Great topic, I think shame is embedded in many levels...

Shame because of being a woman, of making errors, of not controlling my feelings, of not "knowing better", of being from a 3rd world country, of not "keeping my man" (eventhough he was not good), for not having the body of an athlete+runway model, for not being further in my career, the list is endless.. but as you say even if you were all those things it would NEVER be enough...

Its so great to see that garbage for what it is and say: Enough... that is so Old School!!

For me shame comes because I do not recognize my link to God thus I do not give myself all the good things I deserve... I just do not recognize the enlightened part of me.

Funny how God/HP made us with codie tendencies but that same "need to help" let us find true support for each other


Thanks all for this thread.
