We draw people and events to us like bees to honey on account of our images.
about this thing we call life… Something unfortunate happens—one of the many unavoidable hardships of life—and we make a generalization based on it. Roll things forward a while, and now we have a rock-solid, preconceived idea about the way things are. The only problem is, most of the time our conclusions are wrong…
They are really just our emotional reactions to life’s events. They are based on a certain limited child logic, but they are nonetheless in error. As we grow up, these wrong conclusions, along with the attitudes they sprout, sink out of our awareness. There, in our unconscious, they settle in and start molding how our life will look… The word the Guide uses to refer to these wrong conclusions is “images”…
The list of damages caused by images is practically endless… Here’s another way to know an image is at work. There’s a repetition of incidents we didn’t ask for and don’t want. Images always form patterns… We draw people and events to us like bees to honey on account of our images…
Jill Loree grew up in northern Wisconsin with parents who embraced their Norwegian, Swedish and German heritage. Foods like lutefisk, lefse and krumkaka were prepared every Christmas. And of course there was plenty of beer, bratwurst and cheese all year round.
She would go on to throw pizzas and bartend while attending college at the University of Wisconsin, and then moved into a career in technical sales and marketing. She would settle in Atlanta in 1989 and discover that the sweet spot of her career would be in marketing communications. A true Gemini, she has a degree in chemistry and a flair for writing.
One of Jill’s greatest passions in life has been her spiritual path. Raised in the Lutheran faith, she became a more deeply spiritual person in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) starting in 1989. In 1997, she was introduced to the wisdom of the Pathwork Guide, which she describes as “having walked through the doorway of a fourth step and found the whole library.”
In 2007, she completed four years of training to become a Pathwork Helper, and stepped fully into her Helpership in 2011. In addition to offering individual and group sessions, she has been a teacher in the Transformation Program offered by Mid-Atlantic Pathwork. She also led marketing activities for Sevenoaks Retreat Center in Madison, Virginia and served on their Board of Trustees.
In 2012, Jill completed four years of kabbalah training and became certified for hands-on healing using the energies embodied in the tree of life. She began dedicating her life to writing and teaching about personal self-development in 2014.
Today, Jill is the proud mom of two adult children, Charlie and Jackson, and is delighted to be married to Scott Wisler. She’s had more than one last name along the way and now happily uses her middle name as her last. It’s pronounced loh-REE. In 2022, Scott joined her full time in their mission to spread the teachings of the Pathwork Guide far and wide.
