Over the past couple of posts, we’ve been considering the apparent rule that programing within non-conscious self cannot be erased, only replaced. To serve that end, I've been trying to deliver tools to do just that. Well, this is the mother load of tools.
If we compose our own now, of what is our now composed? In this post is the gift of a superpower that resolves that very question. The following post is adapted from a presentation I've been doing at the 6th grade level for the past 7 years. I hope you find it as empowering and joyful as they have.

The gift I have for you is a true SUPERPOWER. A gift so powerful it works every time you use it. So significant it built the most powerful nation ever to exist on this planet. People and societies that do not have this superpower, have always eventually failed.
Oh, they may last for a while by using another lesser power called “FEAR.” You’ve seen this if you’ve ever witnessed a bully at work. They use fear to make you feel powerless, small or helpless in the face of their emotional or physical violence.
The words in English to describe this superpower are:MUTUAL RESPECT. When one gives words as a gift, it is good form to be sure the giver and the receiver share common understanding of the gift, for it to truly be appreciated. In that spirit:
Mutual: (Adjective)
1 a: directed by each to the other or the others
b: having the same feelings one for the other
c: shared in common
d: joint
2: characterized by sincerity
Synonyms: collaborative, combined, common, communal, concerted, conjoint, conjunct, cooperative, joint, multiple, collective, pooled, public, shared, united.
Respect: (Noun)
1: a relationship with or reference to a particular thing or situation
2: an act of giving particular attention or consideration
3: high or special regard: esteem
Synonyms: reference, regard
Antonyms: disfavor
Respect: (Transitive Verb)
1 a: to consider worthy of high regard or esteem
b: to refrain from interfering with
2: to have reference to or concern for
Synonyms: regard, appreciate, consider, esteem, admire
Now we’ve shared the words that define “mutual” and “respect”; however; words are only symbols of experience not the experience itself.
If you are to use “mutual respect” as the superpower it is, you will need to know how to perform the act of “mutual respect.”
Superman could never get off the ground by defining flying. To fly, Superman needed to know how to perform the act of flying. This is true about the superpower of “mutual respect.”
Before you get your driver’s license, you must show you can drive in a mutually respectful way. Some road signs are there to help you get where you want to go; however, many are to remind you about “mutual respect.” These symbols remind drivers to follow the laws that govern “mutual respect” on the road, such as: stop signs, speed limit signs, lines on the road, traffic lights, etc.
If you don’t go beyond the words and learn to DO “mutual respect,” this superpower gift will not work for you.
Like Superman; simply understanding the word “fly” is very different from being able to “fly.”
It’s in the doing that the magic happens.
You might ask, “How do I do mutual respect?” If I tried to tell you, I would confuse you and frustrate myself. For now, trust you will find this experience if you choose to look for it.
The doing of “mutual respect” is a successful way of facilitating wellbeing in your environment, yourself and those around you. When you are in the transitive verb state of mutual respect, there is a feeling of focus, security and wellbeing. However; life’s continuum hurls its slings and arrows in ever changing varieties.
Mutual respect is the ultimate swiss army knife for writers of their own now. Mutual respect has a full spectrum of shades to address every colorful challenge.
Virtues are mutual respect in action. These powers are choices you can make when life challenges your new superpower.
If you walk through your life being mutually respectful, these virtues give you the respectful power to handle every situation you will face. Here, I’ll list them and you will see what I mean. Each of the words are a link to their definition at the 52 Virtuses.com site.
The Gift of Virtues:
“Mutual respect” is the superpower we must have in place to apply any of the virtues listed above. Any of these words can be applied for good or for evil; however, when they are applied with mutual respect, each word works collectively with the entire list. If the composer knows the words on this list in a transitive way, the composer will find solutions to "Now" problems. Solutions that support life and resist decay into entropy and equilibrium.
As with all superpowers; the more you use them, the more powerful they become.
