Here's a little taste of the introduction for a new free online mini course, "Who's Minding Your Mind?" I will be offering sometime this Fall/Winter.
Let’s get
started with a little story:
Three employees from the same firm walk into a bar
together, a professor, a zombie and a monk.
After
they sit next to each other at the bar the bartender asks the professor, “What
do you do?”
The
professor myopically focuses on the bartender through thick glasses, and proudly
answers, “I am an analyst. I research endlessly, compare one fact to another,
and come to excruciating carefully debated and then logical conclusions.
Analysis is I my life.”
The
bartender turns to the zombie and asks, “What do you do?”
The
zombie rears forward toward the bartender, eyes rotating wildly in his scarred
face. With saliva dripping from torn and bloody mouth he hisses at the
bartender and growls his answer, “What do I do?” he responds, his voice rising
into a rant. “What do I do? You actually ask me what I do?” And he starts screaming
now at the top of his lungs.
“I
REACT! That’s what I DO!” And breathing heavily the zombie sits back down
glaring wildly at the bartender.
The
bartender, used to all sorts of characters who come into his bar just turns calmly
to the final employee and asks, “What do you do?”
The
monk serenely answers, “Nothing. I just am.”
Then
the bartender intrigued in spite of himself, asks them all one last question,
“What company do you all work for?”
The
professor sits up straighter, the zombie sneers and glares, hands on the
counter ready to pounce, and the monk closes his eyes and gently smiles.
They
answer together, “Your Mind.”
Look for this new mini course on how your mind really works and how to make it work miraculously.
