Associating inner strength as a way to bring our most authentic, accepting and loving self into our relationships, and to live joyfully, is a new way of thinking for many people in western society. Judgement and anger is so ingrained in many of us, I see the inner strength course as the most effective antidote to this "illusion of power."<br />Mark Oakleyhubster1403https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750956275749246889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269969973581135706.post-49912762837266313542009-12-03T15:57:14.697-05:002009-12-03T15:57:14.697-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rekha Neilson, Option Process Mentor-Counsellor, Son-Rise Program Mum, Keen cook :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01921150207693328312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269969973581135706.post-6308437991711354482009-12-03T15:24:58.625-05:002009-12-03T15:24:58.625-05:00I have signed up for the Inner Strength course nex...I have signed up for the Inner Strength course next July and I hope I can develop the six fundamentals by then. I totally agree that judgement and anger can make us feel strong but in fact it is powerlessness that results. Being authentic; loving and accepting is the antedote to judgement and anger.<br />Mark Oakleyhubster1403https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750956275749246889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2269969973581135706.post-57002668162281943142009-12-03T03:30:56.669-05:002009-12-03T03:30:56.669-05:00I believe judgement and anger are powerlessness, a...I believe judgement and anger are powerlessness, and as you say Bears, are an illusion of power. I think if we choose to let go of our our own self-judgements and anger with ourselves, this provides the emotional space allowing us to be more loving and accepting of others which I believe is true power. The six fundamentals you mention up above can get us there, but thankyou for posting this because I have had anger, particularly at myself, as a major life issue which I am determined to work through, hence I have signed up for Inner Strength next year. I am confident the course will, as you say Bears, gives us the tools to help ourselves bring authenticity, acceptance and a loving self into all our relationships.<br />Mark Oakleyhubster1403https://www.blogger.com/profile/07750956275749246889noreply@blogger.com
