It helps that my therapist has steered me towards the books and "The Work" as it's called. Since reading that first book a few years ago, like I said, it just seemed to plant the seeds that I needed, and it's just been recently that I've been able to actually put some of the practices into action. It looks easy, but it wasn't for me! It took a while for me to be ready to actually do it, but when I did, it was a very liberating exercise. Once you start doing the inquiry process, you want to keep doing it. It's a joyous hunger.

> CSThank you CS, for this. I watched the videos, esp the one on 'relationships' (that is SO ME!!..lol.). I clearly see the logic behind it, and it's just a matter of injecting it into my emotional self. That takes a few days..lol. In the meantime, I will read the book. It's funny....I remember dating this one young lady years ago, I was about 23, and I could see her fading away from me. So, what do I do? I take her to a 190 dollar a plate fancy restaurant! Then there was wine on top of that. (Niagara: 70 bucks a bottle!!!) Then a week latter, she gives me the line....."Well, I need 'my own room' so, goodbye'!'. I've spent more money on very expensive hotel suites with Jacuzzis and in-room service and fireplaces, jewelry, roses, Victoria Secret's, European chocolate...and on and on. I know...my dumb fault. There where a couple of times I loved spending that money, and those where in long-term, very loving relationships, and it was never 'expected' of me. Oh my.....we could start a thread probably that would need it's own webpage...lOl! :-) Thank you so kindly...again.....
