"I know the remark you are referring to. I posted a reply to this topic, because I found the T's reaction really inappropriate. I personally believe that the matters of good and evil that are the basis of moral judgment are just a reflection of a rather limited point of view. If you look into the reasons behind damaging behavior all that is found is suffering and its consequences. Imo the only proper response to this is compassion and empathy. At the very bottom there is no right or wrong just cause and effect. Hence judging and being moralistic proves to be another sign of neurosis that robs us of the ability to empathize with ourselves and others. Just like you rightly pointed out. Hey! We agree again! Now how cool is that?! ;)"
I thought I remembered you from somewhere. Yes, I totally agree with you. I was stunned when I read that T's comment. We actually get what you say in your post here repeated almost on a weekly basis in our study: "Imo the only proper response to this is compassion and empathy. At the very bottom there is no right or wrong just cause and effect". The last pasrt matches my opinion more than what we learned in our study (Hence judging and being moralistic proves to be another sign of neurosis that robs us of the ability to empathize with ourselves and others), but that doesn't mean it's wrong (allowing myself to be a tiny bit arrogant here, hehe).
I think my tutor at the university would have freaked out if I told him, but I've always wanted to try regressive therapy. I have mainly heard negative things about it, but I am careful letting other peoples negative judgements influence my own too much. I find any way of "alternative" treatment interesting as long as it's not potentially dangerous also when you are careful yourself.
Cheers :-)
