Below are some highlights:

#quote “There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.” ~Henry David Thoreau

• If you get your psychological needs met you grow automatically, like a plant, no choice.
• If you keep getting your needs met you end up like Gandhi. People who become great are fundamentally just people who got their legitimate needs met; what a human looks like when functioning at capacity.
• #quote “[We have never seen a fully grown person]” ~Thoreau (paraphrase)
• People in prison got there because they weren’t getting their needs met and then one day they put their foot down in a misguided way trying to get them met.  Putting them in prison doesn’t help them get their needs met

“Integrity has to do with how integrated your psyche is” ~Josh #etym

• Problem: Repression
  • Repression happens because if we were to connect with our most embarrassing memories we wouldn’t function, would shut down or lash out
  • physical neurons we could be using are bound up holding repressed memories.
• Solution: Highly resourced state
  • List 10 situations in which you felt  proud, other positive emotions
  • Like your Facebook photo <> minimalist homepages vision, proud.of
  • Two figures example
  • Assign symbol, database lookup key to happy memories

“Your consciousness lightens with each step of healing… Until you are enlightened” ” ~Josh #etym

• “I’ve lived and died several times since I last saw you because every day I’m practicing”
• Your growth limiting step, the blockage to your growth might not be because lack of meditation but e.g. bad relationship (personal, business, etc.)
