Peppa Pig Can't Whistle - A Shift IN Perspective
We can learn a lot from a pig and a sheep.
1. I can't whistle but everybody else can.
0
Peppa is making a statement that is not true. She's projecting - she believes that nobody else can whistle because she can't.
If Peppa's mom were present and actually listening to Peppa she could point her towards the Truth but what does she say instead, "Never mind, I'm making cookies, would you like to lick the spoon?"
2. Two agendas: Peppa's mom wants to bake cookies. Peppa wants to learn how to whistle.
0
Rarely are we present. We're not only present for ourselves we certainly aren't present for our children, especially if we feel that our agenda is superior to that of our child. (most parents do)
We seem hell bent on trying to give some body something that we want, not what they want. Everybody's talking but who's really listening. Everybody is so busy running around like a headless chicken and we don't take time for the important things.

3. Peppa doesn't give up. She asks her mother to phone Susie Sheep.

Peppa "I'm trying to whistle but I can't do it" "It's hard" "Impossible"
Why is Peppa even attempting to whistle when she believes that it's impossible?
4. Peppa: Can you whistle Susie?
0
At this point during the phone conversation, Susie still doesn't know what whistling is.
If I'm broke, lonely, and disgusted, I'm delighted to hear that you are broke, lonely, and disgusted too.
If I judge, belittle, and lack compassion for others. I'm overjoyed if you display the same sentiments towards other people.
When Peppa catches herself she says, "I mean that's sad if you can't whistle" but she really doesn't mean it. It's only good to Peppa because she can't whistle.
We suffer from tribal consciousness and we become afraid when we feel that others are leaving us behind. We don't like being left behind even if it's only in our mind. We do not like it when someone can do something that we want to do but cannot do.
5. Susie: What's whistling anyway?
0
We finally hit pay dirt.
What a great question.
Peppa's answer to Susie's question: "You put your lips together and blow"
Susie: "Like This" Susie whistles like a locomotive train.
What happens to Peppa's story about whistling being impossible after Susie whistles?
It dies. It's no longer valid. Her story no longer holds up.
Susie didn't try to whistle - she whistled. she put her lips together and she blew. No thinking necessary. No story. Just doing. Just being a whistler.
Peppa didn't whistle because instead of whistling she was thinking about whistling not actually doing it. She made up an entire narrative around whistling. She adopted a defeatist attitude towards whistling.
This is early programming at work.
6. Peppa hangs up the phone.
0
She projected not being able to whistle onto Susie and when Susie whistled Peppa now assumes that there has to be something wrong with her because Susie just did something that she said was impossible.
Although Peppa intentionally hung up the telephone she cannot get rid of the thoughts lurking in her mind about what just happened. The thoughts of her not being able to whistle are anchored in her mind - perhaps more.
We let ideas about people take residence in our mind all the time rent free. It doesn't matter how painful these thoughts are either....the funny thing is the other person/people have no idea that we are thinking this thoughts.
Susie Sheep is just wondering...what happened to Peppa??
