Dear anxiousangel:

You wrote: “we do need to make a mark in this world, stand out and be counted as significant.” I disagree. We need to survive, make a living. We don’t need to make a mark in the world or to stand out. And this is my point which I wrote to you at the beginning of my last post to you: in your original home, as a young boy, you were not made to feel worthy, valuable. This is why you look for that feeling so desperately.

As a young boy you were already worthy and valuable and you knew it then. Then it was taken away from you. And you started looking for it in a future point when your potential as a worthy individual will materialize in the form of social status, recognition, praise, power and money.

The point of “spirituality” is to go back in time and realize that you were born valuable and worthy, loving and lovable.

And then, choosing a job or a career and everything else is not infused with the search for that inherent value and worth that you already possess.

Please separate the two: inherent worth and making a living, two different things. Once these are separate in your mind, life would be easier, because in reality, these things are separate and when our thinking and feeling is aligned with reality, we do well.

Marketing vs the product. I didn’t think it through when I first introduced the concept to you. As I wrote to you, my thinking about your sharing developed over time. The product, you, is inherently worthy, valuable, loving and lovable. No need to sell it. Just BE it.

As far as making a living, a product can be any practical skill and hard work, perseverance, time, patience is required to develop many skills. This is for the purpose of making a living.

As far as judging you: I have lied to people too. I also hurt other people, used other people- I am not superior to you, Angel. I no longer do these things, and healing is an ongoing process. It is all about progress, not perfection. Let’s continue to correspond.
