The Fallacy of the Fix-It Fixation

Have you heard yourself saying these phrases or listening to other people saying them? If so, this is the definition of the Fix-It Fixation . . . and it is yourprojection, a symbol of your reality. It does not necessarily mean that it is true.

Let’s look at these three phrases one at a time and then you can use the concept to exam your own fix-it fixations:

“I feel I need to be a healer.”

People use this phrase when they want to save the world in some way asserting the idea that the earth and its peoples need to be fixed or healed. The person saying it is fed up with how the world is working and wants to “make it better” or has recently taken a certification in some type of alternative energy work and now wants to create a business.

While there is certainly a certain market for new enterprises, the idea that there is a “need” to be a healer carries with it the connotation that the person now owns the responsibility, obligation and/or “need” to fix everything that he or she believes is broken. The problem with this theory is that you only see that which resonates with your frequency so if you are seeing a failed world, you are seeing the failure within yourself.

Believe it or not, this planet has gotten along for billions of years without humanity. The span of time in which human beings have lived here is minute in comparison to the life of the earth. As a globe rotating in a solar system within a galaxy, the earth goes through its cycles of destruction and creation, as does every universe within every dimension. The hubris that human beings are capable of changing the natural cycles of the earth is laughable. If this planet no longer wanted humanity aboard, it could shake it off with one good, planetary 12.0 earthquake.

As to human beings needing to be healed or fixed, look again at the projections of the individual “healer”. It is impossible to fix something that is not broken (or, even the horse has to make the decision to drink after you take it to the water). If a person feels the need to change his or herself, he or she will do it in the appropriate timing. The idea of going to healers walks hand-in-hand with giving away personal, authentic power and ability. Much like the earth, with one good shake anyone can shift the circumstances of life. All it takes is the knowing that it is possible. No one “needs” to be a healer or to be healed. It is a projection based upon the desire to control….[Click Here To Continue Reading]
