Customer Reviews

Caroline keeps growing. She is a powerful catalyst.

This CD worked on both my wife and I in subtle ways. Caroline has always challenged the listener. In this CD, it is done without being confronting. It is more like, "this is way it is. You are free to do with this information what you will". I am very glad I bought this CD. It has made a definite positive impact on my life.

Tribal, Individual, and Symbolic Realms of Power

In Three Levels Of Power And How To Use Them, Myss continues to lift the curtain on the human body's energy network, and the vast data banks which stores our thoughts and feelings. She explains that the power centers (chakras) can be divided into 3 levels: the tribal, the individual, and the symbolic. She also discusses the 8th chakra, a place of symbolic, or archetypal, sight. Myss says that power (our life force/prana/chi) is the common ingredient within the human experience. Moreso, it is the common ingredient in health, and certainly in the loss of health. Myss elaborates on the power of the tribal mind, which is group thought. It's where we all start, and encompasses family, ethnicity, religion, political ideas, and trends. If your energy is plugged into group thought, you will function, create and heal at the speed of the group. For example, let's say you were diagnosed with an illness that your family believes is incurable. You look into alternative health, and hear stories of people who were healed from this disease. You tell your family this, and they say "No one gets healed from this. Your grandfather, uncle, and cousin all died from this disease." If you're plugged into group thinking, you will align yourself to what they believe...and live accordingly. Groups usually move very, very slowly...mostly because of being resistant to change. Have you ever heard "We've always done it this way" or "We've never did it this way"? This is tribal language. It's giving your energy circuits over to the group for them to control you. Myss calls this level "eau d' toilette", because you need a lot to get anything done. The next level of power is individual power. You have to have an incredible sense of internal power to overcome the structure of external power. This is the realm of power where you unhook from the tribal mind, and where you have to take responsibility for everything you believe--good, bad or indifferent. No "well, my family does it this way..." in the realm of individual power! You can heal much faster than the tribe in this realm, because energy moves faster. She explains that forgiveness is what helps us detach from the tribe, maneuvers us into individual power, and gets us into present time. Myss likens this level to cologne: it's stronger than eau d' toilette, and will work for longer. The third level of power is the symbolic realm. This is the higher altitude where we become the observer of our life without being threatened. It is the symbolic and archetypal realm where we see our life through the eyes of sacred contracts and archetypal "dancing". This is a realm of power that can go the distance, which Myss likens to perfume. Myss also discusses how we can manage our own power, especially through choice. We can choose not to put our energy into getting mad about losing a parking space, as well as not leaking energy into a past relationship that we should have let go of long ago. She explains how to build up our "grace accou

Fascinating concepts on where we get and loose power.

I heard this author first discuss this information in lecture, then again on tape. She is riveting. Her wisdom is so "right on" that it left me stunned for some days, trying digest the sheer quanity of new insights I had to find a place for it in my gut. This tape set truly analyizes the creation and maintenence of personal power, how we get it, loose it, and minipulate with it. Interesting also, is how we get suckered in by others who have found out power leaks. A must for folks in competitive work places, or disfunctional families. It taught me how to be more fair and truthful to myself and others. Thanks to the Author. :-)

Can't wait to hear tape one.

I listened to tape two of the two tape series. It was recommended and lent to me by my brother. (he must still have tape one!) Even though I started on tape two, I was able to follow along midstream without difficulty. The author delves into her meaning of "self" and "self-discovery" that came to her on her journey into her faith. It is thought provoking and intellectual without losing the listener. The interviewer's questions were insightful, and really what I wanted to ask. It reminded me of a Bill Moyers type of interview. Respect for the author, while asking tough questions.
