An open letter to friends, repeated below—Hi… Now we are in each other’s lives I want you to know about the mission of my life. I call it ‘The Way of Being’. It is about knowing and realizing the ultimate here and beyond. Here is a booklet on it. I would like you to look it over. Read it, if you find it worthwhile. My request is not that you should value the endeavor or share its point of view but just that I want your awareness of and encouragement in the endeavor.

Ground

An open letter to friends, repeated from above—Hi… Now we are in each other’s lives I want you to know about the mission of my life. I call it ‘The Way of Being’. It is about knowing and realizing the ultimate here and beyond. Here is a booklet on it. I would like you to look it over. Read it, if you find it worthwhile. My request is not that you should value the endeavor or share its point of view but just that I want your awareness of and encouragement in the endeavor.

If diverted away from ‘self – universe’

Self – center > neg to pos > focus

Activities – minimize soc media, news, email, ntflx

People – retreat but do not tell

Issue – inner-outer compromise has me dually susceptible (‘exposed’), requiring a dual inner-outer approach

Inner – learning awareness, defense healing therapy

Outer – recognizing compromise situations setting limits and following through

R – misinterprets or mistakes me* | unaware of self (harshly judgmental) | bp issue

* mistake anger displaces reason and justifies judgment loop

* since have a rather different ‘take on life’, sharing might seem like comparing, but is not, for while I think what I think is right for me, I don’t generally think it is right for all people—I think ‘my way’ is ‘one way’

M—I understand her perspective – mine is that I cannot tolerate the behavior – therefore, no interaction

P (G)—I must deal with this intrusion

Dear P – I appreciate your gracious invitations. However, from my priorities and causes I (must) decline

Health—diet, recipes; feet consult; schedule; less coffee; meds 0; feet—clotrimazole-neosporin; mole; teeth; exercise
