Try Buddha's eightfold path for instance. Concerning K, I find his lectures tedious and uninteresting and at least in part, fraud. His thought follow the traditional patterns of self-inquiry so his ideas are not original, not that they have to be, to be helpful. If you get something out of his lectures, squeeze the lemon and get all the juice you can. My blessings. Larry Epston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how to return to the uncarved block once the sculpture is released, or how to make moldy cheese unmoldy. It can't be done. But if you as ego are bright and wise you can avoid situations that you predict will be painful, you can leave situations early, before they develop in something really bad, you can meditate to move to a quieter calmer self sense, etc. etc. The message is': Avoid Accidents then you won't have to repair the car or go to the hospital. Larry Epston Acceptance of what is/was neutralizes it. No suppression or avoidance required. Evolution is always about acceptance rather than control, struggle, defense, judgment, supression and avoidance. I would have thought that was obvious.
