It shouldn’t surprise me, but it still does…people on the video outlets wondering why they can’t see my head, etc.
Part of it is likely because places like YouTube do not have the long description fields any longer, that enabled the person to describe who they are and what they’re about. More of this kind of question has definitely surfaced since the changes were made.
I explain more on the Home page above about why I’m Faceless, but I do not go into a lot of detail.
I thought it was time I did, just to expand on it from a perspective I’ve never presented before:
I”ve been into the self-improvement field for a very long time. I had to be, since I had so many challenges growing up that impacted the quality of my life in severe ways…such as the panic attacks and depression.
A part of being so involved in self-improvement seems to have to…in my opinion…tip over into a person’s personal philosophies and spiritual beliefs about the nature of “Life.”
One of the greatest discoveries I ever came across, one that helped me find a tremendous sense of peace and well-being, was in the art of negating, as much as possible…the ego.
Essentially, learning how to see the mind and thought processes, and all of the accompanying emotions which are for most of us all too often a negative thing…as something that is somewhat separate from who the real “you” is.
For me, this venture was profound and paradigm-shifting on a monumental scale. It changed who I was, and enabled me to achieve states of peace I’d never before experienced.
The ego…that thing we normally refer to as “me”…has a need to defend itself at all times. To explain it from a teacher’s standpoint whom I respect, any idea that threatens the “me’s” sense of how things are, is ultimately akin to a sort of “death threat.” The ego demands that ideas it knows are adhered to, and demands that others fit into that world view.
If one can live without the demands of the ego, one has a lot less to “defend,” and tends to be a lot more “open minded,” for lack of a better “non-mind” explanation. (Yes, I realize that sounds a little funny).
This approach to life has served me well.
And when I began teaching on the internet more about my lifestyle and what I’ve learned, it was imperative to me that what I taught, I was not chained to; I refuse to stop moving forward in my life and sense of accomplishment, and that will always mean that I remain open to the idea that I may be wrong about something that I believe is accurate. This is vital not only to be able to help myself in my on-going maintenance of my health, but even more importantly in being able to help others effectively without having a needed bias about which modality I might choose, that might in turn help someone else.
No needs to defend myself and be bound to only one way or the highway…no ego need to prove I’m right to anyone, at any costs.
This is an unfortunate plague of human kind in my opinion. The ego can be so in control, so overbearing, that a person will adhere to concepts just out of a need to defend one’s self, even if it is at that person’s expense, or worse…at the expense of others.
I want no part of that.
Having no face associated with who I am affords me a little privacy, and a little mysterious fun, while putting focus on my body where the fat-loss results are.
…But it also keeps myself free to, in a sense, be anyone I need to be to be able to be of the most service to others.
Love, Happiness, Health and Peace………….Tim
