JOSE ATID LENA STEVENS 37remember me, but I'm your friend. I'm going to help you
out. Don't worry about being late. I needed that delay
because I'm not quite ready for you. I needed to receive
an important letter that makes it possible for us to pro-
ceed. In fact, I was ready to turn you down until I got this
letter. Take your time."Jon was able to relax during the delay and upon arriving,
he discovered that something like his vision had happened.
He and Mr. Cormick hit it off like old friends. And although
Mr. Cormick had received no letter, he had gotten an impor-
tant phone call that had made the deal possible. Seeing the
big picture is the shamanic forte.
Finally, the truly hidden benefit of shamanic advisement is
that the more you practice it, the more humane and compas-
sionate you will become. You may think that these attributes
have no place in your world, whatever it may be, yet the
truth is that you will not truly succeed unless you develop
compassion for yourself and others. This does not mean
playing a sucker or martyr role but rather being cognizant of
what you and other people need in order to feel safer and
truly cared about. Only when you have achieved this state
will you be truly successful.
