Dear Andy

Thankyou for your reply. So perhaps the Work is about accepting our

stressful thoughts as well? Or perhaps it's ultimately about

realizing that no thought is true and we are free to react as it's

best for us at the time?

Love JG

*****My experience is that The Work, what it is " about, " will vary

from individual to individual. I only speak of what is so for me. It

may find commonality with others. Or not. That is what I point to

when referring to the " infinite permutations of being. "

Stressful thoughts happen. I'll bet to Byron and " enlightened "

people. The question then is: how does one respond to stressful

thoughts? Of course, the first step is to become sensitive enough to

notice them before they wreck havoc on one's self and on others. I

have no idea how one becomes aware of them. It seems to me that

awareness either happens or it doesn't. It's not something we can

control. But, once there is a realization of stressful thoughts, what

is the most sane response? Again, it varies in time-place-

circumstance and from individual to individual. If the drive and

passion is there in JG, a Way will be discovered.

I would agree with you, that no thought is true. Thoughts are

biochemical/electrical energy arising in the brain. That's all they

are. And it is via those thoughts that reality is created for us.

The bottom line: we don't think thoughts; thoughts think/create us.

In the absence of thought there is no me, you, or the world. It is

all a creation of Consciousness.
