Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hey Tami, If you are looking for notes on some of the shorter videos, I did write out the dialogues for some videos and post them on the Byron blog (www.byronkatie.com) underneath the videos - you can find them by searching for the video title on the blog and they are in the comments for the entry. I originally did them following a request from someone that was deaf for notes on the videos, but once I started I found it a very useful way of really getting into what was being said - having to listen and write it down really seemed to help me. So, if that's what you are doing, don't let me stop you - and if not, some notes are available already :-) With love and thanks, Jon x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hungry, I have not eaten for 2 days now, and I am not sure from where my next meal will come. I can always ask people on the street: " I am hungry, will you feed me NOW " Last time I did that, on the street (of Belgium), 10 times, they (the people I approached on the street) ignored me. Not true, one woman gave me a small sandwich. And it was too small to be satisfied. True, I bomed into you, 2 hours later, And you did fix me meal, Yet, I do have the story that you will not always be there for me As I am hungry Just some thoughts :-) T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 yes, AND i would just as soon have the money and the peace ;-) -lisa Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray. Rumi Subject: I Need More Money To: Loving-what-is Date: Tuesday, July 22, 2008, 3:46 AM Here is another video I wrote notes about... Did you know that no one has more money than they have? Notice your life without the thought " I need more money " . Because there are 2 ways to live your life: one is stressed out and the other is not. Either way, you don't have more money than you have. I need more money, turn it around: I don't need more money. Now why would that be true? Let's start from this moment right here, right now, which is the only place you are ever going to be. So right now in this moment, turn it around: I don't need more money. Now why is that true, right here, right now? Because you are living ok, right now. I invite you if you are ever stressed out over money, just to notice. You need more money, right here, right now, is that true? I invite you to imagine yourself being evicted from your home, and they already driven your car away, they have taken everything from you because you couldn't pay your bills. Now close your eyes and imagine yourself sitting on your neighbor lawn looking at what used to be your house, OK? Now, notice where you are sitting… now ask your self, get real, you need more money, right now in this moment, is it true? Do you need more money at that moment? Are you ok? You are sitting where you are sitting, the sky is beautiful, you are looking at what used to be your house and maybe you are feeling very grateful that you no longer have to pay the morgade. But seriously, who would you be without your story as you are sitting on the asfelt? As you notice the sky, the ground that is holding you, the breeze that you did nothing for it, it is a state of grace. So with or without money, we have the right to be happy. If peace is depended on harms and legs and houses and cars, there is no possibility of peace. But in my experience, peace has no conditions and it is a matter of what is true and what is not. The deferent between imagination and reality. And that is what this work is about. http://www.thework. com/video_ loss.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I don't know - that's for you to discover, if you want to. For me, I often find that behind a statement of 'fact' like " I am hungry " is a stressful " shouldn't be " - inquiring into the statement has me move from arguing with reality to taking action.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 A couple of weeks ago, I had an ear ache. It hurt, but it did not cause what I would consider suffering. Only my thoughts can cause me to suffer. Physical simply is. Having said that, Tami. I have no experience of real physical hunger. I used to fast for three days at a time for a strech back in my " religious days " , but it was voluntary and not because I lacked the means for food. I am not sure what I can offer from here to meet your physical need, and I offer the work for your thoughts because it is what I have to offer. In love, Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.
