Chapter 102.

In search of soul truth

Jeroen and Marianne were visiting Eric and Ellen. Jeroen and Eric did often meet as friends, and both ladies had pleasure in joining them. They noticed that it made the four of them stronger, both in their personal lives, in their relationships, and also in their work. They felt increasingly confident about the things they were doing and enjoyed them more as a result.

"Incredibly, it's been almost a year, all those tribunals. So many rich and powerful world rulers condemned. Remember, Jeroen, how we cheered again at every condemned one! It felt like the rotting scabs of the world broke off and disappeared into thin air."

"Yeah, a special time it was. Exciting too, but in looking back, mostly special and beautiful. And then now, almost a year on, we're all still hard at work rebuilding."

"The rot is just that we are still very much stuck in those old systems. Not much has changed in healthcare, still a lot of methods and resources are being used that I question, to say the least."

"And all this poverty... it sometimes feels so hopeless. When you then look back to years ago, there was some poverty then too, but it was very small-scale. Now there are so terrible numbers of people who need benefits, and they get them, but they can't make ends meet at all because of all these high prices. Debt relief companies just can't handle the work!"

"I am very glad, though, that most of those foreign rioters were sent back or captured. What a grim situation that was, that in many places you couldn't actually go out on the streets alone, and even with small groups it was hardly safe."

"It was just in time hey, that they were sent back. All those plans that people had to take them into their homes. That would have become a real disaster!"

"You can count on that! It is nice that a lot has already been changed, but indeed there is also a lot still stuck. When you hear those reports from the new government, those recordings of their debates... These politicians generally don't really feel how to lift the country out of the muck. Well of course that is also immense, I mean, things have actually gone wrong on all fronts. And from the population there is so much distrust. It all plays against each other."

"I've been thinking about it," Marianne said. "Basically, we expect everything from the politicians, and together we still make them a giant deity. We as citizens make ourselves completely dependent on them, we have actually done that in the past, and to some extent we are still stuck in that. We expect them to put things back on track, but we actually need everyone in that, don't you think?"

Ellen nodded: "It would be best if people, whatever profession they have, could sense for themselves whether they are in the right place, whether they actually want to do this work or whether they would rather take up something else. And if they have a job, whether they are doing their work in the best way, in a way that suits them, or whether they are stuck in a stuck pattern."

Jeroen nodded: "As we, Eric and I, broke free from our old working atmosphere. Just about everything was prescribed there. It was pre-written to us as journalists what we had to pass on. It wasn't actually journalism at all, it was more like a dictation variant, disgusting! I'm glad I met you, Eric, that you helped me find a new path."

"I regularly read messages on Twitter from colleagues, former colleagues, that they are also starting to get the hang of it," Eric noted. "There are more, who are looking for other opportunities. They are trying within their current employment, but a few have already got out, who are going to look for something else, something totally different or another job within journalism."

Ellen smiled, "Maybe soon you will have new colleagues, people who will come and ask you if they can help you."

"On the one hand, that would be nice, but on the other hand, we have to be very sure that they are willing and able to listen to their insides, otherwise we will go off from the shore to the ditch," Jeroen thought.

"Do you think people who don't work from their souls would want to join us?" wondered Eric. "I doubt it, but if they do try, I suppose our intuition will warn us!"

"I think so too," thought Ellen.

.

Jeroen and Eric searched further, for truth, for what was right for their country. They looked for the old ways and strategies that they intuitively felt did not work, had never actually worked. Old ways through which the building of the country was hardly getting off the ground, if at all.

They felt stronger than ever, were bracing for opportunities. They noticed that they were no longer, as in the past, looking for mistakes, for crimes against humanity. They were looking for how things were and how they could be different, better. They talked about it in interviews, posted their videos on their site, while Jeroen wrote short, powerful articles, laced with humour, on all kinds of topics.

