Am I being me?

The top point of the TRIUMPHAGRAM asks: Am I being me?

This is an extremely important question. In all situations, you should ask yourself "am I being me" because if you are being yourself, and others aren't being themselves, then we run the risk you being me, me being she, and she being he--so who will be you or me?

Many students have trouble with this point, so let's take a real-life example of three friends: Molly, Polly, and Dolly. Molly is sexually unsatisfied with her boyfriend and goes to Polly (who sleeps around) to see if she should dump him. She follows Polly's advice and starts an open relationship. She begins seeing the superintendent of her building on the side, but is unhappy and starts avoiding him, which results in her having to unclog her own toilets. Polly, on the other hand, really likes a hermaphrodite and so she goes to Dolly, a bi-sexual, for suggestions on what to do and ends up dumping the boy because Dolly says she can't handle him. This makes her cynical on love, which means she drinks more and sleeps with more men, which makes her more cynical. Dolly, finally, begins to believe Molly's admonitions that "playing both fields" is a sin and begins to read a lot of Molly's vampire erotica to stop thinking about the problem, eventually squandering her life's savings on buying that shirt Brad Pitt wore when he kissed Antonio Banderas in Interview with a Vampire on eBay.

Molly: without THE PATH, she's crying on the inside

The problem is, that by doing what Polly says, Molly becomes more Polly and less Molly. Similarly, Polly becomes more Dolly, and Dolly becomes more Molly. But if Molly is Polly who is Dolly who is Molly, then how can this possibly work out? Obviously, it means that I am you are she who is he who is me but then the I and the me get lost in the you and the she and the he, so then who are we? In the end, we all get lost.

To get found again, we need THE PATH. THE PATH reveals the inner you that can make all the choices that you need made, without needing to get lost by asking others for advice. The purpose of THE PATH is, with Doctor Mike's help, to find the inner you, and listen to it. This is why this point is red on the TRIUMPHAGRAM, because red represents the heart, and one's heart is always constant.

Let's take a look at Molly, Polly and Dolly's situations again, with Doctor Mike's guidance. Doctor Mike, finding the inner selves of each girl, would recommend that Molly keep her open relationship an absolute secret, and only have a physical relationship on the side with someone that can hold her confidence absolutely, like a mystical guru or a very insightful lecturer with three PhDs from a reputable Mexican university. Polly, similarly, should give up on men and trying to find love and devote all her time to something "higher", like raising money and donating her townhouse to a reputable organization that helps thousands, like the Charitable Association of Self-Helpers, whose finances, incidentally, are handled by Doctor Mike (NOTE: please make all checks out the Association's formal acronym, "CASH"). Dolly, finally, should start a relationship with Polly's hermaphrodite, which will be monogamous but still give her the best of both worlds. She should also give up on vampire erotica and dedicate herself to memorizing Plan YOU: Be Better at Being.

So, next time you run into a difficulty, first consult the top point of the TRIUMPHAGRAM and ask: Am I being me?
