Re: Suffering in silence...

Hi Tami,

here's what my mind comes up with: would you also want to talk about

it if you knew that they are not interested?

Well,

we all may appear as if was our guru and we'd belong to some new age

cult,

maybe that's the truth.

But there is history in 's work,

Thales was one of the first who said that everything is water.

Water has a reflection in it, and reflections can be turned around,

so the entire work really started among one of the first philosophers.

Than there is the Mayan and Aztecan Black Mirror, where the universe was known

to be a black mirror, another turn around cult, very ancient, than there is

jesus who says turn around the mirror, LOL; I mean love your next and you love

yourself, again a turnaround.

There are turnarounds wherever you look, is this enough arguments for number

3??

My beliefs are if I talk about The Work people...

1) will be turned off by it

2) will think, " there goes Tammy, off on a self-help trip again "

3) will want to challenge/argue/debate with me about it (if you accept

what is, you never take action, etc.)

4) won't want to be my friends anymore

Number 3 hits home as the truest for me, so I guess this is really

about seeking the love and approval of others.

I can freely talk about other aspects of my life: work, church,

hobbies, but I feel very apprehensive about talking about my interest

in the Work with others...

A few days ago I told my partner I had joined this group. Afterward,

I felt like I had admitted to having an affair! (This was all purely my

mind going insane - she had no reaction to the announcement at all).

That's just the most extreme example of my self-created discomfort

around this subject.

Any input is appreciated.
