Our Way Off Autopilot:
Cross Balancing Tao for
Waking to Mindfulness
We have a Health Crisis:
It is Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical, Societal,
Political, Economic, Ecological and Global.
There is a solution - Noticing How we have been
Automated into Polarized Beliefs about Who We Are.
Mindful Harmony
is beyond - yet within - all the layers of
Yin and Yang, this Binary World that
we see as forever Dividing us. We do this by:
Waking Our Selves
Off Autopilot
World Wide Inside/Between each of us yet also,
within Each Institution and Corporation on the Planet.
Know this: Every Autopilot is Karma
Being Received - yet Doing the Enacting.
Our Way Off Autopilot:
Cross Balancing Tao for Waking to Mindfulness
It can only be done by each of us, moment by moment.

Spanning distinctions, Recipient yet Initiator of Karma, your Autopilot is that
holographic physical body you wear as
your individual consciousness,
separated from any Larger Connection.

Waking Off Autopilot, life becomes a daily journey through Now towards
Home, connecting with your Middle, your Inner Connection with Tao. It’s a
path your four Autopilot Aspects, the Pushing, Negating, Bridging and
Dreaming automated parts of you - seem to want yet resist.

Unbalanced, founded in fear, without your permission they can rule your life.
Writ large, through unawareness they spin the wheel of suffering across our
world. By contrast, life can also be an exploring, a healing of who you are, a
transcending of this Autopilot superstructure.
Diagrams of Your
Autopilot
The link above is to a quick
Overview of the Autopilot,
its development and styles:
Pushing,
Negating,
Bridging &
Dreaming.
The ways you are caught by the
automation of your awareness
can be shown as having evolved
from the struggle of Yin and
Yang as you arrived in this life.
The four patterns or styles of the
Autopilot are there in each of us
- as well as in all the patterns of
every society on the planet.
Consider these suggestions or hypotheses:

Any Anger, Controllingness or Mania within self or with others: this is where Intent is still not clear or balanced - the
narcissistic quadrant of Autopilot reality where PUSHING is yet to be Reformed - beyond enacting Dominator.

Any Depression, Boredom or Being Unhappily Controlled: this is where Sensitivity is still to be opened. It’s the bodily
consciousness within your Autopilot where being overly NEGATING has yet to be Empowered - beyond Victimhood.

Any Anxiety (guilt, worry or other out of balance bodily energy) is a vacillation - caught in polarity, partially aware of
stressing self and others, all while trying to stick to Autopilot BRIDGING - to Routinizing Normality. As increasingly
mindless action you are unable to shift or expand conscious perspective. This routinized, Normal approach is a false
'right action', believing self is only Yang, a presuming you've heard the whole truth of Tao. The listening and the
action have been automated, the spontaneous Mindful process obscured.

Any Addiction is Mindless Intake. It is you stuck in Autopilot DREAMING, unable to shift or expand conscious
perspective. This vacuity is a false innocence, a waiting to hear a Yang or Yin Mindful answer from Middle while
believing no action is needed. In response to societies expectations of work and good citizenship in the Bridging area
of the Autopilot, the Dreaming sector is how society rewards you: get drunk, stoned, addicted to web surfing,
shopping or passive, unmindful TV watching.

Overall, healing the patterns between those states of Anger or Depression, Anxiety or Addiction are where Dominant
PUSHING and Victimized NEGATING, routinized BRIDGING and sleepy DREAMING
have yet to be Harmonized in Mindfulness.

Honouring those processes of  Reformation, Empowerment and Mindfulness will lead to your evolving Enlightenment.
Waking Our Selves Off Autopilot
In the last diagram below, the larger, outside ring is now reversed.

In place of enacting Pushy Dominance you are
Asserting as clear Balancing ENERGY.

Instead of suffering as Negating Victim you are
Accepting the OPENNESS of Balancing.

Living beyond Scripted Bridging you bring COMPASSION to your world.

Having real capacity to wake up from Dreaming, you have true
PATIENCE for the healing of the world.

You are then finding yourself choosing more and more to be Mindful:
beyond the lies or half truths of your Autopilot.

The Autopilot has you and me, our relationships and our whole world Caught.

On Autopilot none of us are able to Flow. Within the matched divisions of these four either/or styles we are
always (at some level) in Conflict. I'll prove this to you.

The quadrants in the chart below are my names for these forms of automation. As any of them you are
incomplete - not whole, not mindful. Segmented, while
On Autopilot in most cases you’re only
Aware of yourself as One of these four Modes at a time…

Two of these are our more Normal states, two are more Instinctual, usually only experienced
when stressed - or stressing... Reflect on the diagram below for a bit and see which is
which and if any of that is wrong.

Bridging is the default, normal, compulsively working, somewhat actively mindless style we usually believe
ourselves to be (or who we should be…) When stressed or tired, your next default position is  
Dreaming
(passive mindlessness, thus alcohol, substance, TV, web surfing, food or some other addiction arrives.)
These two are our Normal World of: Work hard, Play easy…

The other two styles (
Negating and Pushing) are usually less overtly conscious areas - until you’re
Really Stressed or wanting to Do the Stressing… Victim and Bully respectively.

All four Autopilot Styles are like Biosystem Scripts for our Living. They have also been projected out into our
societies for thousands of years. Now they operate through societal institutions that Structure our whole
world... These four areas shift and change in you based in immediate yet also long term internal and
external circumstances, consciously or non-consciously. We interact with each other, within
ourselves and with our worldly environments far too often in these modalities,
caught, believing these four styles are 'who we are'.

Consider the implications: check out Bridging or Pushing as your two Output Options. They are seemly you
Piloting the self - and your World (!) into the Future... Yet there is possibly very little of you Mindfully
balancing all four sectors of self for advancing your life. That means, to put it in Eastern terms, that
what is Not Conscious, Your Intake, your Past - your Karma - will be unconsciously
effecting how you're in Charge of your life.

By contrast, say you live Dreaming or Negating, your focus on Intake, on the Past - how you've been Stressed.
Identifying yourself with those, you'll always either dreamily be wanting something better,
unable to attain it or else passively aggressively attempting to negate self.
You'll end up Numbed Out or else exhausted and depressed.

Some choice you have between these four, yes? Point is, you need All Four sectors of renewed in the Now...
These are your only four options whenever you are Not Noticing where (thus who) you are.
Try it out. You can feel for them within self or else over there in others in your life.

Below is the same diagram from above shifted over into a Taoist format. Here your Intake (the Stressed Self) is in
black and your Output (the Stressing Self) is in white. Self Promoting is more on the upper half and
Self Denying more on the lower half of the diagram.

This Mandala is actually a three dimensional representation. As you look at this, your Past is behind you and your
future would be represented by you journeying through this page, day - or computer screen!
