Terry in Harshaland

[Guest guest]

I went down to the post office to buy a money order for $89.95,

excited that TeeGee was going to send me the "bargain of a lifetime,

enlightenment in one easy lesson" and two burning bushes for prompt

reply to the offer!!!! I stopped in at the Better Business Bureau and

the nice lady there said they had no record of the TeeGee Corporation,

but said, "We always recommend that people should not send dualistic

dollars to non-dual corporations. Who knows if they are real? This

is just leads to more seeking..." I noticed her nametag just said,

"Judi". She laughed, "Heh, heh....". I didn't know what to do after

that, and a nice man offered me a ride (there is a transit strike in

Vancouver just now), but he didn't take me home. I ended up at the

aquarium in front of the Lobster tank. I stared for what seemed like

hours, but I couldn't understand a thing. Just a tank teeming with

life. No answers here, I thought, and started off home, but fell into

a hole in the sidewalk. "Get out of here before it's too late",

yelled Tim. There seemed like a thousand voices: "It's spring in

Victoria", said Wim, "Dependent Co-arising", said Greg, "Nothing

happening here, everything happening here," said Dan, "Rigpa", said

Joyce, "...said Ramana", said Vicki, and a nice man named Jan was

uploading pictures of his cats to his computer, and I was more

confused than ever. If only I had sent that money order...oh my god,

it was my only hope. Deep despair. Who am I? How can I directly

experience something, anything? Can I get out of this hole? Please

send me the ending to this exciting adventure. Need help, Terry.

Here's the problemo Ter... :

I stopped in at the Better Business Bureau and the nice lady there said

they had no record of the TeeGee Corporation,

where there is doubt, there is fear, such as:

Firstly (is that a word?), Are you single? :-)

*Who* (cough cough) wants the

ending of an exciting adventure...

where's the fun in that?

As a (cough cough)(damn cigarettes) psychic

who tells the future

people are always surprised

and happy

when they are told where they are right here

right now

Completely catches them offguard.

When they see where they are,

they can see where they are going

and don't need me.

You still need me though.

Send more money.

Love,

Hi Terry,

 

For you.... from one of my teachers, Da Free John

 

You will simply begin to listen, and when this process in

consciousness has begun, you will begin to observer yourself, see

yourself under the condtions of life. This process of

self-observation, carried on here in our discussions about this

contraction, this avoidance of relationship, and in all your study,

reading, and living of this way, at some point becomes communcation

received, real observation of how, yes! this contraction, this

avoidance, is the quality of your life.

 

"When you see that you are always seeking, understanding is emerging.

When you see the pattern of Narcissus as all your motives, all your

acts, all your seeking, understanding is emerging. When you see you

are always suffering, understanding is emerging. When you see that

every moment is a process in dilemma, understanding is emerging. When

you see that every moment, when you are at your best as well as when

you are at your worst, you are only avoiding relationship, then you

understand. When you see that which already is, apart from the

avoidance of relationship, which already absorbs consciousness prior

to the whole dilemma, motivation, and activity of avoidance, then you

have finally understood.

Hole?

Interesting metaphor for what you are experiencing.

 

Holes are...

well, empty.

 

Nothing in 'em.

 

Hmmm.

 

Also interesting that 'hole'

sounds like 'whole'.

 

I dare you to discover

what's so scary 'bout this whole.

Watch for the white rabbit muttering, "I'm late! I'm late!" Follow him,

and when you find the tea party, sit down and relax and have some more tea.

But don't butter your watch... the butter doesn't suit the works.

 

Love,

LOL

What a joy you are tg,

the check is in the post.

Is Life a Miracle?

Sure.

Are the living dead in hell?

Sure.

[dig up Terry - no more clues]

I am reminded of a Nasrudin story:

 

"Nasrudin why do you have such an interesting life?"

"Well," said Nasrudin, "I never listen

to people unless they tell me a joke . . ."

 

Ramana was a smiley - what was his favourite joke?

Anyone?

1. Yes, the "I" can get out of the hole because it is only imagination.

"Who am I" = "nobody home but help desk available".

2. No, the "I" can't get out of the hole because it was never in it.

"Who am I" = "nobody home and help desk closed".

(take your pick...).

 

Regarding 2, the adventure was nice. But that goes only for those "already dead"

<laugh>

Thanks Lobster... it's been such great joy to me seeing you pop up

here. I sincerely hope you stay awhile.

LOL! I like this guy Nasrudin.

I don't know, but I'd love to hear it. What is it? In the meantime,

here's a fun one:

 

********

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.

The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale

to swallow a human person because even though a whale

is very big, its' throat is very small.

 

The little girl stated Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

 

The teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a person;

it was impossible.

 

The girl said, "When I get to heaven, I'll ask Jonah."

 

The teacher said, "What if Jonah went to hell?"

 

The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."
