I had my second kickboxing session yesterday evening and took it much easier. Afterwards, I didn’t throw up in my mouth and only half of my body’s cells were bleeding and begging for mercy. I’ll just have to listen to my body every time. After all, I’m a 61 year-old grandmother. Kickboxing doesn’t seem to fit my demographic!
Did you miss Kim, Erik, Sunny and me on The Sunny McMillan Show? Check it out HERE.
Also, we’re planning another Houston area get together for Saturday, October 15th at The Corner Bakery in Echo Lane Center. Meet us there at 2:00 PM. We’ll eat lunch, then go to my house for wine, conversation and eBoard fun. If you have one from our last meet-up, wear your Team Erik t-shirt! I hope to see you there!
Me: What’s behind psychopaths/sociopaths? What’s the spiritual basis for that disease?
Erik: People cannot let go of this, right?
Me: Of course not.
Jamie (to Erik): That’s a weird image.
Me: Probably not a pretty one.
Jamie: It’s kind of hard to explain, but do you know those fiberoptic lights?
Me: Oh yeah. Yeah.
Jamie: They usually come in a stand and there’s maybe like fifty of them that come out with all of the lights on at the top.
Erik: That’s how, energetically, we see sociopaths or psychopaths. There’s only one point at the base that grounds all of these different lights together. It’s like having one soul, but it’s torn 98% and only two percent is a solid mass. It’s like you took scissors to it and just shredded it down from the top and left the base together. So, they only have a small percentage that they can collect and ground and get their ideas together while the rest of it is shredded.
Me: Into each of those little fibers?
Erik: Yes.
Me: Okay.
Erik: The lesson of it, of course, is self-understanding. Our culture doesn’t teach us self-understanding. It just teaches us to point at other things and say, “Light. Plant.” Everything’s external to us.
Me: Exactly.
Erik: It doesn’t point at self and say, you know, “Body. Love. Tension.” So, it’s a bad fix. A bad cocktail. Not many sociopaths live to an old age. They can’t handle all of the division. There’s a small percentage that are not truly sociopaths, but they are wide open, spiritually. They’re hearing a multitude of voices and guidance, and they feel they can’t separate themselves from it.
Me: Wow.
Erik: But it is mostly a lesson in internal learning and grounding and mending. We aren’t, as a culture, as a society, giving them the right tools.
Me: Hm.
Erik: In the future, this kind of mental shredding won’t exist.
Me: Good!
Erik: It’s not because we kill off the people who stay that way or don’t want them to have babies so it’s not, you know, like it’s genetically growing out. But it does deal with genetics and we will be able to find the missing answers. It’s going to be weird; most of the mental illnesses are going to be cured.
Me: Why?
Erik: There’s a lot—
Jamie (to Erik): B-busting? Say it differently, Erik.
Erik: There’s a lot of scientific healing coming about dealing with the brain.
Me: Well, what’s the important spiritual aspect? Is there any spiritual reason that we need to eliminate these mental illnesses?
Erik: No, there’s no spiritual reason to eliminate anything.
Me: Well, just because, you know, you don’t want people to suffer from mental illnesses and you don’t want their friends, families and anyone who crosses their path to be negatively effected, too.
Erik: Yes, but at the moment of death, they’re relieved from it, and they get to see their life and the lesson they gave us and how other people treated them and reacted to them. I mean, it seems horrible as an outsider looking in, but you can’t jump into their life and say it’s not worthy; it’s not valuable. Fuck that! So many people do that. It’s so unfair how these people are saying that—
Erik: Look what all of these people have been saying about the gay marriages—that it’s only right for a man and a woman. How can someone be so egotistical to believe that their thinking is the right thinking and that they have to push it?
Jamie (to Erik, laughing): Been reading the paper?
Me: Yeah. Makes no sense. That’s crazy.
Erik: When are we going to start thinking as a whole and not as slices of an apple?
Jamie laughs.
Me: It shouldn’t be anybody’s business but the people involved.
Erik: That’s right, but there’s such a fear about the loss of control, you know, and these people feel like they have to rise up and keep everybody together under one rule and one religion and it’s just fucked up! Let us be who we came here to be!
Me: Hallelujah. Exactly. I couldn’t agree more.
