Looking through a structural lens will change your life

Content VS. Structure


Content = the details and the specifics in relation to an individual


Structure = the clear pillars which content patterns are derived from


We can notice patterns in specific content.


We can zoom out and see that all content tends to fall within basic structures.


Therefore, simplifying the psychology. And with simplification conserving energy.


One must not fall into an echo chamber here.


Just because the structural lens can be effective in simplifying content, it does not imply that one can allow for ignorance or arrogance to enter the fold.


Lets run through an example.


Justin sees a tiger. Justin gets scared, and runs away.


That's the content.


Structure = Fear often leads to avoidance


Now, in a physical fight or flight situation, maybe fear has some value.


But rarely are we in those situations.


Now lets build of the structure of fear. "often leads to avoidance."


What is the nature behind avoidance?


Well, DR. Peterson says, "don't hide unwanted things in the fog."


Reality is, when we avoid, and run, we are hiding unwanted things in the fog.


Because the structure behind avoidance is, that which we don't face instantly will bare it's head in others ways/dimensions.


Then although one THINKS they are okay, due to allowing fear to grow into avoidance, they are setting themselves up for their own trap. Unknowingly. Tricky, huh?


So this is why seeing in terms of structure allows for insight, because if we stay in shallow content we don't create the psychological space to get to where we have gotten in this piece of inquiry.


P.S. I'm not the teacher - I just inquire because the urgency - humanity has to revolutionize. I do 1:1 mentorship. If you resonate with my work... And if you are SERIOUS...
