I want to share my gratitude for this morning’s call, for the teaching and the openness with which all of it was shared by Gary and Linda, and also to my spiritual partners who were in “group” together with me. I kept setting the intention to be truly open and kept searching for my loving parts within myself when any pain or thoughts which I recognized as coming from fear, showed themselves.

I also want to share an experience that I had while experimenting in my life in response to the homework on Reverence which was offered after the last Life School call that we had.

I was out with several former coworkers and we were enjoying lunch together in honor of one who was to retire soon. I noticed that I felt that one of them was responding to me with distance and I had never before experienced that from him in our work setting. I am unable to tell you what feelings I had in my body from that as I do not remember having been aware of them at the time. What I noticed in myself however, was that I was uncomfortable with this distance that I felt he was creating and I noticed in my response to him that I was shutting him out visually. In other words, I became aware that as I spoke with the others, I was not looking at this young man and so I was not being inclusive of him when I spoke. I made a conscious effort to change my response and to be inclusive of him with my eyes as I spoke from then on and I also made a conscious effort to ask him about his family.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity from my awareness to reach out to another even as FPs were not going to do this, had they been allowed to come forward, by my being in a more unconscious state!

Lovingly, Cindy
