Purrsiflage – Your Inner Kitty Horoscope with Alysse Aallyn

Dec 23

The Universe Has a Warning For You – Look out. Are you a worrier?  Anxiety driven? Haunted by nightmares and worst-case scenarios? Do you wake up gasping and trying to forget what you’ve just experienced?

You are Alert – Nightmares mean you’re paying attention. Life is scary, but we need to grow, and growth requires we learn to cultivate risk if we are ever to expand and venture outside our comfort zone.

The Number One Complaint About the Freedom of Becoming a Purrson? – Fear management. The only way to manage fear? Become a Purrson.

Study Risk Intelligently. No point being afraid of dragons if dragons are only symbolic. No point being “afraid” of “foreigners” if the man telling us to be afraid has a reputation for befriending people and then fleecing them.

Managing Fear:

1. Don’t rely on rumor and innuendo

• Dangers must be proven Real

• Dangers Need to be Historically verified by data: “How likely is injury?”

• Assemble likely risk-avoidance strategies that have performed well for others in your situation.

• What exactly is your situation? Quantify.

• Know who your friends are

• Be prepared to alter strategy to maximize success and to learn from mistakes

Purrsons Prepare Because Cats are notoriously wily. Purrsons accept, identify and study the challenges. They learn to make sophisticated risk assessments and pick their battles cleverly. To do that, Purrsons need a Purpose. You get to find out who your friends are. Friends want the best for you, but the relationship must be reciprocal. You have each other’s backs. Know the difference between a Team and a Gang. Gangs work to suck power from individual members and concentrate it in one individual. Teams work for the success of all. Coach can’t win if the team doesn’t win.

Purrsons Test – their and mental physical abilities constantly against life’s games & mazes

Purrsons Transform – The physical pleasure of meeting the moment cannot be overstated. Soon the training itself becomes a rush of joy. You are making love to the universe and the universe loves you back

What About Defeat? – There are no defeats, there are only lessons. Everything is practice for The Greater Contest.

Won’t You Ultimately Lose? Truly, we all die, some sooner, some in startlingly less dignified ways. This is where your purpose upholds you. Study your models. What allowed Nelson Mandela to be “captain of his soul” after more than 20 years in brutal captivity? Are we just bodies? Or are we also souls? Are our souls so easily defeated? Can we also train, test and transform our souls?

Remember –  a caterpillar’s “defeat” is a butterfly.

Models & Mentors – “Extreme Fear can neither fight nor fly.”

– William Shakespeare

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear” – Mark Twain

“If you try to get rid of fear and anger without knowing their meaning, they will return stronger” – Deepak Chopra

“We’re more often frightened than hurt, and we suffer more from imagination than reality.” – Seneca
