Hi Damian - I was looking around for your podcast "rethink everything". It is out but I can't seem to be able to listen as there is a server error. Will the podcast be available again? 🌸
So we raise our levels of consciousness to clear personal thinking and we will be endowed with a superior batch of personal thoughts from universal thought?
I get the "there is no good or bad but thinking makes it so" perspective. but man, this entire theory is a massive oversimplification of the human enterprise. Furthermore, it ignores two-thirds of the ancient Primary Perspectives (Good, True, Beautiful). It misses True, and conflates Beauty and Goodness. (I'll put this Three Principles down with Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals.) No one can, for example, think themselves out of the pain of a broken leg from falling out of a tree. And no one can, for example, think themselves out of the effect of the gravity that got them out of the tree. As a practicing psychotherapist and professor of counseling, please beware silver-bullets, or even silver-buckshot. I'll give you that an insight differentiating events from experiences of events is powerful. Awareness is powerful. But it's not the whole story. (p.s. I think the entire model is also suicidally individualistic - denying the collectivistic nature of experience - see Jung for more on that...) God bless and keep thinking, searching, and exploring, and celebrating the journey.
Hi James, Good point to BEWARE silver-bullets... Please can you say why this video is 'denying the collectivistic nature of experience'...? I looked up Jung....who seems to say similar to the 3 P's..... How a person relates to the external world is, according to Jung, determined by their levels of extroversion or introversion and how they make use of the functions of thinking, feeling, sensation, and intuition. Some people have developed more of one or two of these facets than the others, which shapes how they perceive the world around them. : journalpsyche.org/jungian-model-psyche/ The collective unconscious The theory of the collective unconscious is one of Jung’s more unique theories; Jung believed, unlike many of his contemporaries, that all the elements of an individual’s nature are present from birth, and that the environment of the person brings them out (rather than the environment creating them). Jung felt that people are born with a “blueprint” already in them that will determine the course of their lives, something which, while controversial at the time, is fairly widely supported to today owing to the amount of evidence there is in the animal kingdom for various species being born with a repertoire of behaviours uniquely adapted to their environmentI am interested, given your profession, if you can please point me at ... the whole story. Thanks in advance Love & Smiles Rose x ☆¨¯`♥ ¸.☆¨¯`♥ ¸.¨¯`♥
I have read many books about 3P which are all great but Damian's explanation of the 3P is the best and most simplified I have found and I would highly recommend his work.
Have read Second Chance by Syd (which I must say is a fantastic novel) providing great insight. Your explanation is highly a really credible stripped down version, and I hope that many people can access this to gain insight.
That’s it? Started reading the book and got to the part describing the three principles. Was waiting for some substance and your video proved that I don’t need to read any further. So thank you for saving my time. For anyone actually interested in the power of thoughts, emotions and behaviours check out some great talks by Dr Joe Dispenza, maybe the interview he did on the Impact Theory podcast.
I know all of this but I learned it all from A Course In Miracles. It is based on the same principles. The problem is not what we think but THAT we think our thinking is optimal when it is not...
Mind, in this context, is 'Universal Mind' or the energy and intelligence behind all life. If you want proof of a miracle, for instance, go and look in the mirror. Something of great intelligence has to have created something of great intelligence. That's the Universal Mind I'm referring to here, not the traditional use of the word. Hope that helps.
So the MInd is the overall intelligence that guides Life and the universal Thought is maybe a more personal assess point? Perhaps the Mind is the Ocean of wisdom and the Thought is the channel? Thanks for your reply. I am just trying to understand. I think this conversation is happening in many ways under many different names. Saying that consciousness is similar to light was VERY helpful. I understand that some people are walking around like a dim flashlight and others are lighthouses.
For myself, I have a had time raising my energy if there is not an emergency. I have to overcome that. I need to learn to create a sense of urgency. And, find the energy to act on it... I am working hard on that today.
Damian the content is absolutely spot on and no mention of Ego's. A bit more conviction and practice and you could rise to the top, with the right thinking.
*Damian you might want to take that song off this video, 'cos you could lose certain features on your channel with a copyright strike. RU-vid has a lot of free non-copyritten music that you could use.*
