I write on this blog what I feel inspired to write, when I feel inspired to write it, in no particular order. I hope you'll enjoy the fuzzy logic behind it too.

I ask the part of me....

The other day, I introduced the ‘ I surrender’ option, which activates a meta-search on all your recent search queries, especially useful when you feel, somewhere down the investigative road, that your queries haven’t lead to fulfilling results.

Today, I’ll introduce a closely related option you can use ‘ on the fly’ of everyday life.

Because sometimes, you simply are not in a position to mull over various options, look into them and then apply a hindsight on an extensive search process. At times, you are in the thick of it, finding yourself right in the middle of a challenging or unusual situation with which you have got to deal ‘right away’.

Just jump in and ‘see what happens’ is likely to produce various outcomes: some with relief:” Pwew, that wasn’t so bad after all, I dealt well with it.”.... some with regrets and disappointments:” OMG... I should have done, I could have done, but instead I did..... I wish I dealt differently with it, in hindsight.”
To increase the likelyhood of the former to happen, over the latter, asking the Knowing to help you ‘on the fly’, helps you for hindsight to kick in before it is too late to deal with it in a better way.

It is like wandering around in a foreign unknown big city where you don’t speak the language.
You can just go and “see what happens”, looking for clues whenever you might need them ( signs in the street, landmarks...and trying to make yourself understood with pointing at things).

But what if you had a smart phone with you with various apps: a plan of the town indicating using GPS on any given time where you are right now?
Highlighting the point of interests as you walk past them, customized to your personal likes?
Access to reviews on the museum you like the look of, but find quite expensive... would it be worthwhile?
Access to translating programs, maybe even to such an extended that you can use it as a translator to speak directly with any of the locals: you speak your language to the machine... it speaks ‘ local’.... the other person replies to the machine in his/her language and you get this reply as clear as day in your own language.
You are in a position of using the available ‘ Intelligence’, on the fly, increasing the possibility that you have a jolly good time: you are not making a fool of yourself, you don’t stress for getting lost and don’t waste money and time on a museum that has a fancy flyer, but is promising more than actually delivering.

And if you use it wisely it is adding to the joy of your stay.
Wisely..... I would see as:” Don’t hide behind it and don’t cling to it all the time, forgetting to looking at other things than the device.....” Because then you might miss the experience of the town itself even while you are there, which seems to me completely besides the point of being there in the first place....!

For using the intelligence of the Knowing, you don’t need a smart phone to run similar apps.
How convenient, you are the device you need here, always at hand.

But like the smart phone isn’t doing anything much for you if you don’t look at it, customize it and act upon its indications... the Knowing isn’t either.

If you are curious about this ‘on the fly’ feature, you need to ask for it to ‘ open’ and reserve some attention on the indications you get and act upon them.

How to ask for it to open?
It is a simple speech recognition command:
“ I ask the part of me who can happily and confidently deal with this situation to take the lead”.
“ I ask the part of me who can happily and confidently deal with this situation to take the lead”.


You can apply it at any given time.
The Knowing detects, like a GPS knows where you are, what ‘ this situation’ is, providing you with all information that is known about this situation, customized to your (known) likes and dislikes and capacities (as your own experience stands) .
Drip feeding the necessary information to you in such a way that ‘ happily and confidently’ can be maintained, never ‘ in the way’ of experiencing the real experience... but enhancing it.....since that is what you are after to experience, even in an unknown, potentially challenging situation.

How to act upon what relevant information comes through, be aware of it?

See how the phrase is constructed.
I ask the part of ME.......to DEAL........

I am giving myself permission to implement  (act upon) the information as it comes through, used by whichever part of me would have the most experience in confidently taking the lead. 

That means that my conscious mind doesn’t have to figure out all the time which app needs to be on top of my screen now, which information is most relevant now or how to respond in the most beneficial way!
It is allowing for all the appropriate information to flow and shift naturally, as the situation unfolds, taking all I am, right now, into account.
My conscious mind can in a way ‘ sit back and enjoy the ride’, still  being fully in charge, fully response able, but also not wasting time and energy while interacting with the situation.

Be aware:
This command works until you re-call it, either in words or actions.
That means that by the time your conscious mind start s to actively figure things out for itself (again), fixing a certain aspect onto the top screen of its attention, it stops the flow and natural shift of the ‘on the fly’ customized information stream and also stops it to be implemented right away.

Which is fine, of course.
Just keep this snippet of information in mind, before you come to the conclusion trying this feature that ‘this doesn’t work for me’.
Because it does, it does for everybody since it is part of the packet, part of your built in operating system. But not if you specifically ask it not to, by doing the work yourself , withdrawing the permission to implement information on the fly and this way stopping this ingenious intelligence system to work for you ( with you would be more accurate, I’d say).

If your current customized setting is ‘ no automatic changes allowed’ ( all decisions have to go past me ( the conscious mind).. then .... it follows your lead.
If your current customized setting is ‘OK with outsourcing all the practicalities as long as they are in line with my highest values, desires and levels of expertise’ ( that where the happy and confident comes in), then it’ll flow harmoniously (again).

Conclusion, it follows your lead, always.
Hurrah..... responsibility, in charge, at all times!
I find it makes responsibility a joy rather than a burden: increasing responseability in any given situation.


Personally, I can recommend using it.
And so I just did.
