Chains

“Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.” - Rosa Luxemburg

I have a challenge in that I will go to bed in a healthy and positive mindset and yet wake in a mindset that is not so much… I realize I am “consciously aware of being in a negative vibration” and immediately change.

I think my biggest challenge is I DO move and threrfore I DO notice my chains. And I am allowing myself become frustrated. At least first thing in the morning. I can then move my vibration into a positive one.

Distractions – holy Hannah. More and more distractions every day. Keep focused. Stay on point.

And people who do not see their chains. Frustrating. I KNOW that 95% of all the people are going quietly to their graves. I do not want to do that. Hell I am NOT doing that. In think that is one of the main reason I teach. I want to help people wake up to their own potentialities.

I had a class last winter. There are a few groups of students I get.

The Keeners – these people want to have the highest marks. They came through The System thinking that the more right answers they have the better a person they have. They are remnants of the current educational system. The System is focused on parroting “stuff” and giving right answers. They do not realize they have chains on even though they move around. They are like trained elephants, they know just how far they can go without fear of reprisal. They know where to go to get praise – their report card. When they are at work they get a huge boost from “atta boys”. I’d say these people are about 5% of the group.

The Just-Get-By-ers – these people do just enough so they are not kicked out of school. They do not care about praise. In fact, The System has trained them to not be brainiacs. Brainiacs are ostracized by others in this group. They like to know they had low marks. I think these people see The Keeners and wish they were like them not realizing they could be. I believe that with very few exceptions we are all born with the same potential as everyone else. This group of people just do not believe they can do it. At wrk hey do just enough not to get fired and their employer pays them just enough so they do not quit. These people are about 80% of the group.

The Quiet Ones – these people are very hard to understand and yet very easy to understand. Some have excellent marks and some do not. They all have one thing in common -  a lack of self confidence. They do not answer questions in class. EVEN when I can see in their face they know the answer. Even if I call on them they either flub the answer or say they do not know. They have been beaten down by The System and their classmates. They may have been or are being bullied. They may just be going through a pile of shit at home or work. When they are at work they do what they are told – usually very well – but they eschew and opportunity to lead. These are about 5% of my classes.

The Hiders – I am very frustrated by these people. They are the people who zone out on Netflix in class. They are the ones that go and get drunk or stoned at lunch. They are the ones that get home and fall into some sort of stupor – drugs and alcohol or just avoidance – and don’t complete homework. Some have tremendous talent in my class but they just “don’t care”. The System has allowed this because they can function to a degree and may even eke through the course. They see NO future for themselves other than whatever they are doing. They work all week counting down to the weekend so they can party, get drunk or stoned and then spend Sunday recouperating. These people are about 5% of the group.

The Leaders – this group sees and feel the chains. They have talents in landscaping or horticulture and are in my class to maximize their talents to maximize their life’s potential. The System is scared of these people. They do not want to participate in a system that demands their compliance. They want to control their destiny. These people may participate by being an employee but they will be an intrapreneur – someone working within an organization to maximize their own and the organizations potential. They may end up owning their own company. They want to control their own destiny from now until the grave. They are the leaders of our society and are either getting very good marks or average marks. They are not driven by the scale of their marks but by the results of their education. They recognize they need a certification to be more easily able to open the first few doors they face. These people are a dream to teach. These people recognize The System and know they have to work within it to get without it. 5% of the people are LEADERS.

So please, please, please MOVE and find your chains. You may have to move a long way. But the chains are there. It takes a lot of work and thinking and learning to break those chains. The more you learn the more you will realize the chains are within yourself. As you learn more you will start to think more. As you think more you will start to change your paradigms.

Enjoy life – it is yours to live.
