When I write, I constantly edit myself, as “hearing” it read aloud, wanting, and hoping that people understand my point or lack of one.

When I’m writing for myself…to think on paper, I don’t do this. Your statement of writing based on belief that somebody will judge opened my mind. That was HUGE.

I enjoyed your chapter but then I usually enjoy what you write. I can see where writing for personal satisfaction would take a lot of the fear out of writing. I can even tell myself that I’m not a writer. I just put words on paper. I can also see where writing it down can help you work through a problem. I’ve used writing as a way to clearify my thinking at work and with my person relationships. I’ve just never used it for my spiritual life. I used music for that.

Thank you for shairing your work with us.

Thank you for sharing with us the voice of your Inner Critic, Janet.

I can relate to your experience that most of my inner judgments are from my youngest years, and to hearing that voice on the other shoulder reminding me that there’s a deeper truth that the Inner Critic doesn’t quite know.

I wish you will in your journey of unearthing your truth and living in alignment with it.

doubt .. !!
Whats that all about..
a preprogramed enzymatic inhibitor i doubt
a naturally resistant yearning to become wholey and truely utterly and unforgivably brillaint.. i doubt
only i feel that which dwells on a cellular genetic level, a result of countless years of genetic breeding, individual bombardments on the unique tones of diverse human qualities stirictly honed and subtlally manipulated by aristocratic roles and marketing ploys.
flush them out, claen our souls, hear our holes of consciouness fill, brim and expand into terratories of shared notions of ecology and collectiove consiousness proven as east and west north and south meet in a world of cyber space .. forever at your fingertips and so far away that your arms could not reach.
its all possible and its coming to light, WE are becoming stronger , We are communiingcommunicatingColaboratingcollectivlyREcreating
Our time has come
Cris many thanks for this wonderful and rapidly booming platform

cyber space is our coolective concoiusness, i realised when we type with both hands we are actively being crosshemispherical in out lyrical play.
meeting engageing sharing , broadcasting our beings and becoming in actual timespace and beyond the creatures we were all meant to be

@Marcie,
Hi Marcie,
What Carlos says is bang on. Focus on what you want as compared to what you don’t. The reason is we get more of what we give focus energy and attention to even if it’s not what we want. This is the law of attraction at work and it working whether we acknowledge it or not.

Most people are stuck because they are hoping that their situation will change, or the other person will change, or, that someone will come and rescue them. They are counting on the “hope and a prayer” method not realising it’s about taking responsibility for their lives through the actions that they take.

Changing how you frame your words and your thinking is easier than it might seem. Quiting 35 years of smoking for me didn’t from from “I’m going to quit smoking” because that sure didn’t work. That’s because I was concentrating on “the smoking”. When I make a declarative statement “to breathe only fresh air” now that changed everything. So make a declarative statement in the pure positive about what you do want and you’ll attract that into your life.

As Carlos also said “it’s up to you”

to your spirit,
Don C

@mike miller,
hi mike,
Everything happens for a reason and whether we are aware of it or not, it’s always on our best interest. We may not see it at first because it always comes through ways we dont understand like changes and pain. I left my husband 2 months ago too and I dont know if I did the right thing.I wanted to comfort you as I feel guilty as hell to have left but I just wanted some change in my life. But I guess you found your light and you seem very positive about the future. Blessings …

I am a 49-year-old wife of 14 years to a dying alcoholic who drinks 1/2-gallon of Vodka each and every day.
I am sooooooooooooo tired of my life and watching him slowly kill himself. It’s killing me too, but in a totally different way.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I believe in a Higher Power and I’m praying constantly.

Thank You.

Chris, thank you so much for sharing this! I cannot begin to tell you how inspired and empowered I feel after reading it.

I’ve spent a lifetime living in fear….mostly of being judged and judged harshly. Often it’s the self-judgements that are the worst, though I can’t help but think they are rooted in the stories that family, friends, society in general have told me over the years and which I’ve bought into. I think the most soul-destroying among those has to be that, as a high school dropout, I’m not smart enough, I can’t possibly know anything of value, anything worth sharing. Oh, I have a few certificates under my belt, gained as a mature student in programs that didn’t necessarily require any of the usual prerequisites, some of which even allow me to earn a decent living, but even at that, I’ve managed to convince myself that they don’t count and, as a result, I’ve continued to feel less-than and stupid and….

As I read what you wrote, I found myself questioning on a level I never have before, the validity of all of those old messages and I even heard a voice, which I later realized was my own, saying “It’s not true, Janet. The truth is what you believe it to be. That’s the only truth that matters.”

Thank you so much for this wonderful gift of finding my own voice and believing it is of value.

Namaste,
Janet
