Talking mind benders...

Putting the concept of EGO-DEATH into illustration on a day to day basis would be fascinating. Could you put yourself in a state with others where every word and action came from a higher place that wasn't 'me-centric' and either was the response? Think of the lessons and tools the rest of us could take from this directly into our own lives.

If this is too abstract, then take it apart and try something a little more simple (yet difficult for most of us) by NOT TAKING ANYTHING PERSONALLY. Document how you would put yourself in this state. How you would think before responding and vanquish any feelings of anger, resentment, sarcasm...assuming you normally might take something personal at least once a day - whether it be an email or a passing comment. Might have to put yourself in a 'stranger' situation where a personal remark would be more easily thrown at you. Could then practice the art of dis-empowering someone...sorry I think I'm pushing you towards a bar fight with this. But at the least you might end up a better human being than you already are!

Finally, You could probably double the traffic to your site the following month by doing a 30 trial of TAKING EVERYTHING PERSONALLY!
