“When an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside as fate.” –Carl Jung

So now that we’re on a path to empathize and heal our intergenerational traumas, let’s take a look at the “Core Language Approach.”

This is an approach developed by the It Didn’t Start With You author, Mark Wolynn, and can help us verbalize (make conscious) and then attack these challenges. The four steps:

  • The Core Compliant
  • The Core Descriptors
  • The Core Sentence
  • The Core Trauma

Let’s start with “The Core Compliant.”

This is the foundation of getting at our central mind and body block.

What is your deepest fear? It could be a feeling or situation. What do you find yourself worrying about again and again?

Write it out on paper. Try writing it again and again if you find yourself not being completely honest. Remember, you can throw away the paper later!

Once you see the words, read them out loud. Mark recommends analyzing them and asking questions like:

“What words… have an urgent quality to them?”

“What words may not fit entirely in the context of your life experience?” (i.e. might these be the fears of your parents or grandparents?)

And the most shocking:

“See if you can listen to what you’ve written as though you were listening to someone else. Perhaps the words do in fact belong to someone else, and you have merely been giving them a voice. Perhaps the words belong to someone in your family who was traumatized and couldn’t speak them out loud. Maybe through your complaints, you are telling this person’s story…”

Does this terror campaign you’re waging against yourself belong to you?

Chances are some of it is, but not all of it. Consider looking back and seeing where this came from and how to release it back into the past. Fears from the past will never serve you in the present.

Tomorrow we’ll look at “The Core Descriptors.”

Solving The Largest Existential Threats

Today’s Mission Daily guest is Bill Goldstein, Director of The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

LLNL is hard at work protecting Americans and solving some of our largest existential threats; from securing the nuclear stockpile to fighting global pandemics. Bill has been at the helm of that massive ship for over six years and has overseen some incredible projects.

It’s an interesting time for Bill, LLNL, and the world at large. That’s why we are so excited to have Bill join us today and share his insights into the research that is helping solve the world’s most concerning problems.

In today’s episode, Chad and Bill discuss:

  • The work that the LLNL is doing in nuclear development and how deterrents help prevent attacks rather than instigate them
  • The fascinating work that the LLNL is doing to help slow climate change, and how there is the potential to get California to zero carbon emissions by 2045
  • How Bill is thinking about coronavirus and the long-term outcomes of this pandemic
  • The day-to-day operations of LLNL and the knowledge and culture transition that it’s undergoing
  • And much more!

Listen to the whole conversation.
