You read the meme that it is not what happens to you that matters, it is how you react to it. You nod, you don’t learn. You have no idea what it means. You are clueless.
This is one of the memes that never gives you pause, because it is a meme that is also a principle. It is true everywhere, and it is one of the most important things to wake up to… that is, if you want the good life. If you want success. If you want love. If you want to be happy.
But in spite of all your babbling about all that, when someone gives you the tool, you’d rather hide it, rather ignore it, because… gasp… you don’t want to be responsible for your results.
One could say: stupid as the stupid does, and one would be right.
You are mighty stupid, my friend.
You hope that you can continue doing what you are doing, being the way you are being, and reap different results.
Fat chance.
You sign up to courses that you carefully pick out to be ineffective, ineffectual, so you don’t have to have the results.
Name any course you have taken.
If it was a garden variety course, 90% of all the courses out there, then you did it, fully knowing that you won’t have the results it promised, the result you paid for.
And if it is a good course that could change your life, you do it half assed… half-hearted, so-so, and fizzle out in the middle.
You do that with my courses… if by mistake you signed up.
And I mean saying “by mistake” because ultimately you don’t want what you paid for… you want to be able to say: “you see? I tried and it didn’t work. Nothing works for me. Everything is a sham… or I am so rotten that nothing will ever help.”
Throw up your hands, and mope, complain, get depressed, angry, stomp your feet, or do the sad donkey dance…
Whatever you habitually do, your reaction to things going the way they go (which they always the way they go) you go to your homepage.
I have been observing this with prurient fascination since I was a child.
To the observant this is obvious… to you this always comes as a surprise, because human nature (the human condition) hides your real nature from you…
I call that attitude, that state, that mood, that behavior your home page.
It is fairly obvious from your Bach Energy chart…
If the energies were organized on a shooting range target, the energies would be in a tight cluster.
Here is an example: all energies point to “tired, loss of energy” and also the underlying dynamic: desire to receive for the self alone, and the ultimate cost.
Here is mine, from just now: Gentian… no trust in outcome. But do I tell the truth that it is MY trust that I COULD give freely, is missing? Hell no. I will pretend that it is YOU, that it is Life, that it is death, that it IS that way.
And this is the essence of this homepage: it is the ultimate smokescreen to release you from your responsibility for your own life, for your own results. To reduce you to an effect, powerless, ragdoll.

Now, I have discovered this about myself, in fact this is what made me interested in the Bach system: a chiropractor told me that Gentian was my base flower essence.
So I read everything I could put my hands on, bought the remedy, started to experiment with muscle testing for the first time… because her diagnosis was spot on: I had a lifetime of incidents to prove.
Some of those incidents were insignificant in the big picture, but some of those crushed my dreams, like when my reaction to a phone call from Landmark, telling me they would discontinue my training to become a forum leader. I said, sniffling, Oh well… and gave up.
I am watching my participants. It is about the “right time” for the homepage escape to show up… and like clockwork, it does. Breaks my heart. I feel myself going into “Gentian” mode… oh well, I tried… and then catch myself. Oh fig… I almost went there.
I feel the pull that wants me to justify instead of doubling up on my efforts to drive home what they are refusing to learn… what can save them from the human condition.
Strong pull. ALMOST irresistible. Almost. It does take some energy to stay put.
Choosing is “selecting freely, after consideration” as Landmark teaches. So you need to consider if your inclination is automatic, blind, knee jerk reaction. If that is the only thing you could choose. And, ultimately, what it will cost you if you go with the pull…
One way to consider is to do the payoff/cost evaluation. Both. The payoff is always sinister, desire to receive for the self alone. In this instance, the instance of your stuck homepage reaction, is almost always avoiding responsibility.
Responsibility that you are actually choosing to be miserable, angry, feel sighted, vengeful, resigned, lazy, whatever your homepage is… you are actually choosing it. You. It isn’t meted out on you.
And responsibility for the death of the results you so vocally expressed that you wanted. YOU JUST GAVE IT UP! YOU.
You killed it… or you are killing it.
When my students don’t even listen to the replay of the webinars where I teach the tools, let alone memorize them, they act like that black woman, my friend, who after years of leading the same introduction, still haven’t learned the words, so they sound natural, so they sound like her words, not something she needs to read.
Your homepage’s essence is not willing to be responsible that you are causing your life. Always. Moment to moment.
You want to return to your original state, which is using George Bernard Shaw’s famous words: being “a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”
Inconsequential.
Some of you even have THAT as your homepage… in essence, saying: what I want doesn’t matter… the world is against me. Bah humbug. You are a liar, a pretender, you are that little selfish little clod…
Others, like the dude whose Bach Profile I am sharing above, will blame the world and its demand on him for being tired, listless, and lacking energy… never recognizing that it is his homepage, your favorite excuse for not generating his life… a lie. And excuse. Disgusting.
Or another participant, soul correction “Building Bridges”, who always feels slighted, because her homepage is an insistent, rigid, my way or the highway world savior, who deserves to get everything for free, adulation, admiration, and good behavior from others. Ugh… what a racket!
