Hello, In this week’s edition, I discuss why properly remapping stories of the past can benefit your future and how memories play a role in the remapping process. Then, I talk with John Rustad, the leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, about natural resources, cheap energy, and what it takes to be a politician who inspires confidence and earns trust. From the archives, I address a question about Stoic philosophy.
Advice Avoid Past Mistakes By Paying Attention Years ago, psychology students participated in a study in which they wrote about their past traumas. The stories were curative because if the students used words that indicated understanding and comprehension, then they remapped the territory they had not mapped properly the first time they walked over it. Everyone is very much concerned with stability, safety from betrayal and malevolence, and avoiding unnecessary tragedy. Any past behavior that indicates there is a hole in the map you are using to orient yourself in the world allows terror to shine through and an alarm to sound, signaling a situation is not good for you. The alarm is saying, “You have a map that has some holes. The holes are places you are probably going to have to go again. But the holes are still there, so you will fall in the hole. And the last time you fell in the hole, the experience was not good for you, so you should be alert.” That is the reason traumatic memories will often not go away. It is actually a good thing, although it can be bad if you do not know what to do about it. It is not merely a matter of expressing the emotion that is associated with past catastrophe; in fact, not only does that often not help, but it can also actually make it worse. Think of a memory that is old or of a problem that is bothering you right now that will not let you go. You can assess your fantasies because they will often give you a clue as to what the appropriate response needs to be. That is not necessarily the response you have to manifest, but the trick is to implement the response in a manner that stops you from falling into the same hole that you have fallen into before.

Meditations With Oliver Anthony: Negotiating A Shared Vision And Taking A Leap Of Faith One of the things that happens in Exodus is that Moses is being a shepherd. He is off with his Midianite father-in-law, Jethro, and he married one of Jethro’s daughters, and he is away from Egypt. He is just minding his own business. That is when he is wandering down the pathway by Mount Horeb, and he notices something off to the side that glimmers and glitters. That is the burning bush. He could continue just walking down the path as a relatively satisfied shepherd — or maybe dissatisfied — shepherd, but he decides to go investigate this thing that attracts his attention. That is the key aspect of the story. He decides to go investigate what attracts his attention, and as he gets closer to it, he understands that he is on sacred ground. When he continues his pursuit, God himself speaks to him. That is when Moses becomes the leader. That is the story of life.

Jordan Peterson On Stoicism: Building A Foundation For Personal Growth The resurgence of interest in Stoic philosophy is quite the exact opposite of the philosophies in vogue right now. When a society veers too much in one direction, people begin to notice what has been forgotten. Thus, the movement toward the Stoic direction makes sense. In line with Stoic thought, there are lessons to be learned from difficulties, but those difficulties must be analyzed and integrated properly in order to solve the problem. Otherwise, a flaw in your adaptive structure will persist.
