Write Your Newsletter

...nobody does it better. So be Nobody, and write your newsletter.

Being Nobody

In order to build your Tribe... your Circle... people need high quality 'food' from you.
They need your vision, your inner struggle to grow up, your Radically Responsible insights, and your Spaceholding.

They thrive on learning the details of your journey, of how you go first. This is what a leader is... the one who goes first.

There are many platforms for sharing your enthusiasm or disgust, including FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.

There is no platform to share your leadership except your Website with your monthly Newsletter.

FEAR OF BEING SOMEBODY

One of the most frightening but unconscious fears about Writing Your Newsletter is the fear of being seen. (Can you feel that fear right now when you think about what it would mean to be seen? Perhaps you only feel 7% intensity of fear. But, if your fear is unconscious (because you are not aware that those sensations are fear happening in your body), and if you are afraid of fear (because your Point Of Origin is still located in the Old Thoughtmap of Feelings so you think 'fear is bad'), then, 7% unconscious fear is enough to prevent you from Writing Your Newsletter.

Your 7% fear makes becoming visible seem dangerous. Your mind tells you stories: If you stand out, stand up, take a stand... and then all of a sudden people's attention would go towards you because you have become SOMEBODY.

If you are SOMEBODY, then peoplewill Judge you. People will Project onto you. People will direct Expectations at you. People will make Assumptions about you. People will dump their Prejudices upon you. People will React against you. People will fabricate Stories about you, and also Believe other people's stories about you. After all that, they will be jealous of you and take revenge on you.

If you are SOMEBODY then you automatically challenge the 'Powers That Be'. People 'in charge' see you and suddenly feel afraid of what you might become. People 'at the top' have unpleasant ways of dealing with 'people like you'.

You learned all these things unconsciously from your parents, who learned them unconsciously from their parents, and so on.

Modern culture citizens carry fears imprinted deeply into their nervous systems during the 700 years of Catholic Inquisitions and 300 years of Witch Burnings. Your ancestors who survived passed them on to you. One of the first things you learn as a child is to 'watch out for what the neighbors might think'. Be normal. Be traditional. Conform to standard behaviors. Do not stand out. Keep your head down or it will get cut off.

In subtle ways these fears are still running your life, preventing you from unfolding your talents, blocking you from being you and living your life. They stop you from Writing Your Newsletter.

IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU

Your Newsletter, if it is to serve others - if it is to be transformational for others - is not about you.

It is not about what you like, what you don't like, your opinions, your inner dialog, what you did, what you were too afraid to do, what you thought about whatever, what you think about what others are thinking or doing or not doing. Your Newsletter is not about your reactivity to other people's lack of reactivity. "Thank you for not reacting to my reactivity about you not being reactive." It is not about these things.

If you Write Your Newsletter about you, you will run out of ideas and stories in a few paragraphs or a few issues. It becomes boring to write about yourself because you already know these stories. Soon you let your Gremlin write your Newsletter in order to entertain or dazzle your friends.

And frankly, your friends are watching Netflix.

You cannot compete with Netflix for dazzle and whomp. You will lose any competition for people's attention if you try to compete against Netflix.

Perhaps you have thought, "What do I have to write about? My life is not as interesting as... Netflix. I have no examples to give of how I became a millionaire, how I lost thirty kilograms, how I dated Brad Pitt or Scarlet Johansson, how I battled the CIA's enemy and came out the winner. I do not have THE SOLUTION THAT WILL SAVE THE WORLD. I cannot coach people to modern-culture's definition of success. My life is not special. I am just a housewife... just a programmer... just a farmer... I have nothing extraordinary to say. Why should I write a Newsletter?"

After listening to such inner dialog for years, it can be a tremendous and shocking relief to discover that your Newsletter is not about you. You can forget about that altogether.

The purpose of your Newsletter is to feed your Circle.

What is the value of feeding and growing your Circle? Feeding your Circle builds a Gameworld through which your Bright Principles and your Archetypal Lineage can do their work in the world.

The world is asking you to write Your Newsletter.

You never know who might read your newsletter next...

It could be Ethiopian kids!

Write your newsletter for them.

Transforming Your Fears About Being Somebody

TWO PROPOSALS

Your Newsletter has the power to inspire and empower other edgeworkers to write their own Newsletters. This creates a snowball of intelligent and evolutionary next-culture Circles igniting more Circles which ignite even more Circles of culture-shift possibilities. It creates a brighter future for humanity on planet Earth. Upgrading human thoughtware is perhaps the most valuable service you can provide for people today.

Accomplishing this Purpose starts with you regularly generating your own Newsletter - once a month at the least - and sending it out to your Circle. However, your subtle fears about becoming visible have been stopping you for a long time.

