Hello Valerie, and welcome to this forum! I gather you are new here? This space may not be quite as scary as frightened parts of our personalities would want to believe. You obviously used your courage to post. Congratulations!
I hope to read you again, now that you’ve made the first step. Please let us know more about yourself. What would you like to share? I look forward to getting to know you!
With love,
Catherine

Hello Catherine
Thanks for responding to my post. Yes I am new to the Life School. I am still in the process of reading the Seat of the Soul. I have been interested in seeking a more aware and responsible life for a number of years. I have read numerous books with this intention.
but the Seat of the Soul is the first one I’ve taken action.

I live in Seattle Washington and have for many years It is so beautiful here it is easy to appreciate our Mother earth. I am retired and am enjoying finding things to explore.

I hope to getting to know you too

Hello Valerie,
Welcome to our community of Spiritual Partners! Do you have the 25th Anniversary Edition of the Seat of the Soul with the Study Guide in it? I invite you to share under the sections where we are discussing the Seat of the Soul chapter by chapter. I would love to hear how you are taking action in your life.
Love,
Kristen

Hello, Yes I have the 25th anniversary Edition. I am currently on the Psychology chapter. I like the idea of spiritual psychology. I think doctors have some inkling that there is more than the physical body involved in illness but they are unaware of the soul. It will be exciting to see spiritual psychology be developed and then practiced.
Right now I am practicing following my emotions down to the roots. I have found that I have a distrust of the Universe and thus struggle with wanting to control others. This also involves feeling like I know best. Boy do I have some work to do.

Hello

I have always been aware of the chatter in my head but now I’m actually listening to what comments I make without awareness. I guess I am a little shocked at how judgmental I am and how much anger I have. This teaching that I am about to follow is just what I need

Yes, I agree “this teaching I am about to follow is just what I need.” That is true for me. I also am surprised at the depth of my pain, my judgments and anger as well. It is surprising for me to feel the full magnitude and force of it. My intention is to do my absolute best to not indulge this pain any longer. I see the love and connection it keeps me from experiencing, and I am doing everything in my power to stay present with and express only the loving parts of my personality. I look forward to sharing this Journey with you Valerie!
Love,
Kristen

Hello Kristen

That’s a good question. I have had for years pain in my solar plexes. I have had an operation to fix it and it did not work. Now I’m beginning to think that it is something related to my negative feelings. Hmmmm. I guess I have some work to do.

How about yourself? I noticed you introduced yourself about 3 months ago in this forum. Where are you in your journey?

Valerie,
Yes, it will be interesting to explore the pain in your solar plexus.
To answer your question regarding where am I on my Journey? I first saw Gary on Oprah in 1998 when I was 23 years old and I do my absolute best to create authentic power in my life. I am continually humbled and surprised at how challenging that is. The gratitude I feel for Oprah and Gary comes from the depth of my Soul. I was born aware that I was a Soul having a human experience, that I choose to come, and that my intention for being here is to support. One of my first frightened parts of my personality that surfaced was the fear I wouldn’t know How to do that? That I wouldn’t find my way. Oprah appeared in my life when I was 10 or 11 as my first spiritual teacher and between her and Gary I have found my way. Doing my best to Create Authentic Power is the How for me.
Thank you for asking Valerie. Please share on the board what you learn about yourself as you explore the pain in your solar plexus.
Love,
Kristen

I have found myself procrastinating about starting work on creating Authentic Power. I tell myself I’ll do it when I have finished the book and start reading it “seriously”. Aren’t I silly? I can start by setting my intention everyday and choosing positive thoughts over the negative.

I too worry about being overwhelmed by the task in front of me. But I am willing to grow. In fact that is what I wanted for most of my adult life.

Thanks for caring and I look forward to hearing from you again.

Valerie, so good to read your sharing. You are on a journey, indeed! I am grateful to witness your intention to grow spiritually and to challenge frightened parts of your personality that want to procrastinate. I also have to challenge fps than want to procrastinate, especially at this time of year when my work is a little less intense and I have some leisure time to focus more on myself. Your decision to set your intention every day is supportive to me, as I often forget to set my intention first thing in the morning.
Will you be joining us for the retreat (Journey to the Soul) with Gary and Linda, at Mount Hood this July? I would love to meet you so we can support each other in our intention to grow spiritually.
With love,
Catherine

Hello,

I am now rereading the Seat of the Soul, I have the tendency to drift off into distractedness when I am trying to focus so I know there are parts of the book that I missed.
I found the drifting off was especially intense during the two chapters on Intentions. Any thoughts on this?

Unfortunately I will not be able to make the gathering in July.

Thanks for caring

Valerie,
Is it possible you have a frightened part of your personality triggered by those chapters? Do you notice feeling any uncomfortable physical sensations in your energy centers when you read this question; like in your throat, heart or stomach areas?
Love,
Kristen
