I found this post while looking up ideas surrounding the curious concept of NO FIGHT, NO BLAME expressed in Aphorism Eight of Lao Tzu's Tao te Ching. <br /><br />I included the idea in a series I am writing on VIRTUE...in this case, one of the four main virtues listed by early Greek idea spinners, Temperance, Wisdom, Justice and COURAGE. It is courage where I am introducing the idea of NO FIGHT, NO BLAME as being something that takes a lot of courage to do. If you are interested in checking out this article, here is the link:<br />http://godconsciousnessbook.blogspot.com/2017/07/is-being-good-bad-for-you.html<br /><br />Let me know what you think of the article.<br /><br />In closing, I have found it not easy to avoid the suffering which is yet to come...and be in the state of NO FIGHT. I think that is the first step to getting the NO BLAME going on.<br /><br />Yesterday, The Great Spirit/God/ gave me a good insight about how it is time for me to return to the active embrace of NO FIGHT. This means the evacuation of "himsa." <br /><br />So? Well, anger/hatred/spite/revenge/fear/grudges/ and so on.<br /><br />It does mean, for me, the deliberate choice of NOT saying that next<br /> thing that makes the sticky badness latch on to me.<br /><br />Put another way, it means Spirit/God quietly coaxing the OTHER response...the choice to NOT say...and the choice to say the OTHER,<br /> or NOT say anything at all.<br /><br />Sure there is more to this. This will do for now. Robert Farmilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708748917332799329noreply@blogger.com
