Hmmm .... she may have said that she really wanted to hear your projections, but I still would not have shared them if I had even the smallest thought that they could have hurt her. Before I shared my projections of someone being proud, critical, boring etc. I would inquire and see if they were really true. Could have saved both you and your girlfriend a lot of suffering.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Hm... I am surprised that none of you (especially love, of course) remarks how confused he would be if he believed he could actually hurt another person... Oh, well. Actually, I believe it is better to be honest with someone than trying to fool him into liking me by not saying what I think. Wasn't it you, work, who said that doing the work could hinder you of taking action? Now you suggest to do the work instead of sharing the feelings? It did not sound to me that Uvie was stressed, but rather freed from pressure. Oh, well, what do I know?

Yes, we all know that no one can be effected by anything except their thoughts, but that does NOT give us a blank cheque to say anything we like! Here are the passages again, since it appears that you missed them in my original post " If I think that saying something to you would hurt your feelings, I don't say it. I don't go past my own projected boundaries. I stop because I don't want to feel the guilt of my own story. I can't know that it would hurt your feelings. I stop for my sake. And I don't live my life being careful about what I say. I simply take responsibility for my own heaven or hell. " " It's not possible for me to hurt another person with my words. (Please don't try to, believe this until you realize it for yourself.) If you ask me point blank for the truth, then I'm going to tell you what I see. I want to give you everything that you ask for. The way you receive my answer is the way you hurt you with it or you help you with it. I'm just giving you what I've got. You asked.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 LTWOBK, If you were honestly asking where you might have been perceived to be arrogant, these are the words that seemed so (below) to ME. And this is even though I AGREE with your point. Perhaps working with words is not your usual forte, here are the ones that jumped out as judgmental or overkill (put in caps since the bold or italic doesn't seem to work). My thought when I read your post was that I wished you would be more gentle with new people--or, speaking only for myself, me--in terms of helping them (me) to grasp the philosophies. And, come to think of it, how do I know you didn't? ;-) I'll have to see. And I'm glad you're here, even if for me to see my projections. Karin Hi Uvie, I think you REALLY need to look A LOT more closely at what being honest REALLY means. Since you have " All war belongs on paper " I would direct your attention to following quote from the book. *snip* Please note that does not GO AROUND TELLING OTHERS " Oh ... you are too critical " or " Oh ... you are too proud " . Firstly because they did not ask her for what she sees, and secondly because she would not go beyond her own story about what would hurt someones feelings. MAYBE you MAYlearn from this experience and ask YOUR NEXT GIRLFRIEND if she really wants to know the " truth " , before you DUMP your unquestioned projections onto her. > > > > Hm... > > > > I am surprised that none of you (especially love, of > > course) remarks how confused he would be if he > > believed he could actually hurt another person... > > > > Oh, well. > > > > I did not feel the need to mention that point because > had already made that clear in the passages I quoted.

She said to share what you had realized about YOURSELF (turn arounds) not your judgements of them. If someone has an adequate understanding of the Work it may be helpful for them to hear your judgements of them, but only to see if there is anything left for them to do the Work on. In this case one would not expect the sharing to hurt the recipients feelings. Have a beautiful day " Sanity doesn't suffer, ever . . . ever! Sanity doesn't suffer, ever, ever! Isn't that lovely?
