Permission or Manipulation by Greg Yodis

Permission is defined as allowing yourself to proceed forward with the choices, decisions and actions you make.

Yet there is a second part to the definition that cannot be left out. It becomes permission only when one is willing to accept full responsibility for their choices, decisions and actions.

If one allows themselves to proceed forward with their choices, decisions and actions without taking and accepting full responsibility, than this changes the label from Permission to Manipulation.

When a person allows someone else to take responsibility … than that is the purest definition of manipulation.

Understanding the differences between these two words in a real and genuine way, helps you to discern in life much easier and faster.

Example 1: What about a man who wants to live with a woman, yet doesn’t want children and will leave if the woman gets pregnant? Is he giving himself permission to love her or would this fall under the definition of manipulation? This is a conversation I’ve had with my own daughter.

Example 2: I spoke with a man in Bali and he told me how a business of his didn’t do well and he was stuck being responsible for all the debt and his partners were not. His partners had the agreement that he would shoulder the debt while they were “allowed” to share in the profits. I looked at him and I said, “Wow, they weren’t real business partners, they were just manipulator partners. He said, “Oh no, I don’t think so.” … I said to him, “They never took responsibility for the business … you did. You gave yourself permission while they gave themselves manipulation.” It’s so quick and easy to see once these words are understood.

So, really think about the differences between these two words. Where do you see the two differences playing out in your life? Where do I see them being played out in my life? Where do you see them playing out in the world?

So the question is this: Does what you see and hear have the credibility of permission or the cleverness of manipulation?

The thing about these definitions, is once I personally came to understand them, it became easy for me to understand up front who was giving themselves true permission and who was only manipulating. It gave almost a clairvoyance to insightful discernment.

When I finally understood what these words really meant, it didn’t take long to perceive the truth and respond to most situations. People tell me who they are and I believe them.

Does a politician, your doctor, your grocer, your gov’t, the companies you deal with and buy from, the people you deal with, your pharmacist, your car salesman, the Media give themselves permission or give themselves manipulation?

How about the Pharmaceutical Companies?

When Fauci absolved all the Pharmaceutical companies from any liability for the Vxxxns they manufacture and are now forcing on the world, did he give them permission or manipulation? In 1986 when the gov’t absolved all the Vxxxn companies from any liability to to the adverse effects of their products, were the companies given permission or manipulation? When the Gov’ts of the world need to give a waiver on the liability of a Vxxxn before a Pharmaceutical Corporation will sell to them, are they giving themselves and the companies permission or just the ability to manipulate?

Really ask yourself these questions and answer for yourself honestly. Upon reflection of these two definitions, It doesn’t take much thought process to understand what is happening does it?

They want to give your children these shots and they have never given themselves true permission to do so.
So why should you give in to their manipulation and take all the responsibility?

People tell me who they are and I believe them. Companies tell me who they are and I believe them.
The people in gov’t tell me who they are and I believe them.

The politicians of today and the Big Pharma companies are manipulators through and through. Nothing more needs to be understood. This whole Covid mess could have been stopped right in the beginning if the world only understood the meaning of these two simple words …

Permission and Manipulation

So do it now. Stop this mess, stop the ruse and protect your children. Stop participating and say NO to these manipulative criminals.

For The Greater Good

This is good advice. The group is made up of individuals. Look after the personal freedom, awareness, competence and productivity of the individual and the prosperity of the group is more certain.

As a matter of fact, if you looked at it hard, you might find that only made up of strong, capable, ethical, responsible individuals prepared to work in concert with one another could a group have a chance of surviving for any length of time.

The idea of making individuals less for the sake of the group is a certain path to individual slavery and group destruction.

Not that communists have any other goal.

Show Up and Be Seen

Show Up and Be Seen

I think midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear:

“I’m not screwing around. It’s time. All of this pretending and performing , these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt – has to go.

Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts.

I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armor could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy of love and belonging, but you’re still searching and you’re more lost than ever.

Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.”

Some time ago I read a researcher found it takes 10,000 hours to become world class at something. Doesn’t matter if it’s sport, music, painting… …whatever, 10,000 hours and you are up there with the best in the world.

If that seems daunting, instead of watching TV from 7 to 11 of an evening, put that time into doing something you love and in under 7 years you could be one of the best in the world at it.

What would you enjoy doing for 4 hours a night to become world class at?

I find a lot of truth in this. Once you become experienced, competent and skilled at something it is very easy to have reluctance to start something brand new. You have to confront being a complete newbie with all that entails – lots of trying, lots of failing, lots of work to improve your skills, lack of validation compared to efforts in your comfort zone.

It is far, far easier and less stressful to stay in your comfort zone. But that is not where the growth lies.

This Is What Love Looks Like

This Is What Love Looks Like

(Stolen and shared.)

“When I asked my 11-year-old son to help me unload dirt from our small pickup into his mother’s new garden boxes, his reaction was typical.

“Ummmm… I’m busy right now,” He said.
He was playing Roblock on the family laptop, wearing sweat pants and an old T-shirt, lounging on the sofa, feet on the coffee table.
“No you’re not,” I said.
There was a fight, moaning, excuses… the usual.
Moments later, we were next to a wheelbarrow shoveling dirt. He looked at me with flat eyes, his hood up, shoulders slumped, and said, “Why do we have to do this?”
I thought for a moment, because I’ll admit, it was a valid question. Neither of us were all that into flowers or vegetables, or any of the things that would be grown in those garden boxes. But my wife, Mel, loves gardening.
I thought, and he waited, and finally I said, “When you love someone, you serve them.”
I went on, telling him that I want him to grow up to be the kind of man who serves his family, friends, and community.
“This” I said while gesturing to the dirt, and the garden boxes I built the weekend before, and the wheelbarrow and shovel, and the first of many truckloads of dirt we would unload over the next few weeks, “Is what love looks like.”
He didn’t like my answer. I could see it in the way he reluctantly picked his shovel back up.
We finished unloading the dirt. The next day, while I was at work, and the kids and Mel had the day off because it was between terms, Mel sent me this picture. Mel picked up another load of dirt and before she had a chance to unload it, Tristan voluntarily started working. When she asked him “why,” he shrugged and said, “Because I love you.”
I’d never been prouder of my son.”
