Oh, ok. Got it!

Funny you say this b/c when I started working there, I noticed he'd do things I used to do and I'd catch myself thinking, "Ugh! What's wrong with him!?" But then a little voice (<-well, not really...but you know what I mean. Lol) would say, "You used to do the same thing...and people thought the same thing about you." Lol.

As creatures of habit, we react automatically based on these sprouts...but when you practice intentional action, study how you react and transform your reaction. Easier said than done but Life gives us lots of practice!

I'll check out your website. Thanks!

ArtisticAthlete - I think we often cannot face and accept aspects and behaviors about ourselves because we're just lacking in introspection. But when we keep meeting people on our life paths that mirror our true selves we are forced to take a real serious look at ourselves and ask ourselves questions about just who we are, who we've become. I've met several people along the way that have mirrored myself over and over until I finally accepted what they were mirroring to me. Then those types of people stopped coming into my life. That's the lesson - self knowledge and self acceptance!

I'm just glad to have found this site. I haven't been "meeting" anyone I feel comfortable discussing these matters with.

It's the same idea as dreaming - the dream world is what you create with your mind. In the waking state, we just live in a bigger dream, one where all the different parts of ourselves are dreaming - so we're creating a big dream together. It's just that when you physically go to sleep and dream, you become aware of this process. In the gross physical world it has become solidified and appears as real. What you are attracted to or repelled by, you will draw toward yourself because that part of you wants to go out and be expressed. Once you learn how to react in the best way, a way that creates harmony and oneness, your awareness will change and everything around you will change as you move on to the next dream "story"...

You can experiment with this, play with this and learn to be a master player of this virtual reality game called Life. Ask your higher power for guidance about something and notice, really notice (be mindful in the moment every moment) what comes to you from the world outside of you and what comes up from within you. Soon you will discover patterns. This week the teaching is about X, next week it's about Y...... That's when you come into your own power. That is a big step in self realization.

What do you think?

Just wanted to say this is an awesome post, Uma.. :)

And, Rosewater I agree!
