But that’s not what Ford means: he means that he wants to teach students to examine their thoughts and reorganize them, so what they think is not just a tape recording of what other people have said, but something they themselves have built that truly harmonizes all of what they want and hope for, without internal contradictions. Nobody else can do that for them.This book is evidence that Ed Ford’s way of helping people reorganize their thoughts is working. It’s not literally possible to help another person reorganize, but it is possible to facilitate that process, to offer a social framework that does not get in the way of reorganization, and even to provide outlines that can help organize the process for those who have lost confidence or achieved a state of confusion, and for the youngest among them who are just starting to get organized for the first time.The suggestions Ed offers are not attempts to solve problems for other people. They wo rk at a higher level than that. For example, Ed asks people to make a list of the things that are most important to them and then number the items to indicate their priorities. That’s not exactly psychotherapyit’s more like coaching. He’s not telling people what should be most important, nor even suggesting items for the list (except as possible examples to show what he means). Nor is he saying which items ought to be more important than others. Like a coach, he’s just showing people how to apply a technique that uses whatever content each person wants to put into it. The result is that people (like a county jail inmate he quotes) say, “You made me think.”Of course Edward Ford can’t make anyone think or tell them what to think.’What he does is to create a framework into which people can put the thoughts that are already there in their heads and look at them from a new point of view which they might not have occupied for a long time. This makes it possible for people to start seeing their own thoughts, wishes, desires, hopes, and intentions in a new light, and to explore ideas for new things of this sort in their minds. Ed would never put it in that intellectual or pompous away; he just says, “I teach them to think,” and most people know, or find out, exactly what he means.https://www.amazon.com/Creating-Peace-Within-Edward-Ford/dp/…
