Hi Wei Ji,

Welcome. It’s always great to have a new ‘face’ in the forums. I don’t think there is any particular format. I mostly post what is going on with in my life and always great to get the spiritual support.

with love,

Eric

Thanks Eric. I have a “face” coming, but there seems to be a delay about its getting here. Probably needs some kind of approval period. –ed

Hi David,

Day two… Oh my. Thanks for welcoming me here to this community and Journey :/. I heard about the course, on YouTube. Still, getting a grip on the Spiritual Partnership Guidelines. So, will see… Creating Authentic Power gives me another way to go, thank goodness!

Really, I would love to learn how to move through life with dignity and grace. Who knows, maybe dance in and out of the light like a Wu Li Master (lol). Seriously, today I did have a few reverie-like moments but know this Journey’s going to be a climb. How did you hear about the course?

Good Night,

Margie

Hi Margie,

Several years ago I was attending a Unity Church and heard they were forming a study group on a book called the Heart of the Soul. Although I didn’t know anything about Gary and Linda or Authentic Power at the time, I was intrigued and started to browse a copy in the small church bookstore. As soon as I read the first sentence, “The need to feel safe, valuable, and loved is at the core of human experience….” I had a powerful experience. I think it was my intuition prompting me. I had been searching for all those things my entire life and I wanted to know more. As I continued to read, the realization that I had been searching in the wrong place (external power) for all those years started to take hold. Since then, I have learned so much about myself and have had many experiences of safety, value and love by choosing to create Authentic Power. I do my best to continue to pay attention to my internal experiences so that I can be the most loving person I can be.

I look forward to hearing more about what you’re learning about yourself as you begin this new journey. This is a good place to share.

Peace,

David

Welcome Margie and Wei Ji,
I am always excited to find new members on our board. Have you completed the course? I would love to hear your experience. Using the tools I learned from the course and the retreats helped me change my relationships with my family and especially my husband. Our conversations are much deeper and more loving than I ever thought possible. I look forward to hearing from you.
With love

Hi Lori,

Day Three… I just started this course and have not read The Seat Of The Soul or Spiritual Partnerships. Yet, I can feel my external powers shaking already on this journey to authentic power. In a good way, since my personality has been a HUGE pain in the seat.

At 9 yrs. old my father was killed in a car crash. From 10 to 17 yrs. old my step-father was sexually and physically abusive. I ran away at 17 and at 32 I found my husband. We have been married now for 23 yrs. in a safe non-sexual marriage. Although, I am still in pain.

Anyways, this won’t be easy. So, thank you for caring and your encouragement. I am looking forward to the more loving than ever thought possible part. Also, I would love to hear your experience.

Thanks again,

Margie

So Lori, did your husband also take the course, or was it your own Authentic Power that lured him into his deeper and more loving relationship with you? It seems that the presence or absence of his own Authentic Power would make the dynamic of your relationship differ based on that same presence or absence. Would you care to elaborate on this for us. I would appreciate anyone else who has experience with this to add their comments also. In particular, please don’t fail to address what seems to work the best, and are there ways to improve on what does not seem to be “working” so well as it should. Thank you for your thoughtfulness in answering these unpolished questions-in-the-raw . . . .

Margie, congratulations to you for being such a survivor, and for venturing in the direction of a more abundant life. My hope for you is that you will “lose your losses” and make room for the many gains that lie ahead. It seems that you have enough miles on you to know a lot about a lotta things that don’t work, and I hope we can all get to the bottom of “why” they don’t.

Pain gives the benefit of knowing that we are (still) alive and that something(s) is/are still wrong and need(s) to be gotten rid of.

You say this wont be easy. That’s a concern ofmine also, but I am also guarding against this becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy by not holding too fast to it.. Maybe we can compare notes on this as we go along.

Finally, I want to thank you for getting me to come back here after 73 days of being absent. You see, I made a false start after first joining and then I went idle for 70-some days until your first post came to my email. So if I disappear again, it would be a favor to me if some of you would wake me up and call me back.

Fading fast . . . .

Hi Wei Ji,

Day four… Words about pain and letting go of my personalities external powers seem hopeless but I have no other option. Already, I feel safe and trust in your support. Really, it gives to me hope for an abundant life. So, thank you for not disappearing from this course. I wonder, have you done all the on-line chapters?

So far, I have been paying attention to the Spiritual Partnership Guidelines. Although, the paying attention to my emotions by feeling the physical sensations, I’ve never done that before. Unless, I count Yoga but to recognize stuff happening in my chest or solar plexus,(where ever that is) never.

Anyways, it’s late. Now, I’m fading fast but tomorrow’s another day…

Good night,

Margie

Hi Wei Ji,
My partner & I took the course together. We are together practicing creating Authentic Power and being spiritual partners with each other. I know our relationship has deepened since we both have committed to our spiritual growth. I know the guidelines have been very supportive for me I have a copy on my fridge, at work, in the car. How are you enjoying the course?
Blessings, Joanne

Hi all,
Wei Ji asked me about my relationship with my husband. In 2000 I found myself very depressed. I had accomplished all my goals. I had children, great friends, my business was successful and my husband was responsible and caring and we had just purchased a wonderful home the year before. Having accomplished all my goals that I thought would make me happy only showed me how empty I felt. I looked at what I had done and started looking around for something that would make me happy because nothing I had accomplished had filled the void in my soul. I decided the best thing would be to leave my husband because that would be the best thing that I could change to feel better. However, instead of leaving my husband, the Universe introduced me to Seat of the Soul and Authentic Power. It started me looking deeper at what I was creating in my life and the difference between love and fear and what that feels like in my body. As I started looking deeper at my experiences, my husband started looking deeper at his experiences. I began to realize that my unhappiness had nothing to do with my husband but everything to do with me. I took a course with Gary and Linda and began to work on myself instead of looking outside and trying to change everything around me. After some time working on my own emotional awareness and responsible choice, we took a Spiritual Partnership retreat with Gary and Linda. We began practicing using the Spiritual Partnership guidelines together. We are evolving together because we are both committed to our own personal spiritual growth. The tools we learned at the retreat helped us begin to create a Spiritual Partnership.

I go to the Journey to the Soul retreat every summer to deepen my Spiritual growth and he chooses his own Spiritual path. The cool thing is that what I am learning about Authentic Power works with any spiritual path as long I am committed to my own growth. I hope that answered your questions. Last August we had our 24th anniversary and I have a deeper love with him now than I ever thought possible.

Are any of you going to be on Gary’s free call on Thursday evening through the shift network? I will be on it and recommend you join the call if you can.

Sending you love,
Lori
