Interesting! I'm glad Dart is going to share with us the spiritual team-mates philosophy, so that we can all talk about it with an educated eye. I'm sure he wouldn't just be dangling a mystery for purposes of selling a course.
Hullo Uniquemaid,
I am more than happy to respond to your post as you have put your point forward in a friendly and courteous manner, unlike some comments from others which are clearly tainted by the writer's own emotional baggage and negativity.
First of all, what is a spiritual team mate?
This is a being in and around your space who either contributes to, or hinders your activities and success.
Not all beings in your space are neccessarialy "team mates".
The old agage "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" comes in. The answer being "Practice, practice, practice"
Whatever skills you wish to develop will depend on how well you practice those skills. In doing so, those team mates around you will also improve and become more and more in line with what you are looking to develop.
I remember being in Japan in the 1970's and met the Grand Master of Akido. He gave a demonstration.
He had a small helium filled balloon tied to a crossbar. Across this a silk thread with two bells attached.
He turned his back to the balloon, drew his sword and cut through the silk thread WITHOUT bursting the balloon.
That was the result of YEARS of practice. He demonstrated a level of mastery where he and his team were as one.
In Knowledgism we look at ourselves as operating within zones.
The lowest is the RED ZONE. Here you are faced with people (and quite a few of your team mates ) working against you. You are unskilled, unaware of how to perform what you are doing, working with counter intention and are usually in the wrong place, doing the wrong thing and at the wrong time.
Two examples; Do you remember the first time you sat in a car learning how to drive? There was confusion, uncertainty etc. However, the more you practiced, the more competent you became.
Think of a boat crew who have never rowed before. They are all splashing around, confusion reigns. As they learn how to row, so they begin to work together, so it develops.
I often think of an office, particularly an open plan one, as an example. It is like a war zone. People are covertly, sometimes openly working against each other, trying to get ahead of the other guy.They get into "games conditions". It is amazing that the company even makes a profit.
Just imagine what it would be like if everyone there actually worked WITH each other. How much more successful would the company be?
So it is with your own spiritual team.
As you develop your skills so you move up into the Yellow zone. Here you are WORKING FOR whatever you are doing.
Most employees operate within these two bands, they are there for the wage. They follow their orders and keep their heads down. Quite often they will know their job function, complete their work as neccessary, but that is the limit of their ambition and drive.
Supposing they really practiced their skills, made sure they understood the concepts of what they were looking to achieve? They would then be WORKING WITH each other, achievement and success comes with operating at this level.
Again, it is the same with your spiritual team.
On a personal level, I started in my business 30 years ago. It was hard, I worked long hours and the rewards were not great. However, after practicing my skills in my field, I have fully trained my customers and suppliers to work WITH me, I am considered a major player in my field, I work about 6-8 hours per week and bring in a six figure sum.
For me, Knowledgism is about getting people to apply their skills. We have successful procedures that, if applied, do assist individuals to develop whatever aspect of their life they want to improve. It goes withouit saying that the individual's own team also learn to work WITH you as well. This we refer to as the Green Zone.
Like I said earlier, not all beings in and around your space are part of your team. There is nothing to stop them joining in, if they so choose.
I hope that this gives you a clearer insight into what my spiritual team mate philosophy is about.
Dart
