A momentary lapse , lapse of sanity, lack of faith is what Jack had. Jack’s lack of self-belief, lack of confidence is really a lack of faith in God. If he trusted God more, stopped trying to control every little thing in his life, and just prayed more, he’d be fine. But his ego is the culprit. His ego is the one that leads him down the garden path, convincing him that life is a fight and he must battle all the way on his own.
Let go and let God, Anita.
Simple as that.
Praise the Lord!

Anita
I just realised that last post might annoy you . Sorry if it does.It was done for my own benefit, nothing to do with you.
I appreciate your offer of therapy but I’m going to pass this time. That might come across as ungrateful, even delusional but I’m just sticking to my gut instinct. You could very well go into professional practice Anita, in my opinion and a lot of others would agree with me. Is it not too late to do your Masters? I can appreciate the cost might be not worth it. Take care.

Dear Pious Pete:

I read your post before last. Pious indeed. Jack: it is fine with me that you pass on my mostly unbaked offer. Really. It was going to be a lot of work for me and I would have attempted it only if you were very, very interested.

Now, about the post before last, I thought it was humorous, not? I mean Pete really took over? If so, you must have been distressed, Jack, when that happened. Jack… are you there?

Jack:

I was going to start the experiment with the following question: what will you like to change in your life experience? What would you like to be different than what is now?

No, no, we are not doing the half baked idea. I respect your choice.

What will Jack like to be different? Now, it is just a question, not connected to any plan of things to come but my response, if you do choose to answer.

I’m in a self-accepting mood Anita. So nothing really bothers me today. My pain-body is far far away.

May your self accepting mood extend through the night and into the next day and the next… May you not be bothered. May your body give you no pain. May the pain vanish into the eternity of … and so forth.

Oh I’m so glad I’m not the only Christian on here.
Alleluia Jack!
May God transform you into something precious!
Remember God is the potter, we are the clay.
Let him do his work through us!!
Oh I’m absolutely thrilled!

Pious Pete: you have a friend in Glenda. Indeed a transformation of sorts, since Pete is Jack.

Dear Jack: you don’t need to be transformed into something precious, you already are, is my position.

Jack – if I remember right, that pain body chapter (was it chapter 3?) was the longest in the book – Tolle had a lot to say about it 🙂 The way I understood it, it’s almost like an independent entity (separate from the pure non-self part of us) that has been built up over thousands of years of hurt and pain – from our own family, community, society, culture, country, race, religion – all those institutions that have written or unwritten rules and expectations; and some form of punishment(s) for not meeting them. And so the pain accumulates, and we carry it with us – and it rears its head whenever any of those unwritten events show up in our life in some form.

This is how I understood it – and experienced it.
