Dear Greg,

Strawberry Ice cream?! Lol.

 

The only talk of an enlightened one that we had going in our house

was when my dad would yell, "Jesus Christ!" whenever my dog farted.

(this was accompanied by a rather sudden and passionate waving of the

newspaper he was reading at the time)

 

:)

 

 

My father always said that his farts smelled like strawberry ice

cream.Love,--GregAt 07:03 AM 10/9/01 -0700, d b wrote:>552. The

I once had a girlfriend whose

dad was such a fastidious prude

that she swore he shat vanilla

ice cream in little plastic

bags. :-)

Number 546.

 

If you have read this far, you are

now in the process of permanently losing

the memory functions involved in knowing

you're enlightened.

 

Even if you become enlightened five hundred

lifetimes from now, you won't be able to

remember what it was like.

Don, I mean Dave, I mean Jan, uh ...

Dear Greg,

 

Maybe we can set something up officially later, but I will be with my wife

Emmy in New York in November 13, 14, 15, mostly museums and Ground Zero.

After that, off to aura work in the Florida Keys (Duck Key), then to an area

around Hartford (Connecticut).

 

Cell 250 812 2911

 

Who knows, we could meet over coffee... or ...

I just realize something...

this actually is a BIG realization...

I have just,

by reading your email and by responding to it,

forfeited my enlightenment...

but what I did though...

I gained realization...

 

Actually, such I realized all along... so nothing lost nothing gained...

 

Love, Wim

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

Hi Wim,

 

My mobile number is 646-436-6444. Give me a call when you get in town! If

you need anything set up for work, I can facilitate some publicity, maybe

even a space!

 

Love,

 

--Greg
