Hi Indira and all my co-students, I haven't been in the open classroom for a while and so I'm not up with what has been going on. But I did just finish reading lesson 9. Although I didn't do the exercise in lesson 8 where you spend the day in a new place and follow your intuition. I haven't figured out how to extract myself from my work and my family and give a day to myself. Guess I have to work on this. I did have a very remarkable family therapy session after reading lesson 8, in which I did not think about too much and just went with my intuition. we were all in tears by the end of that session. I was very grateful. I wrote an answer to the question you asked in lesson 9 about how do we feel when we read these lessons: I feel calm, a sense of peace, like everything is alright, I feel like ababy in her mother's arms. love Annie

I dig the way you describe how you feel when you read the lessons. I feel supported, exhilarated, and like there is hope. I get the feeling that the lessons are a bright light guiding me through the dark--"the forest of ego." And when I read what you and others write, I get the feeling that there are bright lights all over the world who are also on this path. Peace, Kevin
ReplyDeleteHallo Annie and Kevin and all the others,
ReplyDeleteI feel good reading your experiences and comments but I am a little disappointed that from 22 members from this blog only four or five are writing here.
At the beginning from the lessons it was not so quiet.
Annie I missed you also but I am happy to hear from you now.
My life is very exciting and I am very active to take part of life.
I have nearly no time to read my lectures regularly but I feel it is o.k.
Kevin you are rearly a nice guy.
I send all of you greetings from Germany, Bavaria.
Elisabeth
Dear Annie
ReplyDeleteI love your honesty and your style to write.I think we all are somewhere on our own speed with the lessons.
My experience with lesson 8 is more a feeling of being true to myself .I loved my day. I did start lesson 9 and find myself more aware,which gives me a good feeling.I did have a few days where I caught myself just running through the day and felt exhausted until I went on the classroom.Even I don't write a lot here, it's wonderful to know that all of YOU are a part of this journey!!!Happy week ursula
dear Annie, you do not have to actually go to a new place for the exercise on being open to intuition...the suggestion was more to leave your home...and go into the outside world...so you would be away from your normal home environment. However, you could also try it at home...that might be even more of a challenge (which is why I was sending you away from home.) Ultimately we want to be guided by higher Intuition at all times. And it DOES sound like you did that with your family therapy session. So good for you!
ReplyDeletewell, I said in my last comment, "ultimately we want to be guided by higher Intuition at all times..." actually we ARE always guided...I meant to say, "ultimately we want to follow higher Intuition at all times..."
ReplyDeleteI am so deeply touched when I write something here and people respond. I feel like a kid who just got a toy or a candy or a hug. So thank you Kevin and Elizabeth (it is so nice to be in contact with you agaoin), Ursuka and Indira. Indira, thank you for explaining how I can do the exersice. I was really thinking it would just not happen. Now I can work on it. love Annie
ReplyDeletejust "checking in" to say hello and express my gratitude for each of you. It is great to know I am walking this path with such wondrous human beings. Annie, I am "working" on listening to and following my intuition all the time, which makes me aware of how often I am out-of-touch with my intuition, with how often I get lost in thinking I am the one in control, and how much pain that brings me. It always brought me stress, trying to control everything, but I used to not know it. I thought it was the way to be, especially in a male-dominated world. Maybe it is harder for most guys to get in touch with intuition, I don't know, because maybe it is more a feminine principal, but I find it gives me more empowerment in my work, and I can let go more of my "male" role, (my conditioned mind) which gives me more freedom just to be.
