Your concern · the reasoning
You feel the consequences. The causes cannot be felt, only seen in the field. That is why your concern and Rico’s analysis go two separate ways.
Both are important. They just must not get mixed up.
The two paths
What happens to what you write when you order, and where does Rico’s work come from? The drawing shows both side by side.
Rico has summed up the difference in one sentence. He cannot work in the field on the basis of what someone tells him who only feels the effects and does not see the causes. The causes cannot be felt; they can only be seen in the field.
Why the cause often lies elsewhere
Rico uses an image for this. The best marathon runner in the world suddenly has trouble running. Then someone comes along who looks closely and sees: he has a thorn in his foot.
The runner could have described exactly how running feels. He would not have found the thorn that way. It is similar with your concern. You honestly describe what you experience. Only a look into the field shows where it arises in the field.
What would happen if your concern steered the analysis
Rico has described exactly why he sets the concern aside. If he took it as the starting point, it would go like this:
- The concern becomes the center.It is no longer the field that decides where to look, but your description.
- The view is steered.Even without wanting to, you look where it presses. Rico calls this a passive influence.
- The information shows the consequences.It describes what shows, not where it arises.
- The analysis becomes skewed.It is guided by what someone experiences instead of by how the field works.
- The work misses the spot.The work would be on the consequences, and the causes would remain as they are.
That is why, according to Rico, the concern is of no use for the analysis. If it were not set aside, it would rather harm it. He has learned to get around that.
Where your concern counts and where it doesn’t
It counts
- as your need, which is taken seriously
- as a note for you of what you started with
- as a comparison when you look back later
It does not steer
- the analysis of your field
- the choice of what is worked on
- the work on the pressure, not even on a Daily Focus
Even on a Daily Focus, Rico does not respond to the symptoms someone names. He looks at which ones really trigger overload in the field and regulates the pressure in the whole field.
What this means for you
You don’t have to describe anything correctly. You don’t have to know what the cause is, and you don’t have to find words that help Rico. That is a relief, and it is meant that way.
Write down what matters to you, if you want. Or write nothing. Rico reads your field just as closely in both cases.
