Speaking of karma, soul contracts and life purpose...

[im all that]

43. I can see how you would think I was unfamiliar with this group

being a low-post...humanoid and all Trust that I am well-aware of you guys and have been following this group since the old one for a couple of years or so. I would never presume anything had I not been familiar with it.

I never assume someone is "well-versed" in every aspect of a certain topic. I had never heard of Byron Katie until just recently. Your analogy with the "pressing glass into the wound" was interesting, yet I don't feel that it fit for what I was trying to convey.

The point I was trying to make is that our suffering may be of our own doing. Can you imagine if anything you encountered could be turned around and not taken as yet another assault on your being? That would never mean surrounding yourself with abusive people, yet on the flipside it also would mean you didn't get upset if those you love didn't fulfill your "need" in the way you saw fit.

I leave you with a couple of Byron Katie quotes:

All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.”
