Hi Wendy! I continue to love your emails and hope that the winds of change keep you involved in writing. AND I recognize that I can receive your wisdom in other ways if Substack isn't the way forward for you.

Hi Wendy! I continue to love your emails and hope that the winds of change keep you involved in writing. AND I recognize that I can receive your wisdom in other ways if Substack isn't the way forward for you.
"Wherever you fear the victory of this or the demise of that. Wherever you defend — whether it’s a point of view or a pool of resources. Wherever you promote some cause or strive towards some end. These are the places where the hooks can grab us."
I love this, and am challenged by it! So hard to surrender those places where I strive towards a goal/end!! And a reminder to keep at it! It's worth surrendering my ego and attachment if only to stay away from getting hooked into manipulation!
I've recently found inspiration from Niki Syke and her Ascension Portal. https://nikiskye.com/
Her 7 videos are packed with free information. I found it all extremely helpful, for answering some questions, for bringing new concepts to me, for understanding culture wars, ego, karma, and healing. Just now in reading this article I thought of video 4 and the culture wars. Niki introduced me to the concept of Spiral Dynamics from Ken Wilbur - maybe you're already familiar with this? Anyways, this was such a sigh of relief to understand more about what's happening in the culture wars through the Spiral Dynamics lens.
If I remember correctly, video 5 is about the ego.
Best wishes for your continued ego surrender, and discernment for what's opening next.
Thank you for this reflection Marta, I really appreciate your feedback. And yes Ken Wilbur is a classic! Love that work and so happy that it has found its way to you.
Wishing you well in your ongoing process as well. It seems to be a never ending dance, surrendering to the higher or larger or broader? forces in play, but without giving up and opting out completely
