OCCUPY Inner Peace:
How we get into CONFLICT and How we get OUT
A Talk with Christine Pihl-Gibson
What is CONFLICT? (Is inner conflict the disintegrating factor?)
Gain: Pleasure& comfort, Attention, Approval, Feeling of Importance
Escape: Pain, Rejection, Disapproval, Feeling Inferior
Do we even RECOGNIZE conflict? Why bother getting out? Can it be fun?
What is the Master Decision we made that began the cycle of conflict?
What simple actions can we take to live free of Inner CONFLICT?
Are we skilled in being Miserable—in spite of our opportunities and good fortune?
What new SKILLS can we practice to give up misery and
Occupy Inner Peace? (ready?)
Included: Each person will receive a CD which begins the practice we discuss.
