Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 We can be so attached to our things. We re-invent ourselves from the constant ownership of physical objects. Cars are one such object. Here in the United States it is common for a person to become extremely engrossed in the ownership and maintenance of an automobile. We paint them and stroke them lovingly with true emotion and polish them to a shine with adoration. We show them and express gender potentials by racing them or buying those that are few in number to be seen as rarities. Exulting in the ownership as we parade them or hide them away from others to be enjoyed privately. Today I was at the wrecking yard. As I looked around I could see the discarnate souls standing or sitting in and or around the vehicles in which they had died. Silent sentinels of a love turned into a prison as they withstand the short time waiting for the toll of the wrecking box as there beloved car is smashed and then carted off to me melted down. Another love from their life killed by those who no longer can or care to communicate. A lonely ownership that ends abruptly. I do not know what becomes of them after that. Perhaps it is the releasement that they can at last achieve as their cherished vehicle is at first crashed killing them, and then picked over by other souls who do not see or communicate or validate their existence. Merely ripping and tearing their beloved object apart, for parts, before the final destruction. All for the best as far as I can see. Better yet to stay away from attachment to these kinds of external objects that we may be off and away upon our next expression. They know that I saw them and felt them. I have been considering a " pillar of light " in this automotive grave yard that those who remain attached beyond the end of their own life can perhaps see another opportunity. I will be returning there for more " parts " soon. - blessings all - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Cool chrism, it should be mandatory to have a column of light created in every graveyard. Someone needs to let those poor souls know they can recreate their precious vehicle in the astral realm. They do not have to give them up if they do not want to. LOL! But then they may not ever want to move on into another lifetime, but would that be so bad? I guess they would get tired of it after a while and want to move on. Do some people not have guides to help them in moving on? That would be a type of hell would it not?.. to be stuck there in one place, the same level forever.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Very interesting! I hope this isn't off-key, but maybe you should direct them to this group?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 What a great observation! I wouldn't have seen them to communicate...not to that 'place' yet. How sad. People sure do attach to the darnedest things. This fits in so well with 2 books (very slim volumes!) I'm reading at the moment, one by an S.N. Goenka explaining concepts of the Buddha (in regards to meditation and a peaceful life) and the other by Krishnamurti both talking about the pitfalls of attachments and resulting reactions. Best to get out of both if you want a truly peaceful life. It's hard to do in practice but I'm getting better and can see the benefits of that way of thinking. A person can Love without being attached to something or " just having to have! " something. I'm seeing more and more there are no " MUST haves! " I get very annoyed with people and advertisements that say " this is a MUST have " . Nope, sorry bud! Thanks for that great illustration, Chrism. I think I can see that pillars of light would be useful in some very unusual places! On that subject, is there anything one can do by themselves in that vein, say I'm walking along and come across an ancient battle site or place of starvation, whatever, is there something one person can do, besides send up a prayer?

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Once there were two very old and wise lamas in Tibet, and one of them was dying. The other lama, his friend for over 70 years was with him. The dying lama was beyond eating or drinking and lay on his side as was the custom. The other lama as he watched his lifelong friend come close to the void, was eating a small bowl of barley cereal. He had taken his friend's bowl because it was handy. It was a simple wooden bowl just like all the others in the monastery. Sitting with his friend and hearing his breathing become ragged, he realized that his friend, even after decades of hearing the Buddha's teachings on nonattachment, was not totally ready to let go. Realizing the problem, he leaned close to his friend and whispered in his ear... " You know, Gompo, there are really good bowls in Tushita heaven...
