Imagine you do a course with Psychotactics (e.g. the Article Writing Course). And you learn specific steps to write an article. Well, heck you’re copying the steps, right?
And that makes you a clone, right?
Wrong.
Well, not exactly wrong.
The chances of you becoming a clone are very high.
You will become a clone at the start. But only if you get stuck at the start.
So if, for instance, you were to simply copy what we did on our website, and put it on your website, well, you’d be a clone for sure. But then things would change. Or not change, as the situation changed. If you did update your website;if you do start selling and doing your own thing then the cloning starts to go away.
Kids start off as clones of their parents
A child copies the actions, accentof its parent. As humans we’re all clones. If the entire human race walked on one leg, you can be sure that our kids would learn to walk on one leg. Kids and adults learn specifically by cloning. But only at first.
And if they stop at this point, they are exact clones. But if they progress (and they do), then the cloning becomes partof a layer of many clones. So a child may first clone their mother, then their father, then their friends,then their neighbours, then their teachers, then their colleagues, and so on.
Each cloning layer builds on each other
And because the experiences are so varied, the experience becomes rich, and indeed unique.
So as the child grew up, they would still find themselves cloning parts of their behaviour, even as they created a distinct uniqueness. So a child would become an adult and come over for a dinner, and learn something from the mother (and that’s cloning)
For example: I learned how to cook a dish without burning the food, the other day. You just keep a cover with some water on top of the dish, and the contents don’t burn. Now this isn’t my idea. It was my wife’s idea, whoin turn got it from her mother. And it’s a cloned idea.
But I’ve got enough layers to create a dish that uniquely my own, even if I do clone some of the methods. I’m going to take bits and pieces and still do my own experiments.
So my dish becomes unique.
However, let’s go back a bit to when I first started cooking.
At that point, I wouldn’t want to experiment at all. I’d want to be told exactly what to do, and how to do it, downto the last ingredient, and the last measure. At that point I’d be a clone. But as I grow in confidence, that cloningfactor doesn’t get reduced. It just goes on the top of other factors. And so my ability becomes richer.
This is why I still read the work of authors I’ve read before.
Attend seminars of speakers I’ve heard before. Because while at the first stage I would have possibly been a clone, now it’s no longer a factor of cloning.
I’ve become more ‘layered’, and funnily, so has the speaker/author. So the continuing education helps me enrich my knowledge and application. Not to speak of profits and an increasingly comfortable lifestyle.
Cloning is only possible if life becomes a full stop
If life is a series of commas, cloning moves to layering.
And layering is fun 🙂
