In some cases certain folks are beyond help. The best policy is to write them off and focus on the worthy ones.

I had a fun experience with a skeptic. I was trying to teach her about the power of suggestion (online). She complained of a crippling headache and was in distress. I showed her how to do a relaxing routine and then use suggestion to make the headache go away. After a short time the headache was becoming less severe. I said she must continue and repeat this affirmation. "I am a strong woman and I can defeat this headache." I also informed her that the process took me a few tries before success.

In her case it worked only after an hour or two-completely gone. Now she's a believer. Proof of the pudding?

I do not regard self love as selfishness. My definition of selfishness is the disregard of the welfare of others and the focus on self. We cannot love others if we hate ourselves and we cannot help others completely, if we deprive ourselves of full development. The best way for anyone to help otheres is to show them how to live up to their full potential. It's possible to make others too dependent on help, which weakens them and is actually counter-productive.

Lovely and heart felt reminders about skillful practice. For a great forgiveness practice based in Buddhist traditions, readers may wish to visit "Soul Mind Body Medicine" by Dr. Zhi Gang Sha pp. 105 - 107. Remember, practicing forgiveness clears karma.

The ironic point in how Marcella handled her friend is that I think she was actually being altruistic by setting the boundaries. This helped the other person grow in self-awareness because he was expressing some self deficiency in his own self-altruism. Allowing yourself to be abused, either psychologically or physically, no matter how subtly, creates a negative feedback system that harms the souls of both parties so that the capacity for altruism is diminished in both. This morning I resolved to think happy (i.e. self altruistic) thoughts, and I had a very good day compared to other days. In turn I have been more cheerful and kind to others. Without self-altruism we cannot truly be altruistic to others. Thanks to Marcella for getting me to think deeply about this issue.
