The Cup

What a great call last night!  Thanks to everyone who participated.  We explored the 3 primary conditioning patterns that cause the Illusion of Not Enough.   These patterns are the evidence that we're in scarcity. 

The 3 primary conditioning patterns for the Illusion of Not Enough are:

  • More -- looking for more of anything to fill a perceived void inside yourself
  • Storytelling -- the conditioned stories we identify are ours that run our lives and keep us from doing what we can do
  • Contingency -- "If I get that job, then I'll finally be happy . . ."  The habit of looking for something outside of ourselves or someone else to fill our void

The highlight for me in last night's call was the conversation around the experiental patterns (more on these in future posts) that replace these conditioning patterns.  Here they are:

  • Capacity - Personal RAM + Creative Energy + Flow
  • Greatfulness - Gratitude + Appreciation + Greatness
  • Catalyst - Initiating movement in alignment with your ideals

No, that's not a typo.  I really do intend to spell Greatfulness in that way.  I loved the conversation around this experiental pattern.  Here's how I explain the concept of Greatfulness:

Coffee_cup    Those living in scarcity see the cup as half empty. 

    Those living in abundance see the cup as overflowing.

    Those who are living in greatness ARE the cup.

Can you view yourself as the cup?  What possibilities does this open for you?  Would this change how you're showing up everyday?

HI Red,

I LOVE this:

Capacity= Personal RAM + Creative Energy + Flow

What a cool definition. What a great way of saying why I am not available right now...I have not the capacity LOL! The creative energy and flow got me. I really like all the spicey new use of old vanella language you are playing with. I really see The "CP"'s and "CB"'s as a way of a quick personal inventory to check in with a measurement for scarcity vs. abundance. Kind of like a drive thru self coaching moment. What CP did I just run or which CB will I use?

How cool to be a "Mind Bender".

The "CUP" idea rocks- with my LOVE for personal responsibility and us being "CAUSE" not "the cause" but cause-it is a great image.

I loved the call last night. So many people stepping up to contribute. I know with exciting people like this and the material, as the new group coaching class gets filled it is going to be quite the ride!
