Gill Edwards and Rabbi Brickner left their bodies years ago. Wayne Dyer went last year. So I choose to be guided by M. Tamura, Tato Malay and of course my husband Emil who are still alive. I aspire to be like Sylvia Boorstein who tuned 80 last month.
Sylvia wrote about meeting challenges: “…I relax see what my options are and choose the best of them. I won’t always be pleased but I’ll be happy.”
I learned some practical guidelines from Gill Edwards: “Whenever we talk of using will power…we mean declaring war upon the Basic Self. And it doesn’t work. Eventually, the Basic Self fights back. And feeling out of control…”
“What we resist, persists.”
“The only long-term solution is to co-operate, to befriend your enemy and realise it was trying to help you all along. (The enemy is not any external force; it is a challenge from the Basic Self)
M. Tamura has warned against judging ourselves lest we split into the one who judges and the one judged.
Boorstein is ever so kind: “Sweetheart, you are in pain. Relax. Take a breath. Let’s pay attention to what is happening. Then we’ll figure out what to do.”
