Mastery is Yours to Grab — It’s Go Time!

Mastery is not only for a handful of people — it’s available to everyone

Our culture progresses when we encourage people to explore their unique untapped potentials, accessing their inner capacity to blossom under the right conditions. Unfortunately, the traditional view of mastery limits our possibilities. There’s a new form of mastery that our cultural awareness is opening up to that we all can embrace. In this observation, I will discuss how you can start researching the clean definition of mastery and how to locate it throughout your day.

How Many Experts Do You Need to Generate a Paperclip?

Let’s consider how many people it takes to generate (create) one paperclip. Try to envision each step of the process. From extraction of raw materials and manufacturing, to holding the paper clip in your hand. How many of those involved had to hone a certain skill to execute their part? Try to analyze this as precisely as you can.

For now, we will not consider the possible complications of ethics that may arise. Our observation and outline will focus on:

• How many steps are there?
• What expertise does the process require?
• How much time does each step take?

We rarely acknowledge our everyday experts. All the amazing ability that goes into making something as a paper clip, a water filter, a travel experience, a knitted sweater and much more.

Mastery is not only the jaw dropping performances we see once in a blue moon. Running faster than lighting is an extraordinary feat, and mastering both origami and aerodynamics to fold a paper airplane like John Collins is pretty incredible as well.

In the paper clip production line, we find experts who can:

• Manufacture at incredible speeds
• Manipulate the materials involved
• Ship and deliver efficiently so the paper clip hits stores the next day or week

Our Cultural Framework Requires Specialists

Our culture depends on quirky and niche expertise. Sadly, we rarely acknowledge this.

I am asking you to entertain the countless of areas that mandate mastery:

• button experts
• biodegradable water pouch specialist
• floor painters
• daycare teachers
• gong makers
• card throwers
• photonic chip researchers
• skin care formulators
• milk masters gone nut milk innovators
• musical arrangers
• cartoon artists — just to mention a few.

We need people who know their equations and can collaborate with other masters. We need generators who want to research, learn, practice, share and teach their expertise.

Mastery may disguise itself at times. It then bubbles up when we least expect it. We can hone a single subject or a crossover of many. Either way works and both are potent. Whatever you choose — you don’t need to let the past define what your future can be.

Great Collaboration Happens When We Access Our Full Generative Potential

A culture that encourages subpar makers results in a subpar life experience for everyone involved.

It is impossible for one person alone to render every single particle in existence. Our reality depends on co-creation and collaboration. Great partnerships require that we master generations in many industries and fields. (Read this post: ‘If You Want to Have, You Have to Be Cool When Others Have Too — Basic Energetic Pattern Reversal’ to understand how equation verification works in our culture.)

Many of us hide amongst our teams and behind our collaborations. We use them to avoid what we personally learn and calibrate. This then caps the group’s energetic potential.

If everyone honed their mastery and understood their powerful skill-sets more deeply, collaborations would flow easier. The trust would be there, the expertise available, the communication would be clear, and the energy could move uninterrupted at top speeds.

The more we devote our time to bloom our most aligned skill-sets, the more elevated our culture will become. Imagine what collaboration and life could look like then. Instead of having meetings about pushing out “competitors” from the market — what if we could collaborate to elevate the market together?

I know we’re not there yet, but I think it’s worth entertaining the thought.
