Guest guest Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 *Work* is a very powerful techinque taught by Byron Katie. <http://www.thework.com> Doing " work " many times, reminds me of books that I read on " positive thinking " and " optimism " ! It especially reminds me of one book that I read as a child. As far as I can remember, this gave many positive ideas including: - Whenever you feel unlucky, deprived and unfortunate - remember three things that you are really glad to have. - Whenever you find a place bad, uncomfortable, unpleasant - notice three things that you like about this place. - Whenever you find a situation helpless, frustrating, sad - think of tree positive things that you can do here, think of three positive things that you can learn from this situation. - Whenever you find a condition unfavorable and challenging - notice three ways it can help you grow. - Anytime you get angry at a loved one - remember three things that you like about him/her! After remembering three good things about him/her, say what you want to say if you still find it necessary or useful. - Anytime you get angry at your parents - remember three great things that they have done for you. - Anytime you get angry at a friend - remember three incidents in which this friend has been nice to you. - When a stranger cuts you off, insults you or treat you badly and you feel bad about the society and the mankind - remember three incidents in which people has been really nice to you. And, lastly... - Before you fall asleep in the night – notice three things for which you feel thankful to God. - When I wake up in the morning – remember three great things that GOD has given you that you are still have are grateful for. Many times, when I do " work " and come to " turn around " ; I feel like visiting same place and learning same lessons all over again! ---------------- *Work* Four Questions 1. Is it true? 2. Can you absolutely know that it's true? 3. How do you react when you believe that thought? 4. Who would you be without the thought? And remember to turn it around.

" All other spiritual " work " is folly -- compared to this. At best, it leads to this.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
