Be aware of reactionary and associating characteristics

Dear everyone,  

I’ve been mulling over some observations lately and wanted to share a few thoughts with you. It feels like there’s a fascinating, if sometimes puzzling, dynamic at play in how our world works.  Please be aware of the following:

The true nature of the problem includes reactionary adaptive planning. Others have construed this phenomenon to be the weaponization of the law, research, policy, regulations, and the Bible.   Another related phenomenon is associating particular characteristics based on geography, family heritage, and proximity to certain people.   Inheritance is one of those concepts where if someone has something associated with them in their lifetime, their offspring can have it associated with them as well. The same list comes to mind.  The list includes alcohol, drugs, promiscuity, pornography, mental illness, physical illness, and all other characteristics that you can imagine.   If you have trouble at work, your offspring or a close associate may have the same problem. All that needs to happen is to create the conditions. No matter what your background. This pattern I’ve picked up on, which feels equally striking. It’s as if people sometimes get assigned certain traits or labels, not because of anything they’ve personally done, but simply because of where they’re from, their family history, or even just who they’re associated with. It’s almost like a conceptual “inheritance”. If someone connected to you had a particular challenge or struggle in their life, whether it’s dealing with an addiction, grappling with mental or physical health issues, or even just facing professional hurdles, it can unfortunately get attached to your own narrative. It feels like people sometimes assume these things about you, without a second thought.

The tricky part is that it doesn’t always feel like these circumstances happen organically. There are times when it seems as though conditions are deliberately set up, or specific situations are created, to make these kinds of associations and outcomes stick. It’s a bit like an elaborate setup, where the stage is prepared for a particular type of story to unfold.

And what’s truly eye-opening is that, in this kind of environment, pretty much anyone can get caught up in it, regardless of their personal character, their background, or how they were brought up. I just wanted people to be aware of this situation in case something happens in their own lives.   

Best,
