for brenda over the past 13 years in general and in the past 6 years in particular i have looked on pd among a few other 'major life adjustments' at the time as a wake-up call it was a smack upside the head an enforced re-sorting of priorities grace grabbin me by the shoulders and sayin 'stop!' or 'just stop and think!' i, the ultimate spiritual cynic, have also gone through a spiritual awakening and/or rebirth - reinforced by what i can only describe as a revelation - i think i now know why i'm here - and i think we are all here for the same key reason in re 'respect' aka 'love' no one of us has to earn it we already have it no questions asked unshakeable unstoppable unqualified no ifs ands or buts (but here's a but) but we have taught ourselves we don't 'deserve' it we have told ourselves we are lousy 'sinners' we have dwelt on our own and, even more fascinating, others' 'guilt' we blind ourselves to what's sitting smack in front of us if that's not a cognitive distortion i don't know what is! we are not here for judging each other we are here to learn our own unigue lessons at our own pace ( = free choice) we cannot sin it doesn't exist we can only err and all errors can be lovingly corrected we are here to learn to love each other as ourselves so simple sounding but so fraught with self-created difficulties and obstacles we are not limited to our bodies we are greater than them pd is not you you are not 'degenerating' you are not being 'lost' the only thing being 'lost' is your idea of what you thought you were supposed to be you are losing your dreamworld rise 'n' shine! janet janet paterson: an akinetic rigid subtype, albeit perky, parky . pd: 54/41/37 cd: 54/44/43 tel: 613 256 8340 email: [log in to unmask] . a new voice: the nnnewsletter: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/janet313/ . a new voice: the bbbook: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/wordbook/ . a new voice: the wwweb site: http://www.geocities.com/janet313/ . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
