It all depends on the nature of your own nervous system. In many cases (more than people realize), “less is absolutely more.” Far too long has the mechanism of the mind been the only thing targeted for transformation within the subliminal industry and make no mistake – we do not blame anyone or claim any kind of superiority, for we did the exact same thing.
But the health and the regulation nervous system – an extension of the mind, and the body being an extension of both of them are equally important. It is interesting that Western sciences are just now starting to understand what the Far East philosophies and religions have known all along, with the West pouring the wisdom of the Far East into this easily palatable concept of “nervous system regulation.” But, I digress.
But within what is emerging, it is much more important to find your “sweet spot,” the balance between being able to process and take action without trigger reconciliation – which goes beyond just the mind, but the capacity of the nervous system itself. Overloading your system does not lead to better results. If anything, you’re reinforcing the very fears the nervous system is “holding.” With overexposure, you’re essentially triggering yourself with the hopes that you’ll somehow “pull it off.” But that is transformation through fear and intensity ALL the time. I’m not going to say that fear and intensity has no place. My nervous system reacts to pressure with clarity. It is strange. The more frustrated I am, the more efficient I become.
I had to ask myself finally where this came from. And I recognized that it came from having a rough childhood and early adulthood, where I identified – completely unconsciously – with being the “resilient survivor.” The one who overcomes obstacles using sheer will when no one else sees an positive outcome. And yes, while that has built an incredible amount of resilience, I’m feeling extremely burnt out from it. After Dragon Reborn: Regeneration + GLM, I am finding that my nervous system and unconsciously thoughts / drive are now moving me away from drama almost automatically. I now naturally refuse to take part in people’s illusions, projections, dramatic outbursts – none of it has anything to do with me.
I found this very interesting, and one of my closest colleagues, outside of @Fire, this is the only person who I will take personal life advice from because they consistently hit the mark noted that in their own research, even a person’s nervous system has an archetype and that the personality seems to be the outward reflection of that archetype. They are going to share their information later, this framework that they are creating to allow people to somewhat understand themselves more.
But as a taste, he noted that my own nervous system archetype is that of “guardian / regulator,” NOT healer. He noted that the healer archetype – like a therapist – co-processes energy with another person. The client dumps their negative energy onto the therapist and the latter will process those thoughts, that energy with the client. The therapist’s nervous system, if they are truly being honest with themselves about their vocation, has built in mechanisms to discharge that energy. He noted that this is not how I operate. When people project, or try to dump things onto me, my natural and instinctive reaction is to fire back, let them know that I am not responsible for the choices they have made in their own life.
He noted that this necessarily isn’t a “personality quirk,” but rather me honoring my own nervous system, which isn’t well equipped for 1-on-1 relationships where people want to use my depth as their container. My system is collective focused, absorbing the moods and thoughts of the collective itself, which doesn’t leave a lot of space for those types of things. He said you can even see it in the way @Fire and I both seem to operate – we’ll let debates on the forum go on long enough so that everyone gets their viewpoint (since again, collective feedback is where we’re oriented) and when the conversation gets too hot, one of us steps in and regulates the situation to bring things back to a neutral state where people can actually heal. We work in tandem with those who have healer archetypes here, but we are not necessarily the healers.
This BLEW my mind, especially in regards to how reconciliation forms and expresses. And I give this information for two things – one, to let everyone know that trying to constantly increase the “power” of a stack or custom is very linked to the capacity of your nervous system, how it processes information, how it expresses inner information through the mind and body. Two, that when building customs and the such, honoring this is how you discover the best results.
You shouldn’t be frustrated if you “have” to run a less powerful title, or include less modules, or force yourself into more intense builds because someone else does. You should be focusing on what works for you and why.
And yes, everyone – of course the new title deals with this. We will be releasing more information very shortly.
