Leading Expand The Box & Possibility Labs

You might at this point be asking yourself if you have indeed done enough of these things to be considered a Possibility Trainer. There may be a part in you wondering if you have done better than someone else, or worse. Both stories are wrong.

As Captain Jack Sparrow says, “The only rules that really matter are these: what a man can do and what a man can’t do.” (This of course especially also applies to women... I’m sure…)

In any case, nobody can do any of these things for you.

More interestingly, nobody can stop you from doing them.

What I ask is, what could you do right now? What could you arrange to do this afternoon? And tonight?

Harbigaar!

When you gain more power to navigate spaces, to go nonlinear, and to be unhookable, the vampires perceive your new juiciness and start salivating just to get a little bite into your neck. Every tool and distinction that lands in your energetic body and builds matrix for your Queen, Warrioress, Sorceress and Communicator (King, Warrior, Magician, and Communicator) also empowers the freedom of choice of your Gremlin. Soon your Box is untouchable, and your Gremlin knows it and wants to dance freely with all the demons. A little before then would be a good time to make an irrevocable and drastic life decision: to use your Gremlin to catch your Gremlin in his own tricks. Dedicate your Gremlin to taking your Gremlin apart so that Gremlin serves your Bright Principles, your Pearl, and your Archetypal Lineage rather than itself. If the alcohol demon is in the works, you won’t have much chance to rededicate your Gremlin. He will be too busy celebrating in the shadow of his new master. Tobacco is similar. If you smoke, the nicotine will call you outside on its own timing. This means that if you are leading a delicate and precise process and have to go fifteen minutes past break time to perform an excellent surgery as Trainer, the nicotine will take more and more of your attention away from the job until you choose the cigarette over the person on the mattress, and then your career is lost. Read the chapter in Radiant Joy Brilliant Love on sexual energy and you will understand why computer sex is on the list above. Being a Trainer means paying in ways that other people can’t imagine would make the least bit of sense. Paying full price is one of the sacrifices of being a Possibility Trainer. You get to be the janitor, the sweeper (as in the book Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett – it’s on the reading list…). Secret lives are only secret to those maintaining the illusion that what they do is not visible to everyone around them. The highlights of a Trainer’s life are disillusionment and nothingness… which become astonishing and glorious when you learn how to properly use them… which is what TLabs are for.

2. A first-time PLab Trainer should have delivered at least five ETBs and ongoingly lead at least two or three ETBs a year. They should have their own website online, should write a regular blog to leave a trail of their own evolution, should send out regular bi-weekly newsletters with distinctions and experiments to feed their growing database of at least three-hundred contacts, should be at least outlining a book about some aspect of Possibility Management which should envisioned to be finished and published in the foreseeable future, and should give public talks, radio interviews, and workshops to continue to grow their database.

Why? Every time you deliver ETB you sense more respect for the radically responsible context of Possibility Management, its depth and breadth, its elegance and sophistication, its exquisite precision, and its practical transformational utility in daily life, relationship and business. Every time you write a blog or give a public talk or workshop you place yourself at source for deepening the body of the work, for further unfolding the context of Possibility Management. By being at source and landing communications for others you reflexively develop your skills at having one foot in each world, one foot in modern culture and one foot on the bridge to next culture.

Having one foot in each world is painful because it gives you two conflicting views. One view is inwards, revealing that modern culture – the culture you were born and raised in – is merely a story… a story which happens to be suiciding the future of humanity on planet Earth. The other view is outwards, revealing hundreds of thousands of people creating other stories to live in, some of which lead to a sustainable next culture. Modern culture is unsustainable, a false paradigm, yet next culture is to a large degree still unknown – although it works, it does not yet have majority vote.

Delivering your destiny as a PLab Trainer depends on your ability to embrace the pain of the two views while being authentic about your inauthenticity. Talks and workshops feed your circle of people and let new people find you so they can also tap into this rare and delicious source of four-body food you are providing when you are the space through which your Bright Principles do their work in the world. The people in your circle dance together with your core team to become a living organism, a complex system like a galaxy, thriving in the gameworld of Possibility Management. Stars need planets or they are just lone wolves. Planets need stars or they are just interplanetary debris. Together stars and planets synergize to become something greater than the sum of their parts.

3. A PLab Trainer should have completed a minimum of eight to ten PLabs and continues to participate in at least one PLab per year given by another Possibility Trainer. In those PLabs you participate in or help coach the big group processes and you also sit in the Possibility Chair and earnestly engage your personal development processes in public.

