M. We all know that when we're tolerating someone, we only have X amount of time to put up with that person or that situation. And [[patience]], well, you know, like with Peter's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seizures seizures], I tolerate them because I know I only have to put up with them for about 15 minutes.

K: I can always bring it down to these [[children]]'s levels because I do [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_care child care]; but it's like when somebody runs to you and says "So- and-so's teasing me." I say, "Well, if they don't get a rise out of you, they'll stop." That's how I can see going through [[adult]] life.

D: I think one of the things that's real important when you're working with someone who tends to want to push buttons is to really carefully [[examine]] your own [[agenda]]. If you're going into that [[relationship]] with the [[intention]] of trying to make a [[change]], I think it's very important to try to [[understand]] that [[person]], to see where they're coming from.

D: I have a comment. Oftentimes when you're working with [[children]], they have more than one [[ego]] state just like we do. What you need to do is try and [[access]] their [[adult]] ego state...adult ego state to adult ego state. Also, oftentimes if you're really having a problem with a [[person]], you don't really [[feel]]..and we've been going round and round with this with a [[teacher]] at [[school]], middle-school level. We called the principal today. Things were said(?) in her class and I've had it reported back to me; and it was very inappropriate.

So last night I did a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt gestalt] with her. I put her in a chair and I talked to her from my highest [[self]] to her highest self. "Is this appropriate? Who are we (?) Can we [[work]] this out?" Well, we called the principal this [[morning]] and everything's going real smoothly.

Even a child you can reach through your [[love]]. (sentence lost) Oftentimes you can approach them in a [[meditative]] state and say "Can we work on this?" (several sentences lost) There's always [[problems]]. And I always have to affirm that the [[teacher]] is going to [[love]] and [[enjoy]] and cherish every moment that they spend with my [[children]], because they're not going to get their papers in, and they're not going to always do [[everything]] right because they're going to have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurology neurological] [[problems]]. But I want them to be [[effective]] and try their hardest and validate their own selves.

So every year we go through this. But I've found the most direct route is to stay centered (words lost); but I [[calm]] myself down pretty easy..(words lost).."Then I say, may I please [[speak]] to your highest [[self]]. Let's work this out. I want you to see the best in my [[child]]." And things went really smoothly today. We do that with the kids too.

W: If you are [[speaking]] of pursuing a [[goal]] that has [[spiritual]] [[value]] to it, do not become discouraged when you find that some days are better than others. All life has an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebb_and_flow ebb and a flow] to it. When you pursue [[worship]] and [[prayer]] and you pursue to see the [[presence]] of [[God]] in each of your [[brothers and sisters]], do you not find that some days you feel like you are making [[progress]] and other days you feel as if you did not reach any new [[understandings]] at all or even perhaps faltered a bit?

M: Welmek, I watch the [[mother]] of these kids go out and enjoy herself and she leaves these kids [[alone]]; and I find that very disturbing to me, a l2-year-old with a l0-year-old, an 8-year-old and a 7-year- old. And the other [[morning]] when I walked in, she was smoking [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marijuana marijuana] in the house. It makes me very sick, and I knew what was going on the night before. How do you tell this person "If you want to do this, that's great; but take it away from the kids. They don't need that [[example]]." without [[hurting]] her [[feelings]]. She's very [[rebellious]] of anything that you suggest.

W: There are various situations, and you must make a [[judgment]] as to the [[wisdom]] of [[interfering]]. As you know, it is not suggested that you give [[advice]] where it is not asked for; and so you must [[realize]] that while you may [[wish]] to give advice, this [[person]] may not at all want to hear it. Therefore, to some extent, it will fall upon deaf ears However, there are also times when there may be loved ones involved and you [[feel]] that the severity of their [[actions]] and the [[potential]] harm upon themselves or upon their [[children]] or other loved ones warrants that you should step in and make an attempt to improve the situation.
