Purpose of the work (part two)

It happens now and then. So, we're going to look at some of the emotions that people generally have. We will keep them to a minimum of what we talk about. Anger, guilt, fear, and insecurity, and then there are a jillion synonyms. Now, on top of that there are lots of feelings. Feelings are pretty nice things to have, right? You have one of those every now and then. And we would think that possibly that if we acted upon some of the ideas that we have today, you would not have emotion, you might have lots of wonderful feelings. And I don't think that anybody complains about having nice feelings. They enjoy those and that's what everyone's workin' to have in one form or another (tells folks to come right in who came late)So, as we look and see that when a person has a bunch of emotions, frequently you don't feel physically to good, because there seems to be a connection between some way or other. You get sick. And sometimes everything in your business goes topsy turvy. Your work goes off in tangents when you get emotions involved in it. By the same token while you have emotions going on, your personal and interpersonal relationships get kinda tangled up, to say the least. I hear more about that probably than any other item that we receive calls about. That about 98% are about personal and interpersonal relationships that are not going smoothly. You might say they're a little rocky here and there. And they seem to cause a considerable amount of difficulty in peoples lives, that they're unable to work, they're unable to enjoy themselves because they're totally involved in this relationship situation. So as we go along we're going to find out what is happening in those, and what brings it about. The first thing we generally hand out is a little drawing called the picture of man. Now I know many people here think they're very familiar with it, but I also know they haven't acted upon it. They can memorize it possibly, but let's look at it with aspect that we can do something with it. Now the first drawing I will make is a drawing of of man as you can be, not as you are today but as you can be. We hope that a few people are in the state which we will describe, and everybody tries it now and then, but we can also see that we could have it all the time if we took a little effort. Now seemingly nothing in this world comes for free, it always requires a bit of effort, a little work, and a little work has to come along now and then. So we'll draw a picture of the general function of man as he is put together. We're all familiar with the physical body, we'll put P.B. there that means physical body. Then there's awareness here, we'll put X here which means life. I don't know a definition for life except that we look around and see that these are alive. They're breathin', and several other things. And uh, it's also that most of us have seen dead ones. Now you can look at a tree out here..
Note: more to come on this. Please check out the picture of man at marshasummers.com or there are other places, a picture is worth a thousand words after all....