Are you ready for this to change?

There are two powerful ways to transform your fears of becoming visible.

1. RELOCATE YOUR POINT OF ORIGIN

One way is to create new clarity in yourself about what your Purpose is for Writing Your Newsletter. To actually embody the new Purpose you will need to go through the Self Surgery of Relocating Your Point Of Origin.

In the 'Relocating Your Point Of Origin' healing and initiatory process, you extract your Point Of Origin from being located in the life strategy that says something like, "Speaking out, becoming visible, or being Authentically me is dangerous. To survive I must be like the others and be quiet."

Then you replant your Point Of Origin deeply into an entirely different life strategy (set new context) that says something like, "I am here. You may have killed me before, but it did not work. I am back. I am done with playing small and invisible. It is time to live full out. Here I am."

This can make for a very interesting future that begins fresh in each next breath.

2. DO EMOTIONAL HEALING PROCESSES

The second way to transform your fears of becoming visible goes like this: Every time a subtle emotion (such as fear, anger, sadness, or Mixed Emotions) arises in you - in this case, with regards to Writing Your Newsletter or 'speaking out' or 'writing' or 'becoming visible' - use that exact emotion as a Doorway to an Emotional Healing Process. In this way, your emotions can give you their gifts.

As soon as you feel an emotion for longer than three minutes, you can be sure that it is an Emotion and not a Feeling. Feelings come from the present moment. Emotions come from incomplete feelings in the past, or from external authority figures such as parents, society, religious belief systems, political rallies, or corporate brand-fidelity marketing programs. Emotions may also come from your Gremlin, that part of you serving Shadow Principles to assure your survival. (Read that as, "To assure you do not escape from your prison of ordinary habits.")

The instant you Notice that you are having an emotion, immediately connect with someone in one of your Teams (Possibility Team, Research Team, Practice Team, S.P.A.R.K. Experiment Team, Study Group, Women's Circle, Men's Circle, etc.).

Say, "Hello. I notice that I am having an emotional reaction. Would someone please hold space for me to go through an Emotional Healing Process."

Memorize that sentence.

Making use of a transformational Doorway can be that simple.

Usually, within a few minutes to half-an-hour of your request, one or two people from your Team will be online with you, accompanying you on the adventure of discovering what evolutionary step is ripe for the picking... and helping you pick it!

During each Emotional Healing Process Liquid State you become aware of something you were not aware that you were not aware of before.

Please remember: If there is no Liquid State, there is no change. Emotional Healing Processes cannot be done in your head!

Your new awareness permits you afterwards to make new decisions and to take unprecedented actions as you set out with a different way of relating with the world and its creatures.

Usually an Emotional Healing Process includes an unpredictable nonlinear jump where you discover hidden or suppressed inner strengths and potentials. These treasures are then yours for the rest of your life.

Each Emotional Healing Process is an authentic adventure, transporting you into a new and more dynamic future than you may ever have imagined possible.

Just remember, no one can go through an Emotional Healing Process for you. More interestingly, no one can stop you from going through one.

Also remember, in this case, that your Emotional Healing Process is about more effectively Writing Your Newsletter.

Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention. Be Astonished. Write about it.

Feed Your Circle

FEED YOUR CIRCLE

Your Circle is the people in the world who are hungry for the same things that you are hungry for.

No matter what your heart longs to encounter or understand, no matter what growth and healing inspires your activity, no matter the specifics of your transformational Path, there are other people who have similar longings.

Your Newsletter is about feeding those people.

But, how do you feed your people?

The answer is simple. Feed yourself.

If you feed yourself in your own Newsletter, you feed the others in your Circle.

How does this work? It is simple. Those people around the world who are hungry for the same things you are hungry for, will be fed at the feast you feed to yourself.

No, you will not already know what you need next. You can only check deeply into yourself and sense the questions churning there that need answered right now. What you need to discover NOW is what the other people also need to discover NOW. We live in morphogenetic fields of influence. We resonate with each other all across the planet. Your job is to dive more deeply than ever before into what you most want to dive into.

This is the practical application of WISE SELFISHNESS.

Write down how it goes and what you discover while feeding yourself exactly what you desire to explore, discover, investigate, and try out NOW. What feeds you will feed the others. You are a food provider for your Circle.

When others in your Circle experience being deeply fed from the nutrition you provide in your Newsletter, they will tell other like-minded people about your Newsletter, and your Circle will thrive.

When others in your Circle are fed to the gills, they will not be able avoid feeding others with their own Newsletter.

Your Circle people stealing your stuff is success for you!

