<![CDATA[Chris Walker - Innerwealth - Evolve Yourself

Everybody needs to have some sort of bullet-proof process for dealing with life. The process we used when we were 15 and the most we had to worry about was bullying at school, exams and our potential sex life will not be the same process that will handle the responsibility of a family, business, financial debt, economic downturn, divorce, marriage, global change and ageing to name a few.

The 2 most common bullet-proof process people build are the turtle shell and transparency.

The turtle shell is like a bullet-proof jacket that makes us impervious to challenges, we simply keep on marching and the bullets bounce off. We achieve this bullet proof turtle shell through attachment. We attach to people, cars, businesses, sports, brand, wealth and families as a form of identity in which we are what we think. All this makes an incredibly strong defence against intrusion by challenge and disappointment. It does however leave is vulnerable if any of those things go missing. In this example we often say, “it’s not my problem” and distance ourselves from people’s opinion.

The transparent philosophy means we become detached from everything And try to smooth away any challenge. This is the compassionate path that people often take in order to avoid becoming the turtle shell. Sympathy, kindness and goodness become the core values and so if people or challenges come our way we rather help others and be compassionate for them then perceive that we have any personal investment in the problem. In other words we become transparent.

Both of these mechanisms work to a limited degree. The 1st, the turtle shell is most commonly used in conjunction with testosterone. The latter, transparency is most often used in conjunction with nonviolence and peaceful world mindsets.They both have their downside:

Turtle shells make it impossible to become close to other people. So the turtle shell person becomes impenetrable to both difficulties and affection. Unable, even in the most intimate moments, to embrace their feelings and tenderness. It’s a hard world especially when they come up against somebody else with a turtle shell just like their own. Two bullet-proof jackets that rub up against each other makes sparks that start fires. Eventually the turtle shell philosophy of dealing with life and being attached to everything a person does fails and when it does it fails hard.

Being transparent leads to tenderness and with that tenderness comes a vulnerability. That vulnerability becomes a great gift as it attracts those who need it but the individual who has chosen the transparent route ends up alone, poor and vulnerable. They’ve never marked their boundary and therefore never been able to make their mark.

Although we all have the capacity to use both of these defence mechanisms we end up favouring one of the other based on what works for us in our early years of life. Only as we approach midlife do we recognise that what worked to make us bullet-proof for the 1st half of our life will not work for the rest of it.

Innerwealth is not created from either of these options. They are instead barriers to the development of Innerwealth. The turtle shell feels like it’s impervious but in reality it’s only numb to feelings. The feelings go in and the same turtle shell that made it hard for hurt to come in and make it impossible for the feelings to get out. When a person with a turtle shell gets hurt their resentment and anger can last a lifetime. Eventually it kills them.

The person who chooses to be transparent and therefore allows everything to come in and uses their compassion and kindness for others to avoid processing their own challenges ends up a marshmallow on a tennis court. When time comes for them to live the purpose they have no legs, often obese, week and frail

Innerwealth is built to create a bullet-proof authenticity as a 3rd option to the turtle shell all the transparent philosophy. Innerwealth is natural but it requires honesty.

Where the turtle shell will say “that didn’t hurt” the person who is building in a wealth will say “that did hurt.” Where the transparent person will say “I feel sorry for them and I love them regardless” Innerwealth person will say “I wonder what I did to cause that?”

To feel what we feel feels like a waste of time. Somebody says to you “how do you feel” and you can honestly say, “it doesn’t matter” and that would save you a lot of time and keep you productive focused on the task at hand. Therefore it is understandable that we don’t want to get tangled up in the messy topic of self obsession and our feelings and emotions. However, if we have a process that continually transforms whatever we feel to a state that is healthy then each time we feel something we have an opportunity to grow our bullet-proof jacket.

Discard in the inner wealth system is like taking in all the dirty water, putting it through a purification process, dumping out the impurities and ending up with pure drinkable energy.

