Art, thank you for your consideration and suggestions. And I don't find anything silly about gazing with Ted's photo.

What I have uncovered already is that my tendencies don't go the way of the mutualite. Up and down I do readily, but the real burn for me is dealing with people, especially groups. On one level this "inability" to receive is a mechanism that allows me to jump to quick, often negative, conclusion about my relationship to another and theirs with me. That conclusion then becomes the "reason" to disengage from them.

Much of the burn for me involves just staying in the room, staying present. I can't tell you how many times since I've entered this room I've felt the impulse to run out of here, never to return. I'm still here, though.
