  • little is said about the one of the biggest addictions for the Western world - compulsive thinking.

      The Apostle Paul agrees with Ms. Lamott, (1954- ) U.S. author. He suggests that we allow Holy Spirit to control that dangerous neighbourhood in Galatians 5:16-17 &25 as well as 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 . gfp
  • Thinking becomes harmful when it takes total control of our behavior - so we can't freely choose but feel compelled to act. In other words, conscious choice is absent.
  • We have assigned our minds an aristocratic nobility so that our thinking often reigns supreme over our feelings and intuitions, which are often denied in the process.
  • Mystics and spiritual teachers tell us about the trap that our egoic minds represent, and how our egoic thinking prevents us from having "the relationship of all relationships" that so many people yearn for.
  • many if not most of people's problems stem from egoic thinking which leads to worry, anxiety, depression and fear.
  • We are the most sedated society in the world
  • Surrender to a Higher Power - "a power greater than ourselves" - was the answer created by the founders of A.A. along with a supportive community of fellow alcoholics who knew what it was like - who could identify with the hopelessness, fear, and powerlessness that went with the addiction.
  • So how do we stop thinking? We can't stop all thinking but we'd be far healthier if we could end the compulsiveness and only engage with generative thinking - thinking that creates, explains, challenges and contributes to wisdom and understanding. Compulsiveness is the problem, not thinking itself.
  • Einstein told us decades ago that we'd never solve our problems with the same consciousness that created them. The same thinking that made the messes cannot get us out of them. We have evolved to such a degree that we must surrender to a power greater than our egoic minds if we are to transcend the conditions we find undesirable - personally, organizationally and societally.

      Mr. Rabbin, a U.S. author & speaker, has a flagship program, "The 5 Principles of Authentic Living. He calls these his "Authenticity Accelerator". The priciples are powerfull. I agree and teach these five, key relationship approaches as well: 1 Be Present 2 Pay Attention 3 Listen Deeply 4 Speak Truthfully 5 Act Creatively at http://www.authenticityaccelerator.com I disagree with Mr. Rensch, however, that Mr. Rabbin's work entitles him to the title given to the great mystics of the Middle Ages, like Catholic Priest John of the Cross and his mentor, the Catholic Nun, Teresa of Avalon! gfp

  • Many managers don't know how to probe the thought process of their subordinates, colleagues, and bosses — and instead make assumptions about the basis of their actions. And when those assumptions are wrong, all sorts of dysfunctional patterns can be created.
  • probing needs to be in the spirit of accelerating progress, illuminating unconscious assumptions and solving problems
  • many of the best managers I've seen have an uncanny ability to engage in Socratic dialogue that helps people reach their own conclusions about what can be done to improve a plan or project, which of course leads to much more ownership and learning.
  • Asking these questions in a way that does not trigger defensiveness and that is seen as constructive is an important skill for managers.
  • Gary Patton on 28 Nov 11
     
    Few of us are effective questioners. And being good at the skill of asking questions effectively is not just a major underlying part of a manager's job as is the focus in this excellent article. I'd argue effective questioning is everyone's job and a major life ...not just business... skill! A major life challenge of many of us is that we don't know how to probe the thought process of our bosses, colleagues, friends, neighbours ...and especially our partners and other relatives. Instead we make ill-informed and unwise assumptions about the basis of their actions and behaviours. And when those assumptions are wrong ...as they usually are..., all sorts of dysfunctional patterns can result. gfp (2011-11-23)

  • One potentially appropriate therapy for procrastination lies in teaching something akin to time management
  • it is desirable that not only that there should be an interval free from conscious thought on the particular problem concerned, but also that that interval should be so spent that nothing should interfere with the free working of the unconscious or partially unconscious processes of the mind. In those cases, the stage of incubation should include a large amount of actual mental relaxation"

  • Jazz, blues, soul or calypso music can uplift and inspire us, releasing deep joy or even deep sadness, conveying wit and affirming our common humanity.
