The four Neuroses
H B Gelatt articulates four neuroses that stifles our ability to make confident decisions about future.
Future Phobia, Info-Mania, Perspective paralysis and Reverse Paranoia.
I am probably a possibilist, but I for sure have the Info-mania disability. Always feels like I can’t get enough knowledge. The lesson for me from Gelatt : Genuine Igonorance. So I am going to be learn to be genuinely ignorant of world wide knowledge from now on!
When I was there, I also read this insight on metaphors for future. Read it and then identify yourself with one. For me, I believe future is a great ocean and I hope to be a good navigator treading the uncharted waters, of course, barring any typhoons!
btw, If I had truly learnt Gelatt’s first lesson above, I shouldnt have stayed back to read the second one and more on his website. Isnt it?
