Expanding consciousness through a supportive environment

Asked generally how he can expand his consciousness, the Wonders use the image of a seed: planted in fertile ground it becomes a beautiful flower, thrown on arid land it must struggle.

They tell Frederic he habitually places himself in arid ground — not surrounding himself with supportive, loving, encouraging people — while trying to grow into who he is among people who tell him he cannot.

Their recommendation is to invest himself in an environment of like-minded people: poetry groups, writers' guilds, people interested in growing, and the community and online forum built around their own material, asking others for help and using the material available.

He should choose the fertile environment over the arid one, and step away from those who are critical of him, simply thanking them and going the other way.

The result will be that things become easier, life excitement grows and he looks forward to getting up in the morning.

He observes he can find such people quite close to home, which they confirm.
