  1. Catherine,

    A close friend bought me the best selling book, Strengths Finder 2.0 and encouraged me to take the test to see what 5 strengths I bring to the table, abilities that I may or may not be utilizing fully at this time. I searched for a reference to the book on Solari and was actually surprised that you had not discussed this as understanding our own personal unique strength profile is essential in realigning our personal compass to “A Free and Inspired Life”. This friend and I had the chance to go on vacation out of the country and long conversations kept bringing me back to discussions here on this website, either between you and Jon Rappaport or other guests, so I am giving my friend a subscription so we both can abbreviate some of the verbiage by a simple reference to Solari.com.

    In other words, thanks, Catherine.

  4. Thoughts on Fear.

    Catherine, years ago you said one of the best things one could do is get rid of your TV. I did end up getting rid of my TV but I don’t think I understood at the time the extent of that action. I did not realize how TV promotes a constant fear state. The news constantly warns of threats that are unlikely to ever touch me. The adds warn of all kinds of illness to be prevented with some drug. Even the comedies have back stabbing friends or cheating lovers.

    I recently read a zerohedge article on a rueters survey of what people thought was a threat to the US. Obama and Putin were some of the choices.. What I saw was that what people were afraid of was manufactured and they were afraid of things that were unlikely to actually touch them where they lived. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-03-30/reuters-asks-who-more-threat-obama-or-putin-surprised-answer

    I have memberships with you and Joseph Farrel. I feel well informed but not overly afraid. I so appreciate both of you for facing problems without hysteria.

    I used to listen to Clif high of the Webbots. He focuses on fear language and I learned a great deal about letting fear control me or not, while listening to him. He taps into the wish to know what will happen in advance in order to be prepared and defend oneself. That desire is very strong in adult children of alcoholics by the way. But what I learned is even if he got the language right it never manifested as your mind projected it. It is better to keep your eyes open, observe, keep on paddling in everyday life and adjust as things actually impact you. Fear has you sell out experiencing your here and now for things that may never happen ( Collapse of the dollar etc)

    I see the value in facing things, but not with fear. I had an experience where the IRS sent me a letter stating that I had not paid enough tax on a 401K early distribution years ago. They said I owed them more than my annual income. They sent multiple letters and I was terrified. i finally went for a walk up a steep hill near me. I was huffing and puffing and angry and scared. Finally I said they can do whatever they want but i will not give them my fear. I refuse to be afraid. I called them and had the odd experience of the IRS telling me i was not making enough money to make it as a single person and they were putting me in non collectable status. It was one of the best lessons i have ever had in fear.

    Anyway, thank you so much for shining a light on our world and giving us a way to see the darkness with strength and faith instead of fear.

    1. You are most welcome! Yes, letting go of TV is a great thing. I have been watching a TV series on Netflix and just had to drop it – same thing. Too much fear.
