Hi Pierre,

It’s wonderful that you are seeing resistance! You can look to see what you are saying no to, trying to not allow. Ilona has a great video on RESISTANCE: How to End Resisting Life and Find Peace. https://youtu.be/NBEn40-pIfs

There is no such thing as “too fast.” What is - no separate self - has always been the truth. Seeing the truth can't happen "too fast."

Watch what happens as you do this and report back when you can.

Love,

Barb

Hi Barb,

Okay, trying to to say yes to the resistance.

I feel a bit tearful (but not much, i have few emotions) - one thing that comes up is that i dont want to be 'stuck' like this - even if i realize something, i'll still be stuck not getting what i want, or being how i want - or being very awful and unloveable etc. or just shit, in a 'egoistic' way - but i really really want to be worth something also. it's all mixed up. i just feel afraid that even when this good stuff happens, i'll still be brain damaged and everyone will be very happy and beautiful and somehow that makes me feel even worse about how i'll still be inferior.

Love,

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

You know, I think we need to back up a step here. The brain injury has been a big shock, and it may be, like it was for my family, that therapy is needed before moving into this.

I have no training to be able to help in this regard, but there is much more awareness about brain injury in the world now. And there are professionals who will understand and help you to feel more settled.

In the meantime, look into Byron Katie’s “The Work” on the web and her books. She provides four questions to help people begin to question thoughts.

When you are ready, please come back. Please understand that taking a break is not a failure, just good sense at this time.

I’m sending you lots of love and encouragement! Such amazing things have come from what appeared to be a catastrophe over here.

Sending my best,

Barb
