Barbecuing the Ego

A student of the WARRIOR’S JOURNEY re-reading the syllabus wrote:

“Reading this after taking on the Warriors’s Journey three and a half months ago shows me that where I thought I was not strongly connected to and using my three centers, I am. There’s a deep trust growing in my moving center. I dreamed this morning of speaking up when someone touched me inappropriately and telling him the wrongness of his action again when he tried to play the victim. It felt powerful. I remembered enough of the dream to record it, so I did record it. What a great confirmation of effectiveness of the work I have been doing and continue to do.”

While the initial investment is only ten days, the work lasts a lifetime. In the first ten days, we can lay down a foundation of understanding of the path. I do not know how far you have to travel to be in the territory you seek, so YOU must be honest with yourself about how much work there is to be done. With some, just listening to the right story can trigger an epiphany, and clarity.

With others, it will take months of meditation, movement, experimentation, healing, self-forgiveness and centering. If serious abuse has been a part of your childhood, therapy is SERIOUSLY advised, and please share the materials with your therapist. I believe that you have everything you need to complete yourself as a human being. That you can accomplish any goal you can hold continuously in your heart, so long as you let go of how it is supposed to look.
