Truth: Perception about my future 20 years from now

[seeker5]

In the book on the section of Truth, Steve write you should do an honest assessment of where you'll be 20 years from now. He writes:

What kind of future will this person predict for you? If you're brave enough, ask several people who know you well to give you an honest assessment of where they see you in two decades.

So, I thought I'd ask the members of this forum and see if anyone is brave enough to respond to this question about me. I sure hope so!

I think I don't know your situation and behavior in detail enough as it is now to do such a thing. The Seeker of a few months ago isn't the Seeker of today, and I know about nothing about the Seeker of today.

I think it'd be more productive to ask people who are familiar with how you behave, think and feel now.

I've been doing that too. I thought it'd be fun to see what anyone from this forum might say.

I would also say that I don't have enough knowledge about yourself to do something like this.

Haha, this thread is great.

Firstly because it's going to show up everyone's talent themes in vivid detail (an individualiser like me would be endlessly amused--in the "take up time sense"--in a thread like this one).

Secondly because it highlights the importance of situation as it applies to personal development, and how we, as a species, really suck when it comes to suggesting practical methods for everyone.

Thirdly because it highlights how much we really know about Seeker. To be honest, I only have his talent themes and some patterns of behaviour to go off. And to be fair, I can also say the same thing about myself. I haven't shared many details about my specific situation (mostly because I don't post here about myself that often; usually I'm more of a general kind of guy offering general advice. It's where I'm strong).

This thread might be indirectly educational, Seeker. I.e. Useful, but in a way you might not have expected.

What might be more useful is to get a few people to say, "I'll make a prediction" and then get Seeker to predict what they might predict based on his situation and their knowledge of his behaviour (effectively linking the two so there isn't such a need for us to know the specifics of Seeker's situation) so Seeker can see where his predictions match up with the predictions of those that interact with him here.

It'd give him an idea of what kind of image he projects as interpreted by us.

I'd partake in such a thing if enough people show interest. Just me doing it won't prove to be very interesting.

Hah. A prediction on what people will predict! Should we take it out further and have them try to predict what I will predict on what they predict? :P

Heh. I could probably do that with a degree of accuracy. Others could, too, but currently my consciousness isn't linked to them, so speaking for them is hard.

A tip:

If those around you are kind of stuck in social drag, go make some new friends and hear what they predict for you. Their predictions won't be complete, but they will be more aligned with where you currently stand.

You could make developing a microcosm aligned with truth, love, and power--all three--your first project, and then the prediction exercise the project after that.

Thanks for the tip Bruce, however, I don't think there's any social drag at least in my physical life since I just moved to this city two months ago. Thus everyone here in this city knows me only since 2 months ago or less.

I did ask one person who knew me the most in this city, and she had a hard time making a prediction, compared to people who've known me a long time and whom I called or emailed. Maybe I'll ask other people down the road for fun.

It seems like you have predicted that we predict a certain future for you.
