How does the effects of addiction like heroin, alcohol, smoking change our brain chemistry? We learn a valuable lesson from Shiva how we are all simply human with vulnerabilities and as such will make mistakes. Understanding this allows us to comprehend what guilt is, and as such the ability to forgive ourselves and make lasting change. This powerful segment shows awakens an inner sense of just who we are and how we interact with others by allowing us to see not just the world, but the lens we see the world through.
In this segment of the Harnessing Inner Game Interview with Shiva of www.SGMS.info we discuss how your conscious and subconscious mind is at war with itself. We learn how to forgive ourselves and the impact that denial has on us. Discover the truth about your instincts as a human and how our actions, regardless of our intentions can do damage to others.
This part of the interview Shiva starts to tie together his Monkey Brain theories, ideas on the functions of guilt and how we interact socially.
In this episode we learn how to forgive ourselves, meerkats, reese monkeys, reptilian brain and dopamine. All good stuff! Social attitudes can dictate our sense of who we are and yet, we have the ability to make decisions that impact our lives. The most important part of this section is that our impact is not just of our own lives but the lives of everyone we surround ourselves with.
This is part 2 of Harnessing Inner Game interview I conducted with Shiva. You can walk along with me on my journey of discovery seeking out a better me. In this episode Shiva discusses the debilitating effect “Guilt” has on us, where it comes from and more importantly how to forgive ourselves. We are simply our instincts and experiences and from that we have the capability for growth.
Please come along and enjoy part 2 of the Harnessing Inner Game Interview brought to you by: The JunkyFungus Media Group, interviewed by me, an average guy with problems, trials and tribulations we all face. Walk in my shoes as I embrace life and make the changes necessary to get my life in order, learning all the steps that work so that you can too, without all the guesswork.
This is part 1 of a very large INTENSE interview I did with Shiva of www.SGMS.info. I consider Shiva my Inner Game Guru, as a lifelong student of Life Artistry. I personally like to call my personal development Life Artistry rather than Pick Up Artist as it is a limiting tag. Life Artistry covers all of life’s lessons and as a student of the world I encourage you to never limit yourself in one direction.
In this, part 1, section we learn of Shiva’s upbringing and how he came to realize he was seeking validation, acceptance and social proof. Shiva demonstrates that ultimately seeking validation from outside sources can be damaging to ones inner game.
The world has so many sides and beliefs it has become crucial to my development to embrace all of what it has to offer. Perhaps the best explanation I can give of my view of the world would be for you, my dear friend, to read and study the Tao Te Ching. Perhaps the most brilliant take on life ever recorded.
My hope is that you can learn from this interview series and gain a better understanding of your life and the lives of those around you. Harnessing Your Inner Game is not intended to be medical advice, it is simply your average mans journey of self discovery. Please enjoy and live your life happy in the now moment.
Over a year ago a very close friend of mine and I sat down for what turned out to be over three hours of video interviews involving inner game. It was initially supposed to be for a project I was working on with someone else, but unfortunately that project seems to have fizzled out. There is so much tremendous content involved there I would hate to see it continue to gather dust in the archives of my mac. As such I will present it here in segments.
I’ll have to host them on youtube in ten minute increments but stick with it. Well worth it.
First I want to thank all my readers who remind me daily to continue writing about life’s little journeys that I take everyone along for the ride with me on. I super appreciate all the kind words of encouragement and even more the death threats. I’ll do my best now to start focusing on writing more often even if its just a quickie update. Personally I think the proliferation of social media types like Twitter, Facebook and the likes have really started to draw me away from what life has to offer. While its important to keep in contact with friends as relationships are as only good as the effort put forth, there needs to be a line drawn. I’ve noticed that more and more I find myself not calling friends on special occasions as long as I can make the “connection” on the social media site. In essence the social media is pulling me further away of my goal of being even more social than my charming self will allow.
While I still make it out into the real world quite often, more so than what I am going to presume many of you dear readers, I do find that its so much easier to actually sit and watch twitter or facebook than it is to reach out and make a connection. As many of you, if not all of you, know that I have practiced social dynamic life artistry skills to help me seduce the world. While many younger guys might only see this as an application to seduce women, learning these skills offers so much more. The ability to understand the human engagement as an opportunity to delve into the psyche is an amazing journey of all our senses and furthers communications. Having the knowledge is nothing less than what my good friend Dan says; “A super power.” Yes Dan it is indeed.
I’ve been very successful at honing in on my unique rapport abilities and conditioning myself to engage in every opportunity to get out of the house and socialize. I was never a shy person, except maybe in my early childhood days, but as Milton Ericson so eloquently put it, shyness is a defensive mechanism to protect us from the big-bad-wolf, AKA the world. Perhaps in childhood I was simply protecting myself form the inequities of the tyranny of evil men. After I learned that it was I who held all the cards to the world I not only got out of my shell but I bloomed into a social beast.
This leads me to about a couple of weeks ago. I met a really sweet babe who I have a lot in common with. We have been playing a game for a while and it was so easy for me to do that thing that I do. It wasn’t about getting facebook info or her number as its second nature to do so. What I found kind of weird this time around was, even knowing full-well she wanted for me to call her (She insisted I take her number) it was still easier for me to contact her on facebook. Then came the texting and just this past week I finally called her. I knew she wanted to talk and never before has it been an issue for me to call anyone before, and I do mean never before. It’s like all of a sudden its just gotten easier to not communicate with people face to face and rather chat or post on their wall. This way there really can be no consequences to our actions as really even though they are our words they are unattached to who we really are.
It’s my view that social media is in actuality anti-social media that allows us to behind the anonymity that the Internet leads us to believe. Yes while I completely understand that in essence Facebook offers us no privacy as that goes, we still do not suffer the consequences of our actions from face-to-face encounters. I for one will be more cognisant of my online interactions using the so called social media venues and will thus far prefer human interaction. Rather than focusing on Facebook interactions I’ll focus more on my life’s journey here on my blog.
And soon we shall be back in business
To celebrate my big 42nd birthday, its tough for me to even fathom my age, a camping trip to the most wonderful, bestest place on all this Earth: Spring River, just outside of Mammoth Springs Arkansas, the other Kansas.