The fact that they had both found their soulmate certainly contributed to their sense of power and confidence. That their partners stood behind them, not only with their opinions, their ideas, but especially with their soul power, meant a lot to them. They experienced them as an actual backing, a power they needed to move forward. It also worked the other way round, so that Marianne and Ellen also became stronger in who they were and what they did at work.

Jeroen and Eric were grateful for all the response they received to their articles and video recordings. They had given on their site the opportunity to respond. Not under their work, but via email, so that people would not start responding to each other. Most of the responses showed, that people were happy with their work, that their work was appreciated and therefore they felt supported to continue.

Several visitors to their site regularly donated gifts. At the moment, they did not receive enough donations to live from it themselves, but at least they could pay the expenses of their work with it. An additional advantage of their relationships with Marianne and Ellen was that through them they received enough money to pay their personal expenses. They didn't get rich from it, but they were able to live easily.

.

The residents of Bloemenhof had also discovered Jeroen and Eric's site through posts by Ellen and Marianne on social media. They had immediately started following them. They enjoyed their fresh approach and, above all, the great ideas they came up with.

They themselves were not at all used to dealing with political issues and such things, but these men delivered the news in such a pleasant way that they enjoyed reading their articles and watching their videos. Back and forth, they shared what they had read and watched, and were happy that Marianne and Ellen had found such wonderful men as soulmates. They experienced not only that the news they brought was good and refreshing, but also that there was power in it.

.

Other journalists and cameramen also followed Jeroen and Eric's work. Several of them came to an understanding because of it. For them, Jeroen and Eric's work was just that final touch they needed to let go of the old.

They were mostly people who had noticed that the way they had had to work so far did not suit them at all. They longed for authenticity in their lives, and also for authenticity in their work. More and more of these people followed the voice of their hearts and quit their jobs. They looked for other opportunities, sometimes completely different work, and several of them joined Jeroen and Eric.

That meant, of course, that they needed more work space. For this, they contacted Karel, who knew of a property in the neighbourhood that would need major refurbishment, but would be perfectly suited in terms of layout. Unfortunately, finances were too much of an obstacle here. Of course, they could take out a mortgage, but the monthly charges would be far too high. Not feasible therefore, they would have to look further. It wriggled in their insides because they felt, felt with certainty, that they had to buy this property.

They put an appeal on their site, told that they needed a bigger workspace and honestly shared the financial side of the story.

Sjaak was the first at Bloemenhof to read this, and felt a certain excitement inside. He called Lisa over, letting her read the appeal. Tears welled up in her eyes: "Bingo! What do we have left in the account? Almost everything from the entire inheritance I think, because Huib has already paid back that property in full. Is it true for you too, that we may help them with an interest-free loan?"

"Definitely, that was the reason I called you in," Sjaak replied with a happy smile on his face. "Shall I give Karel a call to see if he doesn't know something?"

Lisa nodded. A moment later, Sjaak explained to Karel what he was calling for. "Don't you have sight of a suitable building in the area?"

"Yes I do," Karel said, "and I'm also sure that building is meant for them. The tricky thing is, it needs quite a bit of refurbishment. And even trickier is that it's not financially viable. That's why they passed it up, but they did confirm that they also both felt very strongly that that building was for them. So they experienced the same as I did. I decided to hold the building for them, and wait to see if there would be any response to their call. And honestly, my first thoughts went to you guys. I think that's so cool huh, they've only just put that appeal on the site, and you call. And it's immediately clear that it's not just for fun!"

Sjaak laughed: "True, you know us too well for that! And yes, we can help them with an interest-free loan, without any repayment pressure. If they get enough money donated, they can repay, and otherwise not. How can we arrange it practically?"

"You have the way you work with those interest-free loans in a file right? Would you send that to me so I can pass it on to them? Or wait, you know their wives, Ellen and Marianne, right? Do you also know Jeroen and Eric personally yet?"

