Primes@F-L-O-W
In the Theory @F-L-O-W, Teachable Points of View, we
call TPOVs, are arranged in a manner much like a periodic
chart of elements. These elements then form combinatorial
beliefs, attitudes, worldviews, values, and behaviors.
In this essential program @F-L-O-W, as we did in the
book, we outline what we call the PRIMES. These PRIMES
@F-L-O-W are designed to give you a quick set of tools,
filters, and if you will biases with which to immunize
yourself as quickly as possible against the Blank Slate
Virus, or
BS for short.
This is critical because the
design in BS is to manipulate you, using your own
irrational beliefs as the basis from which to control your
consumptive behavior. By switching you out of needs to
wants, a panoply of experience can obfuscate or cloud your
intrinsic purpose.
Colluding with our irrational
nature for more, BS undermines our ability to say YES and
NO to people, places, and things which all serve to
ingratiate us towards increased consumption to keep you in
the rat race, and on the merry-go-round, chasing your
tail, or your grail; both are the same.
Happiness
is NOW, but always postponed by BS, as we are influenced
through “propaganda machines created by those (all of us
involved in the consumption-affluence paradigm) who
benefit from your inconspicuous consumption.
In the
world that is emerging, resources — at least those in
traditional formats — are going to reach limits.
Consumption and the affluence design correlated with it,
to create the good life, will literally have us at each
other’s throats as we compete for these resources, rather
than collaborating, peering, sharing, and glocalizing,
which is more closely matched with our innate purpose — to
be alive.
What the PRIMES @F-L-O-W provide is a set
of guiding elements which are easy to learn, understand,
and grow within yourself to come back home to yourself and
leave the influencing tactics of the advertising gurus
object, at least, so you create some space between your
life, work, and relationships and a society which is
driven almost purely, now, by the needs to grow bigger,
more affluent, and devise because of the distancing of the
haves and have-nots.
This is not some “never buy
anything again, live like a survivalist” paradigm!
What PRIMES @F-L-O-W provide is guidance for necessary
consumption — each to his own — while being respectful of
those who are not as fortunate.
Life Is GOOD
@F-L-O-W, and better because of our lessening dependence
on growth — as more, as the only way to solve problems.
Our greatest gift @F-L-O-W is to eliminate problems,
rather than consuming resources to solve them.