It is success if people steal your stuff because your resources are unlimited. For this reason none of the material you create can be copyrighted. It does not belong to you. It belongs to the Creative Commons. Everything you create is copyleft, open code thoughtware. The way you got it is the way you give it away: (Creative Commons Attribute Share Alike 4.0 International License).

Try to escape from the 'American Copyright Lawyer Gremlin Thoughtware', thinking there is a scarcity of incredibly useful stuff. There is no scarcity. How can there be scarcity? Your sources are energetic, intelligent, transformational, very different from material resources such as the rare earth minerals needed to make batteries and phone chips.

Your resources are not precious 'because they are scarce'. Your resources are precious because they are Transformational. They work. People can experience the Transformational effects of your distinctions, thoughtmaps, tools and processes in their daily lives, work, and relationships. There is no top end to Transformation.

If it scares you to be the center of a thriving Circle, feeding other powerful edgeworkers with your monthly Newsletter... then go do your next Emotional Healing Processes.

If, after your Emotional Healing Process, you are still scared, then GOOD! This means you are alive. Face your fear directly and say, "Hello Fear. Welcome! What do you have for me?" Then write down in your Beep! Book exactly what your fear says. Then say, "Anything else about that right now, Fear?" After Fear has delivered its message, say, "Thank you Fear. You can go now. I will handle this and talk with you later."

Then YOU decide what to do about whatever Fear told you. Fear no longer gets to decide about your life. You do. Conscious Fear serves you as an ally with its energy and information, just like Conscious Anger, Conscious Sadness, and Conscious Joy do.

NEWSLETTER FOOD MENU

What is 'food' or 'nutrition' in a Newsletter? Here are some examples:

Your own newly discovered distinction: how you discovered it, the experiments you did, and most importantly, how you are effectively applying this distinction in your daily life, with specific examples that readers can relate to. This is a Legend Making story.
Links to offers from inspiring projects, such as: http://context.org, http://livingresilience.org, or https://designingforlife.org
Links to collections of other inspiring projects, such as: http://ecovillage.org, http://startover.xyz, http://possibilitymanagers.org, or PM Global Online Offers Calendar.
Photographs of people creating amazing experiences with each other (not children, not animals, not nature - these do not carry your personal responsibility, so then you force people into making up anthropomorphic fantasy worlds about what is going on and live in their fantasy worlds instead of making extraordinary experiments that create new possibility.)
Attach a S.P.A.R.K. Experiment as a PDF file (see below for details).
Invitations to your calendar of online or onsite WorkTalks, online or onsite WorkShops, Trainings, or invitations to participate with you in any of your other Experiments or Teams.
Quote Photos that avoid saying "you should" or "we should" or "we must" and do not promote religious or political beliefs, etc. It is best if the quote delivers a new and empowering distinction, and provides a link to http://possibilitymanagement.org or to your own personal website for further information.
Articles that YOU have written and published online.
Be SURE to include your Website URL and email address or phone number in each Newsletter so that people can reach you with questions and ideas!

Newsletter Hints

MAKE YOUR OWN PHOTOGRAPHS

Get used to making a lot of photographs. Try to avoid using canned photographs that someone else took.

Believe it or not your people can tell the difference. Canned photographs taste like SPAM.

Your people are not interested in something glossy that you download from the internet. They are interested in YOUR photographs.

True, using canned photographs does not put you at as much risk as sharing photos from your own camera. But your photos are taken through your perspective of what you sense as beautiful, interesting, important, funny, wild, strange, colorful, educational, etc.

Your photos are you.

Share this part of 'you' in your Newsletters. This gives other people the courage to share themselves also!

SEND DISTINCTIONS

A distinction differentiates one specific thing or condition from another where before you could not make the differentiation.

Distinctions create Clarity. Clarity creates new Possibilities!

With each Newsletter you write, include as least one significant matrix-building DISTINCTION accompanied by EXPERIMENTS to try, such as are provided in:

S.P.A.R.K.s (Specific Practical Applications of Radical Knowledge) written by Clinton Callahan. All existing S.P.A.R.K.s are available for free online through http://sparks.nextculture.org/ as PDF files for easy download. You can attach any of these S.P.A.R.K.s to your newsletter free for the taking. S.P.A.R.Ks are open code, and copyleft. In English there are already 210 S.P.A.R.K.s. If you send out one S.P.A.R.K. with your weekly Newsletter there are enough S.P.A.R.K.s for 4 years... If you send out one S.P.A.R.K. with each monthly Newsletter, then there are enough S.P.A.R.K.s for 15 years! ...and by then there will be another 200 S.P.A.R.K.s written! Share the S.P.A.R.K.s!
