The Parable of the Dirty Laundry
Tuesday October 7, 2008
8:35 PM
Seth… Good evening, a pleasure to have all of you here. Let us begin with a story that I would like to relate to all of you.
This young couple moved into their new home and after a few days she notices the woman taking out her laundry and hanging it up in her backyard. She also notices that the laundry itself is dingy and appears dirty. A few days later she sees the same woman hanging up a laundry again. And once again she notices that the laundry is dingy and dirty. She remarks to her husband that this woman obviously does not know how to care or to wash her clothing and this scenario goes on for a month. And each time this young woman comments to her husband on how this older woman’s laundry is still dingy, and it is clear to this young woman at this point that the other woman does not know how to do a wash and she turns to her husband and says someone must teach this woman how to do a proper wash. All this being said at this point I would like your comments or feelings on this story.
Frank… Why isn’t the woman taking action to help the other woman? If she feels that way, then she should go over and discreetly inquire or help the woman out. If she notices… and if she is allowing this and it is bothering her, and she doesn’t know the full story then she should find out and possibly give aid to the woman.
Isabella… I agree but I also feel that the woman is constantly complaining and if all you do is constantly complain and you don’t take action to change then change can’t exist.
Seth… Betty, your comments on this story.
Betty… I think the young woman is being judgmental without really knowing the situation and maybe the woman can’t afford to buy soap this month.
Seth… Possibility.
Stephanie… Ummm… I can’t really say that I, maybe along the lines with what Betty was saying. I mean, I think I should feel that I should mind my business. I don’t know how comfortable I would be, to be like your laundry is disgusting and here is how you do proper laundry. I feel like if someone asks for assistance… I feel like it is a judgment about it being dingy and I think I would probably assume that that it is not necessarily how she wants it, but maybe the woman is used to it, and it is okay for her. Because if it wasn’t, I’m assuming she would seek some kind of alternative, she would say my wash is always coming out dingy and disgusting, and to look up or to talk to somebody about how to get my clothes whiter. So, I would think it odd that this other woman was completely alone on an island and didn’t have other information so I would probably just leave it alone.
Jasmine… I see another aspect possibly to the story. It’s everything depends on one’s perception and to the younger woman it appeared dirty, but to the older woman it may have appeared clean. It’s a completely different perception of the same situation. It goes back to not being judgmental and things like that.
Seth… It is interesting here to note that for all of you a great many of my lectures have not truly penetrated. Let us go back to our story. A few days later our young woman notices that the older woman’s laundry is sparkling clean and bright as she hangs it outside to dry. Her husband happens to be passing by and she says to him someone must have finally told this woman how to do laundry. The husband looks at her and says, “I don’t think that is the case. I just want you to know that earlier today I got up early and cleaned the windows of the house.” (Laughter.) The story proves two things. That a great many of you need to read and re-read and to understand some of my previous lectures but more importantly so under our idea and aspects of Change is it not more profitable that one gathers information correctly and before anyone sits down to judge or to criticize another it is necessary if not mandatory that you first examine your perspective before criticizing another.
Unfortunately, each of you has a tendency to view situations from your own inadequate perspective. Change is not possible when you do not allow your own perspective to be cast aside. When one is dogmatically convinced that you are correct the window that you see through is obviously cloudy. Individuals tend to function where they seem most comfortable. Examples here abound; an individual who is divorced and does not change their perspective will usually re-marry the same sort of individual. (Some laughter.)
Isabella… Wait, can you explain that a little further, an individual who is divorced and does not change their perspective will usually marry the same individual?
Seth… Yes.
Isabella… Why?
Seth… Because they are used to it.
Isabella… Why would anyone want to do that?
Seth… Because it is routinely done because they do not allow for themselves to change.
Isabella… I would never want to marry somebody like David again.
Frank… Do you think it is a completely conscious process?
Jasmine… It’s not conscious. Whatever drove you to him the first time you are unaware of.
Seth… The question still falls back Isabella, how do you define yourself? By what means? And you are still to this point of reference defining yourself in that way. Now, individuals who look for job positions without gathering proper information, without expanding their knowledge in their own field, are often placed in positions and in situations that they have previously detested.
