Ferrini wrote a wonderful article. Thanks for the opportunity to respond. I don't seem to have 100% trust in myself to drop all methods since much of what I do seems to arise from my unconscious. Even if I intend to drop all methods my unconscious protection devices are operating as an "unconscious method." I am reminded of paraphrasing Gandhi, who might say: There is no way" to be." "To be" is the way. I'm also reminded of what I have called the mental equivalent of stem cells. Doing these twelve "events" helps one do everything "right." These were sent to me by psychotherapist Jim Guinan. He wrote:
1.Increase the tendency to let things happen rather than make things happen.
2.Have frequent attacks of smiling.
3.Have feelings of being connected with others and nature.
4.Have frequent, almost overwhelming, episodes of appreciation.
5.Have the tendency to think and act spontaneously, rather than from fears based on past experiences.
6.Have an unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment, and to make the best out of each experience.
7.Lose the ability to worry.
8.Lose interest in conflict.
9.Lose interest in interpreting the actions of others.
10. Lose interest in judging others.
11. Lose interest in judging self.
12. Be compassionate to self and others without expecting anything in return.