So instead of the turtle shell where stuff comes in but we are numb to it and therefore have no opportunity to transform it all the transparency process where everything comes in and makes us into a marshmallow, InnerwealthThrows away the turtle shell, lets everything in like the marshmallow, processes it quickly, and as a result expands Innerwealth in parallel with outer wealth.

The key here is knowing what to do with feelings generated by emotions that are responses to the thousands of things that happened to us daily. If we don’t have a process that works we have no choice but to revert to the turtle shell or transparency in order to cope. And as we’ve said before turtle shell and transparency have consequences that cause us to lose confidence, become fearful, dis-empowered and insecure. And therefore become self feeding. The more turtle shell we use the more total shell were going to need to deal with our insecurities as they grow with time. The more transparency and marshmallow we use the more were going to be disempowered and unable to draw lines in the sand and walk out path instead of being a doormat and that will trigger us to be more of a marshmallow in order to get what we want. Breaking these cycles means dealing with life from the perspective of an ever increasing Innerwealth.

You will no doubt have read about overprescription of antibiotics and the consequences to the human race. The more antibiotics we take to fight the bugs the smarter the bugs become and now they’ve found bugs that are immune to antibiotics. That means there’s a potential of an illness or disease sweeping the world without cure. We also have a range of antibiotics to the challenges of life that include the turtle shell and the marshmallow both of which lead to obesity, addiction, confusion, greed, and insatiable need for approval and the desire to escape reality.

By getting skilled at Innerwealth it might not be the easiest at 1st but what Innerwealth does is build your immunity instead of putting false resistance like an antibiotic. Innerwealth is your natural defences against your emotional reactions and mental intrusions. You become powerfully immune but not in dependency on some synthetic mechanism that if it fails you die.

In my own life I lived with fake immunity from my own feelings and emotions while building family, business, wealth, sporting success and social contribution but it was a self-limiting paradigms that when it broke it broke badly. I also realised how much energy I had wasted and how many people I had infected along the way instead of processing and growing as a human being I became more and more dependent on the coping mechanisms, my turtle shell and my marshmallow, but like the antibiotic the bugs and the challenges kept expanding and eventually became immune.

Discard is the process of maintaining a bullet-proof core. It breaks the dependency on turtle shell or marshmallow coping mechanisms and builds a deep sense of strength and power that parallels ambition for a bigger and better world. The important thing to recognise here is that the time consumed feeling feelings is wasted if those feelings are not put through a filtration process that converts them to raw and pure inspiration and purpose. Feeling feelings is self-indulgent without process.

If that process is slow then it is likely that another feeling will come on top of the existing feeling and make the whole thing totally impossible. If I’m feeling angry and then suddenly I feel sad then now I have 2 feelings but the likelihood is one will override the other and I have lost an opportunity and made the likelihood of transforming either the anger all the sadness into inspiration impossible, or at least, a very when the process.

So discard must be fast. The 1st time you do it it won’t be fast because your mind will still be attached to the turtle shell or the marshmallow process of dealing with challenges, and that’s why it requires a little tough love to get through it the 1st time.

The 2nd time will be faster and the 3rd faster again until you’ll be writing these things faster than your mind can think.

Each time you do a line of the discard process you evolve your bullet-proof jacket and therefore provide the opportunity to expand your life in any of the 7 areas of life. Unlike the turtle shell or marshmallow process, which requires you to contract your options, Innerwealth by expanding is built your options through the discard process

The roots of the discard process go back 8000 years to the ancient Egyptians when knowledge was not divided into religions and sciences but was held together as one body of knowledge. The process evolved and Dr John Demartini created the collapse process in 1980. To learn this process of discard is to learn natures way of evolving the human condition to become more powerful, resilient, connected and free so that the outer wealth is built on the strength of Innerwealth. It is a recycling system that takes in junk and spits out inspiration and love – energy.
