as our own experience.  What we “invite into” our BEing, through our emotional state of BEing, which is also impacting our perceptions, as a result of the “direct felt experience” from the one assuming and/ or presuming.  How much of how other's feel are we believing is our own stress?  Are they making it our stress by their behavior towards us?  What are we "taking on" as us, when it could be due to being around them?

 

This is why it’s vital for us to clear our lens of perceptions from assumptions, in order to create more  sustainable relationships and, therefore, organizations, allowing us to gain a clearer and more accurate picture of situations and, especially, each other.

 

It is the foundation of all shared experience we have throughout our lives.  Whatever stories we’re telling ourselves about ourselves goes with us everywhere we go and impacts every relationship we have. 

 

We are the stories we’re telling ourselves about ourselves and we take those stories with us wherever we are.

 

As explained previously, experience is felt which makes it important to consider what is being applied, or not, in our BEhavior.

 

Is the example of what Diversity, Equanimity and Inclusion represents being demonstrated in action, choices, behaviors, listening and communication?  We can only demonstrate the presence of, or the lack of, by feeling through the examples presented.

 

Let’s consider how this is affecting us and those we’re around.

 

There is no absence of energy (aka- emotional expressions), nor can it be created and destroyed, only whatever form we give meaning to which impacts our perceptions of ourselves and others and shows up in what we see in our lives and others.  What meaning and intentions do we have?

 

Is it a lens we require clearing from a formed belief, due to trauma?  Is it our nervous system alerting us to a “threat” to our emotional state of being, due to the inauthenticity of others intentions, ulterior motives or agendas? 

 

How does trauma affect our focus and relationships from there?  What is our intention and focus?

 

This is why who we choose to listen to, and consider, who we’re choosing to believe is sharing “truth” is so important.  It influences our perceptions of ourselves and others.  Do they have our best interests in mind or simply using their Authority as a means to establish power and control over other's “will” (choices) aka “enslaving” us to their version of “truth” that is impacting our “free will," which is our choices?

 

Becoming conscious of what we’re thinking and believing, and why, is the greatest recourse we have as a human species, as well as our greatest weapon against becoming victims of our circumstances, and language is our defensive and preventative means of shifting them.

 

Authenticity is key to trustworthiness, prevention of issues, and creating sustainable solutions.  It is also the highest vibration we can attain.

​

Consideration allows for others to feel seen and heard, regardless of the outcome. If others know they’re considered, they will feel the solution is more fair and be more receptive to the counsel.

 

Where we are in our “willingness” to “freely give our choices to” receive new information, is relative to the desire for answers to problems in our lives.  If our environment is not in a state of “pressure,” then our desire for change is lessened because we’ve been conditioned to take the perceived “path of least resistance,” so as not to look for answers and solutions.  

 

Solutions are ever present in our environment, are we present to the solutions?  The answer is determined by our focus.  Are we focused on solutions or on the problems?  Are we focused on what we DO want or DON’T want, CAN or CAN’T, IS or ISN’T possible for us in our lives?  Remember what was shared about how trauma impacts our focus?  Remember the example of the brothers?

 

As a point of reference and implications of the impact of our words creating the stories, there is what is known in the scientific community as Epigenetics.  There’s also a Harvard Study and, a show on Netflix called Spycraft episode titled “Covert Communication” 28min 28sec mark.  All of these reference the impact our language has on our very DNA "expression."  Why do we believe it's called gene "expression?"

 

Do we desire to take off the masks and stop clowning around so we can feel and experience the freedom of being our own unique Freq and let our Freq Flags fly by authentic self-expression of what we’ve seen and experienced, sharing our stories without masking?!

 

Authenticity is the highest vibration and consideration is the highest form of love.  What are the possibilities when we combine the two and show up for ourselves and others by listening and considering them? 

 

We are desiring to share something that can bring us all a sense of peace in finding solutions to issues for each of us.  By doing so, we can create a safe space and community of support for those who are truly desiring change for the better and, in turn, create more peaceful environments for all applying the "wisdom from the stars."
