Introducing a DE-Program course I developed in 2020 and am offering again now, Integrating the Spirals™. This post goes into the prerequisites for the course; the things one needs to do first before joining. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, wherever you are in the world.
Make a list of anything you want to work on: incorporating more movement into each day, following through on your To Do lists, getting out of overwhelm, stop procrastinating, break habits, set goals, write a book, organize your closet, move, downsize, live off-grid, rid yourself of anxious thoughts, sleep better, feel less lonely, and so on.
Pull all of your previously purchased books, programs, current recurring subscriptions, and favorite authors (list them), favorite speakers (spiritual/motivational/philosophical)
Make a commitment to this process and set everything else aside (put current courses on hold if at all possible). We will be working on prioritizing our projects and commitments in this DE-Program so a clean slate is advised (at least for the first two weeks)
Our goals
Move out of fear and struggle
Ease angst and the need to Control the actions of others
Honoring our selves (what we really want)
Honoring our ancestors (lineage, homeland)
Listen to ourselves (to find understanding, self compassion, and healing)
Listen to others intently with presence to learn how you can serve them
Drop self criticism and blame (and offer that gift to others as they are open to receive)
Organize our own thoughts and priorities to sleep better at night and accomplish more each day
Release overwhelm and unworthiness
Bloom where we are planted or move to where we are celebrated (Be the Change)
Nurture yourself and Nature (Plant a tree or something, walk barefoot)
Ease apathy
Live in Gratitude
About the Integrating the Spirals meetings
Let’s do these Integrating the Spirals Zoom calls on Sundays from 1pm to 3pm Eastern time zone (New York USA time) and see how it goes. If you want to join, let me know. I am offering these calls for free and if anyone wants to tip that will graciously be accepted via: PayPal.Me/SheilaMurrey but no more than is comfortable for you, recognizing we are all in a different place financially.
Connecting
Working the Integrating the Spiral DE-Program, lifts us out of negative self-talk, breaks us of some of the triggers that get us riled up, brings in more calm and ease, and connects us with others of like-mind.
Connecting with our ancestors, will improve the relationships that we have because we’re gonna get a lot more peace and understanding and gratitude in us for our ancestors. We wouldn’t be here without them. This will also help you feel totally supported. You’re never alone because your ancestors are always there always in your blood. So in a sense, they’re always around you even if you don’t or can’t or won’t see them spiritually yet.
The universe always has your back because you live in it. You’re part of it. You’re a layer of the onion within the onion.
Omniscience God, God Omniscience
You’re a fractal of Omniscience because you’re always a part of something bigger. You are not separate from it. Your Connectedness to yourself and All-There-Is Omniscience is Holism. We use the directions. We use the elements. We will use what we have and learn how to integrate it INTO our daily lives.
This isn’t a course it’s going to try to sell you other stuff.
You’re going to walk away with epiphanies each time. One recent attendee said, “this course opened something inside of me.”
This DE-Program course is a combination of counseling, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), body movement, breathwork, meditation, and process management. One could say it’s a holistic, 360 degree full circle time management course. Or a holistic organizational behavior course. One could call it different things because it is more about opening you to YOU than other programs that, well, PROGRAM you!
Integrating the Spirals: Integrating Nature
Imagine this:
You are a seed planted in the dark earth. Little by little things around you begin to inform you. Everything you hear, smell, taste, touch, and see. Yes, as a seed you have physical senses!
You grow and expand day by day until you eventually burst up and out through the dirt into the light!
Every time you got fertilized (shit on), it served you. Every one of these things stimulated your becoming, your growth. These triggers could have pissed you off or make you mad. And without understanding the cause of those events, you grew up but without a clue as to how or why. You only knew you did. And that you exist.
You knew up was warm and bright. You knew down was dark and cold. You knew nothing else. But still you grew.
You are still growing as you read this, and here’s the key. We all are still growing. And everyone grows at differing rates of speed.
Did you appreciate the dirt? In the winter the seed experiences the opposite. Up is cold and bright. Down is dark and warm!
Can you take a 360 degree view of your life NOW from that perspective and allow your observations to expand your consciousness a bit?
