The Work is four questions and a turnaround. The Work is a way to identify and question the thoughts that cause all the suffering and violence in the world. The Work is a very, very simple process. It's for anyone who can answer a question that is willing to. It takes a bit of willingness and an open mind.

When you realize that suffering and discomfort are the call to inquiry, you may actually begin to look forward to uncomfortable feelings. You may even experience them as friends coming to show you what you have not yet investigated thoroughly enough.

When they attack you and you notice that you love them with all your heart, your Work is done.

How do you react when you think you need people's love? Do you become a slave for their approval?

It's for each of us to look at what we really do believe - what our belief system really consists of.
