Dear Mark,

I think I was feeling a little bit too

vulnerable earlier to appreciate your sense of humor.

Please consider my reaction just another blunder

for the Akashic records, K?

 

Love,

Kheyala

 

 

P.S. I am ready this time, if you decide to

answer this with a joke.

 

Dear Kheyala,

 

I admire this post, and I apologize if you felt badly as a result of

anything I said. I do, now and then, rise up and get very silly here.

It's my way of both amusing myself and observing things and probably

protecting myself from my own vulnerability. I know very intimately the

feeling of vulnerability, and I'm learning that having it, honoring it,

allowing others to know about it is deep sadhana. In my opinion,

complete and open vulnerability is complete strength. I also believe

(suspect?) (maybe even understand) that this whole human experience is a

joke, and that when we get it and laugh along at ourselves, it's a hoot,

and when we feel embarrassed or angry that the joke is at our expense,

we suffer. Ultimately, there may well be no "our" for the expense to be

at. Anyway, in your post today, it seemed to me that you observed your

own vulnerability, and then "got it" that it was okay. My post was

meant in celebration of that truth, and so is this post.

 

I'm not joking. I love you,

Mark

ps keep poking at that vulnerability, it's your heart, and there is only

one of it in the whole universe. (and it's big and beautiful)

Wow. I really get that. Om.

All paths go

somewhere. 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.
