Projection is one of the most common psychological quirks and one that greatly enhances our existence once we learn how it operates in our lives. Projection, simply put is when we see some aspect of our selves which we are not conscious of in the behaviour or character of other people, generally in an exaggerated manner. Most of the time these aspects of which we are unaware are negative as we generally have the most difficulty seeing our own faults. Of course, there are always some positives which are unconscious and projected. People with low self-esteem tend to project the most positives. Projection gives us an opportunity to discover missing parts of ourselves. Maybe you are saying to yourself, but I don’t want to discover bad things about myself. Well, you can’t correct a fault that you are unaware of. Many of these invisible faults can become strengths when we have conscious awareness enough to harness them.

One place where we can leverage our effort to reduce victim playing effectively is in our language patterns. We can eliminate the tendency to use blame language and make a habit of using responsibility patterns.

Probably the worst offender is the word “should.”

The video above, along with Fenris23's latest post Playing the Victim have given me an idea towards blending Graphic Facilitation with Sigilry and Servitor creation.

The biggest roadblock to attracting what you want is if you indulge in the victim mentality. The victim is someone that dwells on what they don’t want. They abdicate their responsibility for their own lives and with it their power over it. They don’t live their lives, their lives happen to them. A result of holding this mindset is the never-ending search for people to blame for their suffering, for the cardinal sin is to blame the victim.

The phrase, ’set, setting and dosage’ originally comes from the psychological studies of psychedelic substances by researchers such as Timothy Leary. Dosage refers to the need to carefully calibrate the amount of the substance to the person taking it in order to achieve desired effects. Setting is making sure the dosage is taken in the appropriate environment to enable acceptable responses. Set is the mental frame that the participants approach the experience with to create the intended results. One of the keys of reality hacking is the awareness that these concepts can be applied to more than just substances.

Synchronicity is like a layer of reality beneath the everyday surface that we interact with in our day to day state of mind.  Jung identified it as an acausal connecting principle between events that are not causally linked in material space/time. The normal experience of synchronicity is that of an irruption of meaning that manifests in reality through coincidental occurrences. The connecting principle is associative as events in space/time are experienced as connected by the human capability of pattern recognition. These associations tend to be highly symbolic revealing the mythic or archetypal nature of the synchronicity experience. They tend to be constructed of unconscious material at the border of the personal and collective.

The law of attraction, commonly referred to as The Secret, has become a popular conceit of the modern mindset. The idea behind it is that by maintaining a positive vision of what you want along with the proper mindset you can attract what you want to you. While how it functions is still a mystery, examples of it in my own life have been far too prevalent and in some cases dramatic for me to ignore it. The effect seems to be strongly connected to synchronicity and to operate in accordance with cybernetic principles. What follows are some of my tips and techniques for working with the law of attraction.

A good bit embarrasing for a carpenter*chuckle*

A few items, first, to give context; My time at home is spent in the 'yard'. I go indoors, if needful or feel like doing so. It is a shelter, useful in heavy rain, or to sleep, though I am often to be found sleeping in the yard (oftimes in the roomy tent), with one or all of three dogs aside me, (and me covered in misquito repellent, if not in the tent, lol). I have a small camper trailor, and rent the property and a larger trailor. This larger trailor and the source of my current injury, became over the years a storage area. (for awhuile I did not live here, but kept the place.) In the hallway of this place was a hole in the floor that I ignored; I walked over it. I did not fix it. (deliberate not so blind spot?)

Yesterday afternoon, this bit of 'reality' and I met closely, intimately. LOL  Me left leg all the way to me arse did go thru the floor and the leg through the piping underneath. After everything stopped moving, and I ascertained that nothing was broken, merely bruised and torqued,   I laughed at meself, here I am , a carpenter stuck up to hir arse in the floor of an area of hir own lair!

 Needless to say, a bit sore, and lesson learned *chuckle*
