I had a heart to heart with Source… and let’s play a game

deafI had a heart to heart today with Source.

The conversation started with me asking how many itch mites I have on me. The numbers just didn’t add up… so I asked: “You don’t know, do you?” And Source admitted that it didn’t know.

The conversation continued about what Source knows and how.

Source does not have eyes to see. Source does not feel. Source only senses. And that is why itch mites can elude its observation: itch mites look and feel dead, inert, not alive, when you observe them. They have legs, they must have legs, because they move when you don’t watch them. So, unless an itch mite moves, Source doesn’t know it’s there. And obviously all I can do is guess… A conversation with Source plays out almost completely inside what I can think of… i.e. in the 2-3-4-5% of what is knowable.

A reader asks: Isn’t inventing a being pretending?

pretending-to-be-happy-2Hi Sophie – I need some clarifications ..

Isn’t inventing a being the same as pretending?

Is the goal to have the being be the ‘inventing being’? ..someone who can be any being? i.e caring, happy, courageous etc.

What kind of being do I invent when 99% of the population is there to make me feel bad?

Thanks! Continue reading “A reader asks: Isn’t inventing a being pretending?”

Express Yourself: Am I a self-promoting marketer pretending to be superior to all?

A reader from California writes:

The way you shamelessly steal from Landmark Education (Education) on one day and than use Landmark Education as a platform to show how superior you are to Landmark Education another day is just amazing.

You are nothing but a desperate telemarketer trying to grab the market any way she can.

With your approach you will never be trusted by anyone and only a few lonely similar disenchanted and isolated persons will give you their $ and the time of day. Anyone else can see the approach you are using is dangerous, self serving and dishonest and wisely will keep you at the greatest possible distance.

OK, this person, so far, has written this kind of email to me about 20 times… most worse than this.

Question: do you agree with his evaluation of me and my work?

Am I a desperate telemarketer trying to climb up on the dead bodies of people, companies, or methods I write about?

Can you help me pick the best label?

brilliance-at-will-2

Hi! The contest hasn’t ended, but I have created a product based on the feedback so far… with two different labels. Here they are, #1 and #2. The only difference is in the little pictures: version 1 has the Bach Flowers, version 2 has ADD children… before and after the remedy.

Which one do you think is better? Please comment to vote.

I need your help to name the remedy… Please

wake-up-ready-2I need your help

It has become clear to me that calling the energy remedy Effortless Abundance Activator wasn’t as good an idea as I hoped it was going to be: only few people resonate with that, and no one seems to search for Effortless Abundance… literally.

So what does the remedy do, that would be a better clue to people that it’s a perfect match to what they desire?

Here are my own observations:

  1. wake up productiveIt somehow causes me to wake up ready… this used to be a dream of mine, to not waste the first few hours of every day trying to get ready… tea, more tea, moping around, reading my emails…. and maybe, if I was lucky, by noon I would start doing something useful.

What is the purpose of education? to remember the content? knowing when the 30-year war began? Or something else?

What is the purpose of education? to remember the content? knowing when the 30-year war began? Or something else?

Hello Sophie,

It might have also been the UNClove taking its effect, but after the Path coaching session two weeks ago I thought to myself: ‘okay – you can’t run from work forever; just do it, don’t make a big deal about it, it’s a natural part of life, and it’s ugly to talk yourself out of it’.

And it felt good, solid.

I figured that while I’m already at the university it would be a good thing to commit to being good at it, which means doing the homework, learning for the exam sessions… and I started to be more diligent about it. I spent most of my time (and a whole weekend) doing exactly that and for the first time (maybe in my whole life) I managed to more or less stick to the learning schedules I made for myself, and started to actually have fun doing it, some of the time.

I also found myself enjoying the classes more, being more into them and overall okay for more then a week.

Talk Back To Me: How shall I take sarcasm directed at me?

Talk Back To Me: How shall I take sarcasm directed at me?

The holidays quickly approaching, this is a very timely topic to deal with: the sarcasm, or sarcastic remarks of the people you meet: instead of holiday cheer, love etc. you need to deal with poison coming through sarcasm. How do you do it? This article will help to look at it differently and save yourself from grief.

Hey Sophie,

I hope you are well.

I’m wondering if you could help me to clarify something?

I’m trying to understand sarcasm.

The Irish people are generally quite sarcastic, it’s called ‘slagging’ here. I think, in general, one is supposed to be able to laugh at himself or answer back in similar manner.

But most of times I don’t really know how to react to it, it’s hurtful sometimes.. and I guess I don’t really know if I’m overreacting? Should I just observe the origin of MY hurt or try to see why perhaps the other person is veiling mockery, i.e. observe THEIR hurt?

It seems to me that there are different kinds of sarcasm, or I just don’t understand the definition of it.

I can give you the examples that got me wondering about this.

