I am sitting in the sun and my whole being is just vibrating with the intensity of your sharing’s. Oh my gosh. Thank you for having the strength to reach in, to stir, to still and then to pull out………… a new you? I am so reminded of the concept of the ‘Witness Consciousness’, where one observes oneself without judging. The really interesting part of your sharing though is where you are beginning to observe the old Margaret from the position of the new Lao and are able to do that without judging the old.

Open posted about the feeling of living in two different worlds and I so resonated with that general feeling. Reading your experiences however seemed to crystalize for me the difference between the two worlds. You are (or rather appear to be) experiencing the evolution of a new self, a new identity. It is the old Margaret that identifies with the current world as we know it.

The blow by blow account of your feelings, your synchronicities and your reactions is totally awesome. I suspect that all the Openhanders reading your accounts can relate to much of what you are struggling with because we are all on the same path, albeit in a slightly different location!

I am amazed at how your are able to articulate everything so clearly. The concept of using the Openhand Forum as a blog is so so useful to everyone reading it. Keep going Margaret and keep on writing.
