To all those who participated in "A New Earth" classes, or have even read the book, what has been your experience? It has worked for me in a number of indirect ways.
For one thing, I find that I analyze my knee-jerk responses now, or I react in silence to give myself a chance to put things in a proper perspective.
Keeping on track and in the moment does actually seem helpful; Whouda thunkit?
When I first got about half way through the classes,
I truly believed I might not be able to live up to what was supposed to be gleaned or gained by the study because I still recognized when people were less than kind to me or to others, and I still feel the need to expand my horizons in the areas of work and private life. I thought that might just be my ego talking, but as I reflected on the teachings they do not imply anywhere that you are to simply suffer in silence or dig your heels into a hopeless situation; It is simply that you need to take a more circumspect view, and give things a little time to work out.....or not!
At least I no longer burn bridges for superficial reasons.
Any thoughts on the topic?
