This last week we cancelled the Divining Your Truth Book Tour and Workshop in California and Utah. The remainder of the nation stays scheduled for fall. We’re willing to reschedule the west coast when we know that enough people will register to make the trip pay for itself.
As I am refunding enrollment fees to those who did enroll, I also sent out a group email asking people what they wanted since we are not coming their way. The responses ranged among:
Relief from personal health issues
A pointed question about why I hadn’t emailed people personally if I wanted an opinion
A desire to remove the word “responsibility” from the English language
Thoughts on how much I had charged for the workshop (though the person admitted not having looked at the material and didn’t know how much I was charging)
Skepticism regarding how my book could make us closer to each other since it talks about relying on oneself as God
A few helpful hints about people taking the time to read the book to understand it
I thanked everyone for their reflections back to me and mused over the responses.
I have come to the following conclusion: The confusion that is prevalent in the human race has the capacity to run the show if one lets it do so. Being simple, clear and concise has lost meaning for the human mind because it’s too frightening.
I arrived at this set of thoughts by realizing that human beings are no longer being encouraged to be self-sufficient. The idea of being responsible (which breaks down to how you respond to anything) is now given over to others to manage. Rather than people wanting to be “responsible” for accessing their own information within their Divine Mind, they would rather give it over to others since they don’t trust themselves.
My question now remains: Who is going to teach trust in oneself except the person him or herself?

Hi Toni,
Yes, I totally agree with your analysis with regard to ones being able to except responsibility for their own spiritual wellbeing from which enlightenment follows. Thank You for your understanding and encouragement.

Paul, for those who believe “responsibility” is a dirty word, it is good to look at its root: the ability to respond!

I feel sad about your need to cancel a portion of your book tour as I feel deeply about the benefits of your teachings…and wish for many to have this benefit. My take on this and other matters of a similar nature is that there is a huge battle underway of forces that would like humans to give their power up, and forces that recognize that to return to our wholeness, we must claim our power. Whether these forces are perceived to come from inside of us or outside of us, they are powerful. We are at a significant choice point in human existence…of recognizing who we truly are or not. Your book and book tour come out with a message of claiming our true selves, in an environment that wants this message and yet with humans who will fight this message. Is this about responsability? Or is this about something else?

Birgitt, I understand what you are saying and my response is that all I know is that all is always perfect whether humanity sees it that way or not. The I AM is in the constant state of experience in this dimension. Since all is the I AM my only feeling is one of being with the flow of the experience.

Although I am sad to not take your workshop what you say is very true and I have my own story on that. I recently talked to a person who expressed a vision she had seen about the new changes that are taken place. She described this vision as being so beautiful I admit I was a little jealous I had not seen it. About a week later while sitting in a dreamy state I too had a vision of our ” new world”. Although the colors I saw were different from what the other person saw the beauty and feelings were the same. My moral, yes we can all get there on our own.
In love, Kristin
