WHERE IS YOUR CIRCLE?

Your Circle is in a database.

Your database.

Your database lists people's names, email addresses, and phone numbers.

If someone is not in your database they are probably not in your Circle.

Where do your Circle people come from? They come from meeting you and wanting to stay in touch with you to learn about what you are learning about. They want to be part of your journey. This means it is important to keep doing High Level Fun things where you can meet like-minded people. That's not so bad, is it?

MEETING PEOPLE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FACEBOOK OR INSTAGRAM.

Meeting people happens in person, physically, face to face, not online in social media.

If you do not believe me about this then you will be shocked and possibly disappointed when no one shows up at the public talk you advertised as a Facebook Event even though 40 people clicked 'Going' or 'Interested'.

The number of Facebook clickers who actually show up at physical (and even online) events can be counted on the fingers of one foot.

Instead of spending your time making Facebook events and posting there, go around and connect with flesh and blood people, face to face (See YOUCIRCL.03 Experiment). Talk to people. Ask questions. Be curious. Build Bridges (see Connect with Other Circles).

WHERE IS YOUR DATABASE?

In an EXCEL sheet. In your computer.

It takes 5 minutes to set up a database in Excel (or Google sheet).

If I can make a database, you can make a database.

You will feed this simple database into a free online newsletter generating program (like MailChimp, see below for the steps).

YOUR MAIN JOBS?

Your main jobs are:

1. To feed your Circle (See FEED YOUR CIRCLE)

It is more effective not to feed your Circle very much, yet it is important to feed your Circle regularly and with quality food.

A simple monthly newsletter from you is sufficient to feed your Circle and keep them healthy and strong.

2. To keep growing your Circle (See BUILD YOUR CIRCLE)

Your Circle is not going to grow by itself. It is like a fragile plant, you give it water, sun and time, and then it will grow.

The Water for your Circle is your legend-making actions and offers.

The Sun for your Circle is your Attention and your persistence to add every name and email address to your database of the people crossing your journey or walking with you on your journey.

A Circle requires Love, Attention, Energy.

'Selling' transformation is a very different business than selling any kind of other services or products. To acquire most other services or products only one thing is required in exchange: your money. The job people selling ordinary services and products is to convince you that you better spend your money on their products and services than their competitors' products and services. This is Marketing 101. There are all sorts of techniques for this. There are entire Masters degree to learn how to brainwash and convince clients that your product is the best.

Selling Transformation is not the business of convincing clients that they should get transformation. The main reason is that it doesn't work. Before your clients are your clients, they are identified with their Box. The Box does not want transformation, the Box will do anything to avoid that your potential client gets any idea that transformation is possible. The Box thinks that if it can stay the same than it will survive, and the person inside of the Box will survive too.

'Acquiring' transformation requires the highest cost imaginable: the life of the Box. The Box - as it is - will not survive transformation. Your job is then to DEMONSTRATE something that the client will find more valuable than the life of their Box.

Demonstrating that thing so that your client wants more of it in their life is NOT about explaining. If you explain it to them, they could probably understand at an intellectual level what you mean and they might find it interesting, but they will not be ready to pay you to take them through the process. Explaining hinders your circle building. You might have had this experience already.

Explaining and convincing are old technology. There are newer technology: creating a vacuum.

Demonstrating by creating a vacuum for your client has the possibility of opening a door for your client in which they can see that they didn't know they didn't know about something.

Demonstrating by vacuum happens in many ways: Become Integrity, Make Legends and Cause Adventure.

Having Integrity...

... with the work that you deliver. Walk your talk.

For example, if you deliver Workshops and Trainings to heal emotional reactivity, next time you are having an emotional reaction in a group, admit it and tell them that you will go do the emotional healing process so that you can keep having this conversation with them.

For example, if you deliver Workshops and Trainings for people to learn to keep their center, demonstrate that you can keep your center around them. Stop being adaptive, don't allow Gremlin to take over a space of relationship. Walk your talk.

For example, if you deliver Workshops and Trainings in which you will distinguish parts and purposes, practice having Meta-Conversation about parts and purposes without judgments.

Legend-Making actions...

... are actions that sends an energetic vibrations in the field that is strong enough to disrupt the status quo.

Those energetic vibrations are ripples, identical to the ripples in water after you throw in a stone. When the ripples hit hard matter (like the edges of a swimming pool) they come back to the sender: YOU.

The hard matter in the energetic fields are your clients: the people who have enough matrix to sense the vibrations and to respond to them. Your legend-making actions and their ripples will be invisible to most of the population on the Planet. You could consider this a good news, this means that the people coming back to you want something from you instead of wanting to kill you. The more you stay invisible to the fanatics of modern culture, the more you can keep doing your job in peace.

Legend-Making actions are actions that open doors into new territory that were invisible to people before.

