Quote From: loveiswhatiam Dr. Phil, and thsoe on these boards,
"Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing, there is a field, i will meet you there." Rumi
That field is non-judgment!!!
That field is love: seeking to understand from the heart my own feelings and unmet needs/desires and seeking out those persons freely open and willing to meet my needs/desires, without force, without demands. That field is caring and genuinely empathizing (reflecting) others feelings and unmet needs from the heart, not the head, through real love...the love we each truly are...the light and divinity we truly are diretly linked to our source, what most call God and I call REAL LOVE!
Fritz Perls said, "lose your mind and come to your senses"...for me this means teach others with your actions how you want to be treated by being kind and assertive vs. aggressive or passive....aggression and passivity come out of being afraid and dishonest about ones shadow self; assertive comes from knwoing thyself and being truly loving to oneself and not enabling dysfunctional unhealthy behavior.

The Golden Rule is long forgotten in an age of fighting Fire with Fire. If we could only forgive those whom we perceive as having slighted us either intentionally or unintentionally the proverbial "fire" would quickly be defused. The aggressive situations that often escalates between strangers, families and friends wouldn't exist if we all sought the best interests of others we will in effect be seeking our own best interests. This idea is not a popular one and one for which only the precious few have been able to practice it successfully. Phil and Oprah are great examples of this belief. However, in my own little world; I will seek to do all that I can, everyday, to keep the peace.
"...As long as it depends upon you; be peaceable with all men" (Romans 12: 17, 18)
