Open,

Your words were very powerful and resonated with me. I think I still have a ways to go before I can face that "raptor energy" head on without becoming angry and wanting to react negatively myself. I try hard to live the "I am this" and "you are that" when I see hatred and violence,especially when there is a history of that same hatred and violence in this country. However, sometimes I want to be with the rest of the revolutionaries and be in the actual fight for justice. My son has had to talk me out of traveling to N. Dakota to protest the Pipeline for fear I'd get arrested. Because of his concerns, I did not go, but I was certainly planning on it. I find it hard to sit on the fence while others are actually doing something to fight against tyranny. I'm learning to become that "observer" of others and my own reaction to them, but sometimes controlling the reaction (especially that instantaneous, "I want to kick your ass" reaction) can be hard at times. I'm much better than I use to be. I'm in my 60's, so old habits are difficult to change. I'm working on it. I am absolutely NOT a violent person and truly abhor it. I guess I wish everyone was loving and kind to each other, but it just "rips me a new one" when I see what's going on in today's world.

I certainly appreciate what you are accomplishing with your website, books, seminars, etc. I'm reading Breakthrough with a lot of interest. I'm here to learn and appreciate the work you are doing. I hope to meet you one day! Thank you for this forum.
