Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Don the Nondual Shrink By Pete You haven't said a word since the session began, Eric, " said Dr Don. " I was waiting for you to finish typing on your laptop. " " No, no. Typing happens by itself. My mind is all yours. Go ahead. " " Aha! Sure, I'm here because I'm disturbed, not because I'm dumb. " " No, really, Eric, everything happens on its own. There is no doer. Tell me about your mother. Do you feel better now that we discussed her in our last session? " " Yes I do. " " How do you feel about her now? " " She is no longer an issue. " " Excellent! How did that come about? " " I killed her. " " Hmm! I hope you don't mean that literally, Eric. " " Yes I do. I stabbed her to death. " " Hmm! Doesn't that bother you? " " Yes, I'm very upset. " " Good! Tell me about it. " " I stabbed her while she was asleep on my bed. She bled a lot, Dr. She ruined my new orthopedic mattress, that thing cost me a fortune. " " Don't you feel sorry for what you did? Don't you wish you could take it back? " " I certainly do. " " Very good. That's a healthy reaction. Tell me more. " " Well, it was a hassle to cut her in little pieces and stuff her in ziploc bags. It took me a whole day. Then, all the bags didn't fit in the old freezer, so I had a buy a new one. New mattress, new freezer, my credit card is max out. On top of it all, I was fired from my job for being honest. " " What do you mean fired for being honest? " " Well, I had to ask for two days off to take care of my mother. So my boss asked me what was wrong with her, and I told her I was chopping her up and putting her in Ziploc bags. She said my absenteeism wasn't a thing to joke about any longer. And she yelled, 'you're fired!' " " Do you understand honesty is not always the best policy? " Doctor Don said, looking worried. " I can see that. You have been typing all along, but you are going to charge me for the whole session. " " You have a serious problem accepting reality, Eric. You don't pay for my services, your medical insurance does. There is nothing wrong with overcharging an insurance company, or Medicare, " said Dr. Don in a stern tone of voice. " It's cheating, it's fraud. You are committing a crime. " " No son, It's a perfectly acceptable practice, and entirely within the hypocritical oath as interpreted by most doctors, and the Republican Party. " " Even so, why do you have to do all that typing? Let your medical assistant do it. " " I'm the owner of a nondual internet list. I have a duty to stimulate sincere inquiry. " " Wow! What's the name of the list? " " The Room for this, and that. " " Cool! Can I join? " " No, Eric. It's by invitation only, and, only for mature, serious seekers. " " I killed my mother. Isn't that serious enough? " " Hmm! Let me think about it. Is there anything else you want to discuss? We still have a minute. " " Do you have any room in your freezer?

" e# i know that one, Shakespeare, i checked on the net too, the whole quote is: " Life is a story told by an idiot all sound and fury, signifying nothing. " i beg to differ, life is very meaningful and coherent, but of course impossible to prove one way or another, it is all a matter of subjectivity.

That quote is a great association, the truth is very close now. Yes, it's clear that it all goes back to that incident, so long ago, when you came home with a bloody nose, and told your mom how the older boy and his brother next door beat you up and took your lunch money. And she said, " Ah, just another one of your idiotic stories. " Good work on this. We've unearthed the trauma, now we need to connect with your feelings. Now, what was that you said about your mother and the bedsheets? -- Doc Don Von Frankenschtein von Willieshake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if you believe in it) to see meaning in life through the mind (in which you are at the moment) is a sure sign you are far from no-mind, or going beyond mind, or enlightenment. sorry to break the news dabo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
