[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 664969, member: 17461"] Carolyn Myss, Sarah ban Breathnack have been on Super Soul. Discussing betrayal and self compromise as markers. I hope each of you reading this morning are watching. And she refuses to cherish everything that might be. She chooses hatred, instead. You cannot choose for her Copa, anymore than I can choose for my sister, or believe something into being that does not exist. I don't know. It seemed funny, that she would say that. It seemed that I was ridiculed for honoring a commitment I did not question. "What's the difference between those people who hurt you and what you are doing to yourself." Carolyn Myss She just said that. On Oprah Super Soul. She wrote "A Course in Miracles." She is a medical intuitive. I'm sorry that happened to you, Copa. I wish for you that your father had been a better man, a better father. I know he wanted to be, Copa. I know he did. Bad men don't tickle. I think this, this morning, about this idea of self betrayal. Could it be that we don't see the things others spot as wrong? Could it be less an attempt at mastery than that we feel in familiar territory when the warning bells clang? Until finally, we recognize familiar as fatal? Flattery ~ I am so focused on flattery this morning, plays its part, here. The bruised woman, having breakfast with her very attentive abuser, who is giving the waitress the eye right in front of her. I was that waitress. The woman never raised her eyes, Copa and Serenity. Her face was bruised, her attitude...it was as though she were not there. That is self betrayal. She knew. She was shamed; eating breakfast with her abuser. I knew. And I was just a kid. The man was slimy guy person. Security Boy without the paperwork, maybe. Safe harbor from a storm he creates and has no intention of allowing to abate. Temping her in with broken, flattering words and promises and blame. If she would only look up. [/QUOTE]
