But if in dealing with 100 lost causes, I can get that one person to open their eyes a little, then it's worth it. Quoting: Green Witch Stated differently, you’re willing to waste 99% of your time and energy on those not actually seeking to learn. Why not invest 99% of your time and energy on the 1 out of 100 that’s actually seeking to learn? Well, then! It’s always nice to know where we stand in the Mind of others. In that case..... show me a clean corner of your house I can soil, then I’ll join the cockroaches for drinks. . “Mental slavery is the worst form of slavery. It gives you the illusion of freedom, makes you trust, love, and defend your oppressor, while making an enemy of those who are trying to free you or open your eyes.” -Fiyah “None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe “You have been programmed to resist the very person that is here to set you free, from the prison of your Mind... You are not free... everything you are has been manufactured by Minds that have not your best interest. You are imprisoned by beliefs and not reality.

If someone gets in my face and starts preaching or telling me how bad I am, depending upon the circumstances, I might consider that an opportunity to reach an understanding. If not then I move on. I don't waste my time with those who can't be reached. But I won't know until I try. Even Jesus left the 99 in the flock to reach the one lost sheep. “Secure the shadow, ere the substance fades.” |

There is nothing dogmatic about her approach at all. I’m in Chapter 6 and I can attest that thus far there is no agenda. Quite the opposite. She’s written on the subject from a broad perspective that encompasses all forms and styles. She simplifies, clarifies, and makes understandable all of the confusing and contradictory “instruction” that pervades the internet. This is a woman with a LOT of experience but is modest. She’s knowledgeable and well versed, yet doesn’t hesitate to show her humanity and vulnerability. She isn’t afraid to be herself to the reader. There is no effort on her part to persuade the reader she is “enlightened”, nor does she adopt a false persona. She’s real. She’s frank. She’s down to earth and straightforward. She writes casually as if she’s having a conversation on the patio with a friend, and she discusses her weaknesses and mistakes. She cuts through all the bullshit and gets right to the heart of matters, yet she’s thorough. It’s an excellent read that I would recommend to anyone. I greatly appreciate the recommendation. . “Mental slavery is the worst form of slavery.

I'm willing to learn and question and I'd like to think I'm open to new ideas. But some beliefs are so ingrained in me since childhood. Does recognition of that and knowing that some things about myself are unchanging make me more or less a free thinker? Can anyone absolutely, 100% call themselves a free spirit/thinker? “Secure the shadow, ere the substance fades.” |

Since I got to hold baby Elizabeth, I've been going through mom withdrawal. If you are a woman, especially a mother, you know what I'm talking about. There is something about holding that precious little life in your arms that just triggers you. My daughter said it would happen and I knew it too lol "Mom, you hold that baby and you are gonna go mental" lol Unfortunately my baby factory was shut down years ago so I'll have to settle for a puppy. “Secure the shadow, ere the substance fades.” |
