THE POWER OF YES IS A NEW unpublished book about how an attitude of YES to everything in life changes the very nature of being.
The first part of the book explores how anger itself isn’t some great neurotic fulfiller of ego tantrums. It’s not “letting off steam,” or anything healthy. Anger is in fact a suffering which we inflict upon ourselves at the ego’s behest. Anger doesn’t even appear if we’re YES to the feelings which the ego and conditioning are trying to cover over.
The text takes a look at how all emotional outbursts and unconscious ways of avoiding discomfort keep us from feeling our own lives.
Next, most importantly, the difference between the words FEEL and EMOTION is explored, particularly how societally we embrace a basic confusion — while we mean to support healthy FEELings, we unintentionally support negative EMOTions instead — because the two words are confused. For instance, if a person is insulted they may FEEL hurt, but their emotion may be anger. While these two may be a far cry from each other, it is quite hard to discuss, discern or heal while still interchanging the words FEEL and EMOTE. Often a well-meaning person, run out of words, will say, “You have a right to your anger.” As If! The beauty of THE POWER OF YES is that it shows the simple lovely beautiful path to clarity — and ninety percent of the work is done just by learning 1. we too have been confusing the two words and 2. by differentiating the two, we shine a new sun of enlightened vision on human existence. It’s quite easy (and amazing) to see the dark cul-de-sacs we’ve driven ourselves into. Why oftentimes we end up somewhere less-than-clear — and usually because we confuse two words and lives lives of confusion we didn’t even know we had. But when it’s seen it’s Oh Yeah, That’s It! THEN we understand how it works, THEN we can stop saying NO’s we didn’t even realize we were living. Life moves forward, again.
The end result of saying YES to life are beings awakening to who they really are, what they really experience, what they really think and feel. They begin to live.
The final sections describe one man’s helpful tools on exploring the very thing a YES awakening illuminates right in front of you: enlightenment.
I pretty much have the material nearly ready for print.The next stage is to arrange for publishing and/or printing. I’m still writing full-time and I’m staying with a friend in California.YOU can help by either offering to EDIT or proofread.I’d like to get into San Fransisco, too, to do book-signings at book stores and some evening and weekend relaxives.
