    I love this. I have left the family system that I spent my life loyal to and almost died doing being the good girl….the tide is turning and the sick family system that has been poisened by culture and all of it will crumble and the new paradigm is the conscious community…It’s brutal to detox and it’s the only path to actually come to be alive for the first time…

    At the 30 minute mark where Liz is talking about her conversation with her relative, and the relative says “I need to know that you’ll always be there for me”… I can relate so deeply to the stress around that. I said, in all honesty, “No, I cannot be there for you right now” to one best friend because my other best friend was dying of cancer. I had to put all of my energy into her. BF #1 STILL thinks of me as a bad person because of that, and it’s fine. It was always fine, to be honest, because if you only love me when I cater to your whims, then you don’t actually love me. You only love my service to you, and that’s not the kind of love I need or want in my life.

    Swords are the suit of the intellect. When they show up, you know you have thought yourself into this conundrum. In the numbered cards you are shown the action required to surrender; in the cards with a single sword you are being offered the truth through mental clarity. Either way the goal is freedom. The goal of the tarot process is always freedom.

    First thank you for this interiew. I empathize so much with you Liz for living with such internal battles. I can relate too much, especially regarding family and the guilt that comes with all of it. To be free of all that guilt and shame and useless stress, that is my journey. To reclaim all the energy wasted for worries caused by my hypersensiblity. I have started doing letters from love in the morning, it is a blessing. Thank you.

And the host, is the most sweet, sincere, open hearted person. What a delight. God bless you both. This was life-blood. I bless your future hug, it will be spectacular!

    I loved this conversation, especially “discipline” towards the end. What a wonderful question about devotion.
    That’s what I’ve been exploring. I’m over “discipline” and no longer see it as freedom. K. Krishnamurti points out how discipline is conformity, which I’ve discovered after decades as an architect
    I’m very much like Liz when it comes to discipline and structure. I’m extremely organized with my work but I wasn’t a good student or an organized person growing up.
    I’ve also been tempted to invite more chaos but it doesn’t work. I just need better perspectives on discipline and order and organization as the layers peel off
    It’s an evolution. The organization and the rigor remain, but the rigidity falls away. The structure remains but the language evolves. Ritual is a better word than habit because it’s a conscious series of steps, not a programmed behavior. Persistence is a better word than consistency because it doesn’t imply perfectionism, etc. …

    You said, usually, when you follow "God"s wish, you think some years later: "Ooh. That's why." But you actually never know whether that WAS why. Or whether the real why will only be revealed later. The why is probably always too complicated.
    Wonderful interview, I really enjoy it.

    The one that needs to feel safe in the world needs to be right so as we gain our freedom, safety comes from our bodies to our minds more often and we won't feel we have to be right as often.
    But I struggle with the idea of caring less as a remedy. I think paying better attention and discernment is needed as to where we put our energy.

    Liz is also a Projector like me. She is a Mental Projector in Human Design…that is why every relationship ends up with her absorbing the other person and becoming sick…always happens to Projectors as we have to know what we are and how to play in these relationships with people are are typically Generators..they make us sick as we cannot be in contact with others that much..Projectors must be on their own much of the time to keep clean and purified..

    It is hard to interpret intuitive knowledge of letting go and the mind's relentless fear-mongering. I have tried, tried, and tried to free myself, but external circumstances and people keep me in the role by which I feel trapped.

    • @laura.malina.seiler
      @laura.malina.seiler  3 місяці тому +3

      Thank you for sharing. I completely understand how challenging it can be to distinguish between intuitive guidance and the fears that our mind creates. The feeling of being trapped by external circumstances can be overwhelming, but remember: true freedom starts within. By working on inner alignment and focusing on what you can control, you gradually shift out of that trapped feeling. It’s not easy, but every small step toward letting go brings you closer to inner peace. Be kind and patient with yourself on this journey. 💛 Much love!
