Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hi, friends of TWoBK, i know this list from the year 2005 when i´d read it almost throughout the whole year !!!... enjoyed it a lot ( i still remember some names: Roslyn, !) The Work has had a great impact on my life, just amazing! After a while it seemed i didn´t need to sit down and write worksheets any more. No more " shoulds " ... Also Eckhart Tolle has influenced me a great deal, i´ve been reading his books during the last six months continuously. So i wondered why i´m often feeling so tired (recently ... not really liking my job, struggling to get something " good " out of it but most of the time feeling rather frustrated ...) remembering saying that if there ´s stress or some kind of negative feeling it can only be because of what you think ( a thought you have not inquired into)! But i couldn´t identify a thought or believe to inquire into. Then, last night, it suddenly occured to me that i seem to believe the following: I NEED MORE TIME !!!! There we are!!!! Yes, i do think that i need much more time. I´ve got a number of good ideas, projects even,waiting to be realized, but i feel i´m unable to realize them because of lack of time! That´s very funny - after having listened so much to and agreed with Eckhart Tolle (and as well) that the past and the future DO NOT EXIST ! They say time is an illusion. Then, how can i " need " time, if it doesn´t exist??? So, the TA is found easily: I don´t need time (to realize my projects). Yes, i agree there´s no need to " need " time, because TIME is not the problem, time cannot be " needed " !!! At this point i felt relieved last night, immediately. Only today ... again i feel somehow stuck. What would be your suggestions? Love and Thanks, Rosemarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hi Rosemarie, Welcome back to the group. My suggestion is to find out what beliefs or thoughts are feeling true for you and do the work on them - about you, your body (tiredness), your job, whatever comes up. On your first thought, there's maybe an associated belief that " I need to realize my projects " - that could be inquired into - some possible turnarounds after the 4 questions could be: I don't need to realize my projects (3 reasons why it's better if they don't happen - for you and others?) I need to realize me (3 examples of that?). Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm not sure either :-) For me, " I need to realize me " includes doing the work on stressful beliefs - realizing where I get in the way of living a happy, peaceful life. Also see who/what I really am, rather than what I think I am in any one moment. What it brings up for me is how I can believe I need something other than what I've got right now - like needing more money - and in that moment I'm going after something other than realization.

I´ve got a number of good ideas, projects even,waiting to be realized, but i feel i´m unable to realize them because of lack of time! Good ideas, projects even, waiting to be realized - to me that's all just thoughts. Sounds like you have goals. Sometimes I find myself wanting to achieve something, then when I become aware I'm stressing about it, I just think - I'll happen when/if it's meant to. It just will, actually without my effort most likely. Sounds like sometimes you carry a heavy load. Put it down. No need to haul it around. Oftentimes I look to little child, how they live. They're so in the moment and exuberant most of the time. They don't have a list of projects weighing them down. Maybe re-connect with that child within you. Also, I'm starting to change the word 'work' into 'play' whenever I can. Perhaps you could do the same with 'project'?

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Good morning! Thank you! I get to look at who I am without these stories myself! " I am tired. " " I don't like my job. " " I have to struggle. " " Some things are " good. " " I need to get something " good " " " I need to get something " good " out of my job. " " I feel frustrated. " (Check, is that it?) And on time, there is a Celtic saying. I would alter it somehow about the created bit, but. . . " When God created Time He/She/It/God of my understanding made enough of it. " - Celtic Saying Or " You are not really capable of being tired, but you are very capable of wearying yourself - the strain of constant judgment is virtually intolerable.
