The line between great suffering and agitation, and the state of joy and peace, is quite thin. I would like to propose that peace and suffering are a result of one thing...
Willingness.
I've discovered that for most people, the closer the relationship they may have with someone, the less they truly know them, and the less they know you. To truly know someone, we must witness or see them as they are in reality…The fact is, we all look at the world and others through a pair of proverbial 'glasses' so to speak. These glasses have tainted lenses. The closer you get to someone, the more you see them through your own set of lenses.
As a result of successfully completing this dynamic program, I can attest that I am a better coach, healer, and human being. I am more equipped now than ever before to take the next step forward in my work to end human suffering.
I've discovered that all human beings have a story about themselves. Much of this story is unconscious, and some of it is conscious. Our story is stored in the body / mind and is largely made up of two categories:
1. Past events and situations.
2. Perceptions about those events and situations.
When we are born, all of us are born into the context of someone else's story. This history (story rooted in the past) begins with our parents' stories. Our parents' history is the sum of the events and situations they experienced, and the perceptions about themselves based upon their conscious and unconscious perceptions of those events and situations.
Did you know that the word "fan" is a derivative of the word fanatic?
To say that someone is a fan of something is really just another way of saying that they are a fanatic about something. So, what does it mean to be a fanatic?
