Search for Threats,
Be Prepared
Be Aware
Sounds a Bit Negative for this writing doesn’t it, well as
with everything, it’s an issue of perspective. In examine these Ideas, actions
and Habits try to remain Neutral, There is no Good, Bad Right, Wrong, just
reality a life through time and facts. But “Boy Scouts” some of the most
successful Young men in the United States have ONE main underlining Principle, “Be
Prepared”. It is to the end of that Ideal that this Healthy Human Habit is
intended to aide.
Perhaps one of the most Complex and Dynamic of the Healthy
Human Habits it is also arguably One of the most important. This is because our
Alertness and Awareness in the Dimension of life and time we are navigating (LIFE).
In researching this Book and the H3 System it is Mind BLOWING the intelligence,
data, and basically command and Programming required just to “Live”. To Exist.
To walk, talk, manipulate, communicate… etc. requires Millions of Calculations,
Solutions, and anticipated goals. Our Subconscious and Conscious awareness
Networks so well that even the most, ignorant, uneducated, and Distracted
human, can operate a system so complex as to walk, talk, breathe, Build and
Repair, Record, consume Resources, refine and Create Fuel, and adapt.
The more aware of these actions and your Relevant need the
more “in Control” of your mind and Body you will become. One way to achieve
this goal is to begin to be “Conscious” of each of these processes and the
results they produce. You are Probably thinking by now “Ok, but what does that
have to do with Threats. When you begin to “Search for Threats’ in an effort to
Build a Healthy Human Habit, this awareness will become more apparent to you and
conversely more required.
Enough with the Technical stuff let’s get to the skinny here.
Think of a Door. What is a Door? An Entrance from one Reality to another,
Right. Because that is exactly what it is. Using words like “Prepared”, “Alert”
and “Aware” You can probably going to be able to guess why this Habit starts
with a “Door”. And before this Journey, Remember Although Danger is Real
Searching for Threats Must NOT lead to FEAR. (False, Evidence, Appearing, Real)
When you pass through that door your Eyes Take in all the new info and Begins
Processing and Organizing the Objects, Dimensions, Ideas, and People in this
New reality you have entered. By the time your hand has closed the door behind
you, your mind has already Stored and/or began calculating the Data from that
initial Scan you just completed and discarded, ignored, or otherwise eliminated
the Data that based on your conscious expectations of this reality deem irrelevant
and/or useless. Now for Most of Us packed in with the latter is often a
Plethora of Info/Data that was valuable/important. However since we leave it to
our subconscious auto pilot, that was in most cases Programmed by Only the
Direct positive and negative experiences in our life up to that moment.
No “Searching for Threats” Puts this “Initial” Scan into the
hands of our Conscious thought. Now we can not only apply those past Direct
positive and negative experiences and wisdom but NOW we can use the Super
Computer in your Skull to combine that Data (Past Wisdom”) in a Dynamic Forward
way. In other words you can Now begin to Gain “wisdom” From Experiences that
Never actually occurred as your imagination is no involved and can and will
create scenarios in which learning is required. Learning is Defined by Tony
Robbins as “Building Relationship between that which we already Know and a New
Idea Never before experienced”. This being said “searching for Threats” is not
only a tool for being Prepared but Also an EXCELLENT tool for advancing your
own Knowledge and Understanding of reality.
So how do we Learn to Search for Threats? This is easy. Use
your Imagination
. After reading this paragraph take a pad of paper and a
pen and enter your living room. Now on this piece of paper Start with the Real
Threats. Look around the room and using your imagination, if you were stumbling
around, say drunk or intoxicated and stumbling around. What Objects could cause
Injury? Starting with the floor write down all Trip hazards, items that in the
dark even could become obstacles. Now raise your eyes a little. What objects
would/could get involved if you Did trip in any given area? Would you reach out
for and possibly pull down compounding and even increasing possibility and
intensity of Injuries to yourself, write it down, then also write down the
Property Damage possible. Your list should include, coffee tables, end tables, TV
sets, Lamps, Bookshelves, rugs, Childs toys….etc. With each item use your
imagination to in vision the Problem as
if it actually happened. For Instance one of the MOST Dangerous pieces of
furniture Normally found in the Living room is the TV. The TV Set especially involving
children results in a SUPRIZING number of ER visits and Even Death. If you’re
Child was in the living room when you began this exercise Chances are you may
have imagined this one, as many children sit on the floor in front of the TV.
You might say well there is Nothing to push it over, Remember those ER visits I
mentioned? They thought that same thing... Those who have NEVER made the ER
visit for a falling or tipping TV are those that used their Imagination, or if
you wish “Foresight” to see that threat and instead of asking what could Tip
it, the thought Pro-actively asked the question “That Could Fall, What Can I do
to Stop It”. Same problem, same observation just a different perspective.
Starting to get the Idea. As you go through your home you will be astounded by
what you learn about yourself, your family, and home. Don’t be overwhelmed,
this exercise itself just help you become safer. This is because you have made
a NEW Conscious evaluation of the objects in your reality and how they Directly
relate to you and your life around them. What this means is next time you walk
in the kitchen and the wife is frying eggs you will notice the frying pan
Handle is overhanging the stove and simply reach over without a second thought
and turn the handle in. 
Now these are just two examples. This is because this isn’t to
show you “What to Look for”, That you WILL learn with Practice. This Chapter is
to demonstrate the Importance of this habit. Now for many, this habit may
already exist. People trained by the military, investigators, scientists, scholars,
and even writers. Our minds need a reason to create a habit, Either to Gain
pleasure, or to Avoid Pain. This Book is intended to help anyone attain these
Healthy Human Habits, and since for each individual there is no way to come up
with a Universal Pleasure response for anyone to use to Habitualize this
process. However, Fear Unfortunately is Just as effective and since Fear is (False,
Evidence, Appearing, Real) The Listing Threat Technique WILL work since our
Mind when Combining facts (Items and locations in a given room) with
Imagination Sees the imagined scenarios as reality and acts accordingly. Now
that you have went through your home and made your lists label the Notepad
Averted Threats. This reaffirms that although they are threats You are
confident (Thus more effective) that you can overcome if not prevent the listed
catastrophes. Take your averted threats Journal and go around your yard, your
vehicle, and even place of work. Ask each member of the Family to complete one
as well and read theirs. Again locking different perspectives while increasing
the Validation of how important this is by Noticing Dangers to your family that
were previously overlooked. After completing the exercise as described you will
find yourself Making a game of it, pointing out issues and dangers everywhere
you go, to Solidify this habit encourage yourself. You will feel Gratitude, as
if you won a prize when you notice things others don’t. As explained earlier
this will increase intelligence as well which in turn will cause your brain to
want to continue since By nature your Mind Craves Data like Johnny 5 Craves Input.
