Hello Every One; and, I hope everyone is here? January 29: Thursday, 8:30am Please respond by either: 1) under lates comment: select "comment", then "reply" 2) at bottom of heirarchy tree: select "Initial Post Thursday Morning", then, reply".
I have been using a phrase, "What is the worst that happen?" to overcome strong thoughts of "doing nothing is best." However, it seems that my use of the phrase has become a bad habit illuminated within the section "The Power of Inquiry" (page 135 in paperback, perhaps 125 in hardcover?). The sections are very specific, and, hopefully useful.
I agree. This section has taken me down the "rabbit hole" of unacknowledged beliefs that influence many of my choices.
Brach mentions Katie Byron's book, Loving What Is. (could not find a way to underline the book title) My brother had given me this book awhile back. Helps to elucidate and to go more deeply into non-judgemental inquiry.
Hi there, Thanks Do. I never blogged before so this is cool. I don't know how to set it up but would like to. And I didn't even have to log in to my gmail account.
Well, I haven't read the section you are both referring to so I can't contribute right now. I really just wanted to see if it would work. Now I know it does, so I'll be back later.
Thank you Bernice for responding. This blog might be easier if you save the website "http://usnhbuddistmonday.blogspot.com/" using the save to favorites with the yellow star located at the top-right between the house and gear (Home and Settings).
The section is within Chapter Eight. Perhaps the Mahandas Ganhdi quote at the beginning is a topic for discussion?
Hi Do, It's a bit after 7. I appreciate our effort here but will not contribute further.. ..thinking our kind of conversation is best done face to face. I don't want to stay focused on this through the next two hours to see if anyone comments. I've got a sewing deadline and need to turn my attention there. Interesting to learn how this works. Thanks for the opportunity.
