Hi Kathy, Welcome to this amazing journey! How did you hear about Gary & Linda? Have you read any of their books? Would love to hear how you came to be part of the Life School. Love, Pam

Hi Everyone, Yes it is indeed a joy to share with my spiritual partners. Sharing my journey and your journey with you, supports me in being courageous and loving on this journey. I recently took the opportunity presented to me to use my Courage as outlined in the Authentic Power Guidelines. I had a meeting with a gentleman who frequently triggers my fp’s of judgment and blame. Usually when I use my Courage it is in the context of saying something that I need to say, but from a lp, not from a fp as I have tended to do in the past. This time I used my Courage to not speak from a fp that wanted to engage his fp. Much more challenging to look at my intention and not put my verbal guard up. Verbally guarding my fp image of myself as needing protection from something or someone. Using my Courage in this way was more difficult. When I didn’t speak it left this void that my fp didn’t want to look at. Looking at myself and feeling this deep pain; I more deeply understand the pain of powerlessness. But thinking that my power was gained by controlling outside myself, is no longer what I believe. And when I am able to use my Courage to support my growth, it is an “aha” moment that shows me what true power, authentic power, is. This fp of feeling that I need to protect myself, is a very familiar one. I’ve spent much of my life honing my verbal skills and allowing my fp’s to use them. My intention is to use my talents from a loving part that not only benefits my life, but the lives of those with whom I have the blessing and opportunity to interact. With Love, Pam

Hello Everyone, The story continues…so many opportunities! What I have realized in a deeper way this week is, that were it not for my Commitment to my spiritual growth, I/fp would likely be sitting here this morning with my judgmental, superior, blaming thoughts about the occurrences this past week. I would have be on the fp roller coaster of ups and downs, contentment and disappointment, happiness and sadness. All of those feelings have been present, but instead of identifying with them, I have stepped back so that I can see more clearly what they are here to teach me. I’ve probably experienced more pain in my heart and solar plexus this week than I can recall. But each time it came up, I did my best to focus on my Commitment. Just doing that took me out of the fp story into my heart and soul’s desire to change my life from fear to love. It was still painful because at times I went into a fp of regret for my past actions. But feeling the pain is now much more likely to stimulate a response that wants to challenge it and grow. Thank you Dr. Maya for making me aware that when I know better, I do better. I know the triggers for these deep fp’s are still active. But staying Committed has taken me to a whole different view of my life. One that includes so much love and appreciation for everyone and every opportunity in it. My heart is full!!! With Love, Pam

Hi Everyone, Thanks so much for your sharings. Cindy when you talked about connecting with whom you were speaking, it supported me in staying conscious and really connecting soul to soul with whomever I am with. I had the opportunity to do just that this morning. I needed some clarification about a situation in which I’m a Court Advocate for a young man. I had to talk with someone in this case who has in the past triggered a lot of my fp’s. I set my intention before meeting with him to see him as a soul and connect in that way instead of getting caught up in my fp story. As he spoke I felt his sincerity and my own as we talked about what was soon going to happen for this child. I know that my fp’s have not allowed me to see him in this way before. Through my fp’s of judgment and superiority in the past, I have not seen his genuine smile and ever felt the connection to him as I did this morning. Our ideas about how to accomplish a goal may differ, but my intention is to do my best to maintain my awareness of our connection as souls.
Thanks Kristen for the reminder to trust, relax, do my best and enjoy myself. Love it!!!! Blessings, Pam

Hi Sundar, I would love to hear how creating authentic power has changed your life. Would you share some examples about how you’ve challenged frightened parts. I appreciate the reminder that the Universe creates opportunities all the time for me to grow spiritually. I am aware of this frequently, but know that I/fp also forget to live in the moment and don’t always see them. Think I’m going to put that on my bathroom mirror. Look forward to hearing from you. Love, Pam

Thanks Gladys and Cindy for your posts. Great topic – things I want to get done this year. I was with spiritual partners this weekend, and yesterday at the close of our time together I had this marvelous insight about just that thing. But it came a little more concisely than in the next year. I want to stay open and aware each second of my life, and use this time more wisely than I have in my life thus far. The precious gift that I’ve been given of being born and living at this time, in this body and accompanied by all those who support my life. My fp’s tell me that’s a pretty big undertaking, but from the most loving part of my personality, the part the Universe backs, I am setting my intention to stay as open and aware as I can, and use each moment as an opportunity to grow in love. I too am looking at how much my fp’s judge, especially myself, and who and what in my life am I/fp merely tolerating. Thanks so much for your sharing. It’s given me a lot to think about. Love, Pam

Hi Wveryone, Would love to hear what experience of illusion you had that you were able to see clearly and appreciate as an opportunity to grow. Love, Pam
