Thank you Open for your response. This speaks to me - on every level. There is so much out there that is directed at the mind and "learning" and it feels exactly as you say - forced!

I couldn't accept that reaching higher consciousness meant that somehow my children may be at risk of entities or psychic attack. When I withdrew from the course, the psychic told me that it was because I was overwhelmed by fear. There is definitely fear in me, but there is also something more - a belief that surely growth and development does not come at the cost and risk to those I love.

I have trouble letting the mind back off - I have been a lawyer for over 15 years … so I am trying desperately to untrain myself. I read in your bio that Chris was scientist previously, how did you manage to stop your cognitive/rational side from trying to take over all the time? This is one of my biggest obstacles!

Thank you for providing this forum, this information, and the support available to people around the world. Feeling grateful and supported.
