Re: Ketogenic Diet - Path To Transformation?
I absolutely understand, and appreciate what you are saying. And I am acting on your advice.
Like those others mentioned, I have always jumped into everything. In certain situations in the distant past I think it probably helped me e.g. going into a religion, gaining fanatical adherent or evangelic status, then seeing the illusion crumble before me, and getting out. To me that's like rushing into a negative building through the front door, searching every room so there can be no mistake, then rushing straight out the back door, never to return. If perhaps I had lingered in the lobby,enjoying the pictures on the wall, or sat down in the dining room for a meal, I might have stayed in the house too long - long enough for the less desirable forces to anchor themselves in me.
That sounded, to me, like a really effective metaphor until I typed it :/
It has always been about running out of time for me. Now I don't feel the need to rush so much.
I can't recall exactly what book in The Wave series it is, and I apologise if my paraphrase isn't as accurate as it might be, but Ark expressed concern over whether him and Laura would have enough time to fulfill their mission. Should they move the transmission location etc. The Cs answer, how I interpreted it, was to say that if you want to complete the mission then you will have plenty of time to do so. In other words forget about time, just let it unfold.
That spoke to me. That's why I have stopped reading the KD thread, have started reading the LWB thread, and will return to KD after LWB. I've also bought the LWB, and Primal Mind ... books. It will all take me weeks, if not months, but I would be a fool not to take that route.
I haven't exactly mastered the fear of running out of time - far from it - but I am able to listen to you all and act on your advice. I am helped to do that by the fact that clearly you live by example. That's easy to see in what you all say, and how you say it, in your posts.
I appreciate this.
