From my correspondence:
[7:55:31 PM] Alex Makarski: read your recent articles
i’m afraid to sound condescending
even though i know you won’t take it that way
your writing keep getting better
simpler, stronger
vibrant
some time, could you explain the difference between gratitude and appreciation?
people always pile them up into the same thing and use in the same sentence
i don’t know the answer but i feel you do

[8:13:30 PM] Sophie Maven: appreciation has no direction, gratitude does.
you just appreciate something, but you are grateful to someone, for something

in appreciation you don’t have to acknowledge source, but you have to risk that appreciating what is will keep you stuck with it

in gratitude you need to be vulnerable to someone and take the risk of having to reciprocate, having to have earned what you got, or some other really horrible and nasty things that ego is mortally afraid of

that means, gratitude is a bigger existential risk, and therefore a higher

Unless you can play and do play you can’t grow.

What’s the difference between your regular life and play?

And is the wild competition of let’s say football… is that play?

Dark Side

Dark Side is a reality. I am gaining insights little by little, it is not like I can learn much about its motives: Dark Side doesn’t reveal its purpose, doesn’t reveal its strategies, moves, means of enslavement and assimilation, you can put the picture together, like a jigsaw puzzle, afterwards.

Afterwards? Yes.

All information about the Dark Side has come to me while I reclaimed a soul, while I reclaimed a country.

It is still not clear to me what the Dark Side wants. I have some clarity about what it offers.

Dark Side is interesting. Dark Side is different. It promises significance and pleasure.

Then it uses you and your body for whatever it wan

I wrote this article two years ago, in 2013. Today I use different words to express what I did then. I say, today, that capacities inherent in human DNA were activated… instead of added.

But other than that… this article is as good as new… With, or course the major difference, of publicly activating capacities and seeing if they are taken or not, if they are resisted and how.
In the two years or so before the DNA upgrade of September 4, 2013, my job was to coach people in activating their human being capacities, raise their vibration, access their soul’s guidance, and connect to Source.

In hindsight, I’d signed up to do failed experiments so Source can learn humans and the human condition intimately.

In the first phase, it became clear that you cannot activate capacities in people that are unconscious and are driven by dark desires, greed, and lust.

In the second phase it became clear that even with individual activation something was amiss: humans are not even able

OK, I’ll be precise. Enamored by his prominent cheekbones and his upper lip, his rubber face.

Absolutely magnetic. To me. I just wanted to watch it for hours and hours and hours.

First time I saw this dude was when I watched Casino Royale… and I was mortified when he tortured 007… who even wants to know the actor’s name… all I wanted is watch more of this Mads dude.
