I agree with losing the love and respect of those not in line with our very integrity, but in a world so hooked on phones/mainstream as this guy above--immediate hit if you stay within the parameters, there are fewer to relate with, or who are willing to relate on an evolving level and humans are meant to relate. I recently read being lonely can be compared to smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. Perhaps, horseshit, but I did give up my two a day that had worked to "smoke-out," what I didn't want to feel so clearly. Anyway, .....

Quality over quantity, perhaps.

Perhaps more meaningful to have just one true friend than a hundred fake ones. Or even none at all, rather than one whom you’d have to compromise yourself for to retain the “friendship.”

And perhaps it’s in setting such standards and backing them by the action of removing those from our lives who don’t align, that we may come more solidly into our true selves - which surely is a prerequisite to attracting/connecting with those whom we are actually on the same frequency with.

Or some shit. Haha.

Yes, I agree. Better to have one, or two true and move towards being more comfortably ourselves. Interestingly enough, I am pretty freshly into this process--moving away from two who've been in my life for years. I suppose I'm in the in-between space which has been a recent theme in a host of other ways (artistically, spiritually, psychologically) in this past year or so.

Have you gotten into Human Design yet?

If not, I’d highly recommend getting your free chart as a starting point.

It does sound as though you’re at a point that is quite aligned with the profoundly powerful insight that comes through the HD experiment... 😉

No, I had not heard of, nor gotten into Human Design, but did follow the free chart link, looked up and read a bit. Nice and sunny so I ran out to do some yard-work while it lasted. I am a Sacral Generator which isn't surprising considering I'm a triple Scorpio ;)

How about you? Tell me more about the experiment.

Nice. I’m Cancer Sun, Pieces moon - so like Scorpios. :-)

I’m 6/2 Manifesting Generator, Emotional Authority.

Hmmm... where to start...

I guess the “experiment” perspective... Human Design is a profoundly deep body of knowledge. As it’s called, “The Science Of Human Differentiation.” There’s ALOT of information to explore, though ultimately, the study side of things doesn’t amount to much without the experimentation - actually testing out following one’s Strategy & Authority for themselves to discover the truth in it experientially.

It’s said 7 years is the length for one full deconditioning process/cycle, required to really align back with one’s own Strategy & Authority and break free of the conditioning influences we’ve had since birth.

I’m sure there’s a lot others who could explain it better. I’ve only been in my experiment a year and focusing in learning my own design, rather than how to teach it or guide others. Though that’d be one way of looking at it from a basic premise...

What a nice combination of signs you are, rok! As you know, Cancer & Pisces are the best match for Scorpio and I can't say I've ever met someone with the two together in sun/moon.

Looks like I'm a 4/1, though I have no idea what that means? Strategy is to Respond. I did watch a video that came to my inbox last night. As far as experimentation, I believe I've been doing that just in my courageous living, but not so focused, which I'm sure I'd benefit from. I'll continue to explore.

Interesting that you mention seven years as a length for one full deconditioning. I've been through a somewhat turbulent seven years and am definitely a different person now than when the process began. I think I was looking at it like I've gained strength, but also with a touch of breaking mirrors and seven years bad luck, but just this morning heard it said that life isn't about teaching us those kinds of lessons, but opportunities or some such--simply a view from another direction.

You can teach me if you'd like, definitely is a good way to learn, delve deeper. I did run into something in my category of HD that suggested having someone I trust ask me a lot of questions so that I could clarify, be exposed to my own desires by checking in and answering.

I think you make some really good points. It is true that the current idea of influecners in social media make it hard to really gauge what our idea of self worth should be. I actually think it is pretty funny when people label themselves an influcencer. What is the criteria to make you be that. Can you just call yourself one and poof, that is the reality? As usual I feel like I am babbling again and I might have entirely missed the point :)

And then, of course, there’s the aspect: “influencer” doesn’t specifically entail influencing in a positive regard...

On the contrary, it’s worth questioning how many “influencers” are actually using their platforms for stimulating intelligent thought and providing valuable service to society - versus several whom essentially bought their “influence” to put on a fake marketing presentation, promoting a soulless materialistic lifestyle, propagating brainless platitudes, reinforcing narcissistic ideals...

Please FUCK OFF with your spam.

I’m pretty sure Jesus would not condone disrespecting and breaking the rules of a community simply to push your own agenda.
