SUBTERFUGE FOR PROTECTION

David faces down Goliath. Gandhi faces down the British establishment. You face down a tormentor, shore up a leaking dam, go into the dark to repair the broken fence and bring back the dying animal. The Subterfuge of Compassionate Mightiness was taken on and used for self/Self and others in order to protect life, dignity, equity, and harmony.

Perhaps the hero is part of your character from birth; perhaps not. Perhaps it leaps out at you when it is needed, and you thrust your self into the role. Still, do you think that one hero has passed through the halls of this human mortality who did not suffer fear and doubt? Do you think that any hero has not to some degree, worn a form of Subterfuge?

When the conditions arise and protection is needed, you may balk. Why me? I’m not strong enough to do this—or bold enough, or brave enough, or skilled enough. Perhaps. But, perhaps there is no one else to do this thing that needs doing in that moment. Can it be you? Can you take on the Subterfuge of hero and do this thing that needs doing?

What happens when the person who needs protection is your self/Self? What happens when the only person who can protect you IS you? Many allow themselves to say ‘yes’ when they mean ‘no’, to make excuses for unfair and abusive treatment from others, and to place themselves in harm's way for the exchanges they receive, Believing them to be equitable.

What happens when you play the role of Protector, beginning with your Self? What happens when you balance the conditions in your own life first, when you recognize your own value and your own place in the communities—when you see the give and take of life and your place in it? How can you be your own hero?

Many people consider themselves last, whether due to socio-cultural training, a burden of responsibilities, fear, doubt, closure to love and acceptance, or comfort with smallness.  

If you stay small and unworthy, you will not be expected to produce great things. That seems simple and apparent. The world is keeping you from producing great things, with its great weights and responsibilities, with its inabilities to see you and understand who you are and what you fear. Right?

How would your personal hero feel about those conditioned thoughts and beliefs? How would you be the star of a theatre production, its hero, thinking thoughts such as these?

Train for the role of star. Build your role as hero. You are not small and unworthy. Heroes cannot be small, nor unworthy. How could they produce results? The world cannot keep a hero from producing great things. Its weights and responsibilities are markers for what needs doing. If the world fails to see and understand the hero, it is not fault of the hero, but the fault of the world. The hero continues, and brilliantly, giving and seeking to serve and do good.

How do your lines as hero, Great Protector, read? What is a hero’s language? What does a hero see when he looks upon the world and sees how he may be of service? Using Subterfuge for Protection, you will come to know your hero, and in doing so, will know your value.
