Yet a whole other perspective, which CAN be worked with.

Hi, Me2. I'm taking very good care of me now, and intentionally going
slowly as you suggested, thanks.
Even in these few words of yours, I am beginning to see a whole other
perspective of the reality you are living in.
"Just *so*" is only a starting point for study. This training is not an
exercise in passivitly. When we have studied the "just so" and realized
who we are, experientially, in relation to the "just so," there may come
a time for taking intelligent actions in behalf of one's own growth.
I really like the exercise John the Younger suggested, and I wish you
would give it a try, simply to see whatever may show up. You have given
greatly to me and to this class. You have given greatly to others. It
is a *balaced* life that we are aiming at in the awareness game. John's
exercise can get you started doing something that is entirely
appropriate, which is giving to your own Being—balancing that out so that
you may even more be a competent master in the caring and giving that you
share.
It's ironic, but that other class on separate beds that I've been
promising has gone online in Classroom Talk, today. And that, I'm afraid
will offer you no more solace than my previous limited view—maybe even
more painful for you to read. Needless to say, the more you can teach me
of real experiences in your view of your life, the less likely I will go
off on tangents in projections that don't really pertain to your own
experiences of reality.
Thanks, Younger John, for piping in from the heart.
John
