Hi Kindness Therapy
Seems that your entire message is that self-help is the way out of Misery Swamp.
Trouble is, moving perspective, changing ontology, self-realisation, moving the assemblage-point
requires something Else.
Not just the idea that self-help "somehow" works.
Self-Help books have been around since, at least 1930,
without producing any awakening of mankind.
Bertrand Russell's brilliant book "The Conquest of Happiness" [published 1930]
has yet to be improved upon by a plague of schMexperts on human psychology
that take up about 10% of any bookshop.
But 85 years later, I am effectively alone amongst intellectual dullards
who can barely hold themselves together emotionally.
I'm speaking here of virtually All my fellow humans,
with a few exceptions, like Cledwynn, Riccola, and George Monbiot.
Self Help has sold a lot of books, but where are the self-realised people ?
the revolution of consciousness every New Ageian is still waiting for ?
Not apparent to this grumpy old man.
What we wish for is not happening.
. What we pray for is not happening.
. . What we read-about is not happening.
Something is missing from your reality map.
something Pivotally important.
Until the Invisible-Saboteur is dealt with,
[the mind-parasites which I am pointing to],
. . . thinking is merely rhetoric.
The Kindness Therapy nom de Guerre suggests a wish that everybody be nice to you.
How is that working out ?
Myself, I concentrate on being real instead of nice.
nice is too-easy for satisfaction, a sugary social bandaid,
and usually Nice is thoroughly inappropriate, to Boot.
Be Real instead of Nice !
Go on. Plenty of room for denial. Be my guest.
The too-hard-basket is never full.
Plenty of too-hards for keeping Reality company. [img]

Paradox is where thinking gets most interesting.