When you look through the window of life how clear is the glass? That is a question that very few ask since it is then necessary to examine yourself. Most individuals operate from the standpoint of either I want it, or I deserve it. Both lines of thought are often disastrous. They are so because the wanting situation or the demanding situation narrows the vision that the ego has. The viewpoint becomes difficult at best. These type of individuals have great difficulty in accepting others, especially when the other is attempting to or has made positive changes. These individuals set roadblocks for their “significant others” in order to keep the status quo.
Stephanie… I have a question. Just to clarify it, do you mean that; let’s just use Bill as an example. (Giggled.)
Seth… Good example. (Laughter.)
Frank… It just happened to.
Stephanie… If he was making positive changes, are you saying that I would choose to look through the dirty glass to not see them because that is a change?
Seth… That would not be suitable for you. In other words, if you husband for example was attempting to do something positive…
Stephanie… Right.
Seth… your vision because you are not comfortable in this instance…
Stephanie… Not used to it.
Seth… is narrowed. So, the window you are looking through is murky. So, the positive changes are not adaptable easily to your situation.
Stephanie… So, do I not see them or accept them?
Seth… Both
Stephanie… Okay. So why would I see some and not others?
Seth… Some became so glaring obvious you cannot help it.
Stephanie… Like if when he brought me flowers because I had a bad day.
Seth… Correct. Yet the feeling there is that I know he is going to fall back on his old ways.
Stephanie… Like, I don’t trust the positive.
Seth… And let’s even assume that he does fall back upon his old ways. So?
Stephanie… Right, it is knowing that it is not exactly the way it was though.
Seth… Correct. It is the looking through the window without having somebody clean it.
Stephanie… Right, it is the idea of accepting that it is okay to not be perfect or the way I want him to be.
Seth… Correct.
Stephanie… And that is the accepting part.
Seth… Correct, you cannot change because you choose not to. The individual who runs to grasp a situation because that is how they are, defeats the purpose of change since they do not allow for it.
Stephanie… You mean the person who seeks to control the situation to how they want it?
Seth… To control it, to make it their own, to disallow anything that they do not perceive. If you define yourself as having a husband who is uncaring at times, who is very self-centered when they do something that is not self-centered it is very difficult for you as an individual to see or allow that since that would mean that your perceptions have been faulty.
Stephanie… That my perceptions of the past?
Seth… No, of them; the person who is making the change has been faulty because the believe system is, they cannot change.
Stephanie… They cannot change, okay so…
Seth… Yes?
Isabella… Well because I was just thinking about even with my mother, the idea of looking at changes that she is making is very hard for me to believe that she could ever possibly change and so…
Seth… Therefore, you will notice what you want to believe. She may make three hundred changes and do one thing that is characteristically typical of her old ways. What will you notice?
Isabella… The one thing.
Seth… And discard all the others.
Isabella… Which is what I think she does with me also though.
Seth… We are not talking about someone else. We are talking about you. How does Isabella define herself? What makes her in her opinion…
Isabella… It’s the one…
Seth… What makes her in her opinion have self worth? That is the defining idea. If you define yourself with a narrow viewpoint…
Isabella… Such as?
Seth… Any one doesn’t matter what it is.
Isabella… Okay.
Seth… When you define yourself with a narrow viewpoint you are narrow, and you will routinely do things in your comfort zone.
Isabella… So, for example, when I was talking to Stephanie today about the idea that I feel that I am almost more comfortable not being in a relationship now because when I see myself in a relationship, I see the person that I don’t like.
Seth… Give us a moment. (Long pause.) Now, the object here is defined by you not liking you. You set up situations that have followed you through every single boyfriend, your ex-husband, relationships that you are in now, out of now and looking to go into again, where you set up and I am going to use the word examinations. You use examinations to test you. You believe erroneously so that you are testing them. But you are testing you. You are testing you because you do not like you and your defining characteristics are false. You define yourself as needy. You do not define yourself as independent. You define yourself as lacking without a male figure, so you run to male figures good, bad, or indifferent, it matters not, but you define yourself by that. Many of your quotes here “girlfriends” are just as needy in their own ways as you are. Because this characteristic is a carry over. Therefore, when you define yourself in a narrow set of circumstances your window is cloudy.
Isabella… So, by my telling myself that I am needy…
Seth… You are.
