The Work of Byron Katie uses the principle of the second element, if you will. It uses the light to remove the darkness. By my remarks I meant she doesn't deal directly with attachment points. I like stuff that uses the principle of the second element. The point of my post was to say that sometimes, however, dealing directly with the dirt can be a good idea.