That’s what this course does. It opens you for expansion. Are you ready?
We Are ALL Connected and the decisions of others can and do tug, push, or pull us to the degree we ALLOW. I still believe in personal responsibility because if I influence someone to higher or lower frequency level—I am culpable. Each of us are a layer within the onion, not the whole onion. We are a fractal of Omniscience–and Omniscience knows ALL.

Introducing a DE-Program course I developed in 2020 and am offering again now, Integrating the Spirals™. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, wherever you are in the world.
Video introductions
I wanted to include in this post a video that I just shared on Tik Tok. I created this DE-Program and its accompanying introductory video in 2020. It was the pandemic time; It was COVID lock-down time. We were living off-grid in the RV that we owned at the time. We’ve since sold. I was out walking barefoot in the sand. I’ve also posted that video. I guess I can include that as well on this. Just to show you what I was doing. And I was doing this almost every day. Barring the rain, or when the idiot (who you will hear in this video) decides to roar his engine and big truck tires down our dirt road. Imagine hearing that noise on a dirt road, I mean–craziness! But whatever, right? Live and let live. And yeah so when he wasn’t interrupting or when he wasn’t out… he almost hit me one day (that’s really why I’m triggered by him probably more than the noise) and just thinking that he’s the only one in the world. Nobody else’s lives in the neighborhood, or matters. There he goes in his big old pumped up (jacked up) 4×4 pickup truck and goes roaring down the street. Sometimes several times a day, sometimes only a couple times a week.
So anyway, I would just rest on my Faith, right? Not be in fear that I would get out there and walk barefoot in the sand and this is one of the results from those walks. I call it Integrating the Spirals now it was integrated spiral when it first dropped into my mind but the talk goes something like this I’ve shortened it to a bit too–since the 45-minute video that went on Facebook in 2020, almost nobody responded to. So the talk goes like this: (Sorry, WordPress wouldn’t allow me to embed a .MOV file, so I had to embed it from TikTok and hope you can watch it whether you have a TikTok account or not).
Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt held back from sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings on social media. And raise your hand if you’re open to learning simple ways to naturally attract your ideal clients and fans. Sharing your truths is key here and Justin Spencer of chaos and kindness is a prime example for this (the band name is Recycled Percussion if you’re familiar with any of those names). Justin is a prime example. In the area of WoW, motivation entrepreneurship working his ass off since he was 14 or 15 something like, or maybe even younger. And mental health he’s a huge advocate for helping people with their mental health. But like me, he’s not a doctor or a practicing medical professional. So we can only do what we can do right if you need to hear your stuff from a 10-year. schooled Pharma indoctrinated person professional, have at it. But they’ve only caused me issues in my life. I’ll just put it that way. It’s the nicest way that I can possibly say it.
Moving out of fear and struggle
I’m here to share with you how to move out of fear and struggle. I’ve been married three times I’ve raised two children. They’re adults now both in their 40s believe that or not? Yes, I started young. But mostly as a single mom. I got them grown up–whatever you want to call it. I was always working. I was always going to school. I held a mindset, though of struggle. And I was challenged by my second ex-husband who had so many issues he was he’d been fired a gun in my direction one day. And yeah, he was an addict. But through all that, I got to go to a lot of self-help recovery-type programs, group therapies, and such. So you know, always a silver lining.
Dark night of the soul
At one point I nearly committed suicide because I kept making poor choices, and I could hardly make my way out of that spiritually dark place. Even after that, years later, I was faced with a job loss and health crisis previously mentioned about how I lost my faith in the medical profession. The traditional one. That was back in 2004 and 2005. It challenged everything I knew about medical doctors working for corporations and even the law-our justice system is so screwed (thinking back to my cousin’s murder last year).