Isabella… I am. So, if I were to tell myself I am independent…
Seth… You do not have to tell yourself anything. You have to be independent. You do not need anyone, including myself, to define you. You do not need anyone to characterize you in any way including myself because the only one that matters is you. And when you become upset and cry now and before you are defining yourself as needy. You define yourself by the examinations that you set out to deal with Jasmine, boyfriends, ex-husband and then you look through very dirty windows to find their errors. That is the story of what goes on. Now most individuals who would either see this lecture, read this lecture, hear this lecture, will understand that this is applicable to most. You are not alone in this situation. Now, go ahead.
Isabella… I see exactly what I am doing. I know I am testing.
Seth… And what are you testing for?
Isabella… I’m testing for reassurance.
Seth… No. That is… remember The Triad Personality.
Isabella… Yes. Am I testing for love?
Seth… Yes. And your expectations are here when they should be here. (Seth motioning with hands high then low.) But the reason you hate and then failing the test is because your expectations of what you want are here, when they should be here. And therefore, The Triad Personality is the test that you set up and you’re angry that they do not meet your expectations. Do you understand this?
Isabella… Yes. So, my expectations are what kind of Stephanie said to me today are basically almost unrealistic.
Seth… Your expectations are unrealistic because you set them up. This has nothing to do with anyone else. This is what has to do with you. And I don’t mean you sitting across the table. I mean the proverbial you of anyone who would listen to this lecture. You are just the fall guy who happens to be having the brunt of it.
Isabella… What I am trying to understand is; I am just going to use Joe as an example because that is what is happening now or my mother even for that matter
Seth… Or just say Frank it is just as good.
Isabella… I was on the phone with him today and set up an examination to see if he would say something that would make me feel loved.
Seth… And of course, he did…
Isabella… No, he did.
Seth… What useful purpose was that? What was it worth?
Isabella… It was nothing because it’s not like it really made me feel any better.
Seth… How could it make you feel better, when he fell short?
Isabella… But how? He didn’t really fall short.
Seth… Sure, he did.
Isabella… Okay, how did he fall short?
Seth… Because your expectations were here; the examination only went to here, less than that. You want him to go further than that.
Isabella… Which is unrealistic.
Seth… No, it is a self-loathing.
Isabella… See that is where I think I am a little foggy.
Seth… Very simply put. When you do not like yourself, you set up these examinations, where everyone must fail, including you. Because the examination you already know is not going to make you happy.
Isabella… Such as him saying, I am so looking forward to you coming up this weekend.
Seth… Correct.
Isabella… Okay, I am expecting him to say that…
Seth… Correct.
Isabella… I am expecting him to say, please call me later tonight when session is over.
Seth… Or how about something as simple as this: You know you are making my week so happy because you are coming up, I can’t believe it is only Tuesday, I wish it were Friday and you were here.
Isabella… Right, okay.
Seth… That would have been more. That is more of what you wanted.
Isabella… Correct.
Seth… And since you didn’t get it you failed. You hated yourself for setting up the examination.
Isabella… Absolutely.
Seth… Self-loathing.
Isabella… So, what do you do?
Seth… It’s very simple. Why have the test? Why set up something…
Isabella… Now can this be…I feel like this is so part of who I am…
Seth… Of course, it is.
Isabella… So, it’s almost like…
Seth… Excuse me, Mother?
Isabella… Em hmm.
Seth… Less so with the man through whom I speak because he rarely falls into the habitual nature of this because from his personality he really doesn’t care. Not that he doesn’t care about you; he doesn’t care about the examination. Every boyfriend, ex-husband, every single boyfriend, not one have you not done this with.
Isabella… No, I know.
Seth… Girlfriends, workers, bosses, so this is a defining characteristic of self-loathing by you.
Isabella… So, this idea…
Seth… Excuse me, I am not finished yet. (Some laughter.) Let me ask you a very simple question. You are going to, and I hate to use this idea, a therapist. How much work have you done with this? The answer is none. Because you report this as what happens. But what you don’t do is say, I don’t like myself. I do not like myself because I do this from the time, I was a child on. That’s where therapists fail. They have no concept of what you mean. When you report a situation, what your quotes here unquotes “looking for” is for them to sooth the hurt. I on the other hand, believe in hurting you. Do you understand the difference?
Isabella… Because that is how you learn.
Seth… No, not because that’s how you lear, because I am allowing you to fail. So, when is the last time you have gone to your quotes here “therapist” and say I detest myself because I do this. I loath myself, but I continue to do this.
Isabella… I have said that I don’t like, I have definitely said I don’t like that I do this.
Seth… And what is the answer?
Isabella… That she gives me?
