Merry Christmas! It is now 11:43 EST for me. The music video I am recommending is mostly for the preview I am going to type in. The music video is called ‘Candy’ by American pop singer Mandy Moore. The song was released August 17, 1999, and it reached #41 at the Billboard Hot 100. Here is a quote about the music video from www.wikipedia.org:

‘Released in July 1999, the video begins with shots of a typical neighborhood, with the camera eventually zooming to Mandy Moore’s bedroom. After her friends call her from outside her bedroom window, the group travels, in a green Volkswagen Beetle, to a diner named Cadillac Jack’s. Along the way, Mandy glances at a boy she saw skateboarding. The end of the music video shows Moore and her dancers in an empty pool, surrounded by skateboarders.’

I see this music video as a refreshing American suburban perspective experience. To help you sense that, I recommend that, somewhere in the beginning of the video when it is showing the neighborhood, imagine Harrison Ford portraying Jock Goddard from the movie ‘Paranoia(2013)’, before Goddard was arrested, of course,  eating what looks like neon colored chips Goddard purchased from Willy Wonka(Johnny Depp) from the movie ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory(2005)’. While Mandy Moore is singing, you see Jock Goddard standing somewhere in the neighborhood eating those chips. He looks happy, like he’s enjoying the chips. If you watch the music video, skip the scene when Mandy Moore is talking about herself, and the following scene when she is getting a ride on a motorcycle. To watch the music video for free, search for phrase ‘mandy moore candy’ in www.youtube.com, and it should be the 1st selection offered, with over 6.8 million views.

So, here’s the preview. On Thursday, December 21, less than a week ago, I invented an idea called ‘Confront’. Of course it’s more than this, but basically it identifies an instigation causing you to commit to a sense of language confronting use as you try to cope with the instigation induced experience. The idea should give you the ability to not need to commit to such an obviously adverse language confronting use. Also, the language confronting use in question may not even be something you agreed to participate with in the 1st place. I recommend using the phrase ‘I did not agree to participate.’ to quantify and allocate the experience. Once you learn this idea, the short term epiphany you may experience may feel like, refurbished, that scene in movie ‘The Empire Strikes Back(1980)’ starring Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker and Frank Oz as Yoda(The movie is available at Amazon.com, but only for purchase. Of course, if you already have the movie, then I recommend that you don’t need to purchase the movie from Amazon.). According to Amazon Video, the scene starts 1 hour, 9 minutes, and 20 seconds into the movie, Luke is talking to Yoda, and has agreed to lift his X-wing fighter spaceship out of the swamp using The Force. Here is a quote:

Luke:-‘All right. I’ll give it a try.’

So, Luke makes an effort to lift his X-wing fighter from the swamp, but wasn’t able to. However, Yoda was able to. So, soon after you start learning to use idea ‘Confront’, you should notice that your contemplations as it relates to instigation that may still bother you should become less burdened, lighter.

Now, it’s not just idea ‘Confront’ that should allow you to have ‘lighter’ contemplations. The effect is created with several other ideas that lead to the explanation of ‘Confront’. Here’s an overview of what I plan to explain in this blog: 1st, I plan to explain the 2 separate definitions of ‘Not work’. I will explain the 1st definition of ‘Not work’ in this list, and the 2nd separate definition of ‘Not work’ in the 2nd list. After that, idea ‘Recalibration’ in the next list, then ideas ‘Contribute’, ‘Prepare’, and ‘Defend’ in the next list. Then idea ‘Say’ in a separate list, idea ‘Attitude’ in a separate list, then finally idea ‘Confront’ and ‘Prolong’ on a separate list. So, by today, I should have finished explaining the 1st separate definition of ‘Not work’, and hopefully by the end of this month maybe at least half of what I typed in.

Not work:

To start, I want to use an illustration from episode 3.13 ‘Deja Q’ from sci-fi tv show ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation(1990)’. The illustration is not to be taken literally. It is refurbished just to give you a sense of mindset involved with idea ‘Not work’. If you have Amazon Prime, the episode should be available to you without extra payment needed. The illustration starts 33 minutes and 18 seconds into the episode. Q(John de Lancie) and Picard(Patrick Stewart) are talking. Here is a quote:

Q:-‘When I ask myself if I would have done the same for him and I am forced to answer ‘no’, I feel…I feel ashamed.’

