I have been getting several emails, lately, asking me why I do not lead seminars, any longer. The short and quick answer is that I am too busy, which means I have filled my time with other things. The more introspective answer is that I care too much.

'Caring too much' means I am too attached to the results of my efforts: I should simply 'let go.' This biblical-like parable, below, illustrates.

THE LESSON

Then Jesus took his disciples up to the mountain and gathering them around him, he taught them saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are the meek.
Blessed are they that mourn.
Blessed are the merciful.
Blessed are they, who thirst for justice.
Blessed are you when persecuted.
Blessed are you when you suffer.
Be good and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven.

Then Simon Peter asked, " Do we need to write this down?"
And Andrew said, "Are we supposed to know this?"
And James asked, "Will we have an exam on this?"
And Phillip said, "What if we don't know it?"
And Bartholomew asked, "Will we need to hand this in?"
And Matthew said, "When do we get out of here?"
And Judas asked, "What does this have to do with real life?"
Then, one of the Pharisees present asked to see Jesus' lesson plans and inquired of Jesus his terminal objectives in the cognitive domain.

And Jesus wept...

Any questions??
