We truly are living parallel lives!!


amazing, that is funny - sci fi stuff, we're connected through The Matrix. My oldest son sees all these WAW's going on and thinks its part of everything breaking down before 12 21 2012.


I sure hope your son realizes that is NOT the case, AND the serious philosophers of today, believe the Mayans never meant for their calendars to be "causative"...they're just calendars in effect...

plus, I hope your son believes HE controls his future and his destiny. Of course he'll reflect what YOU project, right?


Show him

WE are all the authors of our lives. WE write the chapters of our books... and his life and destiny is within HIS EXCLUSIVE control, just like YOURS is...

and speaking of detachment...as interesting and fun as it may be to discuss dreams and their potential implications,

it does seem to contradict the very essence of detachment.

I mean are we Now to read into THEIR dreams?

How about what WE are DOING IN OUR LIVES???

And for one last piece on detachment that I think you've already seen (there are MANY good ones around this site so read on....)

but here is the one piece on DETACHMENT that I thought of today...

============
II. Detachment

Detachment is critical to the process of altering and repairing a relationship.


Attached, we take personally all that is said, not said, done and not done. Our ego gets wounded and we are more inclined to those actions that will undermine our very best chances of accomplishing our goals.


We can not control the actions of another. We are, however, responsible for our own actions. We are responsible for our own happiness. If we are detached from the actions of another, we can meet anger or indifference with love. Met with love we are in a position to diffuse the situation and transform it in a way that will be in alignment with our goals.

On the flipside, detachment allows us to play it cool when we do get a positive reaction from our spouse. It is a way to break the distance/pursuer cycle.

Detachment is not withdrawal. It is not the mind saying, ‘I am not getting what I want so I must pull back.’ It is the natural acceptance that I am alone responsible for how I act. I can not control another person, but I can control how I respond to them."

Guess I mean, let's not spend a lot of energy on mind reading them OR dream reading...

back to YOU!!! How are those GAL?? And the 180s?

We say this for a reason. Keeps your mind off the WAS and helps detach

and that makes you happier and busier and more attractive so you are MORE likely to win the spouse back

with GAL and 180s.....regardless

you are better off either way b/c if the spouse does NOT return and you have gotten a life and done your 180s and become the best catch you can...

you are better off that much faster anyhow....and you will be happier that much faster, period.


Good luck, stay on track and stay on message....


Rick said - Thanks 25. I do get that analyzing my W's dreams is not in any way a detachment. I knew that as I typed the post. I was thinking after your response that if I was truly fully detached, I wouldn't be posting anything about my M sitch because I would be completely detached, but would only be here trying to help everyone else. Got to run now but will give your past some more thought.
