After the March Indonesian trip of Emil I am aware of a certain degree of self-mastery in my life. After our April-May trip to Singapore I am certain that I am connected with God. (not the angry God of the Bible) After the 5th anniversary of my 2012 stroke I see clearly my purpose for choosing to enter this life equipped with all the god given gifts to met all challenges. After weeks of reviewing “Urban Shaman” I am sure the best place for me is our condo in Vito Cruz.
No need to move to Hawaii nor to Singapore. Not even to London nor to Sydney.
I believe the best place for me for working against 3 basic assumptions mentioned in “Urban Shaman” is our condo. I like our unit where I have everything I need: my plants; my laptop with my music, Facebook, my website, google etc. my books. Food is delivered. Laundry is picked up/delivered.
Needless to say our unit is the best place for me because Emil lives here with me. The whole security force of Grand Towers also the maintenance people are my family.
The assumptions that cause problems even grief according to Serge Kahili King are:
1. that you know what another person is thinking
2. that other people know or should know what you are thinking
3. the rule of generalization.
I also believe what Dr Page wrote:
“My only responsibility is to create a loving environment which allows others to resonate with their inner truth.”
Gill Edwards and Mike Dooley have their versions which I wrote about in previous essays.
