So appreciative of the extra time in the breakout sessions. Today’s call was the most beneficial for me so far. I had one person stay on the line for about 20 minutes; I felt like I connected with someone for the first time since the calls started. Timing was perfect for all three sections. I love it this way.

Nearly every time I’ve had a spiritual growth spurt, it came as a result of much pain. At some point, to survive, I’ve had to put my faith in something Higher, and there were times when my knees were shaking, and it was a matter of putting one foot in front of the other and refusing to give into fear, and the night passed, the sun rose, and I was safe. This has been my road to Spiritual awareness and growth. Because of the pain of continuing as I had been, I had to be open to change. It did not come easy. A friend of mine use to say, “When it hurts bad enough, then we will do something about it”. Twenty-five years in a fundamentalist church, that nearly destroyed my family. Staying in a marriage that was not loving or healthy. And then suddenly the change started, and is still continuing. I believe the “magic” in the world comes through us, and is really Love meeting our needs. Garry’s explanation that authentic power occurs when we are doing the will of our Soul, or aligning our personalities with our Soul, has been another stepping stone of understanding. To me, being multisensory is like becoming whole.

Very helpful, like the last time. For me, I could use more time in groups; however, I did not get disconnected this time. I forgot that I had a question about putting our e-mail or phone number on our comments if we want to speak to someone.
Gary, your comments about feeling the frightened parts, but then cultivating the loving parts was so helpful. I could easily recognize the frightened parts, but did not really have time to do more than acknowledge they were active, in the work environment. What I understood you to say, is to have a loving part in mind that you want to remember, thereby cultivating the loving part. That will be my plan.

One coincidence that happened at the Journey surrounded the secret friend that we all chose. Mine had a very common name and I wondered how long it would be before I found her. Monday morning, I took a seat in the conference room, only a few people were seated, and there she was, wearing her name tag, sitting in the chair next to me, on my right; When we broke up into groups, she was at my table. And finally, my birthday was on Tuesday, during the Journey, and it turns out, her birthday was the same day. I didn’t hear of anyone else having a birthday on that day during the Journey, and here we were, the both of us at the same table and I was her secret friend. Actually, we did not exchange personal information, and I am sorry about that. I really feel like there may be more to this than mere coincidence. More to come? I hope we can connect and stay in touch.

The first conference call was great, so supportive. Gary, what you told Amy was so valuable. I too would be afraid that I was giving into fear, to feel all the pain. Actually, the discussion surrounding the little white yippy dog was also very valuable.The consequences of not challenging the frightened parts affects us all, if I understood you. I found it extremely motivating to look at it that way.

I had a much more difficult time with the call this time then other times. It took me 10 minutes to be connected. It disconnected me three times before I could join you, and then four times during my group, I was disconnected and each time, it took several tries to get back in. This is not meant to be complaining, but just to let you know. I think the continued support of the phone calls is really going to make a difference in my own speed of growth. Thank you both.

What is the alternative to making spiritual growth my highest priority? PAIN! When it hurts bad enough, we will do something about it. Okay, you have my attention. Time to grow again. Looking forward to joining others of like mind, at Mt. Hood in two weeks.
