Commitment


Commitment is a VERY misunderstood distinction. Commonly, a commitment is thought to be a promise to do something or a promise to be a certain way. This is incorrect. Promises to do or be are only intentions, which are highly empowered if the intention has a high probability of being fulfilled or poorly empowered if the intention has a low probability of being fulfilled. A commitment is not an intention. It is also not a promise, or a wish, hope, or dream or a “maybe.” Technically all of these exist in the future while commitments exist only in the present. If it is understood that a human is ALWAYS intending and if it is understood that the ‘mirror reflection of life’ shows the exact state of these intentions then we can see that some of the intentions have been fulfilled and some not fulfilled and some partially fulfilled. Commitment, as a noun, means an already fulfilled intention, full, partial or otherwise. This fulfilled intention may turn out to be satisfying, catastrophic, neutral, boring, a glorious surprise, a depressing mistake or anything else you can imagine after you view the result. In other words, the mirror reflection of life displays the intentions that you were and possibly still are, committed to. From the point of view of both empowerment and the eternal present (timelessness) commitments and the mirror reflection of life become nearly synonymous.
