What IS Inquiry?

February 1, 2002

Dear Gloria,

I can only thank you for your heartfelt support of the noble Wizzulwozzul

cause, and for your deep empathy with the spiritual as well as the social

needs of Mr. and Mrs. Wizzulwozzul. Yes, we all sometimes feel that higher

calling - something inside us that will ultimately lead the sincere seeker

to the august state of true Wizzulwozzuldom in which there is neither Wizzul

nor Wozzul.

As through deep intuition you have now found out my esoteric links with

Wizzulwozzul lore, the time has come to reveal to the world that I am the

Grandmaster of the Most Secret Order of Wizzulwozzolry. Grandmaster, as I am

sure Hillary will agree, is almost as advanced as Grandma.

Have a happy Groundhog Day!

Michael

PS. Poor Akilesh, he will think he posted to the wrong list. But this

Wizzulwozzul creation of his was just too tempting to ignore. :-)

Dear Mike,

Back when you first spoke so reverently about weasels and groundhogs, I

began

to suspect some secret esoteric knowledge of Wizzulwozzuls lurked in your

background. Thanks for speaking up for them, but let's not blame Akilesh for

what is after all a common misunderstanding. Their association with

groundhogs

has led many to blame them for the prolongation of winter. Of course, the

real reason they poke their little heads out is to start looking for a Mrs.

Wizzulwozzul and not even the worst winter weather ever stops that quest.

That,

we can all understand.

Anyway, no doubt there is a great deal of nonsense in the legends and

superstitous lore about many creatures, why should Wizzulwozzuls be exempt?

Few can answer that ultimate question "Who is Wizzulwozzul?"

Still, who of us does not have some Wizzulwozzol in us, deep in our hearts?

Peace,

Gloria

Hi Akilesh,

in the name of Wizzulwozzuls around the world I must protest sharply against

your attempt to relegate us to the realm of nonsense. Have you no heart? No

human feelings? Don't you know that Wizzulwozzuls are peaceful and friendly

and try to love their fellow Wizzulwozzul to the best of their ability? The

Wizzulwozzul community cannot but feel hurt and insulted at these racist and

derogatory remarks directed against a minority, and I believe an apology is

due.

Wishing you a happy Groundhog Day I remain

very sincerely yours,

Michael

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. Welcome all to a.

My deepest apologies, my Wizzulwozzulian friend! But please understand

my babblings as the involuntary twitchings of someone caught deep in the

Net of Samskarozzulry and who is trying desperately to escape! Surely

you can find it in your truly Wizzulwozzulian heart to forgive me. :-)
