Xaxeres - Living

The process of healing begins with realizing that everything changes. Prevention of mishaps is the best way to avoid the unpleasant efforts of restoring lost function. Diseases exist, but can be minimized through good hygiene. Accidents happen, but can be prevented through cautious preparation. Poverty is inevitable, but can be effectively avoided by focusing on logistics. Violence occurs, but can be controlled to a degree through careful social interaction. If we can avoid damage, there is no need to go further.

The principle of "Polarity" might seem confusing. This simply means that once something happens, an opposing force must be put into play to reverse the initial situation. Once we've been damaged, alas, the arts of medicine and similar therapy come into our lives. We must go to the effort of establishing forces that oppose the harm that has already come into existence. This is usually difficult and it is often impossible to fully restore the original optimal situation.

Your challenge is to look at lines 5 and 6 of the "Xaxerean Pattern". Follow the suggestions. Fill in your pursuits for these lines, focusing on activities that improve your ability to survive conflict and overcome adversity (fight or flight). On any day that "Flexibility" or "Polarity" are to be pursued, perform or study your corresponding "Pursuit" during all free time with a focus on activities that improve your ability to avoid damage and recover from mishaps. Have fun experiencing your growing power!

Suggestions and Review

Make a copy of the XP image at Xaxeres if you haven't already done this. Study the key words very carefully. Decide on a personal pursuit that you think corresponds to each number on the "Xaxerean Pattern", based on the "deed", "principle" and "observation" key words. Take your best guess. Choose something that you would like to master. These pursuits will change as your life evolves. For some ideas, click on Author's Example
Once you have finished your list and filled in the blanks, you will now own your personal "Xaxerean Pattern". Put it where you will remember it each evening.
Before you go to bed, roll a twelve-sided die or use any method that randomly produces a number between one and twelve. Write down the resulting number and pursuit. Spend a few minutes before you go to sleep thinking about how you will pursue this activity the next day. Write down some notes if you get good ideas. The corresponding "pursuit" is what you will do during all free moments on the following day.
When you wake up, quickly look at your pursuit for the day and at any notes you wrote before you went to sleep. If you had any dreams about it, make some notes. Think about what you want to accomplish. Spend all spare moments in your day doing something related to this pursuit. Think about today's "principle" as you go through the day. Watch your surroundings with today's "observation" in mind.
If you wish to accelerate your progress and experience the full power of this system, here is the secret: Record today's thoughts and observations in a personal journal. Do this daily and keep it private. This is for you. Don't talk about it. If anyone asks, tell them honestly that you're just "keeping some notes". You will see the reason soon enough if you fail to do this.
You may find that if people know what you're trying to accomplish, they may interfere with your progress either deliberately or for no apparent reason. It happens. This can best be avoided by being quietly effective, unless you need help with specific projects. Ask when you must, but be very careful.
At the end of each month read through your daily entries, think about what has happened, and record your reactions in a special monthly entry. Mark it well, perhaps with a colored pen so that you can find it easily.
At the end of each year, read the monthly entries, consider what has happened over the year, and write an annual entry after some serious thought.
Read your growing collection of annual entries each year. Watch yourself evolve.
Accept that your journal may be destroyed, lost, or stolen at some point. Laugh and start over. Enjoy your life and enjoy the show!
