Is the idea to learn to live with the crap, or jettison it for the crap that it is? Or something else? ----------------- Related to this topic and the short but recent Hitler thread, I just finished reading Chapter 3 of Robert Perry's _Path of Light_, which describes the levels of the mind according to the Course in Miracles. It describes in brutal terms how the ego protects its turf. It's not pretty. In nutshell, if I understand it correctly, we put on innocent faces to hide our rage, which itself comes from the ego's need to attack. (Attacking is how the ego gains ground, thereby sustaining itself.) But beneath the ego is adequate awareness to see how dastardly those behaviors are, and in that awareness dwells a tragic guilt. Not quite the bubble diagram, eh? Hence the Course's emphasis on forgiveness, and piercing the illusion of the ego. I didn't do justice to the epiphany that chapter can produce. People interested in uncovering their mind games might enjoy reading it. - Patrick Gillam To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
