Guest guest Posted April 30, 2003 Report Share Posted April 30, 2003 In the year 2000, in the year of my journey into discontent and dissatisfaction with all the years of intense Kriya meditation and waiting for some thing to occur, it occurred to the Friend to send me a computer. I joined my first , quite by what appeared, as accident. Hmm. I had heard of a site that would give you a specific age at which you would die if you typed in all the pertinent details of behavior and experience. It was called death.com. But when I typed that in, I didn’t find myself in front of my hoped-for probability of departure. I found myself at a site called Near-death.com. and they mentioned something called "." It was news to me that any such thing even existed. So I joined nde at . Neat-o. People talking about God and death and the going price for lightening strikes to the heart. I was just embarking on hearing the barkless dog’s bite when to my delight, I found Harsha’s satsang and the NondualitySalon. So I sat down and began reading what everyone was talking about. Talk about a kid who thought she could swim and then suddenly finding herself in the midst of olympic athletes! I was bowled over at the clarity and the comic caustic-ness, the clear cosmic hum coming from some, like Wimji and Gregsan and Dan the man, and the cause I promoted, (me) having no ground to camp on, caught on quick, via ego, that I better sit tight and keep a lid on it. So I did. I hid in my head and watched and wondered how they all did it, how they all delightedly dialogued and dittoed and dickered and delighted in the Tao of there being no doer. Somewhere along the way I decided to test the waters. It was inevitable because I was just a wave and the only way back home to the Heart-Sea was to wander fearlessly into the waters of inquiry and surrender as to the why and wherefore I wanted and seemed to need to protect an image of myself "being in the know." You know, like in my school days when I was tormented terribly by the slings and arrows of unkindness and indifference and elitism because I was different, I had arthritis and I walked with a limp, and like Jong had said, it was as if I were Jacob, walking with a limp after having just tasted fire. I know now that it was all just a case of mistaken identity. I believed I was a victim and they believed they were victims and we all victimized one another in our erroneous belief in doership and identification to the parts we played as the Play made mincemeat out of our hearts and hauled our heads around like a sack of wheat heading for the millstone. How to keep the heart intact and the head full and haloed, that was my art and my gift, to protect the only thing that had ever been a true and loyal friend to me – this Darling ego, this Wonderful friend, with me ‘til the end of time, telling me stories of rejection and recoil, toil and trouble, glory-bubbles being burst in the worst way by way of displaying all the wayward wanderers who haunted my now with the past chant of "Be careful. The ‘others’ will hurt you, abuse you, judge you, reject you, and they will not love you, they cannot love you like I love you…". Their idea of a fine repast? To paste up, post up on persona poles across cyber-space, every single experience and being who I had dreamed had harmed me, had humiliated me, had horrified me, had had a hand in hacking my heart to pieces with leaving me, not liking me, not adoring me and those war-mongers of wu wasted in wanting unconditional love, these were the wraith-like wringers of fingers feeling for safety and fearing falling with every step and stumble along the way. As Rumi said, "Where can I be safe?" In giving up all trying. In seeking outcomes and goals. Recognizing that I was tormenting myself from a million faces traced with my own fearful finger in time and space as the ghosts I needed to face most to give the old heave-ho to the old ideas and imaginings born in the past that had me spell-bound, dream-clown drowned and going ‘round and ‘round the old mulberry bush (hi Sandeep!) and then letting that ship of fools sink in the drinking of the draught of – There is no doer." I didn’t get it until I got it. I was given a lift in the gifts given from the Judis and the Genes, from the James’ and the Johns, from the Jills and from the Glos, from the ones who know and from the ones who don’t. Bottom line…I don’t know jack shit. I don’t owe jack shit. I now sometimes know jack’s shit and I know that I stowed jack’s shit in the bit where I bought into my own myth and self-importance. Teehee. Take it down to me…identity…indignity…insecurity…infirmity…insanity of I, I, I …inscrutably and indisputably the best itch that ever scratched it’s own ass! Give it up to the friends laying on hands at Harsha’s and the Salon and demanding that all hands be held open Heart-wide as a sign that there is no need to harbor fear. Benediction of the Bhava-bringers is bringing this house down and all my clever clowns are running out with their heads on fire. Desire for outcomes is overcome in the coming out of the closet of clinging to myths and tales of an independent doership and is dipping its tendency-foot in the flaming bathwater of little flickers of fana flowering into blaze and burn.
