    Cooperative Companionship vs Competitive Detachment and Ways of Seeing the World

    Let's begin to pay attention to the ways we see the world.  These ways are given to us often before our brains are developed enough to make a conscious choice. For instance, how do you define a person? How do you define a relationship? How do you define an event?  Or what is your attitude toward change?  Many of the issues that my clients deal with have to do with these hugely important decisions.  Let's begin to acknowledge and build our character to now consciously choose how we see the world, rather than continue to use perhaps outdated and even destructive (to ours and perhaps others self-esteem, etc.) ideas that we didn't even know we were accepting (and really didn't have much choice about) when we were young. Researcher Darcia Narvaez has begun to cast amazing light on this subject and has given us the concepts of cycles Cooperative Companionship vs Competitive Detachment.  For the vast majority of human existence, according to Narvaez, we have been in a cycle of cooperative companionship.  It's only been more recently that we have found ourselves in a cycle of competitive detachment and this seems to be leading us more and more to a destructive place where there are a few "haves" and the rest are "have nots".

    Listen to Chapter 17 of my Best Seller, Leap: But How Will I Live, Eat or Pay for Gas? A Journey from Fear to Freedom-COVID 19 EDITION

    Our current world situation (especially with Covid-19) is one where more and more people are feeling afraid and victimized. Many people are asking, “But how will I live, eat or pay for gas, support my family, own a home, or pay medical bills?” Every day in my office I see people who are struggling to stay afloat—financially, physically, psychologically, emotionally, relationally. I have always believed there has to be a better way—and there is. Consider for a moment why, out of all the other choices of reading/listening material you had, something guided you to pick up this book and read/hear these words. What is that something? And what if we learned how to follow that guidance? You and I were born with a magnificence that few can imagine. Even fewer learn how to become accountable for this magnificence. As far as I know, we are the only entities on the planet, or anywhere for that matter, who can take a thought and turn it into a manifestation. In other words, take nothing and create something. Could it really be that we can create our own reality? I decided to find out once and for all by doing an experiment on myself. Follow me on my journey and then decide for yourself… To keep up with me and all of what I do, appearances, my classes and groups, please go to www.stevenkeeler.com or email me at info@stevenkeeler.com
