Toward a World that Works for Everyone
I was talking to a young friend the other day who may be entering a new relationship. I imagined her asking me what she should look for in a relationship. I had no problem answering that question. From my personal perspective? Does he know how to listen? If he knows how to listen, and you […]
Growing up under a parent who served in the Second World War offered its challenges to me. Discipline was the back of the hand. I may as well have been in boot camp. I was a lazy no-good good-for-nothing because I liked to read rather than swim and golf and play tennis. At this very […]
I’ve felt for a very long time that it’s unfortunate that we don’t have more widely disseminated approaches to everyday relationship conflict. Of course I’m not in a relationship so I’m ignorant of current breakthroughs in that field. I’m offering the analyses that cluster around the notion of “cycle of conflict” as a door in […]
by Pamela Kribbe https://www.lightraisersworldwide.com/the-case-for-being-human-pamela-kribbe/ Steve: Everything I’ve ever said on the subjects Mary discusses – and much, much more – feels like it’s been said in this one article. This is the second time Pamela has hit the ball out of the park among the messages I’ve read; the first time was “Jeshua: The Third […]
by Pamela Kribbe https://www.lightraisersworldwide.com/the-case-for-being-human-pamela-kribbe/ (Concluded from Part 1, above.) Feel how you are powerful and autonomous. You are one and indivisible, and although you are inextricably bound to the Source of everything, you are also totally yourself, entirely unique. Allow this knowledge to sink in. You are you and no one else, and that is […]
As part of my desire to revive the growth movement, I’d like to look at an intercession point in the cycle of conflict. Before doing that, I have to reassure people that I believe almost everyone has this cycle going on with them, at some level, in some form or another, princes and paupers. […]
Steve: In this free, live event, Thomas and Gabor look at how to deal with individual trauma and, I hope, collective trauma as well. They say “trauma.” I say “vasana.” (Let’s call the whole thing off!) (1) I don’t usually advertise events, but this one, I believe, is one I don’t think anyone should miss. […]
Well, no, not this! This is the storm. My experience of dismay continues. (1) As I remained with it and interacted with other people, I noticed a companion feeling to dismay and that was one of dread. Boy, are deep-seated matters coming up now or what? I have a dentist appointment at 3:30 today and […]
When I look back on the differences between my father’s WWII generation and my own, their Depression and then their war experiences seem to have colored their demeanor. Disciplined, cooperative, focused on a goal that everyone could get behind, they loved nothing more than to get together after work and cajole and reminisce. They swaggered […]
As the love energies increase on the planet, my relationship to anger is changing. The background is that my Dad shouted at me from inches in front of my face at age 7. My personality shattered. That bent the twig and the tree inclined in the direction of dissociation – for another 50 years – […]
“Who knows what tomorrow brings In a world few hearts survive.” Thanks to Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. (1) I’d like to continue our conversation from two days ago. (2) Why do so few hearts survive? As we discussed yesterday, I think the problem is inherent in the structure of our communication in a Third-Dimensional […]
I just got, from completing a huge vasana that traces back to events with my Mother, that, in the last analysis, no one else is responsible for and able to clean up the emotional damage I feel but me. Yes, I can get apologies. Anything external could happen. But no matter what happens externally – […]
Having committed to the divine qualities, as a way of anchoring myself in them, what next confronts me are the reaction patterns that vasanas (core issues, early childhood trauma) give rise to. Up till now, I’ve been mainly concerned with my vasanas, and not with the automatic reaction patterns they give rise to. Commitment does […]
Gotcha! All our love goes out to the families of the murdered children in Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. I’m quite serious about needing to clean up as many of my vasanas as I can and the reaction patterns they give rise to, before the Reval. I watched a biography of Hitler the other […]
Sadhvi Bhagawatiji: How can we have spiritual relationships? Conscious relationships? Before we can have conscious relationships with others, we must have one with ourself, and the only way to have one with ourself is in truth, deep truth. And the deepest truth in our relationships with others is that WE, not the other, are the […]
