"Nonresistance, nonjudgment, and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living." So says Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth. We read that yesterday in our Mystics in Training Class that I attend most Thursday mornings. It's a books study class that is more discussion than reading. We began the book on February 23, 2012 and are up to page 237. We may finish in year. I piped in, "I have broken all those rules; and if I didn't I would not be in my home today." As I look back, if I had surrendered to the corrupt banks and attorneys, I would have had my home stolen. I stood up, and truth prevailed. It wasn't easy. Many told me to just walk away. Today, I am, once again, introspective in regard to choices, looking back and ahead. What is the "right" way to handle controversy?
