		<description>I am wondering whether &quot;holistic&quot; is sort of another (positive) term for saying &quot;scriptless&quot; ( == holistic thinking == freedom !== automatic behavior).

Holistic thinking means no limitations in our own thinking imho. This freedom is NOT to be confused with the absense of an ethical standard of the individual being from a human point of view. If somebody abuses freedom after overcoming scripted behavior, there is actually just another script at work, not freedom. So, &quot;Freedom&quot; also can be an illusion, I guess.

Isn&#039;t it all about integrating our fears and experiences? There is some interesing writing about Good and Evil related to the &quot;danger&quot; of freedom. Of course it is questionable how to handle freedom when overcoming some of our automatic behaviors. Also I think that those categories of Good and Evil are just black and white thinking and thus motivated by some script, which was established in the very early days of our individual lives. But it seems to me that the truly Beautifil Mind is full of colors. At least this feels more like an agreeable way of thinking. With this attitude in mind: Can it also be fun to discover one&#039;s own scripts then, discovering &quot;more colors&quot;?

When I was reading Berne&#039;s book it actually scared me a lot because I felt how well it described things going on in my own mind. By that time I was very much focused on the destructive impact of scripts on different kinds of relationships. Seeing my own truth of automatisms was hard to swallow. Embracing even the most scary insights is exactly the challenge towards scriptless behavior and holistic thinking, isn&#039;t it?!</description>

		<description>This is what I do, Andrew. I pushed the whole GTD approach into the &quot;Do&quot; realm. First, I Assess if something is ok, overloading my system  with it. The I Decide (like signing the contract: bounding it to time and space) when and where I&#039;m going to do it.

And in the Do realm I apply some of my GTD rules, like the 2 minutes rule, organizing actions by next actions and so on.</description>

		<description>My GTD lists are my scripts. Perhaps I could make a hybrid workflow with ADD, taking the parts of GTD that worked for me, without living on auto-pilot off my lists?</description>

		<description>Absolutely: living by script is existing :-) I alose loved your point about the 30-60 minutes awareness limit, totally with you on that one.</description>

		<description>Following my Assess-Decide-Do framework, that is a thing you should first Assess. It&#039;s up to you. You know better. If you think you can go along with a TA therapist, then by all means, make a Decision, and Do it!</description>

		<description>Thanks for the comment Karen, and yes, the more aware we are, the easier to change our current scripts. But the real value is to have no script at all. Just be there and live now.</description>

		<description>Hey Marko, thanks for the nice words. Eckhart Tolle is clearly one of the few guys living a scriptless life who are also very popular. And I think he&#039;s doing a great job at letting people live to their highest potential... :-)</description>

		<description>Thanks, that was really powerful. The idea of creating your own script as opposed to following an unconscious one is surely an appealing one. Depending on how much you want to really surrender to that new script, it can be the path to a scriptless life. 

But there&#039;s a trap. Playing a role which once was nice over and over again, without really taking into account reality could be as devastating as playing the unconscious roles...</description>