Seth… Yes.
Isabella… Well, she’ll ask me, how do you know that you feel that way about yourself?
Seth… Worthless answer. That is why…
Isabella… But I have had to say, okay, so what do I do to fix it?
Seth… You are looking for an answer to fix it; and not an answer for you.
Isabella… I am looking for a way that she can help me to fix… to get better, to not do these habitual behaviors; this idea of acting needy within the relationship. Because I said to her this week, I feel better when I am not in a relationship. I feel stronger, I feel more independent, I feel more aware…
Seth… Your window is so cloudy and so dirty that what you said doesn’t make sense to her since her window is not clear enough for you.
Isabella… But I guess what I am asking you is the idea of I feel so much better about myself when I am not in a relationship.
Seth… Why? How do you define relationships? When you redefine them, when you change them, you can’t wait to be in a relationship. It will grab you and shake your core so that every bit of love that you have will just explode.
Isabella… Okay.
Seth… And when that explosion happens the word happiness will come out of you, and you will understand that you have finally washed your windows. And you wash your window by doing the work and redefining yourself. Why do you think I have stated to you clearly that it is far more important for you as an individual, just as Jasmine should have been here to listen to this, which has nothing to do with you, but everything to with her because I could have directed the session in that way just as well as this way. Now, so the idea here is that when you redefine yourself by going ahead and understanding that I asked you to live in a community. We saw that without your learning to live in a community properly you cannot succeed. You cannot succeed because you do not report to yourself. Let me ask you another question, a little housekeeping, how many things are on your list that so far have occurred from last Friday until now? None. Does that tell you something? It is an old way of doing things. Therefore, you have not redefined yourself.
Isabella… So, in the terms of in a relationship because I feel, let’s just say I’m just throwing Joe…
Seth… One second, I am going to let the man through whom I speak come in, I’m going to allow him to change the tape and then I shall return. So, take a small sip of your coffee, okay, blow your nose if you have to and we shall return.
Jerry… Move to end of tape 9:20.
Seth… Go ahead.
Isabella… I guess my big thing is I feel like I am aware of what I am doing, which is for the first time I can actually say that I’m…
Seth… So, your window is starting to be washed. Awareness is the first step. Go ahead. I told you to blow your nose, you didn’t want to.
Isabella… So, I am very aware (Crying.) that I do that, and I can see it because this is the first time that I haven’t really been in a seriously relationship for so long. So, it’s easy to see through…
Seth… But isn’t it factual that you would like to get back into a serious relationship?
Isabella… Eventually, I like being in relationships.
Seth… I understand that, go ahead.
Isabella… Eventually yes, I’d like to be in a relationship, I’m not, yes, I’d like to be in a relationship.
Seth… Move along, go ahead.
Isabella… So, but for the first time, I can really say and admit and understand how I need everyone in my life to be reassuring that I’m lovable. So, my question is…
Seth… Why do you have to be lovable?
Isabella… Because that is how I feel accepted.
Seth… Why do you have to be accepted if you’re loveable?
Isabella… I guess lovable is not the right word but I guess…
Seth… No, lovable is the right word for you.
Isabella… Okay. I just feel that within growing up and within the family unit that I really was the one that wasn’t loved and accepted.
Seth… Whose definition is that? Yours? Jasmine’s? The man through whom I speak? Your brother’s?
Isabella… Probably my mother’s? No, it’s mine.
Seth… It is yours.
Isabella… I have felt that I wasn’t loved.
Seth… And what proof do you have of that?
Isabella… I actually do have a lot of proof of that.
Seth… Go ahead.
Isabella… My grandmother purposely…
Seth… Grandmother is not one that you mentioned, she’s out. Doesn’t count.
Isabella… She is part of my family unit.
Seth… Yes, she is but she had very little to do with you. Move along. It doesn’t matter.
Isabella… But that’s who I have felt the least loved by.
Seth… But again.
Isabella… I am talking about my extended family, not my immediate family.
Seth… The only ones that matter when a child is growing up are the interpersonal relationships within a close-knit family, not extended.
Isabella… Well then, I guess it would have to be in relationship with my mother.
Seth… And would you say she didn’t love you, or she did things you didn’t want her to do?
Isabella… I didn’t feel that she didn’t love me, I just feel…
Seth… Stop. That was the first error. Notice you defined yourself as not being loved.