"No, not those men yet, but that's so to come. Cool, I think they are great guys, at least as far as their work is concerned! I'll give Ellen a call about it, all right?"

"Totally fine! I'll hear from Jeroen and Eric then about how they want to proceed. Top Sjaak, I'm happy about it!"

"Me too, it does me good to do what's on our hearts!"

"That's right," Karel laughed happily. "Tell me Sjaak, how is Lisa doing, with the pregnancy?"

"Fine, really very prosperous. I can also tell that she is feeling much better than during the first pregnancy. She is bravely going through her process, sometimes just saying to herself something like 'come on soul, you can do it, keep going, I want to get rid of all the shit!' While she has experienced quite a few times, that indeed she then thunders back into a point of healing in no time. She knows she can then leave William to me, so she can go through it without a problem. I often sit with her then, sometimes together with William. Recently that was so special. We were sitting next to her on the sofa, William on my lap, and then suddenly he stretched out both his hands to her, not to be picked up, but as if he was very consciously radiating power to her. Lisa didn't see it, but felt it. It felt like she was being lifted out of that misery, allowing her to shake it off a moment later and look up in amazement. She told me what she had experienced, and I showed her what William had done for a while. No one needs to tell me anymore that a child is childlike. A child is mature in his soul, powerful. Apparently he has no or hardly any injuries, and I'm really very happy about that!"

"Great Sjaak, what a beautiful story! And have you perhaps heard via others that Bianca is also pregnant? We're expecting a baby son in six months, in early August."

"Wow, good news man! Is she doing well?"

"Oh yes, definitely! She is so happy about it, and physically she feels like nothing is going on. She does rest a bit more, often when Julian takes his afternoon nap, she'll lie down on the sofa by herself for a while, music on or something, often your clips. So handy that you put them in a playlist on YouTube!"

"Nice! Then she not only rests, but gets instant soul support, don't you think?"

"I'm sure she does!"

They finished their conversation, after which Sjaak told Lisa what they had discussed.

"Call Ellen right away," Lisa urged him.

.

Ellen was terribly pleased with their offer and called back after reading the arrangements for their interest-free loan together with Eric and also discussing it with Jeroen and Marianne. The four of them were eager to make an appointment to come to Sjaak and Lisa's to talk about it. Sjaak told her that the other residents of Bloemenhof were also very enthusiastic about Eric and Jeroen's work and suggested making it a kind of reunion and to Eric and Jeroen an introductory meeting. Ellen thought that was a great idea, and they immediately agreed for the following evening.

That evening, following Jeroen and Eric's work, they mainly talked about the way they lived and worked. Everyone present recognised each other in this, which immediately created a bond.

In between, Ellen said she was so happy for Alexander and Fiona, because they were going to have a baby in mid-August.

"How nice Ellen, that you can just be happy for them," Lisa said. "Do you already know that Karel and Bianca are also having a baby, early August right Sjaak?"

Sjaak nodded. "It's going to be a baby boom in our soul circle next summer! Two babies here in June, and in August with Alex and Fiona, Karel and Bianca, and also with Bert and Annelies, from the Soul Print Shop! In four years, the discovery centre will have an influx of new discoverers to deal with!"

Ellen nodded: "Alex and Fiona were already talking about how they thought it would be worthwhile to arrange transport so that their child could go there too. Johan and Marieke will arrange it together when Vlinder turns four, maybe a year later they can combine it with Alex and Fiona. Well, we'll hear about that then, fun in any case!"

Simon was thinking about something completely different while they were talking about pregnancies and discoverers. That building Jeroen and Eric had talked about, it would need a lot of refurbishing. He felt a desire to arrange that work for them with closed wallet. How to handle the cost of materials, he would have to discuss that with Annerieke, maybe they could pay for it together.

Huib and Annerieke seemed to sense him. They took him aside for a moment in the kitchen.

"What were you brooding on, Simon?" asked Annerieke.