Demonstrating emotional healing on radio show is legend-making, committing to deliver a work-talk every week is legend-making, holding space for 3/3/3 is legend-making, giving free talks in book shops is legend-making, walking barefoot everywhere is legend-making, going around the world using no fossil fuel powered engine machines is legend-making.

Let your legends do the impossible Magic of opening the difficult Doors so you can use your time and energy actually delivering the services of your Archetypal Lineage.

Cause Adventure...

... We are not talking about climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, racing down river rapids, SCUBA diving or sky diving... although these are not excluded.

Truly adventurous territories are inner and relational. Conscious Adventure is Transformational.

Practice becoming someone who can cause Adventure, and you will attract true adventurers!

Adventure is available at any moment. Adventure is going into uncharted territory together. Where? How?

Navigating the territories of Survival Strategies, Emotional Reactivity, Gremlin habits, and Box reactions can bring immense new awarenesses and celebrations. But, that is not all that there is... The purpose of digging through the mud is to get to the Light. How well can you Cause Adventure of new Possibility, new options to Choose from, new ways to Connection, NonLinear Life Plan, new Gameplans, new Gameworlds, new Nonmaterial Value for other people?

Committing to someone else's true Commitment is an Adventure.

Taking a Stand for the Stand that you are is an Adventure.  

You have to get that you are not trying to get money from your people. If money is your primary concern while selling your transformational space, it is not safe for your people to go into those spaces because the moment you got the money, your work is done.

On the other hand, your work is NOT free work. Your value is your distinctions and your capacity to deliver them. Keep sitting in the Possibility chair until you leave the modern culture gameworld that provides you with money and builds the next culture gameworld in which a flow of resources comes through (including money).

You are not offering Transformation for Money.

In Modern Culture, you think 'I need money to live', 'Money equals Value' - the more money I have, the more valuable I am, or the more people pay me, the more value I have, 'money is scarce and limited, what you have I cannot have' - therefore I am in competition with you for money. The relationship to money in the Patriarchal Capitalist Empire is sick and it is making us sick.

In Archiarchy, you are offering Healing and Transformation because that is Your Job, your Destiny, because is there anything more entertaining than that these days than to be the mouthpiece for Archetypal Forces to do their work in the world through you?

You have to get that by Growing Up, Healing Yourself, and Building Matrix, you have created for yourself a number of life rings and life boats next to a sinking ship.

In Archan Shaminism, your job is to Replace Yourself by sharing the ability with your Client from them to create those life rings and life boats for himself AND teaching those same Clients how to create those life boats for others.

Transformation is a Nonmaterial unlimited Resource. When you hold the space for someone else's transformation you transform too. Transformation is a treasure that grows when you share it.

The status quo of the world is hard like stone.

The status quo of your Box's life is also hard as stone.

To create a space for your gameworld in your life and in the global ethnosphere you will need to carve new space in your life and the global ethnosphere with a grinder and a hammer and chisel.

The work of carving out new space is long and difficult. It is not for children. The fantasy world of 'being discovered by Oprah' or some famous movie director and suddenly going viral is just that, a fantasy world. Many hours and days and months can unconsciously slip through your fingers while you are fascinated by your fantasy world, busily making other plans...

If you succeed at creating a vacuum in the status quo, people will come and fill it. The universe will provide you with people who are hungry for the particular kinds of energetic and transformational food you offer.

It can help to realize that Your Circle grows one person at a time.

Then you can recognize that it takes persistence to build Your Circle. Each Legend Making action brings perhaps one more person into your database listing name / email / WhatsApp info.

It turns out that still now, in 2020, Possibility Management is located at the Edge of Edgeworkers. We are not yet mainstream in people's next culture Bridge Experiments. We are still mostly unheard of even with so much positive feedback and enthusiasm about the value of Possibility Management.

The people in Your Circle are the people whose contact info is in your database. Your Facebook 'friends' are not in Your Circle. There is no commitment in clicking a 'Like' button.

You build matrix in your people by supplying tasty, crunchy, juicy food: distinctions, extraordinarily exciting nonlinear challenges, inspiring images, and transformational opportunities, along with the specific date, time, place, cost, and registration info. Each offer is a Doorway to a new future for anyone who finds your Doorway.

The way to build the experience of necessity in others to need the food you provide is to provide food that you would love to have had others provide for you.

What turns you on will not turn everybody on. Focus on further turning on the people who get turned on by what turns you on. This is your Tribe. Feed and empower your Edgeworkers with Distinctions and Experiments.

Most people cannot tell you what they don't know about what is possible. This is exactly the area where they would thrive on the Clarity and Possibility from you.

High quality energetic food rich, distinctions, and practical hints build bridges connecting from where people are to where they might want to go.

