Three responses arose in me to three different parts of the LOK chapter for this week:<\/p>\n
1\/ The retreat into feelings is all too familiar, fortunately from an earlier time in my life;<\/p>\n
2\/ The dedication to controlling how my life procedes is very familiar to how I live\u00c2\u00a0my life at present;<\/p>\n
3\/ The practice of bringing an object of desire strongly to mind has an interesting side effect: it seems to encourage a recognition of what is worthwhile in that object of desire.\u00c2\u00a0 It lessens the feeling of being a helpless victim of fate and encourages the belief that if I really want something to happen, I can work towards making that outcome possible.\u00c2\u00a0 This feels like an expansion of my foothold in time: like looking back from the future at what I would be most glad to have spent my time doing in the intervening span of my time on earth.<\/p>\n
