I wonder if the WORK will work on our problems in the world?
I am having an interesting dialogue with someone regading gun control and carry conceal...
I don't know if any of you have heard of Byron Katie? She has this process she calls the WORK. Kind of interesting process actually. Simple.. Asking questions regarding whatever issue you may have and turning it around. It is similiar to Eckert Tolle and examination of the MIND and our THOUGHTS and how our THOUGHTS control us... and why it makes us miserable. (as you can see from my own LJ Rants recently).
So Here:
What is The Work?
The Work is a simple yet powerful process of inquiry that teaches you to identify and question thoughts that cause all the suffering in the world. It's a way to understand what's hurting you, and to address your problems with clarity.
People who do The Work as an ongoing practice report life-changing results.
Alleviation of depression: Find resolution, and even happiness, in situations that were once debilitating.
Decreased stress: Learn how to live with less anxiety or fear.
Improved relationships: Experience deeper connection and intimacy with your partner, your parents, your children, your friends, and yourself.
Reduced anger: Understand what makes you angry and resentful, and become less reactive, less often, with less intensity.
Increased mental clarity: Live and work more intelligently and effectively, with integrity.
More energy: Experience a new sense of ongoing vigor and well-being.
More peace: Discover how to become "a lover of what is."

How to Do The Work
The simplest way to do The Work is outlined below:
Judge Your Neighbor
For thousands of years we’ve been told not to judge, but we still do it all the time-how our friends should act, whom our children should care about, what our parents should feel, do, or say. In The Work, rather than suppress these judgments, we use them as starting points for self-realization. By letting the judging mind have its life on paper, we discover through the mirror of those around us what we haven't yet realized about ourselves.
