Rescripting: Becoming my own 1st Creator

[doodlemaier]

Because everything that we think of as wrong is an extension of actions, actions as extension of choice, choice as the most potent source of individual power. . . .

. . . Proactivity is based on the unique human endowment of self-awareness. The two additional unique human endowments that enable us to expand our proactvity and to exercise personal leadership in our lives are imagination and conscience.

Through imagination, we can visualize the uncreated worlds of potential that lie within us. Through conscience, we can come in contact with universal laws or principles with our own singular talents and avenues of contribution, and with the personal guidelines within which we can most effectively develop them. Combined with self-awareness, these two endowments empower us to write our own script.

Because we already live with many scripts that have been handed to us, the process of writing our own script is actually a process of 'rescripting', or paradigm shifting - of changing some of the basic paradigms we already have. As we recognize the ineffective scripts, the incorrect or incomplete paradigms within us, we can proactively begin to rescript ourselves.
