We’ve never done these before, but I thought it would be interesting to see what off-topic stuff is going through everyone’s head. Comment away.

    Ok, I’ll start. Here’s a quote that’s been helping me a lot since the layoffs. It’s from Eckhart Tolle’s “A New Earth”:

    Resistance is an inner contraction, a hardening of the shell of the ego. You are closed. Whatever action you take in a state of inner resistance (which we could also call negativity) will create more outer resistance, and the universe will not be on your side; life will not be helpful. If the shutters are closed, the sunlight cannot come in. When you yield internally, when you surrender, a new dimension of consciousness opens up. If action is possible or necessary, your action will be in alignment with the whole and supported by creative intelligence, the unconditioned consciousness which in a state of inner openness you become one with. Circumstances and people then become helpful, cooperative. Coincidences happen. If no action is possible, you rest in the peace and inner stillness that come with surrender. You rest in God.

    While that may max out y’alls “Earthy-Crunchy-o-meter”, it’s been surprisingly helpful while I’ve been riding the roller-coaster that is being laid off in the middle of an economic meltdown.

    I have 3 friends laid off now (including btp). The latest had just finished a 1 year tour of duty in Afghanistan (Reserves) and was laid off about a week and a half after returning home.
