					<description><![CDATA[I feel rather ashamed to write this, as knowing there are choices out there, and reading your enlightening article and the messages, I realise that I am horribly stuck! It is all to do with Men and feeling responsible for their wellbeing, and is an excuse for not moving on. First a father, who depended on me for joy and advice but who also kept me dependent, then a husband who&#039;s work was so much more important, and who then left for a more exciting proposition, and now a kind and devoted male friend, with whom I am afraid to leave for fear of being alone. Yet, I have not experienced this wonderful world yet, and wish so much to do so, time is running out, where does one find such courage.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As always you are extremely to the point, even uncannily so. I have been trying to figure out why I have been feeling so strange of late and it has been so elusive I haven’t been able to pin it down. I didn’t think there were others out there feeling it too and it’s a relief to know that given that in my own life there are separations happening among people and situations I believed were more or less fixtures. In some ways the challenges are greater now than when I started NARP nearly a year ago as I’m now dealing squarely with the 3D/5D schism. I’m floating free in many ways and bumping up against 3D all the time with others and in the world.  My situation has not changed much but my internal state has. I don’t crash as hard anymore because I know how to parent myself but others don’t like that I am so selective about my choices because they claim I can’t afford to be and it shows them up. And then of course when I have asked for help conflict arises in these quarters. I have been experiencing a lot of judgement and I feel like a ghost in the shell of my old life. At the same time old patterns I was not aware of are really in my face now and the sense of disconnect is like a jagged edge while the life I want hovers just at the edge of my field of vision. It has been affecting me somatically with my digestion as I have been processing some very sticky stuff.  Your work has made me realise that much of my past spiritual practice has been a case of doing things for the wrong reasons as has my relationship patterns out of a sense of not being enough.  This has stopped me dead in my tracks. I felt like I was doing so well for a while and it’s so hard now not to react to what I have been finding inside myself. The only thing that stops me is the knowledge that 3D doesn’t work. In that liminal space I have had encounters with others that have energetically felt like universes colliding and I have surprised myself by how I have shown up. At the same time this new scheme of things feels very unstable and it’s been equally hard to put my weight on it. What has helped is the idea of “pushing back” against my old patterns, of subtle resistance, of challenging myself. I’m tuning to the true nature of the struggle within myself. It has been incredibly challenging but I can’t go backwards and as you say there is nothing else to do. Thanks for being such a light Mel. 🙏]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Timely as always! I’ve just been reflecting on all of the above! 
And noticing my rescuing tendencies and who is not really doing the inner work even if they seem to be on some level. 
And needing to be authentic is absolutely essential and not possible to ignore anymore. 
Thank you for these wise words 🙏🏻]]></description>
