Secret Doctrine

Sixty thousand years ago Humans begin to exist on the face of this earth according to Wikipedia entry. 60,000 years of Nature’s programming is burnt into our genes. Some of our instincts have roots when our ancestors were hunters, gatherers and cave men. They were afraid of the predators who confronted them every day. Tigers, Lions and Diseases roamed the face of earth. The food chain was in place and we were at the bottom.

Fast forward 60,000 years – the food chain is still intact.

Now, at the top of food chain is Mankind. Humans have won over most diseases and ferocious beasts.

As our society has become more sophisticated, our lives have changed radically in the last 40 years. However, our instincts are lagging in the older times and they have not caught up with the changes caused by us. With the new systems and technologies, we need to train ourselves. With some guidance and conscious training, we can get there.

There is enough food in the markets so you do not have to hunt.

You can buy or rent a home and protect yourself from the extremes of weather.

The hospitals provide the care until you are healed.

All rosy picture – right. Well, mostly it is. We have made huge strides in terms of innovations and inventions. With all the good hearted people, there are few who prey and continue to find ways and means to exploit the rest of us.

Credit card companies and financial institutions charging hidden fees. Mortgage companies setting up the system against us. Media driving you to consume when you do not need to buy. Our government wasting our hard earned money and gouging taxes in hidden forms.

Who is looking out for you?

Answer: No one but yourself.

The saber tooth tiger has been replaced with the present day challenges and unlike the saber tooth tiger these things don’t kill you immediately but they surely take a stab at you – a little bit at a time.

Our ancestral instincts were honed to defend against the wild creatures. Unfortunately – we are not well equipped to face the present day challenges. We do not feel strong enough to protect our investments and income.

We need to train our instincts. We need to let go of the idea of instant gratification and replace it with the SECRET DOCTRINE.

Secret Doctrine is two pronged: Carrot and the Stick.

- You need to have a big enough Carrot to move you forward

- You need to be accountable to make sure you are making progress

We need to re-program our instincts that have roots going back million of years to be able to face the challenges of the new world.

Goals are the carrots. We need to have reasonably high value goals to create a force that pulls us forward towards our dreams.

We also need to have an accountability mechanism to keep us in check to ensure that we are on track and making progress.

We need to train ourselves to get the same feeling that you get through instant gratification by following your goals.

Once you have trained yourself, you will feel good by achieving a task that moves you towards your goal. Reducing 15 pounds to gain your ideal weight will give you more pleasure than indulging in chocolate.

We also need to have a system of tracking so we are accountable. When we make decisions based on this carrot and stick strategy, we can achieve anything.
