		<description>Hi Claudia : ) Thank you for sharing Bella with us. we really love our animals....don&#039;t we. 

Both of my kitties are 18 years old and I noticed that Shiphicat pronounced &quot;Shiffy&quot; doesn&#039;t quite see or hear like he use to - that&#039;s when the reality sets in that we&#039;re all mortal. 

Shaibicat pronounced &quot;Shaybee&quot; (female) will probably last into her mid 20&#039;s but I&#039;ve decided both will will be allowed to die naturally and certainly will be buried at home under their favorite mandarin orange tree (also with their toys). 

Snowball (the white kitty you helped) lived to the age of 24 and just didn&#039;t wake up one day. She  is  buried under that beautiful tree....and raised these two.

Love &amp; best regards, Billy</description>

		<description>Beautiful Bella, how we loved you so.  Your bounding joy, love of life and silliness will ever warm my heart.  You brought a kind kinship to my Goldie, Copper, when we moved to NM, which I am ever grateful for.  I am so happy you two are romping together again.  I&#039;ll miss you girl.  -Camp Aimee</description>

		<description>Joseph...
Interesting discussion you bring up.  
I look at love (more of a verb) as that ultimate power that we all have to affect our environment - a gift in being human - that essence that gives us joy in the little things and awe at the big.  
I have an equal amount to you (no more, no less) and yet, I may have more of an awareness of this power.  So, if I choose to use this LOVE in a conscious and awake and aware manner - I can create and shift &#039;challenges&#039; in my life to the plus (feel good) column.  These challenges when I am less awake and aware seem all consuming and daunting.
So often in life we fall into the victim mentality and feel that life is done to us.  Yet, we are the ones with our hands on the steering wheel of our lives.  Using RET and Life Skills has taught me and my clients that there is nothing random about being here, who shows up for us, the challenges and blessings that come and go....they are all part of an attraction process.   That is why when we feel angry, we attract angry energy.  When we live our lives unconsciously, we attract unrecognizable events and people to us.   The more awake and aware we are the more we can put our intention out and watch it manifest into a life we desire and deserve.
I wonder if your Grandson was being literal when he said &quot;I Love you Grandpa&quot;   and YES.... some of the reason he loves you is because you took him to the store and that felt like love.  When you took him to the store, you put him first and he was acknowleging that - you focused your intent and attention on him which made him light up in recognition of that energy and it felt like LOVE (Namaste).
I know for me.... when I withhold love from myself or others I feel less than who I know I can be, less potential, grumpy, ..... I could go on and on.   
So, LOVE is the answer for all of us...when I say or do something loving to myself or others (like drop my stuff and take them to the store), I create chemicals in my brain that give me more of a good feeling than the recipient.  I kinda like that!!
Thanks, Claudia</description>

		<description>Hi Claudia,

Nice sentiment. And...

Love (verb) - 1) a poorly or undefined term used to control others; 2) often confused with want or desire. Ex: &quot;I love you&quot; and &quot;I just love banana bread...&quot;

Love (noun) - 1) a poorly or undefined term often used to manipulate and control others; 2) a meaningless romantic term often used in an attempt to fulfill desires. Ex: &quot;Love is all we need&quot; and &quot;You are the love of my life.&quot;

It occurs to me that the word &quot;love&quot; has been so distorted and over/abused that it literally has no useful meaning. For example, when my grandson told me the other day &quot;I love you, grandpa&quot; - what he really meant was, &quot;thanks for taking me with you to the store... I had fun!&quot; (appreciation for an action based on feelings of affection). I wonder what would happen if instead of simply saying, &quot;I love you,&quot; we were to open up and express how we are truly feeling. What a concept!

Lovers who fail to define their &quot;love&quot; for each other run a serious risk of not being lovers for long - because they each have differing definitions for &quot;love.&quot; For example, when she says, &quot;I love you&quot; - he might hear, &quot;you&#039;ve been a good boy today...&quot; (like when his mother would tell him that after he did some chore for her) or, &quot;It&#039;s okay for me to hurt you if I say this to you afterward...&quot; When he says, &quot;I love you&quot; - she might hear, &quot;you&#039;re acceptable to me at this instant in time - expect that to change when I find someone I like better...&quot; or &quot;I&#039;ve found someone else, so worry yourself about it...&quot; or &quot;I need sex from you...&quot; blah, blah, blah... In both cases, &quot;I love you&quot; probably means, &quot;I&#039;m feeling insecure with you - I need something from you - I want to control you...&quot;

I particularly like the &quot;I love you&quot; - &quot;I love you, too&quot; bit. OMG! Insecurity Central!

Personally, I don&#039;t like to hear the word &quot;love&quot; without an accompanying meaningful definition and discussion. Even so, some people&#039;s socio-economic weapon of choice is &quot;love&quot; - so, I think I&#039;d prefer to see us just stop using the word altogether for now - until we learn how to use it properly - which I&#039;m not fully convinced we are capable of doing (you can teach a dog physics, but I doubt he&#039;ll understand what you teach him). 

Considering we can&#039;t comprehend the meaning of &quot;unconditional love&quot; - often attributing it to our gods who bless some while cursing others - we&#039;ve got a ways to go before we can realistically and with meaning apply the reverential term, &quot;love&quot;. 

I hope we&#039;ll practice affection, appreciation, and respect with one another. Perhaps if we were to view each human as the unique creature each of us is - realizing that in all the universe, there is ONLY ONE of each of us - that that high level of uniqueness might change the way we view ourselves and others. 

Perhaps, &quot;I value you because...&quot; may have more meaning than &quot;I love you.&quot; &quot;I prefer [some item or behavior you like very much] because...&quot; rather than &quot;I love [some item or behavior you like very much].&quot; 

I think it&#039;s definitely time to stop abusing the word and start communicating our feelings in a respectful manner (meaning we start with an underlying and overarching high value for each other and separate the value of our personhood from the behaviors we exhibit). 

Rapid Eye Technology and its accompanying Skills for Life are a good starting point, in my opinion. There is SO much more...

		<description>Joseph,
Thank you for your comment.  I agree 100%.   Rapid Eye is unique in its approach and amazing in it&#039;s results.  We will spend time here talking about the specifics of Rapid Eye and the body-mind connection as a self awareness tool.
Thanks, Claudia</description>

		<description>Claudia -
I think the results of RET to me have been a distinct lessening of blind ambition, envy, negative pride, and selfishness. On the other side, I&#039;ve experienced a distinct increase in overall sense of well-being, strengthened relationships that count, increased vitality, and an intense love of life (as well as an appreciation for all life forms). Some might call this a spiritual awakening. Whatever you call it, it seems to be permanent. Further, I&#039;ve learned concepts and tools that have helped me keep my inner peace.
Warmly,
Joseph Bennette