Picard:-‘…I am still not entirely convinced that all this isn’t your latest attempt at a puerile joke.’

Q:-‘It is a joke, a joke on me–joke of the universe, the king who would be man.’

The reason I am using this ‘Star Trek’ reference is because, refurbished for advice, Q experienced an epiphany from circumstances Q actually experienced as a human. Also, when Q was talking to Guinan(Whoopi Goldberg), 19 minutes and 41 seconds into the episode, Q said quote-‘One of the boys with an IQ of 2,005.’ So, when Q said ‘When I ask myself if I would have done the same for him and I am forced to answer ‘no’, I feel…I feel ashamed.’, Q said that with an IQ of 2,005. I thought that such a circumstance may help you understand what I am about to type in.

To start this ‘Not work’ idea, I am going to give the illustration first. The illustration, refurbished for advice, of course, is in episode 4.1 ‘The Best of Both Worlds: Part II’ from sci-fi tv show ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation(1990)’. The episode is available from Amazon.com. If you have Amazon Prime, the episode is included with your Amazon Prime membership. The illustration starts, according to Amazon Video, 37 minutes and 8 seconds into the episode, Data(Brent Spiner) is talking to Riker(Jonathan Frakes) and Shelby(Elizabeth Dennehy). Here is the quote:

Data:-‘I am unable to penetrate defense systems command structure, Captain.’

Shelby:-‘Try the power systems, Data. See if you can get them to power down.’

Data:-‘Acknowledged. Attempting new power subcommand path.’

37 minutes and 57 seconds into the episode, Picard says the word ‘Sleep.’ to Data. Here is the quote:

Picard:-‘Sleep.’

Beverly(Gates McFadden):-‘He’s regaining consciousness.’

Picard:-‘Sleep.’

Deanna:-‘It’s Captain Picard speaking, not Locutus.’

Picard:-‘Sleep, Data.’

Beverly:-‘He’s exhausted.’

Picard:-‘Yes, Doctor. But if I may make a supposition, I do not believe his message was intended to express fatigue but to suggest a course of action.’

To clarify, here is a quote from www.wikipedia.org regarding that situation:

‘Data attempts to use the link to disable the Borg’s weapons and defensive systems, but cannot, as they are protected by security protocols. Picard breaks free from Borg control and mutters, “sleep”. Dr. Crusher comments that Picard must be exhausted from this ordeal, but Data realizes that Picard is suggesting accessing the Borg regeneration subroutines, which are less protected than key systems like weapons or power. Data issues a command to the Borg to enter sleep mode, causing their weapons and shields to deactivate.’

So, when I invented idea ‘Not work’, I invented it where I work. This happened some weeks before my lower back injury, so I’m saying this happened either July or August of this year. For the record, I don’t just use these ideas when I experience instigation or inadvertencies. I’m also making new ideas, and I use other ideas to add a certain variety of interpretation to those I perceive. Since it’s done privately, I don’t see that as an issue. Anyway, something happened with one particular co-worker. The person was someone I have a certain reverence and respect for, and when I used my ideas on that person, for some reason my ideas did not work on that person. The realization that my ideas did not work on that person led to the use of Q’s quote:-‘When I ask myself if I would have done the same for him and I am forced to answer ‘no’, I feel…I feel ashamed.’ I felt some sort of humility when I accepted the fact that my ideas does not work on that person.

Soon after I made that logical conclusion, I made a discovery: What if the fact that a person’s ideas does not work, what if that can be quantified objectively? So, what I did was identify that experience as ‘Not work’, and instead of just existing in that state of humility, that my ideas does not work for such a person, I can use idea ‘Not work’, and continue with my thoughts. That is why I recommended the use of the ‘Star Trek’ episode. Here is the quote:-‘I am unable to penetrate defense systems command structure, Captain.’ ‘Try the power systems, Data. See if you can get them to power down.’ ‘Acknowledged. Attempting new power subcommand path.’ In that ‘Star Trek’ episode, even after one attempt did not work, Data continued with a different strategy. Data interacting with Locutus/Picard in such a way is the best illustration I can think of that shows you that idea ‘Not work’ allows you to continue to consider other options, even when the 1st option you were using does not work. I don’t think it’s a strategy that works on everything, but I believe it’s a strategy that should be available to you. Also, I believe this definition of ‘Not work’ allowed me to invent a separate, 2nd definition of ‘Not work’.
