Well not sure what that means but...Nessas hashing it out with
seekers on her own site. Mike is over there on the Jed Facebook
page. Pretty sure Steve is painting stuff. I'm just playing with
"reality." Achieving all of my desires and letting go of
everything else. Hope all is well with you fritz!

I'm okay. Just dabbling with life, working at the Zoo two days a
week, playing some piano and bass-guitar, and, when asked,
explaining things about what some might call "enlightenment" to
anyone who wants to know, just for the fun of it, cos they don't
really want to know what it is... or more accurately, what it
isn't.
I'm just "being", basically, until the body drops dead. ;D

Hey guys, as "things" continue to not really hold up under
scrutiny, life just gets simpler and simpler and this space
(which 3 years ago was so foriegn yet unmistakably "It")
continues to deepen into home ground (thin air). Like a comfy
chair that over time forms to the contours of the body, this
seems to form around and encompass the mind and all thoughts
arising from it, instantly diffusing any and all energies that
once accompanied said thoughts.
Consequently this is a beautiful and stunningly simple place to
reside.
Made all the more evident by the ever running Sideshow, in all
places at all times, in every corner of the globe."Not my
monkey, not my circus" was never more apt than when watching the
show unfold around awareness, "me" just an afterthought and at
best a tool, more than anything else. Book Jed's quotes still
wander in at times with new and ever deepening relevence from
here, "further" was not an injunction toward any goal per se
(not that it wasn't either) but is just a fact to remember when
stopping to enjoy the chaos of the circus from just outside the
opening of the bigtop.
Sounds like ya'll are experiencing the same ;D Cheers!

“Not my circus not my monkey" ;D couldnt agree more. It seems
the minds ability to to observe itself really creates a space in
which the thoughts and dramas that used to feed it lose their
juice entirely. Like a venus fly trap in wait its ready to
snatch up those little life forms promptly and discard of them.
“It” remains, leaving you firmly rooted in the simplicity of
the moment. Yet the “circus” is, and the “monkeys” are still at
large but most of them haven't found that there is something
outside the “big show.” That's okay, just somewhat puzzling from
an outsider's perspective.
Yet the show goes on.. It is amazingly simple. I say that while
just finishing up a move into a bigger house. The little lady
and I expecting at the end of this year. Got promoted again.
Truck blew up so I figured the only logical thing to was get a
new 5.0 mustang :D. And all of those things happening within the
last month or so. Not once has it felt overwhelming or
unwelcome. It seems learning to steer the ship with the winds
rather than against them leads one most easily to the next
destination and I find myself consistently grateful on this
voyage. Simply admiring the waves as they come up.
Good to hear from you :)

Sounds like life is living you nicely Justin! What a great space
to engage all that from, if I had a wish it might be that I had
knocked down the house of cards that was "me" prior to having
children et al, I'd surely have passed on better information
from a position as "no one" rather than as an idiot full of
sound and fury signifying nothing. But thankfully I don't have
any wishes ;D
If you feel like it Justin, keep us a little updated as to your
engagement with the circus, "in but not of" as it were...
Cheers,
Sklato

I appreciate the intrest. As it stands the most valuable thing
I've learned is to master my attention. Finding awareness as
boundless I simply focus on the things that interest, excite me
and I am passionate about. The things that do not illicit those
feelings get no attention whatsoever and with that being the
case, they simply do not exist or reoccur in awareness. They are
not. It's really that simple.
At one point I seem to be able to remember finding value in
writing and expressing what was going on here. That seems to be
waning. The more I immerse myself into the things I love and
enjoy the less time or desire I have to live secondarily to them
in the mind. Writing about it. I prefer to be right on the edge
of my seat when the show is getting good and when its it's not I
get up and walk out of the theater rather than hanging out to
complain about it.
Nevertheless, I'll probably find time to swing by the kave just
to say hi to some old friends. Always good to hear from you.
