Читать книгу Manifesto: How To Get What You Want Without Trying - The Doctor Barefoot - Страница 41

Pretty much all the trouble and strife, the rage, the violence and the war comes about because someone feels someone else doesn’t respect them in some way or other. Everyone wants respect – it’s almost crucial to psychological survival – and to get it, as you know, you have to give it, not just to others, but most importantly to yourself. But what does it look like? I don’t know – you’ll have to make up your own picture – but do it now. Visualize yourself fully worthy of respect, respected and respectful, like an oriental master (or mistress) of some ancient, arcane art, with that air of respect hanging lightly but unquestionably around your person – and feel how it subtly alters your demeanour now.

visualize yourself now, chest completely relaxed, heart open, with love not only pouring forth from you, but pouring forth into you from six billion people worldwide.
