So you said something about psychotherapy to someone else... and I wrote something about that, more GIGO. I deleted my post, but now I’d like to share this: at several points in my life psychotherapy really helped move me along. It does depend on the caliber of the therapist, which really cannot be known in advance. I recently watched the “Leaving Neverland” documentary on HBO. I found many parallels to my experience. The documentary was serious, and it did not overly dramatize, or sensationalize, the subject matter. Very well done, in my opinion. Also, there are some so-called non-dual therapists. I’ve been reading some books about this type of therapy, but it’s a bit over my head, as is all of the non-dual stuff I’ve read. I get glimpses sometimes & I know (in my heart?) that I live in a dream world. In this dream world, sometimes things seem to need mending.

Haven't seen the doco but I had friends the other day who said it was very good.

A good therapist in any specialty can be helpful. Usually it's difficult to know who is good and who isn't until it's a little late. Same applies (perhaps more so) to those spiritual teachers who seem to abound just about everywhere.

Buyer beware. Keep your B.S. detector up and running.

Love ya, Jed.

So my last day at work is Friday, and, although unintended, I have a new job interview tomorrow afternoon. Same commute distance, half the hours, over twice the pay. I hope it works out, but, if it doesn’t, I will just remain independently ‘poor’ (relatively speaking).

<snip>

My husband kind of ghosted me for awhile. That was a little difficult, but I had told him to “F*** the f*** off,” so what did I expect?

Thank God I had some Torey Hayden under my belt. She worked with “special needs” children, and she had particular success with elective mutism.

So, I did what she did; I acted normal, and acted as if I expected my husband to speak. He did.

Now if I can just keep my big mouth shut, with him. He doesn’t want to hear my “special” thoughts on any matter.

All my sharing of my special thoughts, I realized today, was just a last ditch effort of my ego to be validated.

Dumb me. He has been here to kill my ego all along. Amen.

Now that I killed my job, I’m struggling with a new opportunity. I had planned for some R&R, but I noticed a job posting with half the hours & over twice the pay (per hour) than the job I just killed.

So, what’s the problem? Well, it entails learning some new things in a realm in which I’m less comfortable. Let’s just say I’m super comfortable in the realm of ideas, and even people, but when it comes to machines & mechanics, no, I am not so comfortable. Sometimes these 2 realms intersect, as in the case of this job opportunity.

This may sound over-dramatic, and it probably is, but I am thinking my situation is like Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane: “Take this cup (job offer, if offered) away from me, but not my will, but your (God’s) will be done.”

Am I abdicating my own responsibility by thinking/saying: it’s up to God; if it’s meant to be, it will happen; if it’s not meant to be, that’s fine too—all the while really thinking I hope they pick someone else for this job?

Fine balance between letting go and putting effort into things like projects. Just remember, in the long run there is no long run. Trust your body, it's smarter that ''you''.

Love ya, Jed.

Thanks, again good advice. I watched a You Tube video demonstrating the exact procedure I would be asked to do on occasion. After the first few minutes of watching I was clear this was not a role I was willing to play. The I Ching had advised me to be frugal and and content. Actually it said, “To be frugal and content is to possess immeasurable wealth within.”

Wow the body. The minute I got to my last day of work and saw 2 ridiculous handouts paced on my desk by my boss, I literally & biologically lost my **** & had to leave and come home.

This time is God-time.
This space is God’s space.
This dream is God’s dream,
In which you and I and God
Are happening.

I know you’d probably have a corrective response to such drivel, but, well, not my will.

Thank you for being here—
My invisible guru.
I can’t see you, or touch you, or feel you, but, well, just thanks.

No corrective response required when you realize it is ALL drivel.
