How did your daughter's wedding go? I love how you shared about your process with planning the wedding and that you had human hurt feelings, but found the key that released you and your daughter from those old patterns.
I've been thinking about the best way to move forward with friends and colleagues who shunned me for not getting the vaccine. I tend to take it personally. But I know on some level that it isn't personal - it's about their fears. How can we trust that the world won't just repeat these patterns unless there is some kind of reckoning? And further, do I need to ask for a reckoning with friends? Or does a reckoning need to happen only at the political level? I have started the reckoning conversations with my husband, who never shunned me, but he always believed I was making a choice and had to accept the consequences of my choice. Now I want him to get how painful it was to be shunned and shut out, even though it was a choice, and I'd really love for him to view my exclusions as unfair and unjust. Thoughts? I look forward to hearing how you are processing around the request for amnesty from some pro vaccine thought leaders.
Suggestions regarding Acim daily lessons - Carol Howe’s you-tubes on each are fantastic. I would also recommend pathways of light - their discussion of each lesson were posted 10 years ago, but seem to have been written by different individuals about their reflection on that day’s lesson.
Since you have done them many times, consider pairing your reading w Brent Haskell’s Journey Without Words. One chapter per week of lessons - it really helped me internalize the ideas
Another interesting and insightful post. And again I was interrupted, when I came back you were talking about living in the moment, and not dragging your history/projections into the moment and the third agreement.
Example: When you’re in college and somebody asks you out for pizza it’s about being hungry. When you’re 50, single, and somebody asks you out for pizza it comes with Past break ups or arguments in pizza parlors, and every other emotionally intense event you carry associated with pizzas.

Not all hierarchies are patriarchal.
Often times, for example, families are matriarchal hierarchies. Of course the secondary issue may that many matriarchies themselves are patriarchal in structure. (My childhood family certainly was.)
Is the question deeper, looking at the nature of vertical structures versus flat structures? Is it about respect within a hierarchy, what Peterson calls voluntary mutual reciprocity?
I'm writing about that right now as it applies to Obedience to Authority, Mass Formation and Woke. So interesting.
Thank you. All the best with the wedding ritual. A huge life transition for everyone.

As easily as changing one’s mind. Yes! Which turns out not to be so easy.. doing lots of work on this currently. It’s a journey!

Nice poem!

Blessings upon the marriage of Veronica and James. And thank you for your wisdom.