Isabella… No. I said I know she loved me. That wasn’t the issue…
Seth… But you previously had stated you defined yourself…
Isabella… As not being lovable?
Seth… Right
Isabella… I meant with my extended family. That’s really what I was talking about.
Seth… Okay, so who else in your extended family other than your grandmother who didn’t love your mother?
Isabella… Didn’t love my mother?
Seth… No, of course not.
Isabella… Oh, she doesn’t love my mother.
Seth… No, she never did.
Isabella… Right, so then why would she love me?
Seth… Correct.
Isabella… Okay. Alrighty, moving right along
Seth… By the way, thank you for volunteering.
Isabella… To what? No, no.
Seth… Absolutely.
Isabella… Nooa… (Stephanie laughs.)
Seth… Congratulations.
Isabella… How much time do I have?
Seth… How much do you want?
Isabella… Months, this is a long one, we’ve all been talking forever.
Seth… This is a great lecture for you to type, I shall give you one month.
Isabella… Oh, Jesus.
Seth… Are you complaining? Do I hear a complaint?
Isabella… Not at all. (Stephanie giggles and Isabella joins in.) Okay.
Seth… (Said softly) Some people are smarter than others. (Isabella asked, “Her?” Referring to Stephanie.) Very foolish. (Stephanie laughs.)
Isabella… Were you complaining about typing?
Stephanie… No, a book.
Isabella… Book, oh. So how do you go about in my situation…
Seth… It’s not you.
Isabella… Everybody…
Seth… This has nothing to do with Isabella.
Isabella… So how do you go about redefining who you are and loving yourself and not needing other people to reassure you that they love you or appreciate you, whatever?
Seth… It’s very, very simple, believe it or not.
Isabella… Okay.
Seth… It is one of the easiest things to do. Do you have good qualities? List ten of them, part of your homework for next week. List ten of your good qualities. Now, once you have listed ten of your good qualities and you like them or love them you will find very clearly that your worrisome nature, since they are already there, you’ve already listed these things help define who and what you are. So, in defining who and what you are, do you need anyone else to prove it to you? Do you?
Isabella… Yes, I guess at this point.
Seth… No! You need no one to prove it to you.
Isabella… No, I know the answer is no but I’m saying that at this point, I guess…
Seth… I’m not asking what you think it is. I’m asking in reality.
Isabella… No, I do not need anyone to prove it to me.
Seth… You need no one to prove it to you ever!!! And you can underline the word in this typing session ever, exclamation point. And that is factual.
Isabella… I think one of things that I have been trying to focus on is the idea of my intellect and that I am finding and appreciating the fact that I feel I am very intelligent.
Seth… Do you need anyone else to tell you that?
Isabella… No.
Seth… Then that’s one of the things that you can put down.
Isabella… But then there are so many other aspects.
Seth… Is there anyone here who is in this room at this point, perfect?
Isabella… No
Seth… Well, there is, but not me, by far. By far not me; The All That Is. Other than that, there is nothing in this universe on higher planes that is perfect. And you must allow for that in your judgment of self, which you do not do.
Isabella… No, I do not allow for that at all…
Seth… When you allow for that…
Isabella… I’m my harshest critic.
Seth… Correct and when you allow that you will find you are far better off.
Isabella… So, is it also the idea of practice?
Seth… Of course.
Isabella… Like in the idea, I am just going to use Joe, again but in the relationship pseudo whatever it is with him when I feel like I am testing or whatever, if I can stop myself before it happens and then eventually learn…
Seth… All you have to do is when a test is set up verbally as it is in most instances with you and you are going to ask him to say something, you should immediately stop, and say, excuse me, I already know the answer, it is truly totally unimportant, excuse me for even asking. I apologize.
Isabella… And now will that eventually become part of who I am?
Seth… Of course. Do you want to apologize to him forty times a week?
Isabella… No but I want to…
Seth… Do you want to apologize forty times a week to people for setting up examinations?
Isabella… I don’t even want to ask.
Seth… But that’s what the lesson here is: Learning not… to… ask! (Seth paused between words for effect.)
Isabella… So basically, it’s the idea of retraining my brain to think a different way.
Seth… Of course. Congratulations you have now passed an exam.
We shall at this point take a short break.
Seth… Let us continue, are you satisfied Isabella?
Isabella… Unless there is anything else that you.
