Whoa, I awoke from a dead sleep with my favorite Beatles tune
rolling through my head and it was as if it was the first time
I'd ever heard it, the tears started to flow and in my minds eye
I was aware of people conversing in a grassy field. As my
"camera eye" moved in, like on a crane from above, I expected it
to stop and experience the people and the conversation but it
was on an odd trajectory and kept moving in and past the people
and I could not make out their conversation. it kept moving in
to the grass and then below it down into the earth and there it
slowly zoomed in on an earth worm and stopped and watched its
movements and listened to the sounds it made. It was
breathtaking.
I was now aware of millions and billions of "planes" of
existence, each a consciousness that for the most part I'm just
normally oblivious of, also the magnification of the
insignificance of the people and their conversation above me on
the grass, I am total vulnerability at this moment, the
vulnerability I talked of but showed none of yesterday. I
watched this worm in my minds eye and I now know why the Jains
sweep. I reached for my laptop to share this experience with my
friends and when I came here Justin had just finished posting a
beautiful expression, as I read it I teared up anew and began to
write this.
I just tried to post what I had written into Justin's new thread
but he'd already deleted his post, thread and all, my post was
lost as well, I've tried my best to rewrite but it's not the
same, partially to share but also to let Justin know that his
beautiful thoughts were not pearls before swine as I'm guessing
was his reason for deleting his thread. I love you guys, thank
you for being you and being here, it's perfect, I apologize for
"i am" going walkabout and that bastard "me" having to stand in
but that's perfect as well.

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
Well...
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps

Fuck Steven,, that's my favourite Beatles song :o
Let me soak in your beautiful expression. I've been in that
place, called Humility.
Thank you for this.

So, All I have to do is cry to get you to stop posting Justin?
Why didn't you tell me that yesterday? ;) I hope you didn't
destroy what you posted earlier, it is way better than the
version you posted at Jed's and I'd love it to be posted here,
I'm quite attached. :-*

Don't sell yourself short Justin, you're a terrific "player" heh
heh...
Reminds me of Caddyshack Judge Smails "Well Ty, I'm no slouch
myself" Ty: "Don't sell yourself short Judge, you're a terrific
slouch"
Justin, what you wrote was honest and clear and vulnerable,
granted I was "high" when I read it but now it will be the song
Tenacious D could only write a tribute song about because it's
gone... Beautiful and sad for me.

Ha, I had a friend who started painting professionally a little
later in life but his talent was huge, I bought one of his very
first paintings I thought he was magnificent. you would walk
into his studio in the evening and he'd have the most beautiful
painting on the easel, fantastic. I'd come back the next day and
it would be gone, wiped off, I and my other artist friends would
nearly pull our hair out, we schemed to sneak into his studio
and steal the paintings before he could ruin them.
He was just a perfectionist and it hindered him for a time,
eventually he learned the no painting would ever be perfect, do
your best, that's good enough.

I just awoke and find it interesting that I have no "need" to
"tell" Jed anything but I felt the desire to "share" here, I'm
guessing the desire for confirmation and a pat on the head is
finally waning and I wanted to clean up my mess here or maybe
it's that when it's a "real" epiphany, when source is involved
the need for confirmation is moot, yeah that feels right.
When Mork called this place a circle jerk, he was right and
wrong, if we are always here, always doing what happened
yesterday then yes, it's exactly what Mork thought but Biisuto
said it well too, if we watch and are thoughtful and self
regulate maybe it won't be, thats up to each member. It's an
exploration and a safe place to interact and practice, try this
in the real world with a couple of zombies (family members), you
think you get to this place the very next day with those people?
Doubtful. So far It's what I hoped it would be.
Anyone can do autolisys by themselves and mostly that's probably
the way it should go but sometimes it might be helpful to have
an audience of like minded but disembodied souls to throw you're
trash on and see what happens, entertaining at worst, connecting
more clearly to source at best :) :) :)

At the risk of sounding arrogant, Steven... don't kid yourself.
You are in for the Navs, a one to one with Jed, so your mind
lulls you into a false sense of non attachment.
You are an asset to him.
I, on the other hand, am facing a complete annihilation from
'Jed world', knowing it's wrapping up. Jed is very cautious
around me, and for good reason.
That's true Alone-ness.
Where did you get that passage from?

Ah, and that's why they call them different paths Nessa, you had
your (tor)mentor, you now call him your nemesis, it's my turn I
guess. What quote? ;)

Yep. I have mixed feelings about the whole ashram/Jed/Navs
thing. While you don't believe there is such a thing as personal
nature - to me it's a given. That's why we interact and resonate
differently with people.
Jed is still human, and should I have met him in physical life I
think we would drive each other nuts. He doesn't want me on the
programme.
Jed's passage about the Forum. where did you lift it from?
