Prof. Belli began today’s class doing aa bit of self reflecting on the reading “the power of now”
which lead to the writing prompt and our main :

some of the answers from classmates :

- accepting thing and the changes that come with it
Healing our world begins with –
- when we heal our self it allows to heal others
- pay attention
- help others heal with out judgment
- no bias judgment perspective of others
- accept every one for what they are
- over look the negative thoughts
- have n open mind set
what does it mean to take a direct role of healing
After the writing prompt we discussed the front matter of the book “the power of now”. Things that would that the author placed to catch the reader’s attention. such things were:
The enlarged “Now” – many people who is seeking self-help wants to being now, seeing a book with an enlarged Now says that the one u may want with it being #1 New York best seller and sols over 20 million copies says that this is an popular book who is loved by many would encourage you to get thus book.
We then lead to our thoughts on the book from what we have read and what stuck out to us.
One person stated that the “paused symbol” is now part of her everyday life and she is now obsessed and is now something she would always use.
What stuck with me while reading the book and I still find crazy is when the author stated that we are slaves of our own minds. I woke up the next morning with the statement still in my head and going about my doing as the book say to free yourself from your own mind. thig such as “not giving into your craving”
vocabulary
non attachment -being able to identify something without attachment
recognition without identification knowing something is wrong without knowing specifically knowing what wrong
