"Factor-x" represents us - that is, each one who acknowledges that from a point in time when we were very young, possibly an age not older than around three to five years old, we got stuck in time as a survival mechanism against our environment. Our Factor-x was created from a belief that we are inferior, a belief we derived from the treatment we likely got from our supposed caregivers. See or imagine Factor-x as a child, a young version of yourself that is holding your hand. That child wants to protect. That child has in its mind that it and you are in some danger, and wants to protect itself and you. Factor-x is not the enemy.
However, Factor-x is not at all useful or helpful. It is likely sending us down paths in life that we do not want to go down and that we do not like. The mentality of this child is maybe that of a three year old. And this child wants to protect each one of us. You may be middle-aged or older at the time of reading this. So, obviously, this child does not have the ability to protect you and only exists in the mind.
It is best that we do not fight with that part of ourselves, but take it along with us on our journey, gently guiding it and ourselves along the way. It does not know any better at the moment.
Once we see our Factor-x in this light, it might be easier to navigate our life without letting it get in our way. By accompanying that part of ourselves with care and attention, we are in a position to heal that child: to heal our Factor-x. As we heal it, it will likely grow up and accompany us with less and less interference in the sense of wanting to protect us. But keep in mind it is an immature child wanting to protect us, and that we created it at the time from a figment of our imagination.
It wants to be helpful. It wants to serve us. But it doesn't have the tools and therefore it is ineffective. It refuses to allow us to be ourselves and is counterproductive in its efforts. For humankind, our collective Factor-x is basically the creator of the destructive behavior we see and feel in the world. Factor-x wreaks havoc as if it were indeed the enemy.
