Be Right & Lose The Game Do you know someone who thinks they’re always right? No matter the situation, they are the final word? You need to understand that they were programmed to be exactly the way they are. And you can use the knowledge to your advantage. Your subconscious mind is a memory bank and operates very much like a computer. It’s programmed for survival and for you to be “right.” Everything you consider saying or doing is quickly run through your data banks, comparing the present to related past experiences. Your computer then approves your actions as compared to the past, for in the past you “survived.” Computers are logically programmed machines and cannot be wrong. To be wrong is a malfunction. If your subconscious computer allowed you to be wrong, its survival is threatened. So, the only way it can work is to make you feel correct. It does not reason and it does not care if you get what you want out of life. It just needs to be right to protect itself, even if you lose the game. To rise above this programming, learn to be aware of your programming so you can detach from the buttons that cause you to act like a robot. A robot has no choice in the way it acts. It has wiring and circuits that are set so when a button is pushed, it reacts according to programming. In many areas of your life you’re programmed the same way. When your button is pushed you need to be right. Even if you’re not right, you’ll find some way to justify yourself. Only those with enlightened awareness of how human beings work understand this. Winning the game is far more satisfying than getting to be right.
Seminar Dialogue “Can the need to be right come from past-life programming?” asked Anita, a pretty woman in her mid-twenties. “We are all programmed to need to be right, just as we’re programmed to stand and walk on our feet,” I replied. “But an excessive need to be right might go back to a past-life cause.” “But what do you do? My fiancé has to be right about everything, all the time. No one else is ever right. It’s enough to drive you nuts.” She rolled her eyes at the ceiling. “Do you want to remain with him?” “Of course, I love him.” “Then you’d better develop an enlightened attitude allowing him to be right while you win the game. You have to learn to override your own ‘rightness’ button. Knowing how he is programmed to function, you can let him be right. Remember, unless you allow him to be right, his survival is threatened and there is going to be trouble. So you can quickly allow him to be right with a phrase such as, ‘I understand how you feel.’ In so doing, you learn to override your own ‘rightness’ button. Knowing how he is programmed to function, you can let him be right. Remember, unless you allow him to be right, his survival is threatened and there is going to be trouble. So you can quickly allow him to be right with a phrase such as, ‘I certainly acknowledge your position on the matter.’ You’re not admitting he is right, you’re just taking him off ‘tilt.’ His survival will no longer be threatened and he can concentrate upon the problem.”
Seminar Case History “It’s the seminar coordinator’s job to have facial tissues on hand for participants who start crying,” I explained. “In the Bushido Training victim/bad guy session just about everyone cries. But at the last minute my coordinator realized she’d forgotten the boxes of tissues. She called hotel housekeeping, but the staff had gone home. She ran to the assistant manager and said, ‘I have to have several boxes of facial tissue right away.’ The assist replied, ‘You should have arranged that with housekeeping.’ My coordinator let him be right, saying, ‘I realize I should have done that, but I didn’t. What can we do about it?” She could have argued with the manager, challenging his rightness. She could have reminded him how much we were paying for the ballroom, and how many seminar participants were staying at his hotel. But instead, she defused the situation by letting him be right. Then, she added, ‘What can we do about it?’ The moment the manager got what he needed, he could concentrate upon our need -- the facial tissues. He raided the women’s restroom supply locker and gave us six boxes of Kleenex.” * * * * * All Dick Sutphen Master of Life Columns can be read at www.dicksutphen.com / click on “Articles & Columns” * * * * * “SOUL BLUEPRINTS” is a new Sutphen Seminar to be conducted for the first time in Scottsdale, Arizona, June 29-30, 2002.
