But here again, that could be > about me From over here you are so quick to notice...then discount the noticing. What is true, is what is true for you - I like it when we honor that. Your statements point at what for me is an underrated emphasis in the work. The four questions are easy. Facilitating - that's a whole nother ball park. For me, Noticing facts isn't the same as inquiry. I notice that people parrot -isms on this board. That seems to be a fact. How this makes me feel for me is the story. I notice that there is a contingincy that is only here to offer " advice " or " help " or " facilitate " and not actually do the work themselves. Pretty factual. My story is that for me it is sometimes helpful, most of the time not because people do not facilitate in the way that intended people to be facilitated. I'm discovering facilitating is the harder role to fulfill which only illustrates my level of emotional trash. When I facilitate, I abandon myself. doesn't. She stays with herself - out of the other person's stuff. Her questions only serve to take you deeper into your stuff so that you can have richer realizations. I notice that I feel every facilitation on this board comes across to me with an agenda. > > heal (undo stories) and return to the realization of your beingness - > > higher self. > > And, one of my deepest longings since childhood, > has been for a loving, kind, compassionate parent who loves me unconditionally. I think that this is what we are all looking for - that unconditional love blessing. That's why I'm so critical and judging of all this stuff in my life that is so conditional for gosh sakes!!!! > Reminds me of > my internal judge and advice giver, and one of those is plenty thank > you very much.

Yes, I'm finally getting that the hard self that I've used to protect me all my life was merely protecting an egoic system and defenselessness, true defenselessness is a much nicer place to be.