You may be unaware that many bridges to new territory exist at your feet. By taking one conscious step you would be off your beaten path and onto a bridge to an entirely different future. The world of humans is in the desperate condition that it is right now, because of the fear-avoiding habit of continuing along the path you are already on, rather than doing the Box Expansion work required to become aware of the many bridges to new paths that you blindly walk by.

People need to know what a regenerative culture bridge looks like, and how to make their first step onto a bridge.

A bridge can be a flyer, a public talk at a bookstore, an interview with an online video blogger. A bridge can be you saying to someone in the right moment, "If you do Rage Club you might make clearer decisions in your life."

A fruitful place to build necessity in Edgeworkers for the food of your Bright Principles is in parallel collaborative gameworlds. Many gameworlds are starving for your food and distinctions even if they do not know it yet. A list of such gameworlds is online at http://yourcircle.mystrikingly.com.

Attend their meetings, their conferences, their workshops, and ask questions that are close to your heart: "How do you handle conflicting purposes in your gameworld?"

When they say, "We don't know. Could you please say more about this?" you can reply, "I am researching ways that groups such as yours find to interact with people who speak and act from a purpose that is not in your gameworld context. There are some Experiments I could suggest you try that might give you exciting new possibilities about this. Do you want to do one now?"

The distinctions of your Bright Principles can empower other gameworlds that are bridges to next culture. Soon you will hear people telling you: "I am in Deep Adaptation, but I want to know about Rage Club."

Providing copyleft distinctions, tools, processes, and thoughtware into other edgeworker gameworlds strengthens these gameworlds as allies. There already exist global networks of collaborating next culture gameworlds. You have just found one.

If you think of your Circle as your Clients, then your interactions with them will remain transactional. You think that the more transactions you do, the more successful you will be. Such transactions are ordinary, superficial, vampire-like, and survival oriented.

You would then provide a service which is paid for, and your commitment and care for the Evolutionary Journey of the person ends when the service is rendered and the money is paid. The best you can get from this kind of transaction is some 'monopoly money' in your bank account.

We have forgotten the value and benefit of being 'indebted' to each other, in the indigenous sense of the word. In Archan language, we would say: Accountable to each other. Through being 'indebted' with the others in your tribe, you create a web of life, empowerment, love and care happening. (For more about this, please read Martín Prechtel's books: Secrets Of The Talking Jaguar, and Long Life Honey In The Heart, as recommended from the Possibilitator Reading List at http://possibilitybooks.mystrikingly.com.)

If you think of your Circle as co-walkers on the evolutionary Path, then you will be connected and exchanging value with real friends. You are creating next culture, you are practicing culture together.

Build your Circle with people who have their own Circle.

When someone in their Circle needs your Nonmaterial Value, you can provide it for them.

When someone in your Circle needs a Nonmaterial Value from one of your colleagues on the Path, then they can provide it for them.

This exchange of Nonmaterial Value weaves Critical Connections between Communities of Practice which generates a Field Of Influence for the emergence of Next Culture, Archiarchy (words from Margaret Wheathley, upgraded with Archan Distinctions).

Then people in all the interwoven Circles gain direct access to more multi-dimensional and well-rounded resources. It builds both quality and quantity into your Circle.

There is a global ecology of circles, an organic meshwork of interconnected gameworlds, all serving the evolution of consciousness.

The Law of Emergence says that by exchanging value through critical connections with other Circles (other communities of practice...) you generate a field of influence that amplifies the emergence of Next Culture.

A 'critical connection' is a connection over which real value is exchanged.

How can your circle create real value for other circles?

A formidable question that shift the purpose of your gameworld to supporting the emergence and evolution of other gameworlds!

Other circles are also hungry for distinctions, experiments, and authentic adulthood initiatory processes that build matrix in the energetic bodies of their people to support evolution. The people may be quite hungry for evolution even if they do not articulate it with clarity.

If you can provide the spaceholders and participants in other circles with food they will be grateful and interested in further collaborations.

What we have found is that many circles already exist in your area that have a context with resonance to the context of Possibility Management. This automatically makes us friends, brothers and sisters in fact.

If you reach out to these circles by personally connecting in with their people, attending their meetings, asking relevant nonlinear questions, being authentically curious, providing clarity and possibility whenever and wherever you can, you open the door to collaboration. With consistency, you also build an appetite in their people for the distinctions and tools of Possibility Management. This feeds their circle and builds your circle. The people in their circle are alraedy hungry for what your upcoming Expand The Box training has to offer them. This is exciting news for them!

Here are some of the Circles we have already found that are deeply resonant to the context of Possibility Management and are wildly interested in connecting with you as an ally:

The suggestion is to immediately and often meet with any of these groups in your area. When you share yourself with them, in addition to making new edgeworker friends, you will automatically build your Circle with more people interested in your newsletter.