"I want to see if I can find some workers willing to carry out those renovations or whatever it should be, free of charge. That leaves us with just the cost of materials..."

"Can we pay that together?" asked Huib, " you guys and Margreet and me?"

"I had actually only thought of Annerieke and me, but if you have ability to help out, we should be able to get very far."

"Wonderful plan, let's suggest it to them, but add that this is an intention plan, because at the moment we don't know how high the cost of the materials will be and whether you can get those workers for it."

"Seems like a good idea," Huib said, "wait a bit more, I'll check with Margreet if she also agreed."

Margreet turned out to be just fine with it, after which Simon called attention to it for a moment, sharing their desire. He honestly added that he did not know how his regular employees would react, and how high the cost of the material would be, and thus did not know if they would be able to pay for everything themselves.

Eric responded immediately: "Your intention, from all of you, is the most important thing, that really matters a lot to me," he said, while Jeroen was nodding in agreement. "I just had a quick look at our site, it appears that additional donations are also being made there. Not large amounts, but together I'm sure we'll get by that way. Boy, we knew that building was meant for us, hey Jeroen, but it didn't work out. And Karel knew it too, but he couldn't work it out either. And now the extra donations are already coming in and you are presenting us with these great plans. I think we should call Karel tomorrow, that the sale will go ahead after all, don't you agree?"

A loud shouting and cheering went up, after which Sjaak said, "Why wait until tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if Karel would love it if you call him about it right now."

Jeroen and Eric looked at each other, burst out laughing and nodded at each other. Jeroen grabbed his mobile and called Karel. All those present in Sjaak and Lisa's house heard was him saying, "Hey Karel, it's Jeroen, the sale of that property is going ahead!" Together they answered that remark by shouting and cheering again. Karel heard it, enjoyed it, because he felt how good this was.

"Come by my office tomorrow morning and we'll make it final!"

"Tomorrow? Saturday? Do you have your office open on Saturdays too?"

"Not normally, at most for exceptions. Well, for something as beautiful as this, I'll gladly let you in! What time? Nine o'clock?"

"Will do, you'll see us at nine!"

As the guests headed home, Simon held Jeroen and Eric back for a while. "Tomorrow at nine, do you think we can go by the property then too?"

"Probably, do you want to go immediately tomorrow to see what needs to be done?"

"The sooner the better, right? And then after that I will go and ask my employees if they will join in. I know that most of them already know your site and are excited about it, so I expect that if it is financially feasible for them, a couple will want to join."

.

The next evening, Simon was able to tell them, that he had found a team of as many as twelve workers willing, and that the material costs were no problem if they could use some of the extra donations for it as well.

Meanwhile, Lisa had arranged for the money for the purchase of the property to be transferred, so the purchase could be finally arranged.

Jeroen and Eric put a video camera on the dining table at Jeroen's house, and filmed how they told each other what they had experienced over the past two days, the two days after they put their appeal on the site.

At Bloemenhof, their video was watched with great pleasure the next day. Jeroen and Eric had gotten down on their knees behind the table so that only their heads and arms could be seen on the recording. It looked comical! And the joy on their faces, their fantastic report, brought them immense joy.

The duo's mailbox ran so full of happy messages that day that it completely dwarfed the few hate mails that were always in between.

.

Simon and his workers were soon able to start work and managed to complete it in ten days. After that, they helped Jeroen and Eric's team move, lay cables and whatever else was needed.

Two weeks after the comical video, they made a similar one for the site, with all the team members kneeling behind a big table. Since Eric was also sitting there, no one could operate the camera. Simon saw that the group was now too big for the camera to stand still. So he suggested that he was willing to try recording them. Eric gave him some instructions and they went to work. Afterwards, they reviewed the result together and praised Simon for his camera work.

Again, the team's mailbox filled up. They knew that most writers did not expect them to reply to the messages because it was just not doable. They usually emailed just to let them know how well their messages pleased them.

