Guest guest Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I met B. Katie. It seems to me that her solution is for those who like to manipulate attention, without caring for 'who' the manipulator is. It is based on th immature interest of mind, to 'arrive' at a result. Apart from that, the essence of her method refers to the mind's " Should/not be... " , which by the way is _only one_ mind-aspect J. Krishnamurti points to. But.... she must've made some good money on that single point (nicely organized for the 'me' to practice) while gullible folks would be 'amazed' at the " New " path... and how well 'it works... The world is a jungle, full of plastic 'holy grails'.