Seth… You must work at this. This is not something that you are going to do without diligence and work and the reason you want to type this session is because it will reinforce the idea of what is your window like? What are you really seeing? And what in a triad personality are you really setting up? Do you understand?
Isabella… Yes
Seth… Are there any questions?
Stephanie… Isabella knows what she has to do to like self, and not set up failures. What would other people’s tasks look like? I am thinking about a patient. This guy, is he setting it up to reject his girlfriend, because he hates himself?
Seth… (Using the triad.) In any relationship between two individuals and what you are describing is a perfect love hate scenario. Followed by the apex which is anger moving in both directions. depression and anger at another. So, when you are setting yourself up to get rid of someone else you purposely push your expectations way out. That no one could live up to them.
Stephanie… Right, which I know he is doing to her.
Seth… And therefore, you hate her, in reality self, because you don’t get things.
Stephanie… But what am I helping him to do? How am I helping him to like himself?
Seth… You are helping him to set realistic expectations of not only with what he wants with himself, but what he wants from another, realistic, not unsensible. Which has nothing to do with your patient, but it certainly has everything to do with you.
Isabella… That’s exactly what I think I do, do.
Seth… I agree.
Isabella… I set up completely unrealistic expectations of another including friendships, bosses, everybody. Completely unrealistic expectations, almost as though I feel I should be the center of their universe.
Seth… Triad.
Isabella… That the expectations are so great…
Seth… That no one could live up to.
Isabella… So, no one could possibly ever live up to, so then I could set myself up to be hurt.
Seth… Don’t parents do this too with their children?
Isabella… Yes. So, it is important to set up realistic expectations.
Seth… Realistic and you can underline the word realistic
Stephanie… So now how does one determine what is realistic for themselves?
Seth… One determines what is realistic for themselves by understanding what are you capable of doing or giving, which may be far greater or far less than what someone else is capable of doing or giving.
Stephanie… So, your realistic expectations of others would be based on what you yourself are capable of giving or doing?
Seth… Correct. And then you modify that to accommodate the other. In other words, there are individuals who are in love with giving. They give to an extent which at times hurts them. So, their expectations of themselves are massive. Yet, when you ask them, do you expect someone else to do this, the answer is of course I do. My answer to them is why? That’s a realistic expectation.
Stephanie… Now if this guy though or if an individual…
Seth… No, you must hold it this way so you can have somebody listen to it. (Referring to the microphone.)
Stephanie… Oh. (Laughs.) If one has a blown ego where they’re over the top…
Seth… Then their expectations are massive, and no one lives up to them and therefore you find fault routinely with the others.
Stephanie… Okay, this would be more this guy, my patient. That would be the narcissist for example, so that nobody will ever meet your expectations.
Seth… Nobody could.
Stephanie… And they themselves never meet.
Seth… Correct.
Stephanie… And that’s why they always fail because it is too lofty.
Seth… Correct. No one is good enough for. Are there any other questions?
Isabella… I feel like I feel the opposite of that that I am never good enough for.
Seth… What’s the difference? It is the opposite end of the spectrum.
Isabella… It’s like I can almost see the girlfriend’s perspective of that’s where I feel like I choose…
Seth… You believe you are not worth it.
Isabella… So, I pick people, or I choose individuals that I feel like I have to test because I feel I am not worthy so I constantly have to ask them.
Seth… And your window is so dirty you cannot see out of it.
Isabella… So, the idea is basically practicing independence and not feeling and needing to have to do the test.
Seth… Correct. Any other questions?
Stephanie… Okay, when you are dealing with the narcissist how would you help that person to actually have a realistic expectation of themselves?
Seth… How do you define the idea of this person is a narcissist?
Stephanie… Okay let’s just say someone, you know…
Seth… No, define narcissistic?
Stephanie… They think they are the greatest human creature on earth.
Seth… And the question I would ask is, prove it?
Stephanie… So, but how would I ask the question about how? I would ask how do you define yourself?
Seth… How do you define yourself?
Stephanie… He would ask, what do you mean?
Seth… Well, how do you define yourself in relationship to everyone else? Are there any other questions?
Let me leave you with this. One must be careful. For if you do not wash your windows sunlight does not enter, your wants magnify. When the window is clean, and your vision is sharp the needs and the needs of other are clearly seen and your happiness and enjoyment of all that surround you create that which you may easily enjoy. Wash your windows and have a very pleasant week.
(Session ended at 9:40.)
