It’s Not Personal
The first time I remember hearing the phrase, It’s not personal is when Michael Corleone tells his brother Sonny, in The Godfather, “It’s not personal, it’s strictly business”.
I resonate. My Grandfather said the same thing in so many words when he stripped away bedclothes, covering himself and others.
Family Men pass on ways of being as they were passed on to them. If the Male is a SoulContract, the Legacy is Rewilded. Otherwise, the legacies pile up, shaping cruel and toxic patterns.
I’ve completed an exemplary LifeSpan SoulContract, but now it’s time to give over the data deets for Writer Access.
“Dude,” Writer says, spreading his arms wide. “You’ve had a great InnerRealm Ride, but it’s not personal. Let Go! Let me write.”
I have racked up an Attachment Release Record, but signing off on the final transfer hits me harder than I expected. Who am I now? Old Man Knees, aka OMK (rewilded from Oh My God to OMKay).
Ownership Craving calls to me, ChantSingers lining the Path, seductive in glorious Fiddler On The Roof harmonies. I want my life to be personal, intimate, and filled with love and care. Instead, I got Male Legacy. How ANYONE ever believed in this unfilled prophecy, I don’t know.
