I often wonder why people do that….get divorced from an drug user and marry another drug user. Yes until a person deals with the core issue, it continues to grow and show in ones life. Taking responsibility for ones life is the key to getting out of bad situations. Sometimes help and counseling is needed, first they need to admit there is a problem.

Thanks for such great Blog Posts Randy!
We all have many layers of programing in all areas of life and in my opinion depending on our upbringing we also have some areas where we have more “not good programing” than other.
That’s the reason why some people do very good in business but their relationships not so good, good financial but health not so good etc. –
Self Image needs to be adjusted in all areas of life – this is the reason why a daily dose of Self Development is recommended it should be an ongoing process. We created our Programing our entire life. Reprogramming is not going to happen over night.

For me it’s not really about the wealth… it’s more the programming for who I am and how I was programmed that OTHERS see me.

I’ve been blown away that I let in the harsh programming of childhood into fundamental relationships. Even with therapy!!!!

The programming – as you know with me – has been so sutble – I don’t notice it, and then suddenly realise a few months later that I’m persecuting myself, and imagining that others think bad of me. Frequently it’s not true.

I am always amazed that I’ve let a negative link back into the chain that’s poisoned everything and made it stay together based on falsities I believed in childhood that disempower me…

Thanks dude…

I’m so frickin’ meme’d that my goal is just getting through the day – it’s like a pin ball bouncing off the programing either from my own history or the onslaught of the people that I interact with!
Starting with awareness as my tool, my weapon – It helps to know that they (memes) are there even if I haven’t discovered them all yet. and it’s all good.

I guess a philosophy is a set of beliefs that should not contradict each other. I don’t know what programming I have since I may not be aware of it but I have been an independant thinker as far as I remember. I’ve learned through reading these blog posts that you (Randy) have a libertarianistic philosophy which stresses individual freedom and responsibility – and minimal government involvement. I looked at some of the things that have been programmd into me.
1. Socialized Medicine is OK. I live in Canada and we have socialized medicine. I like the fact I can go to the Hospital anytime to get help and it’s free. (it’s not really free – its in the taxes) I also like the fact that I can be really ill, stay there a long time, and not lose everything due to Hospital Bills or an insurance company trying to weasel it’s way out of paying.
2. Government services such as subsidised housing is OK. This prevents slums from happening and minimizes Bad neighbourhooods which is conducive to people’s collective safety.
3. Subsidized University Education is OK. When I went to school it was only $1500 per semester ( 1990 dollars ) and a decent summer Job had me set for the whole year. This also gives childen who do not have well-to-do parents an opportunity for higher learning and, hopefully, a decent job.
4. Subsidized work programs are OK. It puts more people out in the workforce and gives them some Job skills. Less unemployment is the result.
I think these things have worked their way into my core value system.
4 1/2 . I think unemployment insurance is a good idea. But we pay it involuntarily.
5. I don’t like marginal tax rates. Let everyone pay the same rate! Why do the wealthy have to give a higher percentage of their money away?
6. I do not like paying the high taxes we do. I wish some of these services could be povided by people paying a more reasonable tax rate.
7. I also wish people could voluntarily pay whatever tax that would be ear-marked for which program they wish to participate in. For example, I would gladly give a certain percentage of my income to ensure I would get trouble free Hospitalization throughout my lifetime. But it would be my choice to participate in it or not. I would also give a certain percentage of my income to ensure my children get relatively inexpensive University Education. But it would be my choice to participate in it or not again.
The problem with all the other government programs is that they take it from me and give it to someone else without much consent on my part.

Now I am aware of all this stuff sometimes I find I just stop myself talking in mid sentence, thinking ‘where did that crap come from?’ No need to say it. Lol
Saying less and thinking more gives one room to grow I think.

oops! Sorry Randy.. I quoted Ephesians 5 but as I was folding clothes, I realized I gave you the wrong book. It’s Ecclesiastes 5 (my favorite book in the bible).

Good discussion. I will contemplate that topic for my blog as well!
