Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
I wrote in the last article that guiding anyone, including yourself with a positive statement is the fastest way to misery… Positive statements, including affirmations, don’t define anything.
The expression ‘strait and narrow’ is brilliant, because it tells it how it is: the strait, as in the Bering Strait… is the key: everything that is NOT land is the strait… the land defines the strait, nothing inside the strait defines it… only its boundary. Same with a river. And same with generosity.
The hardest thing to navigate, at least for me, is to take myself out of the center… Maybe because of my soul correction “Forget Thyself” but it comes back to make me miserable periodically.
I have been testy lately.
I have always wanted to be significant. Do significant things. Be admired… blah blah blah.
What I didn’t realize that like everything ego desire based, desire to receive for the self alone, it has a shadow side.
When you are significant, and someone doesn’t give you what you think they are supposed to… you are angry and miserable.
So this is what has been going on…
Please listen with compassion… or not… it’s really up to you. But if you can listen with compassion, you may learn something that can make a difference for you… If you listen with judgment, your misery will deepen… I will be fine either way.

I do a lot of “work” that doesn’t look like work.
For example, asking the question: Is being perceptive a capacity?
It turns out that it is. It is on a scale of one to 100… very perceptive, somewhat perceptive, not perceptive.
Cats are not perceptive. Partially because their eyes are calibrated to only notice movement. A non-moving tasty bit of food, mouse, bug is if it didn’t exist for a cat. That is probably why they only eat food that stinks to my human nose… ugh. They can’t see it, can’t judge it from its look, color, etc.
Not perceptive.
So, in effect, perceptive is a capacity to see details, see much.

There are many approaches to fix a problem, but all fixes are more harmful than the original problem.
Why?
and ultimately that kind of solution: a fix, is the root of the next problem. Like marriage: a fix for loneliness, and the start of more and bigger problems… yet it doesn’t stop loneliness… (Marriage is two people combining efforts to solve problems that would not exist without the marriage…) Continue reading “The Dark Side suggestion that love heals the world”
It is human nature to want to be smart. The feeling is: the smarter you are the better life will be.
But being smart from the mind isn’t very smart, except to the people who put the stuff in your mind.
In my readings about different cultures, the Chinese culture is a good example of that kind of smart. For hundreds and hundreds of years, the Chinese has been encouraged to repeat, not think.
For two years I had three Chinese students live next door: no thinking, no emotions, was my experience. If any emotions were felt by me, it was the emotions of visitors and guests… never the occupants.
The evolution of the species requires people to be problem solvers.
There are two kinds of problem-solvers

…or behaviors that ignore capacities, or both.
My soul correction is Forget Thyself… arrogance, and already knowing it all… so the biggest missing capacities for this soul correction are the sight, seeing the consequences of your actions.
The second ability is consistency: actually remembering that there is a sight, and one must look before one can see… very hard for me to learn and be consistent.
Now, what is the usefulness of a “diagnosis” like that?
Unless it’s your job to give advice, don’t.Why? Because giving advice comes from your shadow side, from your dark side.
How? When you give advice, you place yourself above the other person. Giving advice is asserting your superiority.
Have you noticed that you can get fired for that? Even if your advice is right on the spot…
By the way: this is true for healers, coaches, salespeople, helpers, charity volunteers, parents, relatives, everyone.

What is your relationship to money?
For the most part, your relationship to money, your attitude about money, is the same or similar, as your attitude about life. It is either powerful or it isn’t… and of course everything in between.
Raising the quality of your relationship to money is the exact same thing as raising your vibration. The moves are exactly the same. The higher vibration relationship will effect your money, your personal relationships, your success in any area of life, your health, and your experience of life: your level of fulfillment, purpose, joy, and happiness.
Of course, your understanding of what I just said is on the level of your current vibration… you want more stuff… right? You’ll see what it really means as you raise (increase) your vibration by climbing the Tree of Life, from branch to branch to branch, to as high as you can manage in this lifetime.

Fear is natural. And we “respond” to fear according to our habitual ways, which is largely imprinted in our soul correction.
Just like there is procrastination and there is precrastination, both are fear based, there is also the phenomenon of brash, impulsive bravado…
Neither “responses” to fear are intelligent.
So, what is an intelligent response to fear?
Fear is normal, fear is natural, fear is a life saver.

My soul correction is “Forget Thyself“.
One aspect of this soul correction is overconfidence. I have to invent tricks to counter it, but, from time to time, it creates hell in my life… like right now.
You know I have been working on this human biting mites, or said in another way: microscopic mites that bite humans, live on and in humans, torture humans; avoid detection, so doctors don’t know about them, blame chemicals, viruses, allergies, infections, etc. to cover up that they have no idea.
