You're smarter than the average bear. Good advice.
So many people want to identify with their story and recreate it over and over every day based on their memory and their conditioning. Everyday is a fresh and new slate. We don't need to go into a dysfunctional memory and throw that up on the stage for another day. So many get trapped in their belief systems.
Interesting that the opposite of openness is closed off.
Symbolically I have always seen conditions like candida overgrowth as a kind of spiritual stagnation. Ponds stagnate for the same reason. Holographic I must say. But I better be careful with that insight because the natives may get restless.
