I Can’t Love You. Is That True?

Blog Popcorn Session

We always have our reasons why we cannot love.

You hurt me.
You were mean.
You treated me badly.
You don’t think like me.
You are too bold, too angry, too timid, to rash, too something.

But Is It Really True That We Can’t Love Them?

Let’s do The Work on this belief as a group in the Blog Popcorn session below.

Blog Popcorn is a way to do The Work of Byron Katie in a group, using the comment section of my blog. For more information read this article. Otherwise, just show up on the blog at 10:30 AM Pacific Time tomorrow, April 5, 2012 (convert to your local time here).

I will facilitate the group using the four questions and turnarounds of The Work of Byron Katie. We will all learn from each other as we answer the questions together. To learn more about what exactly is The Work, read these articles and watch these videos before you come.

Instructions

1. Use the comment section below.
2. Constantly refresh your browser to see new comments as they appear. Some people forgot to do this, and waited in vain for comments to appear. On my browser, Command-R refreshes the page. And I hit it every few seconds whenever I’m not typing throughout the session.
3. I will use red color when I’m in the role of facilitator, and plain text when I’m in the role of participant.
4. When you answer a question, use the “Reply” link just under that question. This keeps the comments organized. If you don’t do this, and use the regular comment box at the bottom of the page, it will not keep the comments sorted.
5. Feel free to borrow from what others write. They will give you an idea for your own work. We’re all doing this together, and can learn a lot from each other.
6. Use the REPLY link, directly beneath each question, to post your answers to each question.

Todd Smith has been doing The Work of Byron Katie on an almost daily basis since 2007. He is just as excited about this simple process of self-inquiry today as he was when he first came across it. He also enjoys writing about The Work, and training others in the subtleties of this meditative process. Join Todd for The Work 101 online course, private sessions, virtual retreats, and his ongoing Inquiry Circle group.
