Guest guest Posted February 20, 2001 Report Share Posted February 20, 2001 mumble cat [mumblecat] Tuesday, February 20, 2001 9:03 AM The End of the Rope Dear Wim, Could you /please/ do an Indian rope trick and have this particular exchange with Judi about the Rope Ranch and her way of running her list disappear into thin air from this list ? It'll just go on and on and is of limited interest here. This is actually the second time I have had to ask you to take your business with Judi off list. I don't want to ask you again. Love, Amanda. Hi Amanda. I am really the guilty party here! I brought up Wim's name in the first place in response to Judi and got it all started. Wim had been gone for a while and had probably been spending time with his wife who had been away for many months engaged in humanitarian work. This is why he did not respond right away. He was spending time with his beloved. When Wim came back and saw his name mentioned (by yours truly), he took the cue and responded to Judi's posts with his characteristically sharp insights. In summary, I should be punished and not Wim. I am putting myself on probation for the next two hours and will not post. Wim is being pardoned unconditionally. I want to assure everyone that there is no quid-pro-quo here and neither Wim nor his wife have contributed to my campaign or my library. Thank you everyone Love Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2001 Report Share Posted February 20, 2001 Dear Harsha, How absolutely right you are about me and my wife and your ensuing observations. None of us have to take any blame though. This is about the real problem with verbal and written communication. I wanted to show some of that as it is at the root of the seeming inability of humans to live directly without being hampered by the indirect usage of language... that Judi so aptly demonstrates, showing more twists and turns and loops in her strings of words as misunderstanding carries on and goes through the roof. Have been doing a lot of intensive work with language (as engrams and epigrams) with a 'live in' client of mine. I thought seriously about taking this "rope job" off list; Amanda's suggestion is not without value. But for the time being I thought it worthwhile to show where this leads to, also I wanted to show how one so easily gets at the wrong end of the stick... or rope :-) at the TEOTR ranch. Of course the way Jerry would handle this with humour would be more enjoyable, but we cannot (or don't have to) do that all the time. Harsha, your inclusion of my name in your initial response to Judi included good well meant laughter... into which I did not join right away... I found Judi's response to you about the "our" business unwarranted but instead of having you respond to it (or indeed ignore it) I took it up for us, "our" satsangh. This is Satsangh, a being together in which we can surely unravel some twisted rope.... My God I am as good as Judy in using metaphors, I might just join up with her again as I think the invitation is still open. Or is it a lasso trick to rope me in and bring me to the slaughterhouse. Moo, hoo, hahaha.... grinning really. Language which almost by definition is an indirect way of communicating lends itself better to lyrics, songs and poetry (Mace ?) and should in a way never go without melody, the way Chinmoy speaks or I assume Krishna exchanged his loving words. The mudslinging feature of language is hilariously illusive as mud does not stick to sound.... Love and smiles to you Harsha, Amanda and Judi, Wim - "Harsha" <harsha-hkl <> Tuesday, February 20, 2001 5:17 AM Wim is pardoned!

No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

Well, I'm glad to hear that, and glad to hear the guilty party has been punished as befits their trespass. Justice has been exacted. Love, Amanda.
