Reprinted by arrangement with Arcturus Publishing, > London. Book available in the U.S. through Barnes & Noble, www.bn.com Life is filled with these great games. Everyone trying to get their snouts in the feeding tray...bin, whatever... Fear of not having any and being left out, fear of getting more and having to watch out... There's that one where the roosters fight over who gets to stand one legged on the pile of shit... People are so stuck in the game these days. Boss comes down on ya, it's almost like an acid trip...he's so INTO what he's doing, he cares so much, and it's like he can't escape...he's attached to everything...strings pulling him this way and that...wow...it's just like a real acid trip seeing people sometimes. Just think about the last time your boss came down on you. LOL Don't forget to look at yourself next though. You're a puppet too. From there, make your own choice. People get stuck there though...don't know what to decide. I always just say what I do. Yeah, I keep some attachments. I'm a total slave to a few of'em. <shrug> Everyone does. They tell you they don't, they're not telling you the truth. Hell, why would you wanna be the Mr. Perfect of the enlightenment community anyhow? Goodie-Two-Shoes! LOL :> I still hang onto a few illusions, and I would end my life for the life of my daughter in a moment... It a really weird one for me to tell ya the truth. It doesn't make sense to me. I try tracing it back to where it could have possibly come from...and it's almost like it's not a choice...it's like...it's how it's going to go down, or how it's supposed to go down...really weird. i.e. I don't get it. I don't know anything about karma, but maybe that that's real and has something to do with it...I don't know. <shrug> My favorite illusion is that I can live in my ego. I know that in every moment that I am there and this is all a choice. There can be forgetting though...and ya know, that's hard. <shrug> Once you pop, you can't stop. Once you know you're there, you're there and you can't make you go away. Yeah, that's the suffering I keep. I don't mind sharing that, though it's pretty deep and personal. My suffering is from that, not by anything anyone can say about it. LOL :> My games and attachments. There's no winning or losing these games, and you can choose to play or not to play. It isn't in the playing or not playing, winning or losing, it's how you play the game... Choose whether you wanna be attached or not, if you play or not...etc. What's the rush anyway? Sounds like someone trying to escape something, not to seek enlightenment. SoulDr0p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