Honor your innermost being
The teaching point here is to honor your innermost being your inner think inner versus the outer world. Listen, listen to yourself, listen to your body. Meditate. Focus on that breath in. Bring it into as many places and spaces in your body as you can muster. Hold it when you’ve taken in every last little eek bit of air. Just hold it for a few seconds count if you like and then exhale, but exhale for longer than you breathe in. So you would take your breath, let’s say to a count of four, five, or six, whatever you like. Hold it for three, maybe then exhale for 7, 8, 9, 10 and the experts, whether we call them Yogi’s gurus or whatnot, they say if you can make your exhale as silent as possible, you’ve mastered it. You want to make your breath as silent as possible.
Integrating the Spirals
Speak to yourself
So, speak, talk to yourself, record yourself. If you don’t have a partner to talk with. So why might you want to take integrate the spirals? Why might you want to take this course Why do you want to work with me? You don’t know me, right? Even if you know me, do you trust me? Well, for more than 30 years, I’ve been a business analyst means that my brain is always working. I’m always analyzing stuff. It means simply though, I listen. And I ask questions and then I document what I hear back and I run that back by the folks that I just interviewed. And then make sure I captured things correctly, make changes as needed, et cetera. It’s a process. I’m really good at processes. I elicit responses. I’ve been asked in interviews. Well, how do you do that? Well, a lot of it is asking pertinent questions, and staying in the flow of the conversation so that you’re not asking some silly stupid question that doesn’t make a hill of beans worth of sense. To somebody who’s just poured out their heart to you, you know, you want to stay on point on the topic. Be with them and be present. That’s really the key to that.
Listen to yourself and others intently
Be so good at listening, that you can pick up the repetitive words people use. That’s so key. Listen for the repetitive words. I know those words tell so much of what that person is thinking. I know we can ascertain different outcomes by changing these words because we SAY what we THINK. It’s in us. There’s that inner world stuff again. Right? We’ve been saying these words to ourselves, for the first four years. You know, who is that observer in you? Who’s that person that’s in that voice in your head that that’s in there talking all the time, right? That person that’s saying, I don’t know if I want to do that. I don’t know if I want to go there. You know those words. That person (talking in your head) is the judging person. It’s your inner critic. People have said it’s the dark angel on your shoulder, versus the light one. The Light Angel is suggesting good things, positive stuff, uplifting stuff for you to do today. Well, that Dark Angel, that’s the one that’s saying he or she or you, is an idiot. Don’t call yourself that. You’re just unlearned at that moment. Even when I call the loud driver, the guy in the truck an idiot. That’s because I’m triggered that’s coming from a lower point in my vibration. So he’s really not an idiot person. Let’s hope not anyway because he got a license somehow. We assume so. And he’s driving. So he has hands and feet that work right–even though he tried to run me down.
Criticizing and judging never works
Anyway, all that criticizing and judgment stuff. That will never work. It’s just not helpful. That I can’t when I make poor choices, dammit. To Die For. How many times you hear people say, “This is so good; This food is so delicious it’s to die for”? Don’t say that. Just don’t do that. Stop that. And when you hear people say this phrase what? When they say, “Who do they think they are?” We’re your inner critic saying that to you? Who do you think you are? Right? You’re, you know, a pretty smart person. And you have options and you have choices and the world is your oyster kind of thing. Right? So all those words that are stuck inside of you, it becomes overwhelming. Who do we think we are? Well, I’ll tell you who I am. I’m spirit wrapped in an earthly plant. Based body.
What are we made of?
I am really plant nature-based (in this body) whatever you want to call it. I’m an animal, I guess I’m part animal, part plant, but I’m definitely part of the plant world. I’m part of the natural world. I wasn’t machined in a factory. So I’m natural. This body that I inhabit is natural. I am a spirit. I’m from somewhere else. The great Yeshua or Jesus the Christ or the person that you know of whom I’m speaking the man from Nazareth in Galilee, who walked and talked and taught people 2000 years ago. He said that to be in the world, not of the world. And that used to be as a child one of my favorite scriptures to meditate on at night after the nighttime prayer. I would just lay there thinking what does that mean that only differences a couple of very short words and in you know, be in it, but not have it like you’re not of this world? You didn’t know, it’s a very deep vast chasm. When you fall into that thinking and meditate on that. What does that really mean?
