OK, your not so famous friend finally got around to listening to the entire tape – and dog gone if I didn’t really enjoy it! I found it fascinating – first as a performance piece and then a remarkable vehicle for self healing.

It can be listened to on many levels: performance piece, work of art, comedy routine, healing adventure. I think that many people, from younger kids, to teenagers, to adults of all ages can benefit from learning to play with the parts of themselves they are less than comfortable saddling up to.

You of course, in you playful descriptions of the entire crew, model absolute acceptance –and what a delightful model!

Indeed, we can have all kinds of traits that can live together and play together within us. There is a whole school of therapy that focuses on sub personalities etc.. but they go about introducing these parts of ourselves sooo seriously –and the goal is to make peace rather than have fun. Maybe if our world leaders got together to have fun, we would begin to communicate.

There is no doubt in my mind that this would be a real asset to anyone whose self talk is critical –and that’s a whole lot of people.
