Thought of the Night #43??? - Frog and You

We have all heard about the little story about the frog that slowly gets boiled alive. Or the slippery slope arguments.

Well, it turns out this is actually a wonderful and powerful way to change oneself, whatever reason you may wish to do so.

Eg. I remember you said that you were afraid of mummies.

1. Start with a person. Say, you. Are you afraid of yourself? Probably not.

2. How about a rotten apple? It might be disgusting, but is it fear you feel?

3. How about a dead monkey? Dead monkey descendant? Dead monkey descendant wrapped in bandages?

What is it about it that really makes you afraid?

The closer you narrow it down, the closer you get to finding something new, but probably not unexpected, about yourself.

And reducing fear without really having to push your comfort zones in the usual, masochistic-sounding ways.


Note: This stuff can be worth significant money. People have been known to pay loads of money to learn things like this. I guess the money makes them more attentive and motivated, while making them believe that they'll be more committed.
