Meeting 28

What stays the same, understanding, and questions

What happens when the people close to us do not change the way we want them to? A conversation about accepting life, studying the spiritual world, and questions that arise from your own observation.

Your question

How do I live with the fact that the people close to me are not changing the way I want them to, and where does a question of my own come from?

  • For those who notice that they expect the people close to them to change
  • For those who want to ask questions arising from their own observation
Why explore this

What you can explore here

Consider the changes you expect from another person
Pay attention to how you perceive what stays the same
Distinguish a ready-made explanation from a question arising out of life
In the author's words

“If you have any questions and you can put them into words, then absolutely. Be sure to prepare those questions.”
