The Truth behind experts

Posted by Suman on May 22, 2020

When it comes to experts,

there are two kinds of them you will see in any domain.

There are those who are simply pretending to be an expert.

It will be obvious in how they look and their mannerism.

A simple example is a "trainer" who is out of shape

or whose movement patterns are a blatant display of ignorance.

These "experts" are a disgrace to the human race.

For they are mere amateurs or learners masking their skill-level

by flashing their "expertise".

And then there are experts who, deep down, are the real deal.

This will be obvious in how they carry themselves

or how they demonstrate their abilities.

The counter-example for the "just for show trainer" above

would be one who will "walk the talk" and display

exemplary movement patterns, whatever may be the sport.

However, no matter their rarity,

even these seemingly expert "experts" evaded the Truth.

Or rather,

they were Truthful at some point in their lives,

but then played into the tricks of the Mind.

For there is no shortage of these second kind of experts...

who CLAIM to "teach" you their skills or abilities.

(You must note the emphasis on "their")

Which is where I will challenge them.

I will challenge them by asking...

Are they actually able to have

each and every one

of their clients ALSO become exemplary like them?

Not a chance.

Why is it so?

It is because these experts themselves

do not have ANY IDEA of how they do what they do.

And I must add the statement above is stated

without any negative connotation to it.


Are they lying when they say or demonstrate what they know?

No, they are not.

For if they can display or execute their abilities in a pristine manner,

then there is Truth to that.

And in fact,

if someone does not know how they do what they do,

then it IS a sign that they learnt it when they were young and innocent,

when their active thinking Mind,

which is always on the lookout for tricks and shortcuts,

was not around,

and the movement was absorbed naturally and fully.

The lying part comes when they CLAIM

that it is the how's or their reliance on the cues and techniques,

that got them where they are!

The cues and techniques that they relentlessly

use in their seminars, programs, and courses.

The how's, cue's, and techniques that they then put at the center

of their "secret sauce" that they entice the many minds with!


While a part of me respects these experts for their ability of what they do,

the greater part immediately forgets the momentary respect that arose

when I see their blatant lying.

Then again, this lie they give to others,

is nothing compared to the other lie.

The biggest lie is the one they give themselves.

One that they console themselves of their business "helping others".

For they have picked it up from society,

that "helping others" is also helping themselves.

They say this to rationalize the living they are making off of them.

To which, I will say...

Yes dear friend, deep down you have some natural, innate abilities.

But you already leveraged them to become who you became.

To mask those abilities with cues and technique,

and to continue to squeeze out chump change,

is tainting your true essence.

It is akin to openly insulting your true glory,

and then smiling outwardly pretending everything is peaceful inside.

For your "business" is not helping others.

Your "business" is allowing them to

STAY busy with who they are today,

and live the fake dream of "being an expert one day".

BUT by being lost in the dream,

they escape the ONLY thing

that will uncover the expert that already hides beneath them.

They escape the Truth.

And so do you.

Thank you.
