Spiritual Electricity.. AW

Hi Roselyne & welcome! I'm glad you decided to join us. I find that sharing this helps to keep me on my toes . If I have to report to someone other than ME, I'm more likely to write. Besides, it's fun to share your revelations with other, like minded souls!

Julia Cameron wrote.."Many of us find that we have squandered our own creative energies by investing disproportionately in the lives, hopes, dream, and plans of others. Their lives have obscured and detoured our own.." Thanks for quoting that Roselyne. I believe that birthmoms have a very difficult time with this one.. Probably aparents and adoptees as well.. But boy oh boy I had a hard time being creative when I was worried about my son.. I read Care of the Soul .. Thomas Moore.. What I got from that book was that I had personally cut myself off from my feeling self.. I could not understand the core of me.. I could not go there.. I obsessed on him.. I obsessed on my grief that was unrecognized.. Grief that was not supposed to be because he was still alive.. and heck what did I have to cry for.. others have had much worse happen.. IMO Its so much easier to obsess on something other that what really hurts.. Places a person can not go because its just difficult.. Its a self love thing to me.. Its the ability to start crying and not stop it.. Not going and hiding and making sure a sound was not heard.. Don't want to upset anyone.. Lynda.. I agree painting with emotions is something else.. I can remember doing a bunch of watercolors.. and crying as I worked.. I ended up doing dots.. Tears mixed in.. We can recover from this.. We can become clear and just do what is in ourselves to do.. I am going to start up my pages etc when my business is over.. I have to go to Toronto on the train tomorrow.. So glad you are going to do the AW with us Roselyne.. It seems we are all over the board with it.. :) Ha ha ... no darn rules.. I hate the stinking rules.. Jackie

Hi there,

Thanks for your responses.

I am an adoptee and have great difficulty also. I have all my life.

I took the book off the shelf now lets see how long it takes me to really actually go through the exercises. Spending too much of my time obsessing on my latest relationship. I thought I was past this. Yes, indeed it is alot easier to go the route of obssessing on others than dealing with our own stuff.

Vein of Gold. I don't know about this one. Is it a book for birth mothers?

Another book that I haven't read through but I think has a great message is The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

Now re: Rules.

What are they? Is this thread crossing bounderies I don't know about? I am definately extreme in my travels of crossing the bounderies trail.

My birth mother is French and I found her almost ten years ago. Boy did that open up a can of worms. When I returned from my trip I started going to meetings- Alma,Triad and Pacer meetings.

Went through so many valid emotions. I can say this now. Our feelings are VALID and we need to recognize this ourselves. The triad circle is a powerful one and we are right in the middle of it. Thank god I found this forum. I am glad there are so many reaching out.

There are a lot of people who just don't get it.
