A QUESTION ON CHANGE
Excerpt From A Coaching Letter - By David B. Wolf
I think it important to realize, at least philosophically, that, yes, in a moment I can choose to let go of decades, maybe lifetimes, of conditioning, and thereby change. While acknowledging that possibility, it’s also often essential to realize that, practically speaking, I am influenced by my conditioning, past habits, past and current association, etc. Acknowledging those influences, being 100% responsible for my life, experience and results might look like, for example, joining Alcoholics Anonymous, or adjusting my association so that I surround myself with persons who will be more supportive of me changing the way that I say I want to, etc. If I have decades of addiction to excessively eating sweets- sure, I could in a moment give up that addictive habit. That’s possible. Practically, though, if I’m serious and fully responsible, I’ll acknowledge my weakness and take some external steps, such as, for example, not keeping chocolates on my desk to look at when I’m stressed out during the day. Sure, even if the chocolates are there, if I’m deeply intentional I won’t eat them. Still, being honest about where I’m at, sincere intention will manifest as establishing structures such as no chocolates in the house.
FROM DIANE
“Now i see that it’s not enough just to care about the other person. To be a good helper requires real work, thoughtfulness and knowledge. I feel greatly benefited from taking the course and feel confident that the effect will begin to snowball as I continue practicing what I’ve learned. In particular, I feel an increased awareness of how to communicate more effectively and how to be a real helper to another person. Besides all the helpful skills I learned and increased awareness I experienced, I had a lot of fun! The loving mood of our group and our growing experiences together made me wish it would never end. Keep teaching the course!”
Diane Consbruck, Homemaker
From Kar Delaney
“I greatly enjoyed the course. It exceeded my expectations in all ways. There was a good mixture of lectures, brain-stimulating activities, and group interactions… I found the whole process made me so much more aware. Not only did you present knowledge on specific skills, but you also gave knowledge that improves and empowers our overall state of consciousness. I feel totally rejuvenated because of that… I will definitely recommend this course to others. It was structured and presented better than any of my college courses.”
Kar Delaney, College Student
Experience Of The Soul
“There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of the truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.”
Arnold Bennett
