Session 96: Making Order and Chaos Work for You!

Here are the show notes from this episode: Melissa Tiers is coming to Toronto soon! Come to Toronto and join us in the class. And while you’re at it, take the MINDSCAPING training with Mike… May AoH is SOLD-OUT! You can still come to the June class if you book soon. Chris is giving Mike a raise! Woo hoo… Mike’s been reading Jordan B. Peterson’s book – 12 Rules for Life and it’s all about Order over Chaos… Chris bought the Audible book and Mike lies and says you can get an “audio highlighter” now. Chris believes him, which is scary when you think about it. Mike wants to see a firearms thing that helps you change guns and continue targeting on aliens if they’re attacking Earth! This is how we do it! This is how we do it Downtown… The Taoist symbol, Yin Yang is an order vs chaos symbol. Look for the dot there, folks! The point is to have one foot in each world…Neither too much chaos, nor too much order… Perfect order cannot be achieved, and a garbage dump accepts everything – but it’s not pure Chaos because there is still structure and Order! Chris says “Conversationally interested hypnotists” which is brilliant or just weird. Mike calls Chris “Yin” and breaks into a spirited rendition of The Captain Game It’s official! Chris used to play Dungeons and Dragons in Montreal. Who would have guessed? Lawful Evil – Chaotic Good…strange…and with Chaotic Neutral you never know what’s going to happen… Too much chaos is bad, but so is too much order. Anarchy is too much Chaos. Fascism is too much order! So is boredom. A little Chaos is a good thing. It staves off too much order and boredom and staleness… Mike found order through the electronic calendar. Anxiety can mean too much Chaos! Too much unpredictability… Start with Podcast #1 if you’ve just gotten into Brain Software. There is an arc to what we do! Chris nearly says too much but is reigned-in just in time… Chris invokes the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle but Mike isn’t sure why.  so he applies it to the temperature of bath water. There’s Order everywhere! Even phone numbers, because you cannot call any number at random and hope to get the correct person… Mike invokes Edward de Bono’s Provocative Operation and explains how chaos intrudes can create abject creativity… Even our podcast is an example! There’s a structure but then we wing it by adding Chaos! Chris comments on another podcast that has too much order. .. There are always elements of Order in all Chaos and vice versa… Chris laughs and Mike yells “Loochie!” Don’t smell the dishcloth! Or most things for that matter… Chris spoils the illusion of the downtown Toronto expensive studio… What special thing do we do for our 100th podcast? We can tell when we have a foot in each world; neither bored, nor overwhelmed. Chris mentions his daughter and Mike calls her Glapotrynne, which is damn hilarious and creative and brilliant! We seek some Chaos to escape from boredom. Mike says “Then they will Singh!” but Chris misses it completely. Mike exposes Chris’ condescending abuse that the audience never hears… Chris has heard stories… Mike brought order to his life with graphotherapy! Organize those small letter Fs folks by balancing those loops. Check out our graphology video here! Remember to start small when you’re adding Order to the Chaos of your life! Add Chaos by getting out of the rut! Learn something new to spark your creativity… Jokes reset your attention span! How cool is that? Make sure you do it every ten minutes or so… Foveal vision is a RAM hog! “Those who are not at threshold are willing to accept the level of Chaos in their lives.” – Mike Mandel Mike starts singing Callejjonno but Chris seizes the locus of control. Gotta be change, gotta be me, and gotta be now… You cannot be forced to go to threshold (although you can stir the pot and nudge them) Don’t put a chaotic malcontent into an orderly workplace. He’ll screw up everyone else! It will lead to a level of despision… Check out our Wellness Academy and change your life. It’s the stuff we do!

Empowering Question:  What is the greatest area of chaos in my life and how will I impose positive order upon it? What components of my daily life have become much too orderly and rigid and how will I open doors to a bit of creative chaos?

Empowering Metaphor: Feeding the birds and squirrels…
