Larry Epston, poet, teacher, artist, singer/songwriter, musician,

peace activist, and most of all, my Beloved friend. 3-28-40 to 5-16-07

 

I miss you.

 

From www.epston.com

 

SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONS ONE

 

L.E: For your consideration:

 

Everything in this infinite universe is perfect, connected and correct.

There are no mistakes or errors. It's easy to see this in every part

of life,

the plants, the fishes, the other animals, but most don't want to accept

this about ourselves as humans.

Observe this perfection in every aspect of the natural world, and then

include yourself, and your confusion will vanish.

In making an exception of yourself, you create all your suffering,

which is

also perfect in its own way.

If you ring the " division bell " you will suffer, and if " you have a

cross to

bear, " you will suffer.

Just include yourself in the perfection of life and your sense of

things will

change.

The self-reflective consciousness we have, we create, is the root of our

ego, our sense of self, and as a result, we are aware of pleasure and

pain.

If you choose a silent, non-verbal meditation, you can relax this

ego-self-consciousness until it is reduced, and totally disappears for a

few minutes at first, and then for longer periods.

As it diminishes, we become integrated into the perfect flow of existence

and experience an enlightened, or so-called god-conscious sense, full of

inner peace.

So, whether you are experiencing a painful or peaceful life, you are

still

within the All-Life-Being that is perfect and a harmony of togetherness,

oneness and unity.

When you can get to this point of accepting everything as perfect, you

will have the choice to do whatever you want, in perfect freedom.

And just remember, as you embrace more and more, you will become

more and more, and you will change, and your choices and actions will

more and more be based on love in its many shapes, forms, and

expressions.

 

 

 

To Call It One

 

To call it One is

One to many,

To call it nothing,

Minimizes its importance,

To say it is in me,

Implies it is not outside,

To say it comes from somewhere,

Says it is not here,

To say it has a beginning,

Makes it appear to have an ending,

To think it will come,

Implies it has not arrived,

To search for it,

Implies it is hidden,

To wait for it,

Implies it exists in time.

 

To try to describe it is futile,

It has no edges,

You cannot catch it,

You cannot find it,

You cannot see it,

You can only

Be It.

P: What did he die of? Hope it wasn't painful?

That he died in peace. That he felt no one was

dying, that no one had lived his life, that all

was a dream. But it doesn't matter now, the

dream ends, the night goes on.

Larry died of a staph infection after a cortisone shot in his knee.

He knew he was going to die. He had diabetes early stages....It was

quick... he went into the hospital Friday they operated on his knee

immediately and he died on Tuesday. I knew something was wrong, ended

up talking to him for the few lucid moments he had before his death,

my sleuthing... and intuition

 

He lived his nonduality Pete.

 

And I would have cried on his shoulders when Michael/Kabir died.

 

So I live my nonduality.

 

Love you,

Anna

 

p.s. You and WHOever is not or is..... are invited to

ToomBebe/

P: Thanks for the inf. I didn't know he died. Such a

promising life cut short. What a callous universe! ;)

 

It's food for thought that he died from a cortisone

shot. I get those every four months for my shoulder.

 

Well, let's rejoice that he ascended to the

perfection of extinction as such tender age. Let's

honor a fallen comrade, who left his troubled

passage through this list for our edification.

 

Larry's first messages were promising:

 

The Perfection of Life

 

 

For your consideration:

 

Everything in this infinite universe is perfect, connected and correct. There

are no mistakes or errors.

It's easy to see this in the every part of life, the plants, the fishes, the

other animals, but most don't want to accept this about ourselves as humans.

Observe this perfection in every aspect of the natural world, and then include

yourself, and your confusion will vanish.

In making an exception of yourself, you create all your suffering, which is also

perfect in its own way. If you ring the " division bell " you will suffer, and it

" you have a cross to bear, " you will suffer.

Just include yourself in the perfection of life and your sense of things will

change.

The self-reflective consciousness we have, we create, is the root of our ego,

our sense of self, and as a result, we are aware of pleasure and pain.

If you choose a silent, non-verbal meditation, you can relax this

ego-self-consciousness until it is reduced, and totally disappears for a few.

As it diminishes, we become integrated into the perfect flow of existence and

experience an enlightened, or so-called god conscious sense, full of inner

peace.

So, whether you are experiencing a painful or peaceful life, you are still

within the All-Life-Being that is perfect and a harmony of togetherness, oneness

and unity.

When you can get to this point of accepting everything as perfect, you will have

the choice to do whatever you want, in perfect freedom.

And just remember, as you embrace more and more, you will become more and more,

and you will change, and your choices and actions will more and more be based on

love in its many shapes, forms, and expressions.

P: But then his self-image got in the way. He felt

our lack of admiration, and our criticism was an

insult to his vision of himself, and it all went

downhill until his expulsion from the list, and his

last message. His last message followed by a

post from Hur to you is below. Who was

Larry? He was the spinning of a self-image in

the void. He was us.

