This one hit home.

Insight #11: The job of my anger is to keep me from being sad.
Wait. All this anger is covering up a ton of sadness and loss.
I’m trying to get underneath it now, all the knee-jerk pissed offness and frustration. I’m trying to understand it better. I have numbed out and turned away from so much, and then so much more that I didn’t even realize I was turning away from that (like you said) I have built these patterns. Patterns that are no fun. Patterns that aren’t even necessarily a reflection of the truth.
It’s such a relief now…even if I’m groping a bit blindly….I know I am getting somewhere just in the stopping…and the noticing.
Thanks Havi.

I like #9. I find that there are a lot of mean people in our world and I’m totally on board with the whole “mean people suck” mentality. However, I also know that when I take the time to understand said mean people, they aren’t necessarily all mean. Sometimes they are kind, it’s just that they’re angry at the world for being mean, too. I try to remind myself of that and look for kindness wherever I can find it. There really are kind people out there.

Dear Havi,

Thank you!

Earlier this evening I had done a bit of Shivanata, but nothing big came up, just a few tiny little things–and then I read your post, and just reading your list of eleven and a half insights actually triggered a big epiphany of my own! The epiphany: I belong! (May the rest of you have this feeling in your lives, too!)

Hey

Wow.

I’ve been dreaming of and holding my gentle, resonant, yin, Venusian baby Thing (not the new Thing, the kind-of-secret Thing).

Your insights give me permission and quiet whispering encouragement.

And break my heart, a little.

Thanks, honey.

Havi,

As always, you are a loving, caring and kind genius!

This came in exactly when I needed it. I’m wallowing in all the pain of letting go of the perception of the pattern, and trying to trust that whatever comes after this will be worth it. Kind of stuck in the scary, numb, angry, sad pattern… But I’m starting to trust in the process.

This part really resonated:

“Because the thing you want (whatever that is or means for you) may not happen overnight, but getting ready to feel comfortable about getting there can happen more quickly than you’d think.”

In my head, I know it will happen.. It’ll just be a while before the insights translate to the rest of me. And there’s a certain beauty in that.

Much thanks and love!

I like the last half insight. I think that is what I am coming to, now. I’m not sure if I’m ready to commit, but I think maybe I have to if I want something to happen. But it’s scary, for sure. What with all the monsters and whatnot.