When stuck in overwhelm or unworthiness
So, if you’re stuck in overwhelm if you’re stuck in unworthiness, that’s a big one, everybody at those AA meetings and recovery-type meetings is always unworthy, always feeling unworthy. unworthiness is always at the bottom of everything, every place where they get to eventually, there’s always guilt or shame, one or the other, both. But all the shit they did that they felt bad about. Probably shouldn’t have done it, but they get stuck in victimhood, too. That’s a big one, right? Victimhood, blaming stuff on everybody else because why? You don’t want to change. You don’t want to do anything about it. You want to remain just as you are and make the whole world around you change. Yeah, that’s what all the wars are fought about. Or imposter syndrome. Impostor Syndrome. That’s, that’s good too because that’d be like me writing a holistic health book. Right when I’m not a doctor. Am I an imposter? Apathy, apathy is huge. Goes back to that. I don’t give a shit attitude and I don’t want to change but I want the whole world to change to suit me. Never going to happen, folks. Wake up. Big lightbulb moment for you there if you thought you were gonna try to control anything around you.
Apathy
How about the “F-U-C-K that,” right? How about that? That’s right, walking hand in hand with apathy. They’re right. Just not giving a shit; not giving a crap; not given a care, right? And I’m not saying hey, there’s right and wrong to these things. Sometimes it’s good to sit with some of these things. It’s healing you know, you’re letting your feelings rise, cry, let it out. Heal. So all we’re doing we’re all we’re doing is excavating here running a big bulldozer or ditch witch or whatever kind of machinery you’re familiar with a shovel is over you and your mind and your mindset so that you can shake things up and get rid of some you know, just shake the dust off the dirt out, unclutter your mind and help you gain more sense of purpose and balance. help your body heal when you can really some of these negative critical thinking thoughts critical as in you being critical of yourself.
Bless it!
So what might change for us in our lives in our businesses, if we said God bless it instead of Damn it, you know, or I love it instead of effort. Right? Just bless it as God bless it that guy and big loud truck this will all makes sense when you watch the video on town. Yeah, I didn’t have it. planned. I didn’t pay the guy. He was right on cue. It was the synchronicity I mean, it was just so undeniable that that was a synchronicity. It felt right in line with what I was talking about being triggered, and, and he was a trigger for me. I admit it. I have. I have no guilt or shame in admitting that.
Blooming
We can bloom where we’re planted. That’s a good phrase to say to oneself every day I can bloom where I’m planted. One I’ve been saying to Richard a lot lately is, “We’re gonna go where we’re celebrated, not tolerated.” Because I have a feeling that some people just quit caring and you know, they were just tolerating us (for the money we spent while we were out with them. Maybe?). So that’s okay. You know, everybody’s got their own gig, right? Go where you’re celebrated, baby. I mean, let’s spin it to the positive. Every challenge is a barometer. That’s what it is. Look up what a barometer does, when you’re when it’s reading the weather, you know? It’s gonna show us if we’re living our truth, that’s what all these words are doing. They’re showing us if we’re living our truth, and if you’re not thinking first you’re reacting. Okay?
About the Integrating the Spirals meetings
So Integrating the Spirals. I’m thinking about doing these Zoom calls on Sundays from 1pm to 3pm. Tuesdays from 5pm to 7pm, although that’s our dinner time. We’ll change things up one day a week (as for our dinner time) so I have time for this. This DE-Program, if you like that particular time frame, these are Eastern Time Zone times. Or Fridays from 6pm to 8pm. Or I could do anytime on Saturdays.
Let me know in the comments if you’re interested in joining me for this course, initially, since we’re essentially beta testing this right now, I’m thinking there won’t be any charge to it. If you’ll do me a favor. Can you spread the word, share this out? Share this message and tell some people about it. That’d be great.
I also think I want to do a sliding scale in the future when I do charge for this. Let me know what you think about that too. I’m thinking we’ll charge maybe $10 a session, or $25 to $60 for the whole course (but pay as you feel led or what you can afford). And it’s probably going to be take four sessions, but I’m thinking of making it five or six and spreading it out a little because it’s a lot of information. And the whole point is to integrate it in. I just don’t want people to buy things or spend any money at all. Don’t send me one dime if you’re not going to integrate this because that’s the whole point.
