Hi Lori,

Welcome Lori – as a newcomer myself, I’m looking forward to making new friends and certainly open to whatever new opportunities present themselves to me.

I picked up my book “Seat of the Soul” book yesterday and I’m finding it hard to put down. After listening to some of Gary’s and Linda’s recordings I now have some much wanted answers to questions in my mind that have puzzled me for years.

I was starting to think of myself as an alien on this planet called Earth. One of my biggest questions to myself was why don’t I feel I fit in with others. I have the ability to communicate with other people well and because I genuinely have a love for people, people (new acquaintances and old friends/family) will often say I am “ different” from other people they know.

Most of my friends and family like to watch (what I think are mundane tv shows), they are passionate about the daily news of this world; about politics and sport and going on endless shopping sprees and holidays. Don’t get me wrong, I used to do all those things once too, however personally now and for the past 30 years they give me very little long lasting satisfaction – although I have to say I do love traveling (solo) to other parts of the world when I get the opportunity to do so.

In closing, since 1988, predominantly my focus in life has been to gather information with my intention being to improve myself; to understand my feelings and how I respond to others and my surroundings.

It’s been an interesting time for me over the past 30 years. I’ve cried a lot; I’ve laughed at myself a lot and I have to say I’ve enjoyed becoming my own very best friend. I’m looking forward to how other people have personally evolved and what their experiences have been. I feel like I’ve felt like “an alien” on this earth long enough. Time for connection for me, to be part of a group that can support one another in our individual and group journeys. Oh boy I feel I’m getting a “bit deep” here.

Back to reading my book with the hope of reading and taking in knowledge and understanding of all the books Gary and Linda have thus far written. Exciting times for me at the moment.

With love

Roslyn

Dear Lori, so lovely to hear back from you. It makes me feel so much better that you feel the same as I do on many levels. I haven’t shared in so much detail what I wrote to you with any one else. It has shown me, by allowing myself to be vulnerable that I am not alone in my thinking. So I really appreciate you sharing with me too and your message made sense to me. I find it’s a bit hard typing and then I too wonder if what I’ve written makes sense also.

I haven’t read yet where Gary says we can only do so much reading; thinking; meditating and praying – tis interesting that you mention this, as I have often thought the same thing. Are his comments from the Spiritual Partnership Book? I am thinking of buying that book and also of joining the e-course Authentic Power and Spiritual Partnerships which I’m pretty sure uses that book. I looked at a preview of the workshop last night – it looks good.

Thanks also for sharing the fact that you learned from reading the Spiritual Partnership book that it is about a Spiritual relationship with ourselves. That interests me very much……I was thinking of it as being in a Spiritual Partnership with someone else. Definitely will be ordering the book now that I know what you’ve told me.

I’m halfway through reading Seat of the Soul and finding it very deep in places. I’m finding I need to re read some bits and read some sentences out loud. I need to break the information down so I can fully understand what Gary has written. Also if I still need clarification I look under the heading on the life school home page “All Teachings” and find the subject I need further help on. I haven’t got into answering the study guide at the back of the book as yet. Tried answering some questions, but put the questions in the too hard basket for now. I will get more serious about answering the questions when I re read the book.

Well it’s been lovely chatting with you Lori and I very much look forward to us connecting some more and learning more about each other too. Did you read my introduction? That I am from Western Australia. Where do you live? Time here is 30mins after midnight. I am a night owl, however that’s ok as I am retired so no need for me to get up super early these days. I often wish I was an early riser, however I’m not! My grandmother lived until she was 105. I was very close to her and I know for a fact that after she retired she very rarely went to bed before midnight. So I figure going to bed late sure didn’t shorten her life. She was born in 1898 and passed away in 2003. Lived through the whole of the 20th century and had her wits about her pretty much until the end of her life.

Well will end off now..

Until we chat again – take care, would love to know a bit more about you Lori and feel free to ask me any questions about myself.

Bye for now

Love Ros
