| | Daniel,
I just want to wish you many happy, healthy returns of your birthday-- and that's basically just for my own benefit :] By setting up this site and sharing your training, your experiences, your re-considerations...you've made a huge and helpful difference in my life. And you've actually paid for us to be able to set up our practices here.
I simply would not have practiced deeply and sincerely for these past three and a half years without what you've set up, without your humility in replying to my first email something like, "More minds are better than one", your reading of old texts, your recommendations on training centres, and mainly your emphasis on honesty, sincerity, actually practicing over jabbering on and on, and actual, pragmatic outcomes no matter the label given to the practice/the experiences --- a huge beneficial effect on me. I also really doubt I would have done this without such a medical doctor in the emergency department (highly practical-outcome-oriented) putting himself out to the entire world sharing his experience and study of the mind from his personal work. To me, this ability to be so open (sometimes aka: "Vulnerable"), is a massive quiet true strength that I hope grows in the world, that I hope also grow in the world.
I can only hope to pay this forward and relax around my own many mistakes in it, too : )
Thank you, Katy
PS: I hope in your second book you do not cut the humorous writing style, quirky descriptions. |
