Honesty vs. Compassion
I think I am falling in a trap, lately. I tend to have a hard time relating with people when they talk about their struggles and problems. I feel like I can clearly see through their crap and often point out ways of how they are being dishonest to themselves instead of taking responsibility. I tend to do this instead of showing acceptance and compassion towards them. I am assuming that I know how they would be better off and that I have to behave as their teacher. I think that I am being honest, yet at times, this behaviour makes it hard to relate to people. Has anybody else experienced this at some point? I think the broader question is, how to effectively balance honesty and compassion?

@Diego Arzola Yep, thats me in some of those situation... And most of the time, this is not effective at all.

@Viktor Balogh Thanks! For some reason asking permission for critique never occoured to me. Intellectually sure, but never like a real possibility. Gotta try that. I have found myself creating an experience like the one youre discribing a bunch of times, lately. Spitting my worldview at them, seemingly without caring, oftentimes noticing that this isn't effective for supporting them. Real listening seems to be a key to compassion, really being with a person, in my experience, too. However I still have to work out how to reconcile real listening with getting something accross. Working out how to first establish connection without creating the necessity for the other person to change and then starting to assist them from that place seems to be necessairy.
A little behind the scenes from Peter and his new book! Whereof One Cannot Speak
Peter made some audio recordings for his new book Whereof One Cannot speak. I am helping and turning them into some audio based YouTube videos. Here is a draft in progress that I am sharing with you here first. It is unlisted and not publicly available. Enjoy! Look for more on Peter's youTube channel soon!

Wow, thanks for that. Are there plans for Peter doing an entire audiobook recording?

Great to hear. I am based in Stuttgart and therefore cannot attend on a regular basis. But I would love to join for any kind of day/weekend long workshop, if that is something you would consider doing in the future.
2 legged dog
Peter talks about 3 legged dogs a lot and that they seem to be totally at ease since they don't hold their situation as a predicament. So here is a video of Deuce, a dog with just 2 legs left. Watching my mind while watsching this video is insightful, noticing that I tend to hold things like "There is no way that little fella can be this happy. How is it even possible that he is able to walk." Revealing how I hold my happieness and my ability to be so much dependent on my corporal integrity.
Wasting Life is Impossible
Thanks to @Viktor Balogh and everyone's contributions in yesterday's weekly session, I felt free from one of my core assumptions about life: 'This life is the only life I have, and I mustn't waste it.' I've had this one since childhood. I realise how some of my core suffering has stemmed from it. I've pressed myself to do something great, to sacrifice my life for a greater cause, etc. I realise I still can carry on with the work I consider meaningful, but simply because I find it joyful, and that's it. And it dawned on me: Life Can't Be Wasted. Wasting life is impossible! What I thought of as Life before is a great Something that is ever-continuing, ever-flowing. It is Real and ever-present and a mystery that sustains itself irrespective of what I happen to assume about it. Great session yesterday! Thanks, everyone.

I can relate to this. In the last few days, I was able to see how much suffering I create for myself, when I hold "I have to make the most out of my life!". For me, this usually comes with an conceptual image of myself, lying on my deathbed, having regrets and wishing for things to be different. Letting go of ideals that I compare myself against, is a big part of the work I am doing.
