(Menna) Okay, so, I've been introduced to the work about five years ago. I've practiced three or four things, like getting the correct knowledge, EE has had realizable progress in clearing negative emotions, and diet and lifestyle changes and staying away from drinking and drugs has also helped. My question basically is: Is there any other aspect of the Work I can do to help the process or make life more efficient?
A: Helping others to learn and put them on the step behind you.

I was wondering about how to do that outside of the Forum, but I do not have a lot of contacts these days. Then only a few days ago, a friend suddenly expressed interest in the sessions and forum! Truly amazing.
Thank you all again,
M.T.

A lot of persons in my environment still seem to sleep even if they become more aware about some few topics. I like a lot of them and I want keep connection with them. Therefore I do not want to rush this.
Mr. Premise said:MT, it's going to be pretty difficult to help people up the ladder outside the forum because most of them are not on the ladder at all and many don't even want to be. So why not focus on doing it on the forum?

(...) which I took as an expression of choice of the persons in question, and that choice is basically 'ignorance', and until they choose to, first of all 'look for the ladder', it's best to honour their choice/conserve your energy, unless they specifically ask you a question, which can sometimes be done by actions instead of words.
Serendipity said:EDIT: I find it interesting that many are indeed listening with a good degree of interest, even if not 100% attentively, but that is as far as it goes for them. Most would never do anything out of their own impetus and will, which means that on some level at least, they chose and continue choosing not to (know or do)! IMO.
Aiming said:Just a note that even if people ask a specific question, it again depends on the context. Asking with words can still mean it's not true asking, which one can find out soon enough by the way the conversation goes on, or later when they come to talk about the same problem, but haven't followed up on any of one's previous suggestions or pointers. They might for example have picked up on the fact that you like these topics and just want to talk to you, or they might just be "curious", want to be "entertained", or other things along these lines. So, it's also important to discern whether an explicit question is true asking, which is of course tricky, and add to that how good it feels to be helping and thinking 'There, finally someone who's open-minded', which can further blind us towards the person's real intent. So, outside the forum, and when in doubt, it's best to give just general pointers, like recommending books, articles, Sott, etc.
Maybe I just don't talk to people much :P Really it's true. Those who I talk with did appear to be fairly interested in hearing what I was saying, again in varying degrees, but probably simply out of boredom and simple curiosity, and as you said pretending, as well. Seems I still have a lot to learn about people.Aiming said:Serendipity said:EDIT: I find it interesting that many are indeed listening with a good degree of interest, even if not 100% attentively, but that is as far as it goes for them.

I would doubt that perception. In my experience at least people can be very good at pretending to listen just to be courteous.

Hi , I studied emotions.StandingOnTheEdge said:Dear Laura and Forum,
It's been a long time since I've posted. I could give a range of excuses for not doing so, and I apologize for being silent. It touched me deeply at the beginning of the session that Laura expressed deep concern for such lack of participation. But I want to share with you that I have initiated a series of 5 classes here at the University where I work as a training analyst for the staff. I just completed the second class on Emotional Intelligence. I based it on Daniel Goleman's work of the 4 Dimensions of Emotional Intelligence:
- Self-Awareness
- Self-Management
- Social Awareness
- Relationship Management
It's taken me a couple of years to create the curriculum and offer the classes, but I've attracted about 30 staff members to sign up for the class. After yesterday's class, it's becoming clear that there is a solid positive resonance to the material. For the knowledge I am sharing, I humbly thank all of you.
There was a question from one of the participants, who wanted to know the difference of where emotions are coming from...from the inside or from the outside. I hesitated, because I knew a can of worms was about to open, and I momentarily questioned how brave I am to give an answer. But I drew a breath, and I said, "If we take a perspective of our core values, I would say that you come from a position of either 'service to self' or 'service to others'. We are in a world of service to self, but my guess is that if you are working at this institution, that somewhere along the line, you resonated with the core value of 'service to others'. "
Instead of opposition from the group, there were nods all around. I asked the participant if that helped to answer her question, and she said 'yes'. So thank you, thank you, thank you Laura and the C's.
I hope in some small way I am lifting someone onto the ladder. You all have done the same for me.
Serendipity said:Unfortunately, that is true about most of the people, and I've experienced that for myself after talking about such topics with few of my university colleagues. I talked about diet, need to remove the poisons from the body, psychopathology, lies in media and politics, 9/11, secret history, earth changes, smoking, soul and reincarnation and other topics.
While talking, I would back up my claims with as much rational explanations and information that I could remember while in the same time do my best to stress the necessity/importance of such information, but still, with no one yet did I get to the point where he or she, out of they own will, would ask me to provide a further reading or the place where to check the data I presented.
That alone would be enough to conclude that those persons didn't listen with full attention and/or weren't interested in presented information, but almost in 100% of cases the persons themselves, during or after the conversation, would exclaim something along the following lines: "Why do you want to know all of that? What good it is to know? I think if you know too much, it will eventually get you and cause you anxiety! (Even) It's better to not know anything, knowledge only stresses you out! etc..", which I took as an expression of choice of the persons in question, and that choice is basically 'ignorance', and until they choose to, first of all 'look for the ladder', it's best to honour their choice/conserve your energy, unless they specifically ask you a question, which can sometimes be done by actions instead of words.
