<DIV>Steve Schneider: I enjoyed your Kornfieldian ruminations. I
think many of us would like to have the "realization" and "detachment" that
Kornfield seems - genuinley - to have. But I think it goes beyond the
idea that we perhaps should cherish our "inner conflict;" though
we musn't repress it either, which seems the problem with Jack's tao.
A couple of years ago, on a Joe show, I talked about a few days of real
frustration I had about something, and how I tried to lay some
"Kornfieldian" letting go on the situation, but without much success.
Then, after a day or so, it just went away. And I realized - in
that moment of Zen - that while you can't really push anything
out of your mind, if you are patient with the pain, it often goes away by
itself. Ksanti. Larry Block</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
