Hi John

To be old, as you are, how far have you came on this path? What drew
you to be interested this awareness stuff, awareness game, or what
ever. I found your wheel to be interesting, and revealing.

I related to the Doormat type personality. I've been looking inside
myself for about four about five years. My behavior patterns, things
inside myself, to see why I do the things I do. Or why I make to hard
work of life or just being? From what I’ve learned so far, seems like
the problem lies within. And it’s totally opposite to what I thought it
was.

What advice would you give for someone just starting on this Awareness
Game? For someone that’s not that well educated and complicates
everything? It all seems mystical and mysterious and out of reach, for
a person that just does, and not thinking so much about when, why, or
how.

Do you believe all the manipulative behavior patterns are already set
by age ten?

What’s the payoff, the ultimate benefit, for practicing the Awareness
Game?
