VJ, I apologize for not writing back for a while.

I especially like this section:

“(working “with it” will mean not resisting your situation, even though it is a painful situation. It means to align yourself to whatever is happening)
This will miraculously transform your whole life”

This will miraculously transform your whole life…wow. I think I need to really dig deeper in how to work on removing the resistance in my life…?

I’m having a bit of a difficult time understanding the plastic bottle and space example, and how occupying that space will make me “..peaceful, cordial, friendly, harmonious and loving irrespective of the (external) circumstances.” I guess I need to dig deeper into that topic to truly understand.

I see what you mean by the remote in my hand. However, I would like on that remote the “time for friends” button to push when I choose to be with friends…understanding that the act of having friends does not define me or contributes solely to my fulfillment of happiness. Having the option on the remote would be nice.

Thank you for sharing. I will keep reading what you have shared as I continue to work through this time in my life.
