I guess it's actually adressed to yourself but ok, here, my take on it and, two pence. Take that frustration and live it unmitigatedly out in meditation. Sit down, hold the back erected but not stiff. Close your eyes. Concentrate first on your breathing. Between expiration and inspiritation count until 3 or 4. When breathing has calmed down, begin to observe the frustration. Live it out. Hold it in focus. Don't move, that's important; don't look at the watch, for example. Take your time; there are always 20 or 30 minutes. No hurry. As you well know from Balsekar, there is no sense in fighting against involvement. Observe it, just as it is for you. Then stand up. Do something, which has been waiting until YOU stop to wait. Clean up the backyard or take a run. Wash the disches or polish the door handles. Take care of something. So much about Balsekar's vertical thingy. Meditate later again. It isn't you, who are waiting. There are many things waiting for you to be done. But, Al is involved in getting rid of experiences. Don't give them food! That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is the ordinary tick-tock world and the other is something I feel is behind the veil of this world of seeming conflict. I get a sense of total harmony behind the conflict in this world but this harmony is so infinitely far out that imagination cannot reach it. On the surface of my life things go on, but my inner sense of this world is taking a new turn. Things could get really interesting the coming years. :-) /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
