Well then I extend my apologies to BK for using her technique in inappropriate ways. And apologies to any of her followers who were offended by such use. And thinking about it, her approach may not be optimal for what I was using it for: 1) identify and eliminate the seed of judgement within, that creates a monkey-mind inner chatter of judging this and that. 2) examine ones core assumptions about everything -- ones lifes' axioms. I have done this, as many have, about my TMO world view -- and its been quite healthy. Thus I unveil my method for doing such: The Wok -- a process that stir fries your judgements and core assumptions, making them fully digestable and delicious, enabling one to fully "clean their plate" of inner baggage. The Wok 1) identify things you make judgements about. Watch for monkey-mind chttering judgements through the day. Jot them down. 2) identify unexamined or untested core assumptions in your life. What do you beleive and why. Trace it back to core axioms upon which your world-view rests. For each judgements and assumption examine: 1) How do I know this is true? 2) Are these reasons of substance? (It may help to take my supplemental course on logical fallacies, cognitive errors, statistical significance, hypthotheses and theory) 3) How do you feel, how would your life and view(s) change if they were were false? 4) If "no change", then move on to the next issue. If it would change things, think through the chains of why. 5) Do steps 3 and 4 cause any visceral anxiety or sense of loss? Is there any sensation or feeling associated with that. If so, close the eyes and just be present with that. If it subsides, move on to next issue. If it does not subside, note it for future woking, and move on. 6) Enjoy a baggage free inner life. Or at least an inner life with a clean closet.
