STOP FEEDING CONFLICT

I did the A Course in Miracles Workbook for years.

Over and over.

I understood many of the lessons.

I valued them.

But I did not find lasting peace through them.

The mind could still turn a grievance, a fear, or an argument into a full-on unsettling production.

Then I began answering mental conflict with two simple words:

NO COMMENT.

I had no idea whether something so simple would work.

I only hoped it might.

What I did not yet realise was that all those years of doing the Workbook, however poorly, had trained my mind to listen to me.

So when I said NO COMMENT, and kept saying it, the mind eventually got the message.

Not as suppression.

Not as denial.

Not even as another argument with the ego.

Just no participation.

A thought appears.

NO COMMENT.

A grievance starts gathering evidence.

NO COMMENT.

Fear wants a hearing.

NO COMMENT.

For me, this simple practice has now replaced the Workbook.

Not the Text.

Not the Manual for Teachers.

I still need those because they explain the thought system and remind me not to make up my own spirituality.

My daily practice has become very simple now.

The Workbook trained my mind to listen to me.

NO COMMENT gives it one clear instruction:

Stop feeding conflict.

That is where the peace began.

A quotation from Hoffer

Passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. Thus people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. A mass movement offers them unlimited opportunities for both.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements, Part 3, ch. 14, § 75 (3.14.75) (1951)

Loss - the belief in progress and the reality of experiences of loss.

* Grievance-fuelled violence at home and psychological harm reduction

"The family violence workforce is stretched in Western societies... 20 out of 38 reviewed cases of fatal family violence were "grievance-fuelled"...The Fixated Grievance Perpetrator Intervention Pilot brings together experts in forensic psychology and psychiatry, criminology, policing, perpetrator intervention and victim support."

* The role of loss within society
Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one.

"Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."

"Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>

Why are the US #Democrats so absolutely #useless?

"Oh, we might skip the State of the Union address to show our displeasure with the administration."

Are you #morons? That would be a gift to Dear Leader and his #lickspittle #Congress. The #SOTU would be Mango Mussolini speaking to a friendly crowd, all happy, applauding, not a contrary expression to be seen. He'll be happy, smiling, at his most congenial as he basks in the warm glow. You do not do this.

What you do is attend. Every #Democratic #house member and #senator. Every staffer and guest that they're entitled to bring. Everyone. You put them all in their assigned places.

And then, when Trump gets up to speak, every single one of them simply turns away from the dictator. Turn their back to him, and *stay* that way for the whole speech. The #optics are great; the cameras show half the crowd with their backs to him, in obvious #protest. The #tyrant has to look at it all through his speech. He's angry. He's spiteful. He puts on a display for the ages, goes off-script, airing every #grievance his Swiss-cheese mind can dredge up. His body language is hostile. #Media coverage shows the event for what it actually is: a #vengeful, #lawless #authoritarian trying to verbally browbeat the legislative branch into submission.

#DNC, I'm available for consulting if you'd like.

The "State of the Union" address, or as it has come to be known in recent times, the "Airing of Grievances Prior to Taking Grampa's Phone Away, Changing his Diaper, and Putting Him to Bed".

More seriously, unless they medicate him properly and do something to keep him on-script, Tuesday's performance is likely to be #legendary, and not in a good way.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Tell yourself, when you feel exasperated and out of all patience, that this mortal life endures but a moment; it will not be long before we shall one and all have been laid to rest.
 
[ὅταν λίαν ἀγανακτῇς ἢ καὶ δυσπαθῇς, ἀκαριαῖος ὁ ἀνθρώπειος βίος καὶ μετ᾿ ὀλίγον πάντες ἐξετάθημεν.]

Marcus Aurelius (AD 121-180) Roman emperor (161-180), Stoic philosopher
Meditations [To Himself; Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν], Book 11, ch. 18 (11.18) (AD 161-180) [tr. Staniforth (1964)]
