Hence my knowledge of Dutch has decreased and my way of expressing in Dutch could be labeled as archaic! But there is more to "chasing windmills of the mind": although "knowing who i am" often is pictured as a "goal" it isn't, it "only" enables what could be called "proper functioning".

Enjoy some more. *sighs Send the poem again Jan..... The simple poem that reminded me of children's laughter, Wim's memory of a childhood stunt.... These things worth dwelling on...... No analyzing metaphors for me to day..... Where is your Island Jan? Any more dare devil stunts, Wim? Feeling more nostaligic myself today.... Looking at three cowbells hanging on my wall.... My dead grandmother's door bell.... I love the sound they make together as they ring whenever someone opens the door at her house... She is gone now, but those cowbells when I ring them, bring her close to me. Do I miss her, no...... but it reminds me of happy moments in my grandmother's kitchen frosting cookies, and baking pies..... and thanksgiving dinners. I'm thankful for my step grandmother who treated me like her own. I have her cowbells and her Thanksgiving china ware to remind me of her.. More memories to share? Hugs to all today. ~~~~~With Delight~~~~~ ~~Upon the Waves of Life ~~ ~~~~~Yours Truly~~~~~~ ~~~~~~Lynette~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wim: Excellent. I like that… how you say that, “enabling proper functioning. Would you be willing to say more about that? The analogy that comes to the mind is that of the immune system. Within certain limits, it handles whatever threatens the continuation of physical functioning. When the limits are exceeded, the quality of the system will determine the "if" and "when" of recuperation. "Proper functioning" means here "not getting ill" The immune system is highly adaptable. So is the human behavior - it will direct itself towards happiness, whatever the circumstances. As long as the individual is happy, no limits are exceeded. When knowing "who i am", those limits are widened - so functioning is improved, knowing "where" true happiness comes from. Jan: And the framework determining that is "in the mind"...

That is what happens if you try to stop “one thought chasing another one” Ha, I am having fun with this thread. Love, Wim I don't mean "keep them running" as usual - when the potential for automatic thinking no longer exists, responses are spontaneous - freed from the dross of " I & you" and all opinions regarding that. Yet to respond spontaneously, some mills have to keep running in order to enable such functioning - one isn't conscious of "what happens under the hood". When nevertheless not happy with the situation, that means limits are exceeded and "knowing who i am" results in becoming aware of what hinders (blocks) happiness. As awareness at this "stage" is power (Shakti), the blocks burn out - until none are left... But (of course) this isn't always what can be observed - one might say nature abhors to transform mind-bodies in whom she "invested" much, into those, no longer susceptible to the vicissitudes of their species Love, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mentioned here, “proper functioning,” so I linked it up with the function of “such a one” in this world, say a bodhisattva, avatar, crazy Zen monk, a Ramana kind of being. Such a being’s function gets to be so highly glamorized, romanticized… So I meant to compare my wife’s glamorizing of the shepherd function to the glamour around the function of “such a one.” I have also been told, “You must be so happy, so satisfied, it is so peaceful here…!” and I found myself answering, “It’s just a job, ma’m.” :-) Love, Wim Well, i would have ignored the questioner. Consider this: Who writes a love song on one's body Who dedicates a poem to the air Who sings the glory of water 'Normality' - not a subject But when it comes to "That" Love songs abound Poems abound The glory is sung Although there is but "That" The most 'normal' as there is nothing else. 'That' is the subject as long as something is felt 'missing' Love, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any more dare devil stunts, Wim? The island is Tenerife - one of the Canaries. The ongoing building frenzy is regarded 'unhealthy' by many - even a friend owning a shop in satellite TV longs for a worldwide recession to stop that... In this part of the world, only dial-up connection and some chats gave rise to a few poems on the issue - perhaps this ambiguous one can bring a smile on your face No matter how I frown The line goes down No matter cause it is I feel like Dis Connection clown It happened now to both of us Con acting is a lot of fuzz Love, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
