In my effort to educate my many fears I came across several insightful statements from my book Urban Shaman. I read about two kinds of interpretations: evaluation and analysis. I consider this helpful because I’m still trying to silence my monkey mind.

Way back in college I did a lot of analysis of literary pieces as an English major. Now I realize I wasn’t doing analysis but evaluation. No wonder I have been anxious. I was constantly passing judgments on people and events whether they were good or bad. And to think that till I was older than 60 years old I was still doing my school routine of nightly examination of conscience. You can imagine what this does to a judgmental ISTJ personality.

Fortunately The Energy Prescription book says: “Our human personality is not our true nature. Spirit is our true nature, and sometimes the old needs to die so that the new can be reborn.”