Sometimes there were messages in between with good practical tips, which Jeroen and Eric tried to feel if they could do something with or if they should put it aside. Tips they could not use at the moment, they saved in a Word file. Maybe they could do something with them later.

.

The team now consisted of 10 full-time staff and several part-timers. The work of most of them consisted of sifting through information, documentation, everything that was being done throughout the country in the old way and here and there in a new way. They looked for points where it wriggled, where it jammed, where the system was inconvenient rather than useful. With markers, they would indicate to texts on paper what the subject was, with question marks and exclamation marks and sometimes a short idea in the margin, they would indicate what had come into their minds while reading. In similar ways, they treated texts and videos on the internet, and texts in email.

They had created a folder system, both on the internet and in actual folders. They had given the cardboard folders and the folders on their computers similar names, so they could easily find everything.

.

Meanwhile, Jeroen and Eric regularly went out for interviews and recordings. Occasionally, they went separately and each took another employee with them, who generally found this a welcome change.

In between, Jeroen and Eric stayed in touch about the working atmosphere. They wanted to know whether everyone was happy with the work they were doing. Several team members would like to go out more often, but they realised that at the moment there were not enough financial resources to buy more equipment, which would allow them to form multiple pairs. They didn't really mind, they could join Jeroen or Eric every now and then, and assumed that a time would come when they could do less desk work and more outdoor work. For now, they just needed to get things off to a good solid start, gather information, so they could dig deeper from that base, and build further.

.

Rooting through all available information, they discovered things they were not happy about, things that dated back centuries before. They discovered a dark line that had branched out across countries, governments and companies in the past, and somehow still seemed to hold people in its grip.

They discussed it with each other, feeling each other out in it. Jeroen came up with a surprising answer about that dark line with its many offshoots.

"That has indeed been there, but I am actually sure that this darkness is no longer there. The problem we identify now is only a consequence of it. Darkness has locked people directly or through other people into a system, into programming. And in quite a large group, that still sits as a kind of programming in their thinking. It's actually a deep wounding. Sometimes I see people change very slowly, but I wish their healing could be faster. As long as they still behave like such a programmed robot, want to rule the country that way, or do other work, the systems we have had for so many years now will continue to exist, even though they don't work at all, usually even backfire. Those programming has ensured that the rich and powerful treated all citizens as a uniform mass. There was no personal alignment whatsoever. Well I do realise that this is also difficult, it is all hard to oversee when you have to rule an entire country with a handful of people.

Lately I have been thinking more and more about how things used to be, and perhaps still are in some countries, in tribes, in smaller villages, where chiefs and village chiefs knew the people and knew what was needed. Misery was solved on the spot.

Something like that, that personal, where people get to know each other heart to heart and can listen to their own inner self to find out what everyone needs. I think what I'm sketching now is far too broad a line, but you have to start thinking somewhere... at least I do. And for now, this is what my basis is, and of which I don't want to impose anything on anyone, but of which I do feel, anyway, that it may become our basis, the basis of our team. Searching for what is right, what is a good way, is searching for what your inner self indicates. For us, it's not about a tribe or a village, but about our work... sensing what falters, sensing how you would like it to be different, how it would be desirable. Suggesting ideas, that too. In the end, people will have to figure out for themselves what suits them best."

"Do you mean, that our articles and video recordings may actually start functioning as a kind of collection of ideas?"

Jeroen nodded: "Something like that yes, to give people ideas with what our soul indicates. You know, our soul does not indicate nonsense, but that which could really help. And with that... anything we put forward from our soul is powerful, and when people read it or watch the recordings, it helps them further, maybe not yet in practical solutions, but in their inner healing."

"And how do you envisage it then, how we might present it?" asked another.

