Letter from the Field: Days of Wine and Thorns…and Roses
Hello, everybody. I’m pasting in a letter from my friend Mark who had a private session with me a few months ago. While I’m here, let me say that the June Awakening and Clarity Workshops are both sold out. I’m grateful for your enthusiasm. I’ll schedule workshops for July in early June; please check the EVENTS tab for updates.

Hi Fred
Mark here, we did a Skype session last day of January. My warmest greetings to you and your wife, I hope all is well.
I meant to write a lot earlier than this but in the days after our call things that were already going a bit frantic in the units work life gained some pace. To be honest, so much shifted in that call and then immediately in the days and weeks after that the pace of other things and the ‘stress’ of those things…well nothing was working. I hit the bottle, not badly, but I needed a few glasses of wine or something for a few weeks. I realised I was still self-medicating, and the taste I had from our session was disappearing, well it was a kind of sadness for a while.
And then a week ago, boom. It all came back. I looked for a separate me and I genuinely couldn’t find it. Moments of clarity in our call came back while I was on a train. I thought about getting back in touch (which I probably still will) and in that very moment I opened up gmail on my phone and one of your emails was there. So I’m about to get going on the book of unknowing.
The session worked my friend, like majorly so. I guess I just needed needed another blast in ‘Mark drama land’ for a hopefully last look around. I feel profoundly different, my thought loops on the old story end quite quickly recently even if I don’t try and shift them deliberately. What’s arising is always just fine, and boy it’s soon over anyway. Now, now and now. Then poof…all one thing.
Fred thanks again, I’m looking forward to the new book, I’ll be in touch again one of these days.
Best wishes,
Mark
Thanks, Mark, and look soon for The Book of Unveiling, which is being put together as I write this. 🙂
All love,
Fredness

Mark’s letter was so reassuring to read. In AA they say “keep coming back” which didn’t work for me there, until surprise! – I understand that it is applying to the repetition ( and reassurance) of this “work”. Fred’s “repetition is the mother of clarity” is one of my mainstays.
It’s so funny and wonderful that I’m replying to my Self’s letter here. And that I’m at a place where ‘i’ can take this moment and think about “you” and Fred’s inspirations BECAUSE my individual stories get to be part of this much “bigger” story – our One story! Thanks for sharing “yours” Mark. And to the One of us that verbalizes this story so wonderfully (Fred).

Thank you Mike and Fred – It is very wonderful and exciting to hear the news. I will look forward to the possibility of signing up for a July online group sessioon when there is space available. That wil also allow and encourage me to deal with another of my nemesis, technology, to be able to participate. – Don
