How often do we judging others in life? Parents, partners, friends… There is always someone who did not act the way we thought they should. But every time we judge, we are actually creating distance, from others, but also from ourselves.
A Movement of the Soul That Isolates
When we place judgment at the center of our attention, we give it a meaning that ultimately always leaves us alone. Every judgment, on any level, leads to deeper loneliness within ourselves.
It is that moment of envy and pride that arises when we believe someone else should have acted differently, especially when that situation involved us. By constantly judging others, we feed that internal separation.
The Trap of the Victim Role
Often, when we speak about others, we unconsciously make ourselves into a greater victim than we truly are. Why do we do this? Because in the role of the victim, a person often feels most comfortable.
It is easiest to label the other as the aggressor who attacks our moral or physical integrity. In that division, we are “right,” and they are “wrong.” But that need to be right is actually a mask for hurt and unfulfilled expectations.
The first step toward freedom is not to change others, but to see what is activated within us when we judge. A true Pure Love & Harmony connection with the world begins the moment we stop building walls out of judging others and start healing our own pride.
At Sasha Riess, we believe that true connection with our loved ones and our companions requires a heart free from barriers. Embracing a lifestyle of empathy and self-reflection allows us to live in pureloveandharmony. Discover more insights on deep harmony and growth here: Linktree Sasha Riess

Poverty as a survival strategy is not only an economic issue. It is a deeply rooted inner pattern. It does not arise by accident, nor is it maintained only by external circumstances. In many cases, poverty represents the way the body and nervous system try to remain in a familiar and “safe” survival zone.
Poverty as a Survival Strategy, Not a Coincidence
Poverty is often not the result of current circumstances, but a long term adaptive mechanism. Homeostasis, the natural tendency of the organism to maintain balance, does not change suddenly or radically.
When physiology has developed in scarcity, abundance is not experienced as safety, but as a threat. The body remembers what once meant survival and tries to return to that state, even when external conditions no longer require it. That is why sudden changes, such as unexpected wealth or rapid success, often lead to psychological collapse, loss of balance, or self sabotage.
Why External Changes Do Not Bring Lasting Security
There are solutions that sound like escape routes: money, a new beginning, a sudden gain. However, external circumstances do not change internal patterns. The inner structure travels with us wherever we go.
If a person does not know how to receive, nothing external will stay for long. If a person does not know how to live in stability, abundance becomes a burden rather than relief.
Poverty is often not a coincidence, but a deeply rooted survival mechanism.
Inner Homeostasis and Resistance to Change
Homeostasis does not recognize what is “good” or “bad.” It only recognizes what is familiar. When poverty has become a survival strategy in family or collective history, every step out of that pattern is experienced as a risk. That is why the body often pulls a person back into scarcity, even when the mind wants something different.
Peace Does Not Come from the Outside
Peace cannot be bought. Maturity does not arrive with financial gain. It appears in the moment we stop searching for rescue outside and begin to understand where we truly stand within. Only then can change become lasting, because it no longer threatens the inner sense of safety.

For years she did everything right, but her dog’s bloody diarrhea stopped only when she stopped lying to herself.
In the previous column, the story of Marija and her dog was shared—a case of chronic diarrhea lasting for years that stopped only when she stopped living against herself. That story left an open question: was it coincidence, or a repeating pattern that appears when unspoken truth within a system is suppressed for too long?
This column continues where the previous one ended. It brings the story of Snežana and her dog Bobi, and of a decision that had been postponed for years.
When Protocols Are Not Enough for a Dog’s Health
Snežana was not a woman who ignored problems. On the contrary, she was one of those who try everything, follow guidelines, and seek knowledge. When Bobi developed bloody diarrhea, she reacted immediately with veterinarians, analyses, and therapies.
When medical solutions proved temporary, she turned to a different approach. She followed rituals, adjusted nutrition, and changed ingredients used in cooking. Alongside this, she regularly attended online workshops of the Harmony Order.
Yet, despite everything being technically done correctly, Bobi’s symptoms did not disappear. There were short periods of improvement, but the blood always returned. It was as if the cause was not in what the dog was eating, but in what he was living inside.
The Harmony Order and the Unspoken Truth in the Marriage
From the outside, Snežana’s marriage looked stable—life abroad and professional success. There was no visible chaos, only a relationship of long silence. She believed enduring was the same as love, refusing to admit she could no longer live that way.
In such conditions, a woman often loses contact with herself. But the body does not understand the concept of cost; it responds to reality. The dog, sharing the same emotional climate, responds even faster. A dog’s health and the owner’s truth are inseparably connected.
Through the Harmony Order workshops, Snežana realized that a dog cannot be stable in a space where the central figure lives in constant inner conflict.
A dog’s health and the owner’s truth are inseparably connected.
A Decision That Changed the Nervous System of the Whole System
At the final workshop, Snežana shared her realization. She understood she could no longer lie to herself; if she wanted to help her dog, she first had to help herself.
The decision to divorce was not impulsive; it was the end of long-term denial. When she finally made the decision, everything changed. After the divorce, Bobi’s bloody diarrhea stopped almost overnight. The food remained the same. No new protocol was introduced. Only the life dynamic changed. The chronic tension disappeared, and as the woman’s nervous system calmed, the dog’s nervous system followed.
What Does the Health of Our Pets Tell Us?
This story does not claim that every health problem is caused by human relationships. It speaks of something more subtle: that sometimes symptoms do not withdraw until what continually creates them is changed.
In the Harmony Order, everyone has their place. When a woman stands in her rightful place, the dog no longer needs to carry what is not his.
This is not a story about divorce. This is a story about honesty. It is about the moment self-deception ends. The dog recognizes it first—not through words, but through the body.
It was never about the chips. It was always about the truth.
