Spiritually Transmitted Diseases/Lynette

[Guest guest]

As I see it, Enlightenement or Life, is the one thing that never comes

nor goes, so it doesn't get lost nor does it return. What comes and

goes indeed are all those intricate views and experiences within

life. The only place where one can speak of walking the razor's edge

is in the midst of life as it is happening as an experiental reality.

In my life many views and beliefs have come and gone. And sure they

are beautiful as they come, some insights have really turned me into

pure ecstacy, but they are still temporal; they also depart one day,

to make room for yet another insight or another discovery. Realizing

that one never leaves or abandons that which one is, is the one

thread that seems to tie all those experiences together into one

coherent concept called 'my life'.

@@@@@@ Makes sense to me.

My kids are great teachers. Not so much because they inform me of

something new I hadn't realized yet, but because they continually

remind me of what I already know, and turn it into a fresh and

concept-free experience, instead of an old and dusty memory. Kids

don't care for issues like "how it is supposed to be". They just are

as it is, and that's it. You can take it or leave it, like or dislike

it, but that is all they offer.

That, to me, is a self renewing teaching every day.

I have three daughters by the way.

@@@@@ very true.... How old are your daughters on a personal note?? I

have a 13 yr old daughter, a 7 yr old daughter, and a 6 yr old son,

and a very ornery 41 yr old husband.. lol

Love, Lynette

I have three daughters: 10, 7 and 6 yrs old, and my future husband

(Mark) has two daughters of 19 and 16 years old... Mark seems to be

quite comfortable though, surrounded by such an overwhelming majority

of female energy..... ;-)

Thank you for sharing that Mira. Interesting, how I can see that those

who become enlightened first, as a single, then merge into a

relationship. Might possibly have difficulty with the transition. It

makes sense, that in the "act of living", one might deny their true

expression of themselves. But has never really left their

enlightenment.

I can see how the path of meditation, and self awareness might be put

aside for the "human" needs involved in a relationship. A delicate

balance to be sure. For those of us who are happily married before

such a search begins, lies a different story. The daily struggle from

day one to "live" and remember to continue rediscovering yourself...

becomes interestingly enough, a teeter tooter... I find myself

looking forward to the silence during the week when the kids are in

school and the husband off to work.... so I can rediscover myself,

and then equally wish for the weekend and evenings so that I can

"live"... The love of life that used to be non existent, taking on a

new dimension with the daily reminder of children... for those of us

with young children.... do we see their truth so much more clearly? I

do..... Since I've released so many of my own memories... my daughters

have revealed so much of themselves to me.. One has seen my

grandmother, another can see auras, one explained reincarnation to

me, and another explained how we are destroying the earth... {off

subject.... sorry} But to me, the middle path is not always a

straight middle path, but a meandering one. I think I prefer to stop

and smell the flowers along the way ,with my children. They have so

much to teach me.

Ah, and we'll see how robust

that comfort is when suitors

come a-callin' -- in droves!
