PS: Rob Brezsny also ask you to do work, by the way. He knows that without work you’ll stay the same, the world will become worse every minute, and life becomes less tolerable. But he manages to dress these assignment in a way that you can just read it, nod and that’s that…
- Here are some of the assignments Rob Brezsny (personal vibration: 190) that are appropriate for this time of the year:
- Review in painstaking detail the history of your life, honoring every moment as if you were conducting a benevolent Judgment Day.
- Forgive yourself for every mistake except one.
- Create a royal crown for yourself out of a shower cap, rubber bands, and light bulbs.
- Think of the last place on Earth you’d ever want to visit, and visualize yourself having fun there.
- Test to see if people are really listening to you by asserting that Karl Marx was one of the Marx Brothers.
- Steal lint from dryers in laundromats and use it to make animal sculptures for someone you admire.
- Fantasize you’re the child of divine parents who abandoned you when you were two days old, but who will soon be coming back to reunite with you.
I am convinced, maybe mistakenly, that having a handful of students that are willing to work and actually do the work makes more difference than all the feel-good gooey stuff others dish out… Please argue with me… I’ll answer each respectful comment.
