Denise,

Welcome! As Stephanie said, we are all learning together and growing together. Please participate in the discussions and share your wisdom and multisensory perceptions.

You wrote: “I find the teachings of Gary Zukav profound and attainable.” Amen!

You wrote: “It has transformed my perceptions of the soul.” In relation to this concept what I find to be a unique contribution by Gary (that has played a major role in my deciding to go deeper into his teachings) is the following. Before I was born, my soul decided to bring with me certain specific, carefully chosen loving parts (lp’s) and frightened parts (fp’s) after necessary consultations with other souls in my soul group as well as with guide souls and Teacher souls. What is then expected of me, as per the Design of the Divine Intelligence, is to identify, challenge and change the fp’s as well as to identify and cultivate the lp’s. This process simply constitutes spiritual growth.

I find the above idea to be extremely profound. It seems to explain everything regarding life and appears to provide a unique answer to the question: what is this life all about? I was born and brought up in a surrounding where the concept of soul is something that is familiar to almost everybody. One can hear references to it very commonly. However, the above fundamental idea in terms of that concept, to my knowledge, was completely lacking. I couldn’t figure the answers to various questions I had. But, the above idea seemed to clarify everything. Therefore, this turned out to be a major attraction to me toward Gary’s contributions. I am extremely happy about it because it has allowed me and continues to allow me to challenge my fp’s (which might be referred to by different terms in different religions) and cultivate my lp’s.

Eager to hear your thoughts and comments.

With love and trust,

Stephanie,

I assume you are referring to temptation from Gary’s perspective (and meant to respond in the other thread ‘Journey call Aug 30). After reading your detailed response, I will make a connection between this concept of Gary’s and the point in your brief response.

With love and trust,
Sundar

You are very welcome, Denise. All the best on your journey.

Hello everyone, I’m back and been missing the experience. I’m looking forward to the calls etc. Special hugs and kisses to my friends in the Master Class – Miss Yall!!

Hi Gladys. It’s good to see you again on the community board. I look forward to further sharing and growing with you as spiritual partners both here and also on the Life School calls. I’m sending Thanksgiving wishes your way as every day is a day for me to find something in my life to be thankful for!

With love,
Cindy

Jamie,

May I ask you a question? You say: “I decided to step back for personal healing. I feel like I’m being authentic because I stepped back to face my pain and heal.” What do you think the mechanism of this personal healing might be in the absence of that relationship triggering the pain?

I have not had any similar experience and I do not have a direct answer. In order to facilitate further discussion at least, I thought I would ask that question. Maybe it is not even a meaningful question.

With love and trust,
Sundar Naga

Hi Jamie,

First of all, welcome to the forum. Hope you find the support you need over here.

I am going to respond to your question based on general knowledge, not necessarily specific to what Gary teaches, because I am myself still in the initial learning stage as far as Gary’s teachings are concerned. I do not have the depth of knowledge of say Doug, or Sunday’s ability to recall almost verbatim what Gary teaches

I feel for you. I can only imagine how life threatening it must be to be abandoned as a child. After all, dogs are made such that they can be kicked out in 8 weeks or so, humans need a full 18 years to get that maturity, independence. To be abandoned must mean not only that you suddenly lose the softer things such as someone to comfort you when you scrape your knee or wipe your nose when you are sick. It must cause an existential crises as you don’t know whether you will have a roof over your head, or food to eat….it must have been such a blow to your ability to safely bond with another human, to trust, to remain open, communicate, love…it is hardly surprising you felt anxious when separated from your partner as an adult, because it brought back all the existential fears of abandonment.

Own your feeling. You are not crazy, weak, clingy… you have a legitimate need.

I do not think anyone can tell you whether you did the right thing or not. How can someone else know?

And I do not think you should stress yourself too much worrying about whether you did the right thing or not. At each moment, you (the inner you, not the personality) knows what it is able and ready to heal in that moment. And it will take the actions it needs to heal that aspect of your personality.

If it then decides it has bitten off too much, it will reconsider… but now you are on the path, you will begin to heal what you can in the moment.

You will find as you journey, that this dilemma is like an onion. So many different aspects to your personality, and so many different aspects to your healing. At each moment you will peal another layer and heal it.

I commend you for searching. I am envious that you found Gary so early in your search. Keep reading, keep seeking support. Keep learning, and healing your personality and getting to Authentic Power. One additional book I like for this type of situation is “in the Meantime.”

Hope this helps. With love and support,

Shelley
