Frequently Asked Questions
| Most questions I am asked in workshops can be sorted into two categories, each of which can be
simplified and reduced to their root meaning. If you know which category your question falls into, you will find
your answer below. If you aren't sure, or if your question falls outside these categories, please email me the question
and I will respond quickly, generally within 24 hours. | |
| CATEGORY ONE: | "What does this mean?" |
| CATEGORY TWO: | "Are you sure this is good enough?" |

Short answer: Review the glossary for new definitions for words you may already know. Long answer: Most questions fall into this category. Questions about concepts, especially the "who-what-when-where-why" variety, invariably reduce down to the meaning of a single word. The only solution is to find the word whose definition(s) you do not know, and learn them. Much like a chain only being as strong as its weakest link, concepts are only as understandable as the words used to create them. Frustration and annoyance can develop if we attempt to apply new concepts before we have truly learned and understood the words that created those concepts. Therefore the reward for learning the glossary words is a reduced chance of upset and confusion, and also a greater potential to successfully apply the concepts that the words create.

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: The question itself shows that change is happening. The concern about "good enough" is ego's primary tool for preventing change. If change were not happening, the concern wouldn't show up to get in the way. The solution is to re-internalize the projection and acknowledge it. Because change appears to ego as a possible threat to survival, it attempts to "get us away" by externalizing its most negative thought. However, it is this projection, a "stretching to outside", that gives the thought strength much the same way that a rubber band gains tension as we stretch it. Bringing the thought back to ourselves eliminates the tension, very much like releasing the tension in that rubber band. When the thought "this isn't good enough" comes up, simply acknowledge "this is making me feel 'not good enough'" and the thought will dissipate.
