<<<Overcoming internal confictedness is only the first step. Internal conflict is like wearing leg fetters when we must escape the approaching forest fire. Life will mow-us-down if we are obliviously dealing with our inner demons.(((Daisy))), you said it differently than I did, but only slightly. You brought up conflict which is most important. I submit that we can't address our interpersonal conflicts until we deal with those demons of our own. We surely can't change anybody elses thinking or behavior until we can be taken seriously. Also, look at the practice we get, working on ourselves first. When we "get-it", then we can pass it on freely.
