Do you mean to say that I have a REMARKABLE ABILITY to go for CLEAN THINKING rather than foggy, unclear platitudes? If so, then I do THANK YOU. Or, are you just attempting to install shame and guilt into me? Shame on YOU! Tsk, tsk! > even when I am trying to communicate > with you, or reach some kind of middle ground. Why must we agree on anything? What causes that to be important to you? If someone told me the earth was flat, would we need to " reach some sort of middle ground? " Hopefully NOT. Again, this post is NOT about you. It IS ABOUT the topic of FORGIVENESS, and the TOPIC OF A SPECIFIC SET OF SKILLS anyone that is NOT brain-dead can easily learn and verify for themselves. YOU can go and fly a kite for all I care. YOU can do the drills, or ignore the drills. It's your boat that's sinking or floating, not mine. I float my own boat rather well. I will continue on the topic of FORGIVENESS regardless of you whining about me and at me, or not. > The truth is that other people in the group provided very >helpful info to me, and I will continue to work on my issue. That's a " truth " , how do you know it's not a falsehood? What " truth " specifically? What's the difference between a " truth " and a falsehood? Hold them both up infront of you and compare them. Notice the differences. How do you know what they are saying is a " truth " , and not a falsehood? What would happen if it wasn't a " truth " but a falsehood? Is it always a " truth " or is it always a falsehood? Should it be true, but what if it should be false? Not bad for you. Not bad for them. I do have many a good SMART friend (s) on this list. > If you were being honest, So, I'm not BEING HONEST? SO, I'm not BEING TRUTHFUL and PERSISTENT in what I'm teaching? You my dear female are again ATTEMPTING TO " INSTALL " SHAME IN ME! Why? you > would have to admit that communication is a two way street. No I don't. What if I don't want to, but want to do something else? Is that OKAY with you? Hopefully, yes? There is NEVER any communication unless there is also some personal experiences! In fact, all of us know something about communication. I'm talking about the communication of a successful strategy for FORGIVENESS, which will NOT work unless the skills are internalized and made a part of our automatic unconscious thinking patterns. You are attempting to explain away why you don't need to learn anything else and why what you do for " forgiveness " is good enough. Well, it might be good enough for you, but it is NOT good enough for my friends, my clients, nor my peers. So, I'm NOT bitching at you, but explaining to the group a specific strategy of FORGIVENESS that does work real well for those that DO THE DAMN DRILLS! You don't NEED TO DO anything! Nor do they. And I will give out very valuable procedures, and those 3% that actually read, study and DO THE DAMN DRILLS will learn a very LIFE ENHANCING SKILL in just hours! > That means that you have failed as much as I have. I know I've NOT failed, I get POSITIVE LEARNINGS from everything I do, even the writting of this post to this group. Now " if " I were attempting to give you POSITIVE LEARNINGS, then I'm sure not TOTALLY SUCCESSFUL with that, am I! And I know that I AM VERY SUCCESSFUL at most of what I do. Why do you think that " you are a failure " ? I've never noticed you " failing at all you do " . I actually thought that you were a rather smart female, that, if pointed in a more productive direction, could be someone RATHER SPECIAL! Did I make a mistake with that guess-timation? > I think you misunderstood me, and then > perhaps I misunderstood you too, because I was feeling mismatched. Yes, you did misunderstand me. And that's kool. I'm a big boy and I'm pretty secure in my knowledge, in my own values, criteria, and my LIFE PATH, doing what is really fun and exciting for me. >However, if you can't own any part in any communication, and your >only strategy is to make blaming statements, Sorry dear friend, I've NOT blamed anyone anywhere. And, there you go again, once more attempting to INSTALL SHAME in me. SHAME ON YOU! (As I point my finger at you!) That is YOUR CULTURAL FILTER of guilt and shame kicking into gear. So, since someone somewhere used that tactic successfully on you, you attempt to use it on others? Wow! Some of the people here (NOT you of course), might want to READ/STUDY that book by Harry Browne. Some of them (NOT you of course), might also want to learn a few skills of clear thinking so they can notice how unclear, foggy and downright stupid many people are. A couple of books that might help those that WANT THOSE SKILLS are... 1. " Taming Your Mind " by Ken Keyes, Jr. 2. and, " Influencing with Integrity " by Genie Z. Laborde. Why am I recommending these two books to this list? Good question! Because there are BETTER TOOLS besides the installation of 'guilt' and the installation of 'shame'. Some of the people here might really enjoy learning those other, more evolved tools. > then, you can keep on trucking. Thank you. I will, whether you like it or not. I do enjoy doing what I do, being whom I am, learning new and better skills daily, and sharing those specific skills with some real smart people...people that qualify BY DOING THE DAMN DRILLS! >I am not interested. Your therapy isn't therapeutic. What therapy? I'm NOT doing therapy. If I were doing therapy with you, you'd be paying me a whopping $450 bucks an hour! So, if I'm NOT doing therapy, then what am I doing? Good question! I'm having FUN! Too bad your NOT ENJOYING this as much as I am. Dr. John M.
