WHERE ARE YOU?
The intention of this small book is to present you with some
ideas, and give you the opportunity to choose them. and to use them to
improve the quality of your life.
It's not about telling you how you should run your life, nor how to
sort our your "problems".
It is about something within you - about contacting something
within you that you may not have recognised. The intention is to give
you a nudge, a reminder about your own truth, and some simple ways
in which you can make that contact.
It is about opening up your life. making a move from the kind of
life where, although you feel you are doing the best you can in the
circumstances, it still seems like you have no control over what
happens to you. It is about making a move from the place where
"things" happen to you. other people influence and mould your life.
and nothing you do seems to make any difference in the quality of
your life.
It is also about not taking yourself too seriously!
"Life is like stepping onto a boat which is about to sail out to sea
and sink." - SUZUKI ROSHI
To make your life work you really do need to have a basic
understanding of where you are starting from.
What usually happens when you think about any improvements
in the quality of your life, is that you see yourself starting from the
beginning, seeing yourself as a clean slate and writing your life as you
wish you were.
Unfortunately this is not possible.
You start from here. looking at the facts of your life as they are
now. You are not a clean slate, you are well written upon. Your beliefs,
patterns or behaviour, thoughts and established emotional responses
make up you. as you are. And this is where you start - not at the begin-
ning, because that has already happened, but here in the middle
where you are.
