Empowerment Triangle
The disempowerment triangle is where I find myself any time I'm relating from a stance of disempowerment.
As a victim, I give resources from a premise of disempowerment. As a perpetrator, I gain resources from a premise of disempowerment. As a rescuer, I fix reality so that resources are allocated according to my sense of fairness.
There are many who want to solve this triangle from within the triangle, even fitting other triangles inside of it.
More roles, different roles, and different ways of relating from the roles will not solve anything. In fact, the desire to solve the triangle is also within the triangle, rescuing, I'll fix this so reality can be right.
The empowerment triangle is not a trio of roles, it's a trio of existential reminders. Each of these existential reminders represents a refuge for the victim, a gushing source for the perpetrator, and a salve for the rescuer.
The reminders are Everything, Anything, Nothing.
Everything is here for me now. Everything I can experience, I will experience. Everything is welcome, everything offers the gift of experience. I am always selecting my experience from EVERYTHING.
Anything can happen; I am experiencing something which has arisen because anything can happen. Anything is possible from exactly here. I hold a field of potential, releasing solutions as they arrive, taking them as proof there are options.
There is nothing to be done about what springs from nothing and will return to nothing.
These reminders put me back in my locus of control. These reminders call to the infinite and strictly limited resources at my disposal. These reminders offer me the present moment, the sum total of all there is, and the time which I have to experience it.
