Today, we are unpacking a simple model from Armenian mystic, George Gurdjieff.

🎙️Episode Highlight: If The Secret is So Great, Where's My Ferrari? 🎧Welcome back, fellow agents! In this episode we are diving into the magic of non-linear generative engagement. Join me as we explore how shifting our mindset and embracing the complexity of reality can lead to both a more fulfilling and rewarding existence. We discuss little of the metaphysics of the matter, focusing more on the pragmatics (particularly what can be learned from the process of creatives and improvisors). From manifesting our desires to studying luck and the magic of surprises, we'll uncover the secrets to unlocking our greatest potential.🔍 Episode Contents:* Acknowledgement to Jamie Smart for the episode title* Views on "The Secret" and manifestation* Engaging non-linearly with life leads to a more rewarding and easier experience* Many people have limitations and erroneous beliefs that prevent them from creating in a lighter way* The metaphysics of engaging non-linearly* The metaphysics are not 'supernatural'* Humans believe they can understand how the world works, but many interdependencies are unknowable* Lessons from improvisation* Improvisation involves adapting and responding to the actions of your partner* Whilst newer improvisers often try to force the scene in a particular direction, this never works* A sense of possibility and direction is important, but one must avoid outcome attachment* Nonlinear engagement is practically grounded in the triangulation of intention, action, and opportunity* The linear approach, involving goal, planning, and control leads to overcome reality* The power of thoughts and beliefs and self-fulfilling prophecy* The concept of "as we think, so we are" and "as a man thinketh" is introduced* Whilst we cannot always change circumstances immediately, we can always change our engagement with them which puts us on a different path* The promise of new thought is that by changing our vibratory frequency, we can attract different things* This concept may not be literally true, but it can still be a useful model for understanding how our thoughts impact our reality* Phineas Quimby and the origins of New Thought* Creating with all that that comes up in life* 'The Luck Factor' by Richard Wiseman as a psychological explanation of the Law of Attraction* Why a more magical take beats out the psychological take* Rational analysis can kill the magic and inspiration* Psychological explanations like Richard Wiseman's Luck Factor nonetheless can provide food for the rational mind* To live in a nonlinear way, one served by going beyond psychological explanations and opening to the concept of higher forces within the universe that are not necessarily understood by humans* The power of appreciation and abundance* Those who see more possibilities in the world will find more opportunities* Appreciating what one has in life attracts more abundance, while focusing on lack diminishes it* The deeper truth of the Matthew principle: “To those who have yet more shall be given, and they shall have abundance; but to those who have not, even what they do have shall be taken away.” (Matthew 25:29)Grab your headphones and get ready, because it's time to embark on another adventure with the Agents of Everything!Until we next connect,James TrippP.S.If you are getting goodness from Agents of Everything and would like to enrich that further, I'd love to have you join the AoE Nexus - Monthly live Open Frame calls + an extensive archive of self and life creation audios and videos.

🎙️ Episode Highlight: Doomer Optimism (While You Were Sleeping, How the World Went and Changed!) 🎧In this episode of the Agents of Everything podcast we dive deep into the topic of how we meet volatility and major change in the world, looking at the whole show through the lens of "Doomer Optimism." Life itself is is a constant state of movement, growth, and flow, so seeking an end point of equilibrium is very much contrary to the very essence of existence - yet this seems to be what we so often do. And so, when we think we have our game down only for the world to shift under our feet, it can unsettle us somewhat (to say the least).The world IS changing, perhaps at a faster rate that at any point in history, so how is not going to unfold? And do we have to just hope for the best?In this episode I will argue that optimism is unnecessary when we embrace our innate ability to adapt and create with the world even as it changes. While the world undergoes radical transformations, we have the opportunity to live a good life here and now - alive, light, and creative.🔍 A Brief Tour of the Episode:* Life is alive; it moves and changes* Geopolitical volatility, climate change, aliens and AI's impact on society* Our desire for equilibrium is paradoxically counter to the essence of life* "Doomer optimism" and the potential unraveling of life as we know it* An Optimism upgrade takes us from merely hoping for change, to embracing our power to adapt and create* Change is inevitable, and we should live into it as it unfolds rather trying to prepare for it's impact* Living a good life means being alive, light, and creative* Should we be Doomer Optimists?* The end of the world is just the beginning* Preparing Vs Living* Tucker Max's Doomer Optimism* When life hands you "buckets of rat soup"* Is self-development only preparation?* We can live into our limitations or transcend* The philosophy of creating with what comes up* Adaptiveness Vs Adaptedness* Stressing the importance of adaptiveness in complex and uncertain times* Discussing the challenges faced by military veterans and the significance of adaptation* Letting go to retap adaptiveness; not holding onto disappearing things* Adaptiveness of children and the potential for adults to embrace it* Importance of letting go and living in a creative and flexible way* Embracing Flexibility for Navigating Change* NLP and requisite variety* Need for a loose grip, the ability to flow, and letting go of rigidity and safety-driven thinking* Critique of geopolitical predictions and exploration of civilizations falling and transitioning* Critique of the bunker mentality and solely preparing for dark futures* Aligning with who we choose to be and meeting with challenges as they arise* The message of Alan Moore's "Promethea" Join me in this exploration and please do share your thoughts, ideas, and stories of adaptation and creation via the comments. Let's navigate through these uncertain and complex times as true Agents of Everything, creating with what comes our way and dancing good results out of reality!Stay adaptive, embrace change, and keep your grip loose!Until we next connect,James Tripp This is a public episode.
