Wrong Turns - To

[Guest guest]

Good Morning ,

Several times I read the questions that you wrote to and to

which she has not yet responded. I would be most interested in her

response. Please let me know when she does response won't you?

After reading your questions several time, they are still resonating

in my thinking. I can find those same questions in me. I have gone

to the website www.thework.com and entered the new addition, her

blog. I scrolled way down to the archives secions and have watched

several of the videos in the archives. I am doing that just to

get " a dose " of the " energy " of the work. I watched one video The

Work In Prison and came out with a personal gem " when you disagree

with reality, you are disagreeing with God! " That awakened some

curiosity in my body - whew.

I then read the article that she wrote in AARP about Quit Your Pain.

I wonder if I am addicted to pain, anger, depression, feeling like a

victim of circumstance...to all that because it is familiar and from

that vantage point, safe. When I am being facilitated in the Round

Robin forum or I am posting a self-facilitation on the Doing-The-

Work yahoo group, the question, " What do I fear would happen if I

let go of this thought " is always an interesting challenge.

Frequently, I can't even come up with an answer. I'm in a quandry!

So again, I have no answers, just more questions. Are my questions

from my " false self " as a way to stay in control and continue to run

my life? Does my true self even HAVE questions? When I am in

the " state of love " am I clear and so peaceful that questions don't

arise? I heard say that she hasn't had a negative thought for

many years. When someone says something negative to her or about

her, she just becomes curious rather than defensive. A friend of

mine has become so internally referented that she too just allows

life to " live her " ...just doing the next thing in front of

her...living in the now. She has very few preferences and feel

happy most of the time even with various challenges that arise.

Oh, I'm prattling on and on. I just wanted you to know that I am

witness to your questions and can find them in me as well.

Blessings,

beth