"I don't really like a standard presentation, but I think a bit along the lines of 'we signal that this and that is not working... could it also be done this way or that? Or: have you ever considered...?' So no more than offering ideas, not like a 'it has to be this way'. What might be great for our village might be an impossibility for a village on the other side of the country! And again, what I am pointing out today is something I have been brooding on for some time, and which is still no more than a kind of rough idea. The interpretation will be able to be new for each topic, for each environment, for each day perhaps. That is why it is so incredibly important that we really keep listening carefully to our inner self."

Jeroen looked around the circle to gauge how they were taking it. He saw them nodding, very cautiously, very minimally.

"How do you perceive my impression?"

"Somehow I feel you are right," began one of the colleagues, "but this does require a very different approach than we have learned and are used to. I don't mean that wrong, in fact I even experience it as positive, but I suspect it won't always be easy either."

The others nodded, clearer now, agreeing with her words.

"But, do I understand from the way you are nodding that you do support the idea?"

The nodding became even clearer as they responded positively through each other.

"This is what we wanted, isn't it? Genuineness? Honesty? Openness? And all from how we sense it, based on the impressions we get?"

The murmurs turned into enthusiastic shouts.

Jeroen smiled at those around them. "Let's just start trying it out, consult with each other, show each other our presentations, share our ideas with each other... and become big and strong in it together!"

.

Together, they continued, each separately, and in between business together. They became increasingly open towards each other, started sharing their thoughts, impressions and feelings about situations.

Like every day, a few days later they sat together again over coffee and discussed new discoveries and possible solutions. They also discussed, and this was actually the first time, their disgust at the consequences of years of oppression by the old governments, at the devastation whose effects were still being felt.

How many victims were there still now? The counts could not be kept up. Victims who were sick and miserable and still saw no hope of healing. Victims who were consumed by grief for the large number of loved ones they had lost. Victims who still lived in fear because they too had once taken those vaccinations, and now feared when they would be stricken by heart failure or brain attacks and the like. Victims who lived in abject poverty. Victims who lived on the streets. Winter was coming to an end, but it was not over yet. It was still February, so it could easily start freezing again. How many deaths would that cause again? People freezing on the streets? Creditors could not cope with their work. Benefit agencies were distraught, not knowing how to manage to get all those people on benefits, and feeling lousy on top of that because they knew the amount of benefits was not enough. So a cesspool of misery, the result of years of mismanagement, came to the table.

They shared what they came across on social media, where people described how they were up against everything. Fortunately, they also read of more and more people who were beginning to gain hope against the odds, who quietly discovered that they could follow their inner voice. The latter, of course, was a process in itself that did not happen smoothly in a few days. So much wounding had to heal before people could let go of those standard things they had always been pumped into and focus on what they themselves felt, thought, experienced.

It became clear on social media, that more and more people, including benefit agency staff showed heart towards victims. But even then, they could often do far too little, and that frustrated them. Sometimes, very sometimes, they read that employees quit their jobs because they thought it was criminal to give people a handful of money, which they knew in advance they would not be able to make ends meet with by far. That those employees themselves lost their salaries as a result, they took it for granted. They sought each other out, supported each other, looked together for opportunities to do something meaningful for others.

The moment they shared these messages, Jeroen jumped up, with tears in his eyes: "Dear friends, this is what I have been looking forward to! People standing up, starting to follow their inner selves, even if they are still searching around and not quite free of how things should be according to standard opinion, but this is the beginning of what I long for! Sorry, had to get it out, it just makes me happy that my general impression is starting to get a bit of practice. We are far from there yet, but this is such a beautiful little flower in bud. I'm looking forward to summer, to the full flowers!"

They laughed at the delightful way he expressed his feelings. Some started applauding, to which the rest immediately chimed in and joined in.

"I am going to create a folder 'Golden Moments', both on the computer and in a new binder. And these posts you guys just shared will go in there first! If you guys come across more posts like this, just make it a post to keep. Do we do it in date order?"

