I can't speak for anyone else, Phoenix, but you're on my home turf with that stuff so no, you definitely haven't confused me.
But speaking of confusion -- I noticed quite a while ago that I don't feel like I really understand anything until I've had a chance to get confused about it.

That goes for the "mystical" stuff like mindfulness, of course, but especially for technical stuff like programming (which I've been known to do on occasion, both for fun and for profit). Oh, so that's how you write a program. And those are the keywords and punctuation you use. And there's the list of functions and what parameters each one requires. Oh, very good, now I understand how to write a program! Only... er, this is kind of embarrassing, but... once I've written it, how do I get it into the computer?

accepting where you are as being exactly where you should be given your circumstances (what has happened to you and your reactions) does not mean being happy or not wanting to change it - its about saying ok I am at A and I want to get to B - first you have to know you are at A.

The thing I find most interesting about knowing for sure that I'm at A, is that it makes it
so-o-o-o much easier to decide if I even want to go to B; and if not, where I
do want to go next.
I'm tickled that the things you just described Linehan talking about, are right in line with everything else I remember appreciating about her at some point.
