In the first article I explained that the most effective way to keep you lost and away from your best life is to literally switch the polarity settings in your internal compass. This compass was designed by nature so you find your way to your best life regardless of the circumstances you’re born into. Your GPS system is not only designed  to protect you against harm, it’s also designed to make your life easier and more enjoyable as each day passes. It’s not a bullet proof vest or a super man cape. It’s actually better than that. It’s a self generating computer program that rewrites itself on second by second basis……based on what you encounter in your life. It’s the most complex computer program ever written and you need it to work if you want to be happy, healthy and wealthy.

Your compass (your genetic based internal GPS system) is based on two simple principles. 1) seek pleasure and 2) avoid pain. If your original settings are still intact you currently have untold riches in your life, your weight is perfect and you have so much love in your life that you feel like the most blessed individual to ever exist in the Universe. Since your internal GPS system lives inside every cell in your body (because it’s chemical and hormone based), you have no physical way of seeing if the polarity has been switched. If your GPS has been rewired to the opposite polarity settings of 1) seek pain and 2) avoid pleasure all you can see is the evidence that it has occurred.

Some of the evidence that your internal GPS system has been hacked and re-wired to avoid pleasure and to seek pain are:

1) You’re overweight but you don’t want to be but you can’t stop eating the food and participating in the habits that make you gain weight and you can’t figure out why you do this. You literally eat the food the kills you and cry because you don’t understand why you can’t take control of such a simple task of placing one thing in your mouth instead of another. It’s like you’re not in control of anything you’re doing.

2) You take medications yet those drugs guarantee a worsening of your health but you take them in an effort to get healthy and therefore you never get healthy. You always talk of others and how they tell you that you were born sick when the only things making you sick is what you’re doing to yourself. Regardless, you’re still confused as to why taking more and more poison and cutting out the organs you need to survive doesn’t make you healthy. You see that no one taking drugs is healthy, you see the people who are healthy take no drugs, you see that the people who are healthy don’t eat bad food and then ask doctors why they’re sick, you see that every extra drug makes you more sick and you know that every year under your doctor’s care that your health has only decreased and has never increased…………but you do it anyway. The doctor also sees this and does it anyway so you need to understand that more people than yourself  have had the polarity of their internal GPS system switched. Education is not immunity from this suffering based cycle. Oddly enough education is often where the switching takes place,

3) You don’t like your job but attend anyway. You never dreamed of that job as a child on the playground  and it doesn’t allow you any creative expression of the odd force that rises up inside you from time to time and more often as you age. You realize your job may actually be a part of the puzzle that makes our society dysfunctional but you ignore it and parrot what the people getting paid more than you say about how great the organization is, how many people it helps and how society really needs it. You see the exact opposite things happening (compared to what is promised), as no one is benefiting what so ever from the service you’re providing and it’s starting to be very obvious to you. You know you don’t like your job, you know it’s obviously producing more problems than it solves and you want to change into a way of living that would really bring happiness into your life and the lives of others…………………….but you keep going to that same job anyway. Those jobs often are involved with helping maintain the pain seeking functions of others.

Here’s a short list of other evidence someone has been rewired to seek pain and to avoid pleasure. These people are faced with the same daily decsions as anyone else but they more often than not pick the option that brings more pain into their lives because someone taught them that suffering has a benefit for them. They would do the following………..skipping meals, restrictive diets, eating disorders, restrictive belief systems, (usually relating to natural sexual function and conditional love models involving control and punishment for trying to spread love to more than one person at a time….basically you’re only allowed to love one person at a time and that never includes you loving yourself either) consuming cheap processed foods, daily coffee addiction, just no concern for the quality of what’s going into the body, person literally fights or insults anything involved with being healthy, takes immense pride and humour in hurting themselves, over eating, plastic surgeries, cosmetic enhancements, work addictions, never getting proper rest, no active relaxation, no exercise or exercise addictions, (marathons, triathlons, CrossFit etc….always a punishing style in all they do)  on sports teams the person who’s the most aggressive or the fighter often falls right into this category, (ex. Bob Probert, Derek Boogaard, Wade Belak Ryan Rypien etc), obsessions with violent videos games, violent sports, gambling, violent language, violent driving habits, they often drive sports cars/big trucks and other aggressive vehicles, physical violence, likes the UFC, conventional body building with steroids, growth hormone usage, alcohol consumption, extreme sports and extreme risk taking behaviour in regards to hurting self or other, smoking, narcotics, body piercing, inability to control temper or stay happy, elective surgeries, tattoos, reading trashy magazines, shopping addictions, obsession with guns/violence or war, works with or around the armed forces, is often a chronic volunteer who will die helping others because they never think they’re worthy of helping themselves, they would be overweight/diseased/unhealthy, constant internal negative commentary about themselves, declares disease is genetic, addicted to science in their lives and not nature, science will save the day for them and never nature/or themselves,  can’t fund raise enough while placing themselves last on the priority list, often makes a living in profession that appears to help others (like nursing/health care etc) may be in a relationship that no longer bears any love but stays because of what others will think and is never honest with self or other. That’s a short list.

The shortest test is just asking yourself if you’re happy and in love with yourself or unhappy and in pain?  You’re hard wired to avoid pain so why have you been in pain so long? The answer is the reversed programming I’m talking about.

How we doing so far? I didn’t say it was going to be easy to look at ourselves and see if we’re wired to seek pain and to avoid pleasure. The series continues tomorrow. Slow learning is needed for this topic. There’s a way to re-wire yourself to your default settings (of seeking only pleasure and avoiding pain). I will get into that eventually in the series.
