The Buddha on ‘Oberservation’
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not
belie ve in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.”

‘Positions within relationships and the field you create ‘
I introduced a concept at yesterdays *workshop to bring awareness to the positions each of us hold in our relationships. Have you taken time to consider the unique individual position you and yours have and how these positions are separate and overlap to those around you? After introducing this I led the participants through some awareness exercises to directly experience being in the center of their universe while in their conversations. These exercises follow a pattern for both the speaker and listener to experience and stay in the center of their universe.
In these dialogue exercises a field was created that was their direct experience and felt by those around them. Think about the following Rumi’s quote and consider, if you are still in judgement thinking of right and wrong what the field is that you are creating in your relationships. What is your direct experience and that of others as they connect with you or share in the field around you?
“Out beyond right doing and wrong doing there is a field, I will meet you there. ”
*These workshops are designed with the intention to share how to turn disconnection into connection and to bring personal awareness to how ones personal communication habits impacts direct experiences. For more information on how to take part go to link.
Self-acceptance
Self – Acceptance
First, come into the present. Flash on what’s happening with you right now. Be fully aware of your body, its energetic quality. Be aware of your thoughts and emotions.
Next, feel your heart, literally placing your hand on your chest if you find that helpful. This is a way of accepting yourself just as you are in that moment, a way of saying, “This is my experience right now, and it’s okay.”

Moshe on learning
“…self-knowledge through awareness is the goal of reeducation. As we become aware of what we are doing in fact, and not what we say or think we are doing, the way to improvement is wide open to us.”
