Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 That Jody has trouble noticing personal self doubt by almost obsessively shifting the focus onto doubting others is fully understandable... The reason for self doubt HAS to be found in others rather than in oneself. It is however the ORIGINAL perpetrator of that doubt around Jody, who has to be discovered. Jody is getting there. I am happy to serve temporarily as the recipient of that doubt, but as you notice I keep steering the focus back... it is not me who needs to be dealt with, it is the original manipulator around Jody who needs to be dispelled. Hi Wim... I'm not defending Jody, as he certainly needs no defense. I will talk to you about how I come up with what you may see as Jody/whoever having doubts about you, when in essence you say it would be our own self-doubting. Neither of those are right. That is a bunch of hogwash. It isn't about doubting at all. It is about knowing. Knowing who you are. When one knows who they are, they know the other automatically. I'm sure you will agree, as you probably know what doubt/self-doubt looks/feels like -- you've experienced it.... so when you see it in another, you know it. That's not what this is about either. It's about knowing. Knowing who you are. We all have had experiences that led us to getting to know ourselves a little bit better. Just like you have, too, I'm sure. We take those experiences and learn from them -- what it is that took us offcenter, out of the heart. I'm not speaking about the word heart/loving/love that we give or don't give. I'm speaking about getting to know ourselves and what it is/was that brought us off this center. Once we understand that, we know ourselves a little bit better than we did before. We won't respond to the same experience the same as we did before. We know (ourselves) better now each time we do this. I don't see Jody getting offcenter, doubting or self-doubting as you say... he's just playing around with you, by his choice. This is what you asked for! For someone to play with you. I do the same at times. If he ever wanted to stop playing with you, he would have because he would know it is taking him offcenter, including being tired of playing around. Just as he said you were not welcome at his home -- the thought of you visiting took him offcenter. He's very clear on that part of himself , too -- has nothing to do with you. Have fun playing if you can get around Gloria. You may have to take it out of the play yard. But then it wouldn't be the play yard, so what's the use. :-) Love, xxxtg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2002 Report Share Posted January 6, 2002 What Jody does, and what Mark did, actually does not fit... and hey, lo and behold, Wim is chastised... That is quite OK with me, I understand that, that happens... And I am so free as to turn that bust into an boon. Geez Wim, would you stop making yourself a victim here? Harsha immediately put a stop to the totally inappropriate Wim/Mark conversation... and it stopped until you brought it up again a while later. As to yours & Jody's, we all chipped in with our thoughts, opinions, and beliefs. We all wanted to play along. Some didn't. Is that not okay to do this, when this is what you asked for? When you become clearer on what it is you are wanting re: play, please let us know. I repeat what you said next... "Sure I am direct and I am in your face... No denying that... Why skating around the issues, beating around the bush, do we have any 'sacred cows' to protect? Just playing, Love, xxxtg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
