Hi Sundar,

I don’t know for sure, but I feel that you may have a frightened part of your personality that needs to intellectualize to avoid feeling, especially if it feels misunderstood by others.

Does that resonate with you?

Sundar, for me knowing when I am acting and thinking from a frightened part versus a loving part of my personality is not as obvious as I thought it would be. I personally need tools to help me know the difference. So I scan my body’s energy centers (throat, chest, solar plexus for example) noticing if I am feeling an uncomfortable sensation or a pleasing sensation. For me learning to feel has taken great focus and effort because I wanted to dismiss what I felt as not important. Once I have a better sense of whether a FP or LP of me is active I then pay attention to my thoughts. When I feel painful sensations that indicate a FP is active in me I know that my thoughts at that moment are suspect. My FP thinking is misguided and I work to not act or speak out of a FP. This is new to me and I work at getting better at doing this by constantly referencing and rereading the Guidelines to Creating Authentic Power. I try in every circumstance and in every interaction to remind myself of the first Authentic Power Guideline – Focus on What I can learn about myself.