We do this course because we all have the books! (And the programs, and the coaches, etc.) I’ve downsized as much as I possibly felt I could but I still have a library of two medium-sized Rubbermaid totes full of books, and then a few more on top of that, so I probably have 30 or 40 books still in paperback and hardcover. I’ve moved as much as I can to Kindle and my Books app. I’ve always got between six and 12 books that I’m reading in progress at any given time, mostly for research for writing the blog and for my books in progress/planned.
Connecting
Anyway, let me know about Integrating the Spiral because this is useful as a book writing process as well. Just learning the DE-Program, getting out of the negative self-talk, and breaking some of the triggers that get us riled up, to bring in more calm and ease and connecting. I didn’t even talk about this yet. Connect. Connecting with our ancestors, will improve the relationships that we have because we’re gonna get a lot more peace and understanding and gratitude in us for our ancestors and we wouldn’t it be here without them. So feel your pulse feel. Know that their blood runs through your veins this will help connect you and it’ll also help you feel totally supported. You’re never alone because your ancestors are always there always in your blood. So in a sense, they’re always around you even if you don’t or can’t or won’t see them spiritually yet. The universe always has your back because you live in it. You’re part of it. You’re a layer of the onion within the onion.
Omniscience God
God Omniscience. You’re a fractal of omniscience because you’re always a part. You’re always a part of it. So it doesn’t exist separate from you. And your connectedness to yourself. That inner critic, the inner being inside of you, your spiritual nature, your soul that’s in your blood, all of that is key, and it’s really holism that’s what I’m teaching is Holism we use the directions we use the elements. We use crystals that you don’t have to use any of that because once you know it, and once you know about it, you can go anywhere and walk anywhere and do anything and these things will either be presented to you or pictures of them or humans. They’re just going to be there. They’re going to be out in nature. So don’t worry about that. This isn’t a course it’s going to try to sell you other stuff.
You’re going to walk away with epiphanies each time. It’s a kind of combination of counseling, and EFT the Emotional Freedom Technique. I used to teach that for a very long time at a Wellness Center. So you get some of that. You get me as a shaman or a witch doctor or however you want to look at me. We’re going to talk about holistic lessons on how to improve our life and our health. I just codified my lessons learned from life, from work, and I let my spirit totem butterfly push me out of my cocoon to live a wholly vibrant life.
A seed was planted in the dark earth imagine it starts to burst up and out through the dirt into the light, so every time you get shit on, somebody triggers you, somebody pisses you off and makes you mad. They’re stimulating you. They’re stimulating your growth. Imagine the dirt, the manure, whatever you want to imagine, around you as the little seed and all you got to do is just be you just be the seed, and when the light warms up the ground, you know where the light is versus going into the cold darkness of the deeper Earth. You’re gonna rise UP, you’re gonna rise to the occasion and reach for that light for that warmth. And you’re growing. We all are and we all grow at differing rates. of speed. I say that a lot.
Here’s the thing about integrating if you change one habit daily, think about that one habit. I didn’t just say do something once a day, but you’re changing a habit every day that’s 365 days in the year 365 new habits Who do you think you’ll be at the end of the year? So this course encourages you to make additional healthy choices. Even if you make 300 By the end of the year, even if you made 200, or 150 new habits. Who are you going to be at the end of the year? So think about it. Watch the video. Let me know what you think.
We Are ALL Connected and the decisions of others can and do tug, push, or pull us to the degree we ALLOW. I still believe in personal responsibility because if I influence someone to higher or lower frequency level—I am culpable. Each of us are a layer within the onion, not the whole onion. We are a fractal of Omniscience–and Omniscience knows ALL.

So, I had three fraudulent charges show up on my credit card this morning, which triggered a text message to my phone and woke me up. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
The fraudulent charges
In the early morning hours on Friday someone fraudulently charged my credit card for nearly $600 worth of stuff at Verizon Wireless via the internet.
The $1 charges were a test to see if the card worked. Then they ran it for the large amount of around $564 and change.
