Tips from 2010 #17

TODAY'S TIP (via thoughts from John 8/24/2010): The EGO is the #1 obstacle to learning Guided Chaos, for ALL students (especially if you don't think it applies to you). It can manifest in many detrimental ways, from wanting to "win" or be the "top dog" in training to wanting to please the teacher or "show" your knowledge or improvement. Even the briefest ego-driven emotional response to hitting or being hit in training can devalue that training. Simply put (and it ain't simple), ego clouds perception of truth--and lucid, detailed perception of absolute truth moment by moment is required in order to adapt to the chaos of violence. As in AA, the first step is admitting you have a problem. Then you can identify the problem and work on it. We must know ourselves honestly in order to perceive the truth about others. Sounds "out there" but John can make it feel pretty darn concrete.
