Continued from a comment I made myself under the Bewitched post:
Besides it is not just what you can *get* (with special powers), but what you can *do*.
Why limit yourself? I bet most pets are perfectly happy, but would you limit yourself to the life of a pet?
Many might say the human life holds all they would ever want, but isn't that just like the pet having finally convinced itself there is nothing for it outside that fence?
Self-limitation? This is too elementary. You aren't even talking about methods for neutralising one's limiting beliefs, but merely the existence of them. "Why limit yourself?", you say. Why indeed.
ReplyDeleteOnly about 104,345 "self-help" books sold on Amazon have published this "revolutionary" discovery.
Captain Eo, you can write better.
C'mon, dude, I have mentioned methodology often.
ReplyDeleteemotrance.com springs to mind.
But this one is more about the basic attitude, which I consider by far the most important.
there are limits to everything actually. how many things can you do at once anyway? bewitched was only make-believe like I dream of jeannie.
ReplyDeletei would prefer the jeannie in the bottle over the witch in the suburbs lol.
Why limit yourself?
ReplyDeleteIgnorance is a true blessing. You don't have to do anything... things "happen" to you, therefore, you are not to blame.
When you assume the responsibility, you also know you create your own existence and taking decisions is not always easy. Sometimes we just don't want the consequences of our decisions... and we give our power away.
I think this is deep down the reason why a lot of people don't go that road and limit themselves. It is easy to blame others, heaven, gods or bad luck... it requires no effort either.
Not everbody wants freedom. Having "a master" is comfy.

What, you mean the Boogeyman behind my door is all in my mind??? Well, how about THAT for breaking news! I am SO telling him off! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI already mentioned my pet cat. Extremely affectionate. (He's currently lying on my arm, making typing uneasy, because he's a bit jealous of the time and attention I give to the computer.) But he also goes outside freely, and can spend a whole day God-knows-where exploring the vast forest.
This is one very happy pet who still NEEDS to go beyond the fence. Contented, yet always seeking stimulation and discovery. (Or just more yummy rodents, perhaps?) There's a lesson here, I believe.
We bipeds can be so needlessly complicated at times!...
