a shifting tide
3 minute read
The increasing wealth divide here in the UK, plus the slow economic decline of the west is pushing more and more people into truly desperate situations.
Most of us (whether you are on this side of the pond or that) can clearly see the devastating effects this on the surface of peoples lives.
After practising as a psychotherapist for a charity for a couple of years, I realised just how deeply people suffer from the effects of a very sick system.
I don't believe that system is fixable through economics and politics because at the level at which those systems are played out it's a rigged game.
Nor do I believe that wealth will ever be distributed equally. You just need to look at the Pareto distribution and Price's Law to see that, in all systems, there is a hierarchical distribution of resources.
All the same, I do believe we can level that playing field out more evenly than it currently exists. And I don't believe anyone else is going to do it for me.
I also know it's possible to shift peoples attitudes and their environments in such a way that they can prosper from what I would best describe as a personal revolution.
You could call this revolution spiritual or psychological - in essence it is the individual claiming enough agency, imagination, and courage to pursue their true nature - which is the antithesis of what the majority of collective systems want from their populations.
I don't believe this is a single movement that corresponds to a single ideology.
The community I'm currently building on Skool is an attempt at a playful and creative approach to solving what is actually a very serious and devastating issue we face. Essentially this is the issue of disproportionate and unconscious behaviour.
I've built out and tested many different tools on other platforms, and I recently discovered the Keynote slides from my first presentation of LIFE from 2008!
I'm a couple of weeks away from publishing the Life Compass, which will be the keystone before I begin building the rest of the structure.
All of the courses are built and all of the materials set up, now it will just be a case of delivering them and managing a flow of audience in their general direction.
My aim is to do that organically.
As you may be able to tell, I work consistently but I'm not in a rush. :)
Whether you want to join the group for the tools, the community, or just to follow my progress as I fail upwards for a few more years, you'll be most welcome!
I'll be documenting and posting more on YouTube and Instagram as I go and will be sure to post links here soon as I begin to release a quality of content worthy of your time and attention.
