re: Doing The Work on Self-judgments

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone; I'm just popping in to clarify something...hope I'm not

being redundant, I haven't read every single of the posts on this topic.

There seems to be some confusion over whether it's okay to question

" I " thoughts. never says not to do The Work on yourself; quite

the contrary. She does suggest that beginners point The Work outward,

and not to write a JYN worksheet on yourself (your body is okay, since

the body isn't " you; " she calls it an outside source).

In the course of doing The Work, self-judgments will come up as

underlying beliefs, which you can take to inquiry.

There's a whole chapter on doing The Work on self-judgments in Loving

What Is (p. 144 in the paperback edition). Here's a quote from that

chapter that sums things up nicely:

" If you've been following the instructions and have done The Work by

pointing the finger of blame outward, you will have noticed that your

judgments of others always turn back toward you. When those

turned-around judgments feel uncomfortable, you can be sure that

you've hit a belief about yourself that you haven't investigated

yet....As you become fluid with the four questions and turnaround,

you'll begin to discover for yourself that The Work is equally

powerful when the one you're judging is yourself....The Work deals

with concepts, not people. "

Love,

Carol
