The Secret to Being Happy

Welcome to Discovery Diagnostics. Just a heads up on what to expect during our Singapore facilitator’s training in Geylang on the dates that you have signed up for.

Imagine being able to take a “selfie” of yourself purely through first principles, observation and external validation. This is behavioural science based on the elemental template on the 7Modalities as taught in the Bible.

Is there a science to behaviour in the Bible, a God psychology? Going back to the pattern shown to Moses in the Tabernacle, (circa 1571 – 1592 before Christ) we see how the final chapter in the Exodus (chapter 40) lays out a possible template for our investigations into the architecture of the human soul, from heaven’s point of view.

Hebraic secrets from the Torah that uncover a pattern that forms the basis of talent diagnostics unraveling the gift of God.

An unexamined life is not worth living.

What makes life worth living? Why is tomorrow better than yesterday? Your elemental archetype is evidence for the existence of God and a prime example of intelligent design.

Each of you will be assigned a specific team based on self-organised validation of archetype and defaults. What do you recognise in yourself that makes you special? Where have you seen yourself engrossed to the point of losing track of time?

Each learning group or team will go on to examine the eight key default natural abilities (DNA) within each archetype and you will be able to change groups to fine-tune your self-research.

Achieve self-awareness toward life impact beginning in the marriage and family, spiralling out toward church, relations and soul mates of a similar modality.

Fibonacci acceleration that spirals outward from self, to spouse, to family, church, community, society and the world.

There is a huge difference between getting what you want and wanting what you get. This is one of those fibbonacci principles that spiral into every aspect of life, learning and futures.

How to define “happiness” asks the teacher? It is simply getting what you want (numerator) divided by wanting what you get (denominator).

It is this equation that determines how much turbulence there is in nations, states, communities, churches, families, marriages and in your personal life and relationship with heaven too.

From the husband in a the covenant with his wife, to a job seeker looking to jump ship, to a backsliding individual. You have gotten what you want, but do you want what you have gotten? Answer this, and you will be the happiest people in all the earth.

Direct Assistance to Victims of Trauma (DAVT)

There is a math to every promise of maturity, “when you face trials of any kind” consider it “pure joy” since He has our backs and we are “not lacking anything”.

“Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” (James 1:4)

The 6 sources where trauma is most commonly seen:

Don’t tell people what their modality is, let them tell you what their archetype is.

Let them uncover the hidden and latent for themselves. Don’t guess or label people in a certain type without examining the self-documentary evidence and the 360 feedbacks from family and friends.

• Autobiographical section

• 360 feedback via sms

• Life Impact in 14-words

We must remain mentally flexible in our conceived mental models of personhood lest we end up doing violence to the inner wisdom with which our modalities speak. Misdiagnosis is worse than no diagnosis at all.

A good name is money in the bank (or, “better than silver and gold”.)

Why? Because when the family unit is operating at its optimum, there is awareness of giftedness and self-mastery needed to take on the challenges that life throws at us. Of course, church and community living helps, but there is no substitute for a godly Father an industrious Mother. These two constitute the “rock from whence we are hewn” (Isaiah 51:1).

Self-authored biography: Describe one of parents, either Mother or Father in not more than 14-words.

When the Gardens dies, the Village dies. The call to bless God and flourish is our chief aim and priority. No gifts should get in the way – including the gifts of wife, mother, child, property or life itself.

Nothing should distract us from our focus on God and following the Lamb. There are many spacious & pleasant boulevards in this world we must avoid.

Keeping it simple and traveling light should be our motto. When the gardens of the soul die, the village dies. The man in the arena is chiefly responsible to hear from God and having heard, to obey.

Our primary calling is to the Word – to find out what God is saying and do it, laying aside every weight to run. Only a life of undistracted focus on God’s word can heal the empty, broken and inhospitable landscape of uncertainty, misery and confusion.

The secrets from your garden will unlock mysteries about wholeness, soul delight and shalom in this world – but only as you prepare to step into eternity with God through Christ will you understand the true meaning of this life as a rehearsal for the next.

Sow, engage, eat and repeat. God has a garden. It is filled with seed-bearing fruit, exotic spices, and delicate herbs.

The soul is a garden, and just like the botanicals of the earth, it is a labor intensive activity to make something beautiful out of something so dry and infertile.

God calls us to tend the gardens of the soul. It is a costly ministry. It’s all about you but you are not what it’s all about.

The real business of today is to unlock talent and release gifting that you may not even realise is waiting to be birthed in your tomorrow. Every soul is ordained for greatness. You are no exception. The questions you ask will open up new worlds to your understanding including the pressing need for and discipline in the mastery of oneself.

Paul’s travels took him further afield as the kingdom was established in specific geographical locations across Turkey into Europe.

Finally he gets to Rome where the human periodic table is revealed of modal excellencies, the Roman matrix found in 12:6-8 (gifts of Abba Father).

These are “stirred up” involving days, weeks, months and sometimes years of teaching, coaching and mentoring.

These innate and elemental gifts are given to everyone and everyone has at least 1 of the 7 archetypes that are based on the same pattern as shown to Moses in the 7 pieces of furniture in the tabernacle.

These are elemental gifts that are your birthright defaults (already in you), “geniuses” if you like, that need to be “stirred up” in a loving and safe environment.

The other two lists – Corinthian and Ephesian matrix, are for the establishment of the local church and the Kingdom that needs to be imparted by the laying on of hands, and have an almost immediate, instantaneous and spontaneous effect.

The impartation by the Spirit expands the core, the modalities keeps the whole system in perfect order in a finely-tuned “universe” of charisms.

The kingdom, thus, as Jesus says is like a store man who brings out both old and new stuff out of his storehouse

If the fish is sick, don’t treat the fish, change the water! We help pastors discover genius by modalities is not just a life passion but it’s also a deepening burden to decode, define and declare the hidden and elemental in you. Welcome to talent diagnostics. Welcome to Oikos. Welcome to my world.

“There is a pervasive form of modern violence to which the idealist most easily succumbs: activism and overwork. The rush and pressure of modern life are a form, perhaps the most common form, of its innate violence. To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of conflicting concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too many projects, to want to help everyone in everything is to succumb to violence. The frenzy of the activist neutralises his or her work, it destroys the fruitfulness of his or her work, because it kills the root of inner wisdom that makes work fruitful.” – Thomas Merton
