The following article was written by , a graduate of the most

recent School for The Work with Byron :

I am one of those people who thinks he can do things without training

or apprenticeship. Earlier in my life, as a lawyer, I hung my own

shingle only three months after passing the bar exam. Now in my

second career, as the Guitar Guy, I work as a singer,

guitarist, and songwriter for children (self-taught, of course). So

when I bought Byron 's Loving What Is from a Unity Church

bookstore, I was confident that I could learn The Work right out of

the book.

's technology for questioning thoughts--the four questions and

turnaround--are attractive to a legal mind. With my logical training,

I could maintain my focus on the original thought, answering if it

was true, how I react to it, and envisioning freedom from it, without

complicating the matter with more story.

What worked against me was my old lawyer habit of having an instant

answer to every conceivable question (I had developed this trick long

before I became a lawyer). I could easily fill out a Self-

Facilitation Worksheet without looking within. This is what I call

Placebo Work. Doing Placebo Work almost caused me to quit before I

had truly learned how to do The Work. After doing it regularly for

months, I was on the verge of saying The Work doesn't work for me.

Mercifully, 's June visit to the Wainwright House in New York

came just as I was wondering whether I should quit.

Read the rest of 's article somewhere?????

Thought this relevant to the health warning I like posting sometimes,
