Dear Shipp:

In your last post you wrote: ” I don’t really like who I am. I want to be someone other than who I am… I just don’t know who that someone is.”

To get to know yourself, you have to examine everything that needs to be examined and not brush off what feels uncomfortable. This is the reason why most people get off that path, the healing path, as I call it. They feel distressed, don’t want to feel distressed and … off the path they are.

At this point of our communication, I realize, this may very well be happening. I will explain: we have a disagreement, but it is not a minor disagreement like I prefer the color green and you prefer red. It is a major disagreement (as far as healing paths go). If you and I were co workers, then yes, we will agree to disagree and attend to our work as employees. If we were neighbors, we will agree to disagree and attend to our responsibility to be civil to each other as neighbors. But we are not neighbors.

If you want to attend to our disagreement, do let me know. There will be much to learn from it- I will and you will. It will be a Win-Win experience for you and me if we both examine this. Let me know if you are interested in doing that.
