Hi Coach,

unconscious patterns in me,

I 'leap' into -

It is my current NOW experience that 'others' don't want me to look
'here' - I suppose they don't realy care if I look 'here' but definitely
don't want me to tell them about it.

>>>>>the less and less power they have to govern the course of my life .
. . . . and the more I can wake up on it, and step aside, and just be
silent, or else communicate candidly and non-manipulatively, as seems
appropriate in the moment . . . that is, the more I understand these
conditioned patterns in me, the less these patterns get in my way.

I 'leap' into -

Does this lead up to spending life alone, because I have alienated those
around me who prefer my conditioned self.

>>>>>It is possible to *understand* these personality patterns of ours
right out-of-power in our lives, leaving us truly free. And then,
unburdened by that superfluous funny stuff, which has such a disruptive
influence on the course of our lives, it is entirely up to us to do our
best in reaching out to the world for the things we like the most and
love the most to do.

>>>>>The "trick" in human relations is not in being either "good boys
and girls," or being "bad boys and girls." The trick is in being awake,
and in being transparently human. ....

....and alone?

love
Pauline.

Wayne Dyer spoke of Soaring like an Eagle....

"If you want to soar like an eagle, you must get out of the 'duck
pond' -- quack, quack, quack, quack, quack."