Why? Would you want someone leading you through processes they hadn’t done themselves? A PLab Trainer should personally participate in any big process before leading it for others. The big processes are not delivered in Trainer Labs, only in Possibility Labs, so parallel to TLabs a Trainer is also required to participate in PLabs in a ratio of about two PLabs for every one TLab. The big processes are: Appreciation (Declaration Wand), Archetypal Lineage, Archetypal Man Woman Process (getting killed and not dying), Back Forecasting, Being Safe In An Unsafe Environment, Black Hole, Box Game, Box Is Optional, Brain Surgery, Brain Types, Choose One (Choosing), Clearing Resentments, Completing Incomplete Feelings, Dangerous Questions (Asking), Death Prayer (bardo spaces), Directions, Discomfort Zone (Edgework), Discovery Speaking, Disk Of Nothing (Unhookable), Distilling Destiny (Bright Principles), Dying Process, Eat A Grape (Mind vs. Imagination, Verbal Reality vs. Experiential Reality), Entfaltungs Process, Feelings Orchestra, Four Body Scanning, The Gap (Unhookable), Garden Of Woman, Goin’ Sane, Going Faster Than The Speed Of Time, Going Into The Mountain, Gremlin Hunting, Growing Up Process (Mom and Dad), Hidden Competing Commitments, Hidden Purpose Process (Shadow Principles), Holding Space (Center, Grounding Cord, Bubble, Workspace, Clicker), Horseshoe Feedback Loop, How To Do It, Hypernet Café, I Already Have Everything That I Need, I Am Process, Interior Redesign, Intuition Practice, Low Drama Exit, Making Time, Mind Machine, Nonlinear Story Making (Magical Transformational Stories), Oracle Yourself, Ouroboros, Past Life Vow, The Pearl, Peeling Off The Patriarchy, Phoenix Process, Possibility Listening, Possibility Speaking, Possibility Team, The Problem Is The Solution, Problems (Point And Field Attention with balls), Radical Honesty, Rage Club, Rage Hold, Reconnecting To Imagination (Trust Replacement Surgery), Relational Sitting, Relationship Space Cleanout, Repackaging, Rewiring Fear, Self Marketing (Providing Immediate Value, Legend Making, Paint The Beach), Shift Identity, Silly Walking, Sing Until The Song Sings You, Soul Retrieval And Integration Into The Chakras, Stamp Cashing, Standing Rage, Start Something, Stellating Anger, Stellating Fear, Stellating Joy (Gremlin Process), Stellating Sadness, Sword Work, Three Three Three Exercise, Unreasonable Request, The Waking State (splitting attention, putting attention on your attention), The Wall, X and U Process, etc. After you have participated in a process you can get the write-up for it from Nicola Nagel the NCRTC Archivist Nicola.Nagel@viva-essenza.com. It could be interesting for the Trainer Guild to self-organize once or twice a year a Trainer Guild Practice Lab where each Trainer who has been in a big process delivers it to those who have not, all the while giving each other constant feedback and coaching to improve delivery. Throw in a Trainerlaube here and there... couple of action films… Sounds like High Level Fun to me! Harbigaar! (By the way, Harbigaar is Pirate Language. It means, “Ahoy there Mate! I be a radically-responsible Possibility Pirate in all four bodies from next culture! I navigate spaces through the rough seas of nonlinear possibility with my Gremlin and my sword of clarity, and I feel mad, sad, glad and scared about it!” See… it’s quicker to say, “Harbigaar!”)

4. A PLab Trainer can shift a room full of ETB graduates from the culture of their daily lives to the radically-responsible, initiatory space of archearchy within the first session, and can hold and navigate that space for four days and nights (meaning essentially forever) with the sword of clarity (radical meaninglessness) and the wand of declaration (nonlinear humor).

Why? Having to shift the space yourself is certainly not fair, but who else will do it? In the end, there is only you. This is radical responsibility, remember? Sure everyone has been to ETB, but how much of ETB can they actually implement moment to moment? It takes time with lots of feedback and coaching in PLabs to implement what we learn in ETB. This means that the PLab gameworld can’t happen unless you hold and navigate the PLab space. You need to know where the context is and how your training space is doing even on breaks, even when you yourself are in the liquid state, even during night school, even when you don’t know how. One little glitch from being centered, one little reaction from your hungry Gremlin growling on the leash held a bit too loose and the space will instantly degrade from extraordinary to ordinary. It may be quite difficult to get it back off the ground and into the air again. Although the sword of clarity and the wand of nonlinear declaration will be your main tools in ETB, in PLabs you will also need your club of brute force and massive ignorance. You need it instantly and always available in order to shout through the walls of a person’s Box and be dangerous enough to make an uncompromiseable boundary that keeps the training space safe for everyone. When you first see a Trainer use the club it scares the shit out of you. When you first do it yourself you may think you have gone insane. Be that as it may, it all comes down to the fact that you are the Trainer. You are the one who knows the thoughtmaps of the next culture thoughtware. You are the guide navigating spaces, sensing the traps and the landslide zones. If your Box, your past, your childhood neediness, your Gremlin’s addictions, your unhealed wounds, your stories, your expectations, your assumptions, your blind prejudice, your conclusions or your beliefs consume energy in the space instead of you being the stellated energy source for everyone else, the training is lost and authentic initiatory processes will not occur. Nobody did it for you, and here you are, having to do it for everybody else! Feel like a victim? If you do, then the extraordinary training spaces are over, and forget about ever bringing people into archetypal spaces. Every single action mentioned here is a skill. Find ways to consistently and intensely practice your skills. What better way is there for honoring the opportunity of having been given a life, eh?

5. Before delivering your first PLab a Trainer should have participated in a minimum of two Trainer Labs, and should continue to join at least one TLab per year.

Why? TLab is a meta-training where you further develop your Trainer skills and also learn to Train Trainers. This is where you learn to source a sustainable culture based in initiatory process. Regularly coming to TLabs over the long term (I mean over decades) does two things. It gives you a chance to stay abreast of what has been developed, discovered and refined by the other Trainers, and it gives you a chance to get responsible with what you have discovered and show it to the other Trainers. The liquid states from TLabs tend to last for several months because TLab distinctions reach more to the core of who we are. And TLab spaceholder skills so radically amplify perceptions and powers of implementation that it can take awhile for the suddenly unfolded new world to become your new normal. When the Box expands so much it sometimes requires concentrated exploration efforts to find the new edges. These are fun times. You may often feel like you are in freefall in a bottomless pit, but freefall is fun, isn’t it? Human beings are designed to fly.
