Guest guest Posted February 22, 2002 Report Share Posted February 22, 2002 Interesting! I was asked a long time ago by a shrink to say something nice about myself-looked and looked -finally I said I had nice teeth! Today I can say a lot of things nice about myself . I have an ability to accept and see into other peoples problems that is an attraction to others. People come to me with their " sufferings " and I offer them my ear and a lot of questions ( but never offer advice unless they are suicidal). Chuck ---------- To: Loving-what-is Subject: Re: Re: Something Nice Date: Thu, Feb 21, 2002, 2:52 PM that's cute- i was going to ask my husband the same thing! meanwhile you could turn around what you said about carol.... love laurie Re: Something Nice Still battling with the 'something nice'. Can't seem to find anything about 'me' that can truly be said, on close scrutiny, to be real. It sort of dissolves as I look at it. Can I, meanwhile, say something nice about Carol? She has a brilliant sense of humour. I find it wonderfully liberating and she often makes me laugh out loud. I feel like that woman of popular legend who, on being asked which party she was going to vote for, said, " I'll have to ask my husband. " I will come up with 'something nice' - but I'll have to wait till my husband comes back on Sunday from his 10-day retreat and see what he suggests.

Chuck<< Hi Chuck. Do you ever advise them to go ahead? I think it's on one of 's tapes that she talks about her cousin calling her. He was going to kill himself unless she could give him a reason not to. She thought about it and after awhile she told him she couldn't come up with a single reason. He was grateful to her for her honesty, *and* he didn't do it. But I'm not sure I'd try this one at home just yet!

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Something nice about me? Of course there is a lot to say about " my " character and activities. That's how this illusion of Michiel appeared, I like that illusion. Total self-centered, going my way, always in a good feeling, loving my children and partner and my friends, my dog, all the ones who are dancing with me. And love is not a feeling separated from other feelings for me, it's a mix of clarity, rest and wakefulness. I love my recognition of clarity, or in clarity there is that lovingly feeling, the friendship with live. I think I shall give lessons on meditation all my live. And if not, what ever shall come is better than that. I write a book about natural meditation, and a book over " being with children in a unconditional loving state " . I love my clear and simple expressions of the ultimate goals. In Dutch off course, English I am learning here. That recognition of clarity is of course the only thing what is really important, all the other things, may chance. In the light of love, what can happen? Only love. And if there are bad feelings, I love them also, so not, thank you for that, that's something to learn. Love Michiel ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2002 Report Share Posted February 25, 2002 Dear Michiel, " And if there are bad feelings, I love them also " How beautiful for you. I think that sums up this entire journey home.I notice that when I am able to hold these states lovingly, gently as a mother would hold a hurting child, they truly do seem to dissolve into that love or at least the gentleness comes to the forefront and I end up being grateful for the experience and this opportunity to love a previously 'unlovable' part of me. I love the content of your book 'Being with children in an unconditional loving state'. It reminds me of how the child in me wants to be held in an unconditionally loving space and the ego likewise. I had the thought you could translate small (tiny!) passages from your book and we could use them as a reminder of how to be with ourselves and the ego.

To be totally self-centered in a true way. It's gonna be interesting to see how that possibility plays out inside of " me " :-) Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2002 Report Share Posted February 26, 2002 Good luck my friend, from now on, you do only what you want to do. Lovely, no more thinking that there is something you don't want to do, in the present of doing. O yeah, that thought will be there sometimes, but you don't belief that. That could be freedom, isn't it? Joy Michiel > I enjoyed this Michiel.
