If there was ever a man who had cause to be proud, he would, with his prodigious brain and capacity to get things done. But he is the gentlest, most humble, and serving person. I went to hear him speak once in Edmonton when Chive and I were first married, right about this time of year, and there he stood in front of a thousand people or more, in his old cardigan that Chive said was the same one he'd been wearing at his last presentation there 20 years earlier. He talked about the ultimate pointlessness of everything except love, and his work with the handicapped and how they'd taught him to be human.<br /><br />I compare that with the leader of this particular group, who's always reminding her followers of how spiritually advanced she is, what a scholar she is, how her methods are so superior. And who knows? Maybe that's all true. But all I can hear is the clashing cymbals, you know? <br /><br />And I'm really repelled by the current trend in advertising among practitioners in my field (and maybe others, but I'm not curious enough to spend the time searching). I can't imagine having the nerve to construct a website full of testimonials about how marvelous I am, and how your life will be changed if you come to my clinic/classes. There's a lot of talk about the client owning his/her own process, but mostly it's just talk. The real attitude shows up in the flyers.Madcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557763096456837657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380605413166707395.post-26063745867165319692010-01-08T22:26:17.204-08:002010-01-08T22:26:17.204-08:00I like your reference point.
