        Working Through Toxicity




        James Anderson


        Abstract
        Everywhere we see a reflection of ourselves. When we see toxicity, it is also a mirror into
        our inner world. To annul toxicity, we must work through it. We have to learn to purify our
        atmosphere by attentive and committed practice.

                                                 We can choose to live in blissful surrender
                                                 or become victims of our own nightmares.

                                                 therefore it receives a mixed image. There
                                                 is rarely a simple a black and white image
                                                 but one with an overriding cloudiness in
                                                 between. However, even in our most obscure