 

 

 

Re: Hur Speaks

 

Hi Ana, the first member I put anyone on moderation was Judi when I

noticed she was personally attacking you. Recently Larry and Bob were

both addicted to the insulting sport and neither of them could let

go...and they were both put on moderation because they ignored my

warnings. Since this list does not have a visible moderator, some

members tend to act up here more than the other groups. Larry earned

the distinction of sending me more emails than all the members, in

the history of this list combined, ever. He used to complain just

about everything that went on the list. Larry was removed from the

list because he was unable to stop escalating his personal attacks

even though I asked him stop many times via email and public

messages.

> >

L.E: I wonder what hur means when he says, " I'm not sure if this is working? "

Is he, are you, trying to teach me something that you know, and I don't?

Does the group, do all of you, need his advice on how to behave in relation to

me? Mostly, I like to comment on what others are saying, but I also write my

own statements and invite dialogue.

I find the back and forth of list conversation usually trivial and empty so I

don't join in. Is that some kind of a problem? Not following some unwritten

rules of etiquette?

Mostly, I feel like I am writing to and for myself, and make copies of my

statements and comments. I enjoy this. It's like making art and saving my

pictures. I have no problem being who and what I am. I am at ease and at peace

within, and am not looking for any truth or ultimate knowledge outside of

myself.

And as far as lessons from kindergarten, I spend many hours with kindergarten

students and let me tell you, most don't learn these lessons, and some of you

haven't learned them either. I send my messages out to individuals as well

as posting them on the list, and I always send a copy to myself, so hur, you

have no power to play over me. If you have the time to play your little power

trip, enjoy yourself. I send my art, music, poetry and messages to many so

censor what you want, and post the rest. I don't mind at all. I don't sense

that

anyone is " provoked " by my writing or thinking, but if you are, that's all to

the good isn't it? Are you trying to protect members from me?

Do you want everyone to agree with you all the time? Are you looking for

approval and feel you have to give compliments to be liked? I don't use obscene

nasty and crude words like Bob Nixon did, or Silver. I come from my feelings,

and give honest responses. If that's not O.K., to bad for you. Suffer. You

may learn something.

Larry and I were two peas in a pod... we both tried to push theenvelope and engage EVERYONE... sometimes at the cost of our peace ofmind, so to speak. The difference is that Larry really and truly didnot *care* as much as I do/did... However, in the many many personal phone conversations we had, he didtell me how it did *hurt* him... and always wondered why on these*supposedly* spiritual sites, folks *choose* to be unkind with oneanother.

 

 

****You and Larry were both windmill tilters, world savers, though Larry, coming from a more male perspective, was more aggressive in his condemnation of what was wrong, and his repeated personal attacks of me by private email were not appreciated. That's my perspective, while yours is that you "both tried to push theenvelope and engage EVERYONE... sometimes at the cost of our peace ofmind", but of course the end result was the same. Tell others what they're doing wrong, and they will, at the very least, disturb your peace of mind.

 

Of course, none of this is of any value unless we're willing to look in the mirror, and I do see why unkindness is the exception with spiritual folks rather than the rule, at least in my experience. I don't feel the need to fix anyone because I see the ultimate futility of that. All any of us has to do is look at our own experience and see how seldom, if ever, that has ever worked. My thing is looking at the truth in everything, at least from my perspective, which of course is not a problem, but then voicing that perception and expecting not to be beaten mercilessly for it is like you "pushing the envelope" and expecting to keep your peace of mind.

 

I go through periods where I avoid expressing anything personal, either about myself or anyone else, and while the bludgeoning decreases, it never ends because all one has to do is offer a perspective on some impersonal aspect of spirituality, and he/she is labeled relentlessly and attacked personally, and so even with ego placating and self censoring, the beatings continue anyway, so I ususally go back to expressing what's on my mind and looking for a way to accept the ugliness.

 

To me, this is the bottom line. The world is both loving and hateful, kind and belligerant, beautiful and ugly, and 'spiritual people' are no different from anyone else. Acceptance of what is, is the only way out of this dillema.

Hur needn't have *protected* me from Judy...Judy and I already met on

the level of understanding who we were...when she expelled me from her

ranch...

 

There's a few groups Larry and I were members of... Much the same

horrible accusations and nastiness...to a man who had nothing but love

in his heart...he was a warrior WHO FOUGHT himself in all those

confrontations...he, however, knew it.

 

And when he died, folks were left with the truth of their relationship

with Larry. No chance to say... " hey bud, I enjoyed our sparring, hope

you didn't take me seriously " .

 

Love you,

Anna

P: You didn't snip, I DID. The moment he died, Larry forgave

himself for defending Larry so fiercely, moreover he forgot

complitely that a Larry, or even, existence ever existed.

 

Do you collect nail clippings? When people die, they

become all nail clippings, something to cast away, and to forget.

 

Nature is the ultimate recycling machine, forms and memories

are ground to dust, only atoms survive to be used again.

Did I tell you I have 2 atoms from Christ and 5 from Buddha,

and 11 from Nis? That's why I'm known as The Seven Eleven holy

man. Open 24/7/365. LOL
