Does meditation get you there? Is that where we store the part of us that is the worst of us? Bury it deep so no one will notice? It's scary that something can be guiding you or impacting you silently 24/7. Isn't it? Another thing to worry about or naught? Do you ever wonder too what there is deep within you?

That's how we avoid unpleasant. SIGH. So how often do YOU get fooled by people? How often do you show up expecting pleasant and receiving un? Does the opposite ever occur?

It was innocuous enough I guess and other women might not take offense. I did.One day a Vice President told me "you look very pretty today". I told him that comment made me feel uncomfortable. He apologized. He never made me pay for it in any way. He was always very kind and polite and he didn't change in his demeanor toward me whatsoever. I wasn't comfy having my appearance discussed by a superior. Talk about my work. Fine. Not about anything personal. That's just me. I speak up so there is no doubt about how I feel or what I think. Do you? How long does it take for you to muster up the courage? less

Those who fear wish to silence that which they fear always and forever. What is it they fear EXACTLY? Could it be TRUTH that terrifies them so?

There is a script written by smarter others by which the responders guide their defensive offenses or offensive defenses. Uniform conformity is the ruse they use to confuse. No originality. No profound intelligence. Just read the dam* script verbatim is all that is required of them. The authors will not allow you to go off script. Only the bad do that. Now ya know. Mystery solved. SHEESH. Boring repetition. Are you a fan? less

Except the RIME is imagination. NOW isn't. Odd how prescient imagination can be almost two hundred years before it manifests itself in reality. Isn't it? less