Pexels code image
What could have caused this?
I have recently added the TikTok app to my phone and a couple other apps. Kicking myself over that as I had removed all superfluous apps from my phone a year or more ago when we were hacked twice in a year! Ugh
Could it have been related to a disgruntled Instacart driver? I had put in an order for groceries on Wednesday night to have them delivered between 8-10am on Thursday, and they have always been on time or early! But nooo… not this time. They sent a message at 9 saying the shopper just got my order and would deliver at 11:15am! Normally, that would be okay but Thursday we had to walk to my husband’s doctor appointment!! Grrr! So, I chatted with the shopper and said no, and explained I had put the order in the night before and we were not going to be home. She was short with me (rude) and eventually told me I would have to contact Instacart to reschedule. I did but whoever I talked with didn’t do her job right and an hour later, another shopper started shopping our order. Again I said NO I rescheduled for 2pm!! She said they couldn’t cancel and I had to call Instacart AGAIN. Now, I am pissed. So, I called and the gentleman I spoke to apologized and changed or order to 3:30-5pm. Now, we wouldn’t have our lunch but at least frozen fish wouldn’t be left outside our door to melt. Ugh.
We walked to the doctors office and I worked on my own mental attitude to “let it go.”
The funny thing was the wonderful lady shopper who delivered our groceries at 4pm spent time explaining she could see all the former texts between the earlier shoppers and me. I apologized but she said, no, they should have apologized to me because I did nothing wrong and both the earlier ones were lazy! She said they CAN remove or shift an order though both told me they couldn’t. And that there was a glitch for her to see the texts that day. Normally, they can’t see the texts between previous shoppers and the customer, which then stuck in my head when the fraud charges happened! What else could they see?!? They scan our drivers license when we have wine delivered!
This is how my mind works.
Removed several apps from my iPhone
So, I removed about 6 apps from my phone and will use my laptop for everything except Uber and Lyft. I may owe my career to Bill Gates and technology but I am getting to the place of hating it due to cyber crimes! And Cyber is HUGE business!
Spiral thought: this is what aggravates me about some in the health field. They can’t admit when their industry is wrong. I admit technology has its evils. I have desired to leave tech for a very long time!
Back to the issue of Cybersecurity though.
Connections
I am sooo thankful our niece is studying for her Masters degree in Cyber Security!
I needed to calm down and put my angst into something actionable so I texted my sister-in-law to relay a message to her daughter that if she had time we had been hacked. She did and not long after, our niece chatted with me (and I sent her screenshots) of what happened. I also explained what my credit card company told me as well as the business involved, and she agreed it sucked to have this happen but to try and just let them work through the process.
First, one puts a freeze on the card. Then you report the fraud charge and report the card lost/stolen. Now, my card wasn’t lost or stolen but my account number was, so I don’t know how someone got that, along with my zip code and security code, expiration date, etc. But I am quite sure the financial institutions can figure it out.
Whoever bought something through Verizon Wireless online (because the stores were closed when the charges occurred), would probably use their real name and address, just my card info to pay nearly $600 for whatever, new service, phone, or such.
In the meantime, the credit card company will remove the charges on my account, but it still means that I can’t use my card for up to 10 days, as they have to change my account number and mail me a new card! Ugh!
And when I get my new card I will have to update all the places I use it for recurring charges. Ugh!
But I know we can’t kill all the hackers. (And yes, that’s always the extreme version of the thought process and how wars get started. The human need or drive for vengeance, justice, or CONTROL—we will just call it what it is).
We Are ALL Connected and the decisions of others can and do tug, push, or pull us to the degree we ALLOW. I still believe in personal responsibility because if I influence someone to higher or lower frequency—I am culpable. Omniscience knows ALL.

A lot of something can be a poison; a little, a medicine. In the physical, our eyes are limited and we see through the veil darkly. And fractals. Always uncovering the fractals to reveal many layers and play with the patterns that emerge.
