Not sure whatās up with the cake (Gaia chose it š¤·š»āāļø) and too lazy (no energy for it) atm to try to make sense and edit/format this.
Pasting here anyway :)
āProfile is wonderful, because it really lets you know. It lets you know if you are being correct. It lets you know. Itās like those moments when somebody comes up to me and Iām instantaneously paranoid. Thatās being a 5. And my paranoia comes out as, āWhat do they want?ā
The moment I hear myself go through that processāitās not like itās set, itās just a moment of sensation, but Iām translating what that sensation isāthe moment that happens, Iām really content. Iām a 5/1. Thatās the way Iām meant to be. And the moment that I donāt have that when somebody stands in front of me, thereās some- thing wrong. Iām not living out my nature.
The beauty of having a signpost is that you can see it in your day-to-day life. I deal with it all the time.
I go to the cash,it costs a Euro 53 and I give the maten Euro bill. Their projection on me is that I should have change. And when whoever it is says to me, āDonāt you have change?ā because thatās what I get, because theyāre projecting on my 5. And when that happens, I love it. Thatās me, man. You expect change from me? And I go, āNo, donāt have change,ā piss them off.
Then you know, every time I go in, I have a pocketful of change. It would be the easiest thing in the world for me to just give them the exact. I never do it. Not in that shop. And she gets so angry. Every time she says to me, āDo you have change?ā āNope.ā And sometimes I try to make the bills even bigger. I really have fun.
And itās just a projection field. But itās my projection field. Itās right for me. The moment thereās that projection around me, thereās the assurance that I am living out my nature. And it is the way itās going to be. Itās like when I get all kinds of stories and rumors and this, and you hear this person said this about you and that; I love it. Itās perfect for a 5. Itās what itās all about.
If theyāre not jabbing this way and that way, making this comment and that com- ment, Iām not a 5, particularly a Clarion. Iām just not. And then you get this affir- mation and the focus isnāt on what theyāre saying. I donāt care what they say. The focus is not on what theyāre saying; itās the fact thatās whatās happening. The me- chanics are right. And the mechanics are operating correctly. You only get to notice that in every breath of your life when youāre being yourself, and then you notice it right away.
If you have a 1st line in your Profile and you donāt have an interest in looking into things anymore, youāre in trouble. You know right away that somethingās wrong, because it is what you are. Iām never going to stop being an information junkie. Iām just not. I have ten 1st lines, and a 1st line in my Profile. There is no damn way Iām ever going to get away from it. But the moment you see me and Iām not interested in whatās going on, Iām not living out my nature. Iām not.
Everything for me, everything for the 1st line is getting to that place where things are solid and the foundations are solid. When Iām not being the boss, I know some- thingās wrong, because Iām here to be an authoritarianāall those 1st linesābased on having a strong foundation. You just get to be able to deal with yourself in a way that eliminates judgment on yourself.
Itās one of the beautiful things about Profile, and the affirmation of Profile in your everyday life. This pressure goes away about what other people say or think; the comparison game. And it goes away from inside of you. āOh, I should be like that.ā Because the moment youāre living out your Profileāand again, youāre only living out your Profile if youāre living out your Strategyāwhat youāre getting is this constant affirmation. Thatās why I call them signposts. They keep on reminding you that youāre doing a good job.ā
