Aesclepius


Who I thought highly of at one time and can consider a person to look up to and apply towards the meditative practice I think I only feel partial of after going through this class and referencing other books.  The more time passes, I think there is a collaboration of people that I can apply this towards.  For instance, the one person I work with I look up to greatly, but now I do not hold the same values as the company that I work for has.  However, his choice of words and motivational tendencies I take in with speech.  So now comes the time I need to create a figure as time evolves and my values evolve to keep me on the path to health, happiness and wholeness.  Overall, I have been able to effectively apply these meditative practices decently.  As our directional does explain, this will be something to adapt to and learn.  Continued practice is the only way I will be able to effectively foster great health and wellness by these means.

     The saying “one cannot lead another where one has not gone himself” has a lot to offer.  What I see that can be concluded from this is maybe how can we tell people to engage in a certain behavior if we do not do it ourselves?  I like the map statement right before that in our book of how having a map of Hawaii is not like actually being there (Schlitz, 2005).  I’m going to try and explain what I go through a lot.  With our time frame at this time in our lives, we plan many trips in advance.  Once planned I become obsessed with map applications on my phone (I know..Technology has gotten a hold me a little).  I zoom in to see what Google maps tracked last and try to get an idea of what things look like before I get there.  Then when we go and come back and do the same thing, I have a different solid knowledge of what is actually there.  So when we tell people to develop their psycho spiritual parts of their lives and we don’t, what do we have to back up what we say?  We have an idea about it from our book.  So now let’s do it and once we go and stay instead of come back, we will have a lot to offer.
