Re: Being around others who are still stuck in unexamined stories

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I used to feel this way a lot, less so now - it had me realize I still

had many stories about what other people should and shouldn't do and

how they should be.

And how perfect that you have breaks - maybe enough time to fill in

some worksheets? :-)

I would inquire into " They are stuck in unexamined stories " and " They

shouldn't be stuck in unexamined stories " if I felt this way -

probably :-)

Much love,

Jon

okay now im worried.. if you dont like to be around

people stuck in stories.. i wonder if i will be

a drag to be around. I tend to be very stuck in

stories. still.. i dont do the work enough

im still in my old self help addiction routine.

i suppose had i just kept doing the work i wouldnt

need all the other stuff i read etc.

i dont mind people with stories as i have so many of my own. i guess

people enjoy complaining.

say, you think are better than them?

you think you are beyond that? you have no unexamined stories?

they are wrong? you are right?

can you not understand their stories?

my one personal problem is that im so confused .. because i believe

every story, and every turn around.. i dont know whats real anymore. i

can see everything as true and false at the same time.

i can't say that i have such a joy.. im the confusion stage.. we'll

see whats next.
