If I drive into a dead end, I deal with it like this: I turn around and go back the other way, in search of another open road. So far, all the roads I have travelled have led me to a dead end. I think I'm starting to realize that all roads lead to the same place and I'm getting very tired of driving all over the place for nothing. What's the point of my constant searching? I declare myself to be a spiritual schitzophrenic! I'm ill, I tell you. But I think I'm getting closer to the final Big Dead End now. If that's all I've been searching for all these years, a Big Unknown Dead End, then so be it. I'll shut my engine off and park myself there for ever. But then, how do you deal with that? Or do you mean that I should just drop the search altogether and simply accept that I am self-aware. Period. What's the big deal in that? I know I'm self-aware. So what? Wow! I am. Is that it!?! Big f**king deal! So I am. Now what!?! Where's all the enlightenment in that? I don't see any fireworks or hear any fanfare. Silver, frustrated with all of it again.

I started out with Ramana and ended up with nothing. There's this empty space and stuff arises and falls in it.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 ah, silver see the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Enlightenment has nothing to do with anything. It is what it is. Just this. Enjoy your disappointment. Did ya ever think you could do that? Well, you can if you see the light of enchantment in the land of disappointment, an appointment with the here and now.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 I have two bottles of shampoo here. The first is a product called, 'Herbal Essences' and makes the claim that, " Wildly exciting is our normal. " It goes on to say, " Enter a world of botanical bliss and unleash the power of your beautifully refreshed hair. Embracing you like a meadow of fresh flowers, this luxurious shampoo...will take your hair to a place it's never been before: renewed, radiant and naturally flowing. " The second bottle is a product called, 'Herbal Garden.' It makes no glowing promises to the buyer other than to say it will leave my hair feeling " lustrously clean and soft. " Both products contain the same ingredients: aloe, chamomile and passionflower. I do not experience anything " wildly exciting " from using either of the two products and my hair looks and feels the same way it always has afterwards. It doesn't feel renewed and radiant, nor does it flow. It merely feels clean and soft but not lustrously so. (Hey, that rhymed!) Where is the promised bliss from gaining enlightenment?
