I bumped into an attention-grabbing wrinkle this week. It actually opened my thoughts. I used to be eager about individuals who inform the identical tales, time and again, yr after yr. The identical anecdotes. I see this in households, however not mine. The individuals in my household wouldn’t be caught lifeless, recalling the identical occurring, again and again. What is that this?
I discovered, individuals do that as a result of the tales are a part of their id. They’re reference factors in a shared actuality. This made complete sense. It’s tribal. If you understand this story, you have been there. The telling of those tales are a part of a ritual. Additionally, these conversations are are low threat and cozy for all. This appears positive, however then what’s mistaken with my household?
At first I believed we have been all type Jupiter Uranus varieties. Touring to the brand new! We don’t need to keep in place, once we can skip forward! We are able to additionally pattern-match. This makes it simple for us to tie the present story to the prior story and the story previous to that. Settler vs explorer mindsets.
However then I spotted it was greater than that. My households cognitive fashion is predictive and ahead modeling. My sister, being psychic and my getting on the cellphone with individuals and telling them what to anticipate.
Even this authorized case. There are quite a few recorded calls through the years, the place I inform this firm, “You gained’t get away with this without end… they day will come the place you’ll be caught.” I used to be telling them this, twenty years in the past.
Now I perceive, I can see this stuff resulting from my approach pure of considering. Mercury conjunct Mars within the ninth. After all my thoughts can compute the longer term. Damned attention-grabbing!
What about you? Settler? Or Explorer?
