Janis:
It's good that I hit a note that made you go Hmmmm. I think this is what a
dialogue is all about. Some times to debride old wounds and sometimes to comfort
and care, but always ( for me anyway) to heal. I think you are correct about
chasing the toxic reptiles out, and I also think that it is none of my business
what other people think about me. I have learned through energy works that my
reptiles cause me to feel some kind of pain, anxiety or discomfort in my gut,
back shoulders, or head. Simply by acknowledging the feeling and the energy
associated for what it; I have learned to gain control. I say to the energy I
know you, are the feeling that causes my self esteem to think that I am not
worthy of happiness or success. Thank you for reminding me that I have no more
use for your services. Thank you for teaching me about the power you had over
me, and what it feels like in my body. I then pray to Creator a small prayer of
thanks for making me just one step closer to the perfect being that I was prior
to my birth. My goal is to think less, pray more and be as perfect at being a
man as the tree on my front lawn is at being a tree.

Bette Said fake it till you make it. and I will expand on that to acknowledge it
is easier to act your way into a new way of thinking than to think your way into
a new way of acting. This phrase has helped me to look at prayers of thanks as a
minute by minute practice rather than a collection of thoughts and missed
opportunities to talk to God in the way that I was taught for son rise and son
set prayers. If I can act is god like as the trees, birds, flowers and water,
then my state of being will mark my path of humility and devotion to God,
through my state of devotion and humility to all of Gods creations.

Hmmm... I got the opposite message. That our job was to find them and
chase them out of the castle. The messages these reptiles carry are
toxic. The biggest reptile I found in the castle was the one that
says people should like me and I should care about their opinion of
me. Wrong. I have come to understand that I need to follow my heart
and my intuition, trust the Universe to lead, and let others have
whatever opinion of me they wish. It is none of my business.

The original poster wrote about God punishing her, and that is also a
HUGE reptile - that there is a being sitting in judgement, ready to,
on a whim, if we step one foot "wrong" (whatever wrong is...), to
crush us for screwing up. Run that reptile out of your castle
immediately!