To listen instead of read, play this (you’ll get a surprise if you do, I sing a line from a song you may recognize that inspired this):
A Sunday meditation (examining thoughts)
Alcohol. Used to make tinctures, tonics, and medicine, or to cook with, can be good. But to an alcoholic that same small amount can trigger a binge. People have died from drinking too much alcohol. Thus, it is a lethal substance, yet legal (in most places in the USA).
Water. Too little can kill; too much can kill. Air carries tiny droplets of water we call, Humidity.
Air. Breathwork is beautiful. Hyperventilation can cause someone to pass out. Humans can only go so many minutes without air though. Our physical reality literally depends on a mixture of invisible chemicals we call, Air.
Dirt. I remember a story about a Russian woman who lived to a long age by eating dirt. We need a little dirt, I recall hearing as a child–for the minerals. When we die, we are buried beneath four to six feet of dirt. When we buried my parents the cemetery owner told me the “six feet under” thing was a fallacy. They typically only dig the hole down into the earth about four feet.
Minerals. A little mercury? Too much is certain poison. A little dab will do you (maybe?) of this earth element that is a combination found in the environment of cinnabar and metacinnabar. But at some amount, mercury is toxic. Who was the first person to discover this? What suffering did that person experience?
Driving. When drivers follow the rules, traffic seems orderly. Remember leisurely Sunday drives? I do. But recently I chose to give up driving because it stresses me out. Or perhaps, I ALLOW crazy drivers to stress ME out? Even when I practice Reiki and turn my spiritual Reiki light on, the hassle of driving was something I didn’t feel I needed anymore–plus the financial costs of buying, maintaining, fueling, and insuring a car when I only went short distances once a week.
What stresses you out, physically or chemically that you can choose to “let go of” in order to live freer?
I left my home state at 22 years of age because I couldn’t breathe there. Physically, the area I was born and raised in was called, The Chemical Valley. And I was diagnosed and treated with asthma from the time I was six years of age. When I was about eight years old we visited Florida, due to a death of a close family friend, and I found I could BREATHE free and clear for the first time in my life. And I loved the beach and palm trees. I told my dad, “I want to live in Florida”! And my wonderful Dad helped make that a reality for me, though it took many years. Mom only moved because she had to. Mom loved our home state.
We Are ALL Connected and the decisions of others can and do influence, push, or pull us to the degree we ALLOW.
Layers levels doses degrees fractal meme by Spiral Sister
Finding Truth
Have you examined something so intricately that while on the surface looked uninteresting or untrue, but then upon digging further you found hidden truths?
Perhaps finding truth simply means examining the levels of life and layers more closely. I think most people don’t want to work that hard. They don’t want to keep digging to uncover the truth because it might mean they’ll have to change something about themselves or how they live life.
Why do myths persist?
There must be at least some truth to the “old wives’ tales,” no?
We can study life in a matter of degrees; too hot, too cold and too much or little information. ALL of life comes down (can be explained) by working through the layers, levels, doses, and degrees.
The unexamined life is not worth living, right?

A while back I had a conversation with a friend who told me, “Sheila, not everybody thinks the way you do” and I was sort of put off by her saying this. However, a few days later I felt she was paying me a compliment when she offered me that insight. If you would rather listen instead of read, play the audio:
Not everybody thinks the way you do!
As well, my daughter told me her ex-husband didn’t think the way I did (when I’d told her I thought he was keeping my granddaughter away from me to “hurt me.”) He’s a narcissist. And yes, I realize I am labeling him, yet I strongly dislike labels. But he is a classic narcissist and I am not perfect, so there’s that. She felt it was much more likely he didn’t consider me or my feelings at all because all he thinks about is himself. Again, providing me insight that others do not think like me.
Thirdly, my husband has offered me similar insights during our twenty years together. He has told me often to, “quit trying to figure out what others are thinking”! Apparently, he hears me lament about what others may be thinking that motivates them to do or not do certain things. All actions are first motivated by thought, ergo, I often attempt to discern people’s motives.
I live in my head a lot. I think it makes me a good writer, analyst, and detective. As well, it helped me get ahead in my career and feed/house/clothe my children. But I have had to work on squelching the overthinking.
Has anyone ever told you no one thinks like you?
