He was an engineer, who aquired Enlightenment in 1952 by using this type of technique of feeling and then letting go of all unwanted emotions. I am sure you can find a lot of information about in on the Internet about him and about the methods, even on Youtube.<br />So, yeah, just check them out, and you shall see the similarity between those methods and what Mark is talking about here.<br /><br />Arkazor Hei,

I often feel spiritually powerless. In fact I seemed to have a spirtual crisis on Sunday night. Because of an abusive childhood and marriage, I can't GET love. So I can't trust my God and I so desperately want to. Being in the thick of it, I can't see but I wonder if God wants me to feel the powerlessness, which I did Sunday. I felt incredible rage in this and even tho' I could not stop the flow of 'words' I had towards God, I had feelings of terror that He would let me 'go.' Yes feeling powerless is hard.

Well, the way to feel your powerlessness is the same way you feel ANYthing.

I understand it can be a little tricky because we keep wanting to 'tense up' and feel something else.

It's hard to really let go and feel powerlessness, (or to feel most anything, for that matter!)

And trying to teach it is like trying to teach someone how to blink their eyes.

I will be writing about this a lot more, but the first thing is to truly give yourself permission to feel ALL your feelings. Giving yourself permission – and truly meaning it – is one way to start changing the negative programming we all seem to have about our feelings.

With powerlessness, it's like trying to go down a shaft or a tunnel without touching the sides.

The powerlessness lies at the end of the shaft, but if we touch the sides then we go into blame, righteousness, etc. etc. etc.

And it's HARD to go down that tunnel all the way to the powerlessness.

I'll write more on this later.

For example... I feel powerless dealing with my brother. He's angry, agressive and a scary person. But I have to interact with him at least once a week, as our mother is 89 and having mini-strokes, etc. He tries to undercut anything I do... and I DO feel pretty helpless to deal with him. The only way I now know is to manipulate him into thinking that my ideas are for his benefit. So, tell me, Mark, how do I 'feel' ... REALLY 'feel' my powerlessness in this situation?
