Following a suggestion I got from the pilot "Route 101" program, I'm posting to this forum (for the first time!) to write about my own experience with the program -- both in its most recent form ("Route 101") and its earlier incarnations, and both retrospectively and going forward.
What I've chronically found, so far, is the following:
Merely trying to follow it seems to help me -- by which I mean that I seem subjectively to be generally luckier and healthier over time merely by making the effort. I first began making that effort at the start of 2005. My life is far better in several ways now than it was then, in areas that seemed totally stuck then and had for years.
But sticking with Lifewriting/Route 101 persistently, without falling away from it, is something that I've repeatedly failed at.
The one part of the program I find insanely hard is meditation. It is not just difficult. It's like meditation is green Kryptonite and I'm Superman. Or something.
What's kept me trying at all is that, while my life is better now than it was when I first started making some kind of effort to follow the Path, it's stuck on a deficient, unbalanced plateau that I know is not good enough in the fundamental sense of "good life" -- if I were to die now, I wouldn't feel that I'd lived well. So I keep failing and retrying.
