My contention if there is one with
the DL, et al, is that they think "anyone" can, which as you
know is
BS...not because maybe they couldn't, but because they
won't...or wouldn't...
Buddha, et al, have had more than 5,000 years to prove their
point, they can't...and if you look at most of the societies,
they are just as human as ours...if not more inhumane!
What has proven its point is creative evolution and for 4.5
billion years, we are it...and I guess you can see that better
than I can!
Buddha, et al...’ all of
this' is based on "practice" or "will" or "discipline"
and or faith, AND they are having good luck with 1-5%
of the population..., as I am <G>...
Certain people have needs that are aligned with this work,
most don't...and while we adopt a million habits, changing our
habits --> not a bad thing sometimes --> doesn't change our
inbornness...as
BS thinks! We are not either our
behavior or our habits, because both develop in the alchemy of
life, most of which is culturally influenced...which proves to
be the hardest thing to understand about FLOS, and it's
emphasis on inbornness, but reliance on cultural
scaffolding...hmmmm.
In the case of certain eastern disciplines...does it work for
those whose natural desire is to promote the death of desire?
--> A resounding yes!
Does 'Tony Robbins' work for about the same amount --> 1-5%
--> a resounding yes...
Each success/belief system over time will produce/attract a
set of devotees...and if it doesn't, I would be skeptical
until it did...even then, James Jones would have been a
mistake...or the rocket ship folks...or was it? Maybe
they have lived their own destiny...and that’s been happy for
them? Who said to be happy, you had to live a long life?
Nevertheless, we all think it don't we...because BS has
conditioned us to believe that we will be happy "when"...
That’s why there are travel
brochures to "someday isle"!
All kidding aside...or not?

Action Step:
The Secret? Waking into your
life each day, and breathing in and out Happiness AND Success.
Whatever produces that alignment for you is most
EES, IMHO.
Contemplate this, make life easy, less and effortless, but
don't leave the effort out of effortless, unless of course you
are fanatically passionless, always a reminder to us
striving, that striving in and of itself has no real value,
and always produces more noise than signal. |
