Your podcast has given me even more insight into what was a frustrating two-year situation I had with my neighbours in what I'd dubbed "a reenactment of the Boer War." All the attributes were there, down to our respective archetypes and lineage nationalities being the most obvious clues. And me, for no real reason, having the upper hand in the situation (as the English did over the farmers at the time) when the neighbour's landlord turned up on my doorstep out of the blue for a completely unrelated matter (first time we'd met), which put a stop to some of it, not all. But, by the time I had deep insight, that this was simply a pattern on replay, and was not personal, I no longer had energy left to put into these over-the-fence battles anyway - theirs for the freedom to thrash late night music near my bedroom and burn smoky BBQs that flooded my place with smoke and mine for the right to breathe in peace - so I decided I was done, whatever the outcome. Though I have the power to take the problem further, I won't. I hope this action (or inaction in the opposite direction) has cleared whatever was trying to heal. Thanks for your more in-depth insight. It really is fascinating.
Wow, chills! These are powerful insights and I love that you're putting it into practice by making new choices to end the ancestral war. Could also be really powerful to tune into your ancestry from the time of the Boer War and ask what's the best thing you can do for them now. Maybe there are additional layers of emotional catharsis or other themes that come up, and by processing those internally, it might soften the rebellion energy coming from next door. Thank you for sharing that!
Thank you for your perspective and personal story. It made me reflect deeply on the stories I hold dear and my purpose in this world. . Right now I'm building both watchtower and lighthouse. I will give it another year of observation and discernment before I let go of the watchtower. Meanwhile I continue to steward the land and remain a lighthouse for others.. My favorite civilization ever, which I deeply resonate with are the Minoans, the discovers of olive oil and the inventors of wine. What a way to make friends. After 7000 years of living in peace, never building an army, sharing their plentitude with the world, without any defense, they were obliterated by the Spartans who took possession of their means of production. I feel that Crete is part of my ancestors' lineage.
Hi Meredith, funny how E.A.T. Brought up a narcissist. I go to a dog park with pleasant sheeple. One was there a few months ago when my pup was then 7 months old. Her dog attacked Remy at the jugular and I grabbed it and growled like only a momma bear can. The dog attacked again and I grabbed the collar away from Remy’s harm once more. There was no remorse, no sorrow from the woman. It was somehow Remy’s fault. She did not leash her dog and leave, instead, Remy went to the nearest bench she could find to protect herself and the woman said, “don’t get under me!” It was that behavior I started realizing she is a professional victim. On a few more encounters, I tried and talk with her about how we could resolve this. She countered back by shaming me in guilt, all the while the victim. In the beginning, I was so confused, then realized she had no intention of helping to midigate this problem. Then a few nights ago, her dog showed all signs of aggression toward me, haunches raised, direct eye contact curled lip and plenty of teeth. It eyed my hand like a ham shank. I made my way back to the “safety zone”, and the dog repeated its aggressive behavior. I said, “get your fucking dog away from me.” On cue, she stood up, not to grab her dog, but to upstage me and guilt me into my behavior. Instead of being lured in, Remy and I left. Victims have no remorse and saying what I see with no sugar coating does not help. Hopefully a few people at the dog park will see what I saw, we will see. It is no longer a sweet and safe zone when she comes around, but just like co vid, these people seem duped by her cunning.
Other than that, I have a long lineage of being on this land before the whites came. I am related to George Washington’s most trusted general, as well as frontiersmen, trackers, WW1 and WW2 vet musicians and actors. I have always felt them in my bones. My belief was that not only was I a medicine man, but an excellent tracker I. Knowing where we were in the land, a gift from both my parents. This is a very deep and provocative message you gave us, but it is time to take Remy for a walk. Thank you
Thank you for translating this game of life and giving us your true reflection of what you observe. I pretend often that I am an alien here, just observing and playing the game of creating my reality, shaping my thoughts, my emotions and my reactions to the life I am living now. I live in the present pleasantness of being me, myself and I ... and I thank you for showing the way! I followed you in 2016 at the time of discovering the narcissist I'd married, and the grip of his entanglement fell away, I am myself, and found the love I am in 2019 ... and we are so very living the life I'd imagined it can be. Sending you love!
Me alegra que te inspire el nuevo material del podcast porque me da mucho gusto crearlo. Sí es verdad que I’ve picked up sounds and resonance from places I’ve lived for a while… a bit of Philadelphia, a bit of Texas, and probably still a little bit of California too.

Love this, Meredith. Thank you, I'll do that.

En este mundo a punto de irse al basurero. Existen muy pocas positivas como este material. Muchas gracias. By the way, you have
a light texan accent.
