Question
Hi Laurie,
What kinds of experiences could make a person got into "no sympathy" (1.2) on the tone scale? It's a very low-level emotion but one that I seem to spend 75% of my life in.
Also, without auditing, how much of a higher tone (from your regular tone) can you permanently achieve?
That's hard to guess. Anything that drives one down tone, drives them down tone - if you catch my meaning.
It occurs to me it might be an easy default tone level to be at, in avoidance of pain. The tones right below pain,(anger, hate, resentment) take a good deal more energy than "no sympathy" does, and tend not to be as safe.
But how a person gets there is totally a matter of the person's own unique case.
