I think what Judi was trying to convey was that you cannot abandon what you do not know. You say you cannot go beyond yourself? Just ask Judi. She says she already has. I find it difficult to understand but, hey, I guess I just don't UNDERSTAND. Right Judi? And, by the way, what else is there worth understanding other than the condition of one's own self? What, again, is your understanding of the word UNDERSTANDING? I know this word is very dear and near to your heart, so you won't mind re-explaining it again to us wayward seekers? And yes, I do lurk around at the Ranch. I just don't like talking to you all that much because you can get pretty mean sometimes. But that's okay. Not every enlightened Master is as gentle as I expect them to be. It's my expectation that is wrong. And I'm aware of that. I'm going into it, a little deeper a little at a time. The water's cold and I don't like swimming and I'm definitely not one of those people who will just jump in. Why shock myself unnecessarily like that? I don't get it. You told me I need to UNDERSTAND. But I came away from the Ranch not really knowing what it is I'm supposed to UNDERSTAND. All I know is that the more I understand and know, the more I realize how little I UNDERSTAND and know. And I actually like it that way! Lol. I'm almost scared to post this because I know you're going to come back and say something like how stupid I am or how unenlightened I am or that I should pull my head out of my ass or something. Ah well. That's okay. I know it's just my ego getting bruised and I'm really starting to not care if it gets hurt or abused all that much anymore. So bring it on! Let's see what you've got for my ego. Go ahead, Judi. Kick the shit out of it. I can take it. I probably won't bother fighting back though. I hope that doesn't ruin your headhunting fun. Not much of a challenge when your prey just gives up, eh mate? " Silver " > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
