Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 Hi Today the computer was down for 5 hours. I ussually start the day by reading some eamils from discussion forums. That I could not today. I could suddenly see a tremor of frustration spreading thru the being. What was I to do ?!.. I thought. I could not even do my work. I turned on the radio. And felt sad... because I could see that my otherwise pretty good ability to rest/be in aloneness and the what-is (which was there before the availability of internet contact) was not there any longer. Instead, a dependency on this form of email busy- ness and rather 2nd hand and limitted, form of relating. Perhaps I should take an email 'fast' for a while. Have you felt on occasions the same thing ? jb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi jb, If you would take a fast, take a complete one, that is a solitary life for say, 3 months... And it would become clear that it will be quite pleasant - because of the process of preparation. When that would happen suddenly, without preparation, it would feel a bit worse than being shut off from the Internet for a while... The habit mind is quite strong and the human mind-body is well fitted for communication - a flow of energy.. When that flow suddenly is cut off, it will be painful, dependent on the amount that is cut off... That option will only end when feeling pain no longer is possible...
