Thanks for re-affirming that Katie is not into abusive mind control or cult like systems.<br /><br />This post was <i>specifically regarding <b>abusive partners</b></i> since Katie said "Your Partner is Your Guru" and then Jesse 's response on the FB page:<br /><br />"it's scary disagreeing with so many but I'm afraid I don't agree. I don't see myself in my ex-partner. I'm not abusive, I don't spit in people's faces, I don't use their achilles heel as weaponry. it's all very fluffy saying this but not real. sorry to disagree. just one opinion but for those with loving partners who aren't perfect, I definitely concur!:)" ~ Jesse M.<br /><br />As an adult person with former trauma incidents and knowing the veil of trauma with which PTSD can view statements/events/the world, I was seeking to clarify Ms. Katie for those people who are still viewing through that painful veil.<br /><br />I've noticed in her videos (and comments to some of her FB & Twitter posts) - and through emails to me - that trauma survivors seek out her assistance and I don't want anyone to discount her (like I previously did WHILE in the middle of a reliving trauma experience).<br /><br />Yes, because Byron Katie is wonderful and so are you!Samsarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08926600460742087425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151183323700554921.post-421352019520761822017-03-30T11:28:28.851-04:002017-03-30T11:28:28.851-04:00The work is not to be applied on others, it is onl...The work is not to be applied on others, it is only for self practice. If your partner is abusive - and he is YOUR partner, and you are STILL there (?!) Will YOU run screaming because you are getting the lesson of a lifetime? wIll YOU be staying with an abusive person? out of your own free choise? <br />If you do, than the violence s\he inflicts on you is what you are allowing!<br />That's what she meant... all choises are free, (I am not sure I agree all choices are free, but I am sure you got her all wrong.) <br />Byron is not into abusive mind control or cult like systems.<br /><br />Hope I helped! <br /> Elly.

The thought we have that negates reality is: "Humans should not do harm to other humans." That is simply not true because they do. We don't get enraged at nature disasters that kill humans. We respond to reality by helping people. We know the truth that earthquakes and tornados do cause destruction. (By the way it is our concept to see it as destruction, including death and suffering of people.) <br /> One of my articles is called "Your Child is Like the Rain," addressing this issue.<br />AuthenticParent.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11063788115024705408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8151183323700554921.post-2399146914158877592016-02-25T00:23:50.846-05:002016-02-25T00:23:50.846-05:00:D Thank you! :D Thank you!

I really need to figure out how to set this up so I get notified.<br /><br />I DID hear about the Pearl's book and I, too, have great 'stress' when I think of people killing or harming anything for 'fun.' <br /><br />It makes me quite sick as a matter of fact, and i feel disgusted.<br /><br />If I had guidance for that, maybe I would be an enlightened guru (smile) BUT as it is, I think you have given me an example for my next post. Yes, you have. I'm going to get right on that and I thank you for your honest expression of emotions.
