BUNS, ABS, AND HEART OF STEEL #3

[kjensen]

We are only successful though at detachment if we are able to process the horrible thing and not let it affect ourselves or others. We have to be careful that we don't take this anger we feel and dump it on someone else. That would make us as bad as the ML'er. I am guilty of doing this, but awareness is the key. If you are aware that this happens, you can control it.

Well stated. I have been feeling the anger lately and I'm trying my best to be aware of why I hurt/angry and not dump on the people around me. Detachment isn't easy!

Thus, the difference between us and the ML'er is awareness. Awareness is the ability to look within, a sense of self, an examination of the soul. I really feel my Ml'er has never examined himself. He has never taken the time to get to know who he is, what he believes in, and who his higher power is.

I think my H had some periods of self-examination, but it is so true that now he has entered a MLC he has no awareness whatsoever of what he is going through. He says he's too young to have a MLC(he's 44!)..And its as if he does not want to know...
