Sometimes our challenges talk to us, or for us. Till about the fourth grade, I had a lisp. A problem pronouncing t h’s. They became wifs. I was teased, ‘get wif it they said.’ I worked at my pronunciation as a reaction to the teasing. I didn’t, and still don’t like being wrong, and I had a dad, a teaser at home. School was my sanctuary and one reason I keep enrolling in the University of Gary to keep from being teased.
As I add those memories of t h’s and threes’ to the teachings from Gurdjieff, quantum physic, Toastmasters ‘Rule of Threes, and life experience, the lessons of three magnifies. Even today the San Francisco Chronicle Sports page headlined “ 3 is the Magic Number.”
From the point of view of Curing Seriousitis™, free attention is the lack of being attached to being right. Or being identified as your job, your relationship, your age, sex, any and all labeling other than being a verb, your attention is fixed.
Usually, it is our ego’s that fix our attention with the three ego traps:
1-I have to be right.
2-I can’t make a mistake.
3-I already know that.
Those are three ways to stop learning. How we lose our free attention (freedom), and believe that something, other than ourself, is in charge of our happiness.
I encourage us to look at a new, different, and meaningful way to create and maintain freedom ‘wif’ a unique spelling-3Dom.
This is 3D that really makes an impact without the silly glasses, a new and freeing way to look at life.
3 Dom to see we always have choices. That the world is not an either-or situation. Yes and no are not the only answers. It is not this or that, but something else.
3 Dom works magic teaching children. Raising a child with a harangue of “No’s” creates imprints still felt by this elder.
Giving a child another choice reinforces the magic of 3.
Find another option and share that message to the child.
Another toy and another choice exist. As friends, family, parents, and grandparents see more choices sharing 3 Dom.
“Get ‘wif’ it.
3 dom is freeing.
