Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Pat: I really like Pete`s message yesterday, " what is happening to so and so? " I appreciated the reminder that I am not here for tea and bridge but for meeting and sharing something infinitely precious. I`ve been getting headache lately at trying to stay put w/ the all the chattering and constant exercice of restless minds. There is no point of sharing anything unless it is deeply rooted in a day full of deep reverence toward what is most precious and alive in each one of us. The constant chatter of mind is what robs it of its very much needed space. Stop acting like Gods when you are only lost, stop covering your nakedness with repeated concepts over and over. Start with quietness, feed quietness, allow calm to prevail, land your ear to Life within you, give a rest to your mind and fingers, .... and then, one maybe ready to share something that springs from somewhere else than inflamed minds. Affection to all, Patricia P: Well, dear, then you know the way. Walking in the direction of quietness leads to ever increasing clarity, and space without end. One need not become a Ramana, or an invalid needing to be fed, or an empty headed idiot. Action and thought have their place, but let's not use them as distraction to postpone facing the Big Jump. Some list members remind me of flyers at an airport bar fortifying themselves with drinks and chat, trying to muster the courage to board the plane.
