Modern Survivalism

One of the greatest joys in life is to learn new things and gain increased awareness of our world. Being conscious and aware is what this mental energy is all about.

We use this energy when we absorb and learn from our environment. We develop it by becoming walking question marks. We are curious and listen to others learning all we can. At first we are accepting of what others say without question. Authorities tell us what to do and we do it. Each human is highly suggestable and responds to external authorities. Mental energy is developed as we make mistakes and learn from those mistakes.

This energy is not creative except in the ability to learn. At first we make mistakes and don't learn from them. As we acquire more of this energy we learn and don't repeat them. As life experience accumulates we devise strategies and systems that get us through each situation. These are mental programming tasks like how to drive a car or ride a bicycle. The more mental energy we have, the more complex our mental programs.

The human brain works like a computer program. Instead of treating each situation as  unique we devise "formulas" to get the things we want. At first we try old behavior patterns to see if they will work in new situations. Later we take  "formulas" from successful people and try to make the "formulas" work for us. When they don't work we learn from the mistakes and alter the "formula" until it works. We all have a tendency to use old behaviors in new situations. A truly successful "formula" will get a person what he wants.

The magnetic charm or appeal this person has comes from a well polished and perfected "formula" that allows him to be the best at whatever he does. This is the smooth talker that can charm the opposite sex and break hearts. This is the business person that is highly proficient and productive in his job or skill. This person uses a "formula" to become an expert and is highly predictable. He can not easily deviate from his "formula" and may become "trapped" in it when it doesn't work. The more developed this astral body is; the more adaptive, resourceful and universal our "formula" becomes.

In summary first we absorb and learn from our environment. After we understand what is expected we try doing things and fall flat on our faces because of inexperience. We are easily influenced by "Authority figures".Ulitimately we find doing what other people tell us to do is not rewarding and does not bring us closer to our hopes and dreams. That is when we begin the slow and hard task to devise "programs" that work for us.

It's easy to admire the person that is tallented and "slick". We want to become like them because they make it look so easy. The danger lies in becoming stuck in behavior patterns that no longer work. A good goal is to become highly skilled and adaptable at the same time. A well rounded education and general knowledge gives a solid foundation for specialized knowledge.
