Manifesting Empathy
A framework for self-actualization

The first step is to figure out where we are.

Though we can't do that without knowing how we got to wherever we are.

So we start with a structure to picture the process, starting from zero.

Look at your life through a series of age brackets:

0 to 5 // 5 to 12 // 12 to 18 // 18 to 25,

25 to 35 // 35 to 45 // 45 to 60

and beyond.

See all of your selves through these phases.

Your physical, mental, emotional, financial & spiritual selves.

Then write down the answers to the question what are/were the APOCs for each of my selves in each of these brackets?

Achievements, Pitfalls, Opportunities & Challenges.

Through this lens, or these lenses, you can begin to identify formative experiences that continue to affect you.

You can view these experiences through a structured lens, extract the lessons they have to offer, and in this way, release what is no longer needed, while deeply growing from the experience.

This is how you start to deeply forgive yourself; because you deeply know yourself.

The more you work with the joy of knowing the work you are doing, how you are doing that work, and why.

Sometimes a step back is merely preparation for a leap forward.

You become open to correction, because you embrace growth, and in this way find a path towards everlasting evolution ... no bs.


You can pick up the Manifesting Empathy booklet for free at shop.dreamfreely.org.

The booklet provides a more in-depth illustration of the Manifesting Empathy framework.

The next step being to read Diversity Inverted for a US-based, macro-level perspective of these conversations, as they pertain to identity-based demographics.

For those wanting to take the third step, schedule a Personal Diversity Plan meeting with me, and we'll walk through the Manifesting Empathy structure together ... and then co-create your personal diversity plan to expand your awareness and community.

Personal Diversity Plan
No one is prepared; acceptance of which prepares you for the next statement, Identity politics don’t serve like it used to. While that last phrase relied on African American Vernacular English, and is not my normal way of speaking; though in the name of common parlance and contemporary communication styles