They agreed, that within the 'Golden Moments' folder, they would create sub-folders on the same topics they already had research folders of, and within those folders, they would put the messages in date order.

.

These kinds of moments, these kinds of messages encouraged the news team, encouraged them to keep going, to look for all the twists and turns, and at the same time for truth, all the good, all the work that was being done from within.

.

Karel watched their site, enjoyed their revamped journalism. He felt how it had changed to a source of soul information, and sensed their power.

He passed on the site's link to his parents, asked them what they thought of it.

They only responded a few days later, because they had taken those days to read a lot of articles and watch recordings. Their conclusion was clear: 'This is pure soul power, these ideas are not coming from their thumbs but from their insides!'

A few days later, they asked if they could come and stay again. Karel smiled; he knew them well enough to know what their souls were urging them to do. Soon after their arrival, his idea proved true: they were eager to visit Jeroen and Eric's team. 

An appointment was quickly made. Jeroen and Eric made sure everyone, including the part-timers, was present. They had lured them by asking if they still really wanted to live and work purely from within. The answer was a resounding 'yes'! They then asked if they felt they were already fully capable of doing so. For everyone, the answer was 'no'... And as a third step, they told their colleagues, that a couple wanted to come by, to help them move a firm step further with their own soul power. Did they want that? No one responded in the negative, and therefore it was not difficult to find a couple of hours when Maurice and Jacqueline were most welcome.

As they looked at the couple, most of the staff did feel a certain tension, as they had no idea what these people were going to do. Especially that woman, that Jacqueline, who looked at them so sternly, almost worse than a strict school teacher.

Jacqueline began with a general impression. "You know journalism and what surrounds it, from your education and from your previous working atmosphere. You deliberately left it because you wanted to follow your heart and look for authenticity, for truth. Is that right?"

Each of them nodded.

"That has been a great big step and, above all, a great good one. The problem is, though, that what has been pumped into you in your education and work hasn't just gone out of your system by switching to Jeroen and Eric. That makes finding what your inner self says about situations tricky. It is as if you are still attached to all sorts of strings that threaten to pull you in a different direction. Those strings are not as strong as before, when you worked for your previous employer, but they are not gone. Today they go away, piece by piece, the strings that tell you what is truth, the strings that tell you what is the best method, the strings that tell you how you should speak or write or film. All the strings that tell you how you should do your job. All of them, all the strings, I'm pulling them out of you, and yes, that can hurt for a while, which is why I'm coming around the circle. That was violently painful with you for a while, I see, is it better now? Fine... and you? A headache? No more now, I hope? Fine..."

So she went past everyone and when she returned to her seat, she said, "I have now eliminated a common problem that all of you were facing. No, I am not an occult aunt or anything like that, not a sorceress or anything like that. I work, just like you, from my soul. I've just been lucky not to have had as much education as you, which has allowed me to live in reasonable freedom, and when I started to realise a few years ago that I still had things in which I was stuck or wounded, I made a conscious decision to instruct my soul to show me and let me feel everything I needed to do or not do. Those were difficult years, but they are now bearing fruit. And you get to feast on that! I come round the circle one more time, to loosen or take away things from each person. Can I do this here in the circle, or are there people who prefer to do this separately from the group? That' s fine, Maurice and I will just take you aside. Oh yes, wait a moment, before you react: we don't do blame and condemnation. Everything you are stuck in, in which you have been injured, has nothing to do with guilt, and so we have no reason to condemn you. Much of our behaviour is purely the result of injury and belief, instilled teachings. Just cause with a less pleasant consequence, tough luck. So if you have acted out things in the past, and I get a view, an impression about that, I will not judge you about it. But that doesn't take away from the fact that you might be embarrassed in front of your colleagues. Then you can do two things now, two things you can ask yourself... do you want to keep locking yourself away or do you want to be open to your colleagues? The latter would be best, and I also have the impression that you are safe within this circle, but that doesn't mean you can handle it yourself yet.
