Or:
How to make the best of the Activation Of The Original Design
From My Correspondence:
Question:
I have been looking at your site. I am not to sure how it works. Do you help people to lift their vibrations, or have you done it already when you activated the countries and it is now up to each individual to take it further?

From my correspondence: Gratitude vs Appreciation

From my correspondence:
[7:55:31 PM] Alex Makarski: read your recent articles
i’m afraid to sound condescending
even though i know you won’t take it that way
your writing keep getting better
simpler, stronger
vibrant
some time, could you explain the difference between gratitude and appreciation?
people always pile them up into the same thing and use in the same sentence
i don’t know the answer but i feel you do
[8:13:30 PM] Sophie Maven: appreciation has no direction, gratitude does.
you just appreciate something, but you are grateful to someone, for something
in appreciation you don’t have to acknowledge source, but you have to risk that appreciating what is will keep you stuck with it
in gratitude you need to be vulnerable to someone and take the risk of having to reciprocate, having to have earned what you got, or some other really horrible and nasty things that ego is mortally afraid of
that means, gratitude is a bigger existential risk, and therefore a higher vibration
The feedback that made me look again at myself

Hi Sophie,
Thank you for writing this (yesterday’s) article. I too have wanted a magic and quick way to get to the conclusion or result of something. But with using the sight capacity and also looking at my past projects or successes, the quick “shortcut” way almost never works, or doesn’t lead to a sustained result.
Lately I also had a bit of time to reflect when I wasn’t feeling well on a couple of days. I had been reviewing some of the past communications that we had before, such as the guidance that you provided in the food lists, since 2017. I realized that several times where I did not follow the guidance, I thought I knew better or took what you said personally, or thought it meant I was “wrong” (though I can tell now that you were just saying ‘A is A’). For example, when you said I had inflammation, I automatically went to “inflammation is bad” and “it is wrong for me to have inflammation”. While I didn’t doubt that what you said was correct, I struggled to accept it, as it didn’t match what I wanted to believe, or my view of reality.
Anyway this ties into your latest article where you talked about people doing what they say they will do, and quickly. Getting well for me has been a process too. It’s the small actions that I take every day that over time lead to progress. This includes eating only foods on my food list, noticing my attitudes, slowing down instead of rushing, listening to the big bundle during the night, and using the energy healing audio. There have been some periods recently where I made a kind of experiment to (temporarily) do the opposite of what would improve my health, and not surprisingly, I did not feel happy and energetic. I felt worse and I couldn’t maintain focus and be productive. So I have made a commitment to myself to go back to the strait and narrow, to go back to what was working, as my purpose is to achieve and sustain health, even if there are parts to it that I don’t understand. I get reminders of the debilitating back pain and stiffness if I accidentally eat something with leaves, and from that I get sufficient motivation to stay on track. I definitely don’t want to live a life where I feel that pain nearly every day as I did in early 2022. The vast majority (if not all!) of the actions that I can take to move me in the right direction with regards to my health are within my control, and I am very grateful for that.
I hope that you can make it through this difficult time Sophie. I get that every day is a challenge for you, and it’s very difficult and painful and there is a lot of uncertainty. Thank you for continuing to look for the pieces of the invisible through all of this and I wish the very best for you.

Today is December 18, 2016…
I went to my chiropractor today: my neck was stuck.
I took a ride with the community center van. On the way back the driver of the van gave me feedback on myself: eager. As in eager beaver… busybody, annoying, rushing people.
I was already waiting outside when he came to pick me up, and I was waiting for him outside the chiropractor’s off ice when he came to pick me up. I meant to make it easier and faster for him, but that is not how it landed… obviously.
Ugh. That hurts…

Why are no thinkers among the 8 billion, Warren Buffet too

I am reading a thought provoking book… There it is again, the language distortion.
No, the book is triggering thinking about it, it triggered for me real thinking… not thoughts.
I stayed up three hours later than usual to have the time to think. Continue reading “Why are no thinkers among the 8 billion, Warren Buffet too”
Without a vision you are driftwood
As I promised, I am going to start, probably will be a series, on the role or ‘future’ on your behavior.
I’ll start with a personal example.
As you may know, I am old, fragile, living on borrowed time.
Back in November, meaning six months ago, my main computer was giving me grief, so I bought another one, but my main computer recovered, and I never installed the new computer. Yeah, I know, but I didn’t have the physical strength… or a good enough reason.
I have a vision for my work, but had no vision for the ‘company’… but that changed about a month ago.
Three things contributed to that:
1. I found a teacher who is a solo entrepreneur like me, off-kilter, like me, and curses like me… lol. I got revitalized. I started to see that I am not alone, even though I have never spoken to him, and he has no knowledge of me. Continue reading “Without a vision you are driftwood”
Are you attracting or are you repelling? That is the question…
Why is it that most people, you, who believe in the Law of Attraction actually practice how to repel people and repel what you want?
99% of all people believe in the law of attraction… or some version of it…
People write to me all the time, asking me for something. They want something for nothing. Obviously they are adherents of the Law of Attraction: the law seems to be saying to the: you can attract to yourself things you want by just wanting them. Ask and it is given… or something of that sort. Or if you really desire it… blah blah blah.
I have a few secrets for you: the world doesn’t operate that way. In fact, the world operates closer to what Charlie Munger says: If you want to get what you want, you need to deserve what you want. Continue reading “Are you attracting or are you repelling? That is the question…”
From my correspondence: I have noticed a change in your tone: what’s happening?
Dear Sophie: your tone is changing. It is more demanding, and I wonder what’s going on… you are wielding a stronger demand on the students… did something change?
Answer: Let me answer with a story:
A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road. The Chicken says, “Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!” The Pig replies, “Hm, maybe, what would we call it?” The Chicken responds, “How about ‘ham-n-eggs’?”
The Pig thinks for a moment and says, “No thanks. I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved!”
Sometimes, the story is presented as a riddle:
Question: In a bacon-and-egg breakfast, what’s the difference between the Chicken and the Pig?
Answer: The Chicken is involved, but the Pig is committed!

From My Correspondence: I can’t feel anything, can you help?
Dear Sophie,
Please help me if at all possible.
I know I have some emotional blocks somewhere that I can’t clear up on my own. I have tried and for some reason I just can’t do it.
Another empath has helped open up whatever gates that are closed and I could FEEL some things again. I don’t know exactly what is going on, but I know on a certain level that an empath is what I need to be able to feel alive again.
I’m tired of my emotions and actions being on autopilot and just feeling nothing all of the time.
The only real feelings I can feel at times is being neutral (to an extent), some anger, and a kind of sadness.
Where is that feeling of love, of pure selflessness, understanding and devotion that I want to feel again? For some reason, I can only feel those things while I am connected to an empath.
Please, if you can, teach me how to feel again. 🙁
Can’t feel…
