(The real value of Core Wisdom is not realized through an intellectual understanding of the principles, but is fulfilled by living the principles and practices in your daily life. To "walk your talk" with the principles and practices is to be a "practical mystic" in action. Beginning with this issue, the section of the ezine titled, "Living Your Core Wisdom" will offer insights, realizations, and experiences from Core Wisdom participants sharing the way Core Wisdom has become a living guidance system in their lives. We start with a communication from Earl V., who participated in the February 2008 Core Wisdom Mastery Class: "Awakening from the Dream of Mistaken Identity", sharing some previously unconscious patterns of mental conditioning that he observed and dissolved in the weeks following the class.)
�dwelling in the question " what is awareness?", the statement " I am sick" arose. While doing [the recommended method] to dissolve this identification, resistance showed up. Staying with the process, an awareness occurred: "being sick (a victim) is good, there are payoffs!"
Continuing in the process, [I saw that] the payoffs of being sick were around dominating others, and dominating in a very interesting way; With sickness, if it's a really good sickness, often others will respond with fear of death, pay lots of attention, and give you things that you couldn't imagine getting on your own. So, who wants to be well!?! And if you are well, you have to do it on the sly, where no one can see you (you don't want to lose your effectiveness). What a web is woven with this one!; it zaps joy, fosters separation, and thwarts true self expression. When truly being powerful is called for, this is such a cross purpose identity.
The extraordinary bonus that came out of this process was an awareness of an attachment to death. Looking at the structure of the victim role above, the communication by others that " something bad might happen, he might die" made death very important; Without death, you can't get your way, you don't have any power. How can you use death to dominate and control if it's not held as important?!
My next step? To inquire into and dissolve, "Everything that led up to identifying and resonating with death as a way of dominating and controlling others (and myself)!
Best regards,

A Core Wisdom Quote
It's funny how one can go through life reacting, blaming, explaining instead of observing, listening, allowing�
It takes effort to live the moment instead of responding through conditioning.
I've met someone I enjoy; someone I'd like to get to know; someone I'd like to spend some time with�
Forty six years and finally awakening to the joy of being; understanding that there is no peace in determining who I am through others validation; Finally pealing back the layers, opening my kimono and allowing my me-ness to be exposed. Unafraid of what others see, unafraid of the reflection in the observer's lens.
I've met someone I enjoy; someone I'd like to get to know; someone I'd like to spend some time with�.me"
