Lightbulb Why Steve talks over my head sometimes

I think I know why Steve's posts don't seem very logical anymore.

I have a friend who is at the "Love" level of consciousness, and although she isn't as educated as Steve is, they're both beginning to sound a lot alike: They are both very intuitive and say things that don't make much logical sense to my mind. The difference between her and Steve is that I think she does a better job of coming down to my level, the level of reason, to explain how she thinks as she does. She's 71 and has been at the level of Love for a while, so I think that's why. Understanding her is the only reason that Steve doesn't talk completely over my head. He still speaks somewhat over my head, though, but I think with practice he will get better.

Since you've already got a wonderful person in your life who is willing to speak down to a "lower level", why not see Steve's writings as an opportunity to stretch your own level upward? You'd have the best of both worlds.

Maybe you could try on: letting go of "I think with practice he will get better" and see how "I think with practice I am increasing my understanding!" works for you. That would be all to your benefit, regardless of what Steve or anyone else does or doesn't do.

100% responsibility, baby!

Well, I already am stretching myself to understand what he says -- that's what I meant -- but you do make a good point.
