Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 Bobby, thank you for this. A lock just clicked open in me. love eric. I went to a movie yesterday afternoon and as I watched the previews I looked for the sorrow in me. I couldn't find it. Then I realized I had never noticed looking for it before. I had just noticed the sorrow itself. The sorrow had been created by the looking and expectation but I had never noticed this. This act of looking for it was very clear and once realized, I could remember doing it before. All during the movie I kept looking for the sorrow that was with me for so long but it was gone from its usual spot. I had a nice dream last night where I offered my ex-wife, now deceased, some of my Mother's rare pear butter for her biscuit. She heaped it on as I hoped she would cause it's best that way. I glowed at her. As she chewed with a full mouth, she smiled broadly at me the way she used to. Thank you Harshaji and everybody on the list for being here. Love Bobby G. /join 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.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 Dear Eric Thank you for replying. I read this passage from Ramana Maharshi this morning. Hastamalaka Strota # 9. I am the single conscious Self, illumining all intellects, just as the sun simultaneously illumines all eyes so that they perceive objects. something deep stirs Until later, Bobby G. , ErcAshfrd@a... wrote: > > Bobby, > > thank you for this.