The other day I felt I was sort of ‘attacked’ 3 times within about 10 minutes. All those situations were concealed to be funny but I only either felt confused or hurt.

(to make sense you have to hear the things said in sarcastic tone)

    1. I called into see my in-laws to ask if they could mind my son for about an hour. My father-in-law was there and as we walked in he remarked ‘this is becoming your second home, is it?’. (In the last three weeks or so we’ve had 1-2 dinners a week there, every time invited.) I felt confused.
    2. I bumped into my brother-in-law and he went on a laughing rant about me being the scrooge, cheapskate, anti-spirit of christmas and so on, because for the second year in a row now I don’t want to take part in buying/receiving christmas presents between the adults. I think it’s for the kids. I guess I felt sort of embarrassed and hurt.
    3. I was talking to my hubby, saying I couldn’t find any hoover bags in the shop and an old acquaintance overheard me and commented ‘I didn’t know you hoovered’. I guess my house is dirty 😀 I felt a little annoyed.

sarcasmI was sort of left speechless in all of these situations and it left me feeling uneasy and wondering. I could, too, be easily sarcastic back but I don’t really want to because it feels like that I’m just being mean then. And if I don’t feel like laughing about it, should I just be quiet or straight confront them?

And I suppose this all comes to the fact that I’m really quite clueless how to interact with people. Where should I put my attention to? Observe my emotions, or theirs, or both?

I’m sorry for the long email. It’s just really boggling my mind today. It feels like the answer is right there but I don’t see it.

Thank you for taking your time to read this.

All the best,
name withheld for privacy (client from Ireland)

Wonderful question, thank you.

Let’s look at sarcasm first, and then we’ll look at how to take it, so it is useful, instead of hurtful… ok?

In my view, sarcasm is a sign that straight communication is not happening. Sometimes it is cultural: some cultures don’t do straight talk, and it seems Irish is like that. And other times it is a personal cowardice, the hallmark of Soul Correction 25… interestingly.

25 (Speak your mind) is a coward, and behaves cowardly. Straight talk requires courage, and straight talk requires a capacity that is one of the 13 capacities included in the DNA upgrade: responsibility.

When you do straight talk, you communicate your opinion to another person as your opinion, and you are willing to take the response, the wrath, or the grief… whatever is coming. So people who don’t have the capacity of responsibility resort to sarcasm: they can always say they were joking.

lazinessIt is always a lie: they NEVER joke, they mean it, and it is a communication. It is not straight, it is not constructive, it is not helpful, it is like a poisonous arrow “accidentally” sent your way to hurt.

So we can say: being sarcastic is being cowardly, unwilling to be responsible, unwilling to be helpful, unwilling to be constructive, and hurtful.

It is the sign of a cowardly, powerless, weak individual.

Now, let us look how someone who isn’t living on the pedestrian level takes a sarcastic remark:

  1. They accept it as a feedback. Which means they are willing to get the gist of the communication, and not the poison of it.
  2. They look at the communication as the point of view of the speaker or someone close to them.
  3. sarcasm and feedbackThey look at what is true about the communication and take responsibility for that.Ultimately, for a person living above the pedestrian level sarcastic remarks are a valuable feedback to navigate in the world of people.

I know it is hard to be with not being welcome, and not being well thought of in your community, but it seems that is your reality right now. You have earned barely passing grades socially.

So what?

If you want to be widely loved and appreciated (a waste of time in my view) then start working on that.

If you just want to be happy and fulfilled, decide that other people’s opinion about you is their business…

What does a vibration of 200 feel like?

feedback from a musicianI love feedback, and I love the feedback of this person. I muscletested his vibration, and it’s 200… so it is not especially high, and yet…

With the tools I offer in the foundational program, this is the kinds of results that are typical:

Hi Sophie,

I miss hearing your voice and laugh on the calls…I hope that you are feeling well and that the attacks have stopped.

I wanted to tell you about a very interesting experiment that I conducted with the activator/HOE audio and the results. About a month ago, things were going very well. I was extremely busy work-wise which is great because it means I could support myself financially. I was performing a lot with several different groups – in addition to my teaching – and was receiving very positive comments from my fellow musicians. I met a remarkable woman and we have been seeing each other in a very open, loving and supportive relationship. All good, even things with my ex were smooth and easy.

I decided to stop playing the audio and drinking the water to see what would happen.

Thank you Sophie
my usage after hearing the first 40 mins of the sleepy time audio yesterday night and today on the train: I felt very energized and also, my “need” and “desperation” of seeking validation or that clingy-ness to be liked is drastically reduced, it’s still there the approval syndrome, but i feel better about myself.
Best Regards

Hi Kate. your email teaches me that you don’t understand how activators work, so here is a little refresher:

There are five generations of activators. Out of those we still use three.
