If you bounce, you will be unsubscribed

[Guest guest]

A day without deleting e-mail is a day without sunshine.

If you read all the e-mail you get from the CureDrive, you're probably wasting

your time -- valuable time that could have been spent curing things, or going

for a swim. Or petting your cat, or any of a thousand other productive

activities. Even if you read the ones you need, you're probably wasting your

time, because you should actually be testing through them for the exact things

you need to hear, and discarding the rest.

It's the same with the college -- it can be fun to read around in the college,

just to hear things, or for entertainment. The things I write, and my audios,

do have a certain entertainment value; I try to give them that, and some people

really enjoy doing that. There's nothing wrong with entertaining yourself in

any way you see fit. But it's not the way to cure things.

You cure things by finding the exact things you need in the college -- the exact

lessons, talks, whatever -- and doing them. Notice I don't say listening to

them, or reading them, I say doing them. You do them. What you do cures you,

what you read or hear doesn't, even if it could be curative if you did it. That

distinction has been lost on many people who came in here, which is why they're

not here anymore.

And if you let your e-mail pile up, at some point you will reach the capacity of

your e-mail program, or service, and your e-mail will start bouncing, and the

CureDrive will automatically unsubscribe you. You'll be what's called a

" bouncing member. "

I love that term, don't you?

So test through your e-mails and delete them. Take what you can from them, and

then delete the one you got it from. Or if you really feel like you need to

save that -- it saved your life so you want to save it -- you've just got to

read it again in a few weeks, to see what else you can get out of it -- okay,

just save it in a way that doesn't cause you to bounce. Even if bouncing

appeals to you.

Sounds good, but it probably feels bad. No, it actually does feel bad, because

I, myself, have made this mistake, and bounced, and it was a real pain when it

happened. I had to go to the trouble of re-subscribing myself to my own e-mail

list, if you can believe that.

This is how you stay connected to God, the rest of us, and your ability to cure,
