With that logic - it then would also be more empowering to not even push people's buttons and make them find them on their own.
But, no Steve can post what he will. I'm just interesed in the part after you get your buttons pushed. And if Steve thinks that's a good teaching to just push buttons all by itself - I'm not in agreement. There could also be guidance for that - or some will not be able to let go of the root cause of the button pushing.

One very big part of it is recognizing that your belief is not who you are. 
As long as you believe that your belief is who you are, then a perceived attack on that belief is a threat to YOU. You feel diminished. When you can see the illusion of that "attack" -- that there is no real threat -- then what is there to get emotional about?

that's what I like hearing now. and I know these ideas and think this is where the learning happens - not just in getting buttons pushed.
So if someone believes something but is not really owning it or identified in it, they won't feel anything when someone has a different belief or contradiction to that belief?
Is it possible to believe something and not feel emotions around it? Are all the emotions of a belief related to weather or not you put your identity into the belief?
