Wild Guru -Jake

August 11, 2009

Hi Jake,

yep, its true that some people just arent interested in what we have to say, no

matter how good it is...

Not responding is an interesting practice.. why dont you try it for a few days,

and instead of responding, try and inhabit their perspective and feel their

world as fully as possible?

I find taking and honoring perspectives, (without agenda, simply to understand

and honor) a fascinatating tour, a dance into different worlds...... and

deeply liberating...

love

creative endeavor and must manifest. I believe that the people that I am

responding to will only keep the battle of the egos going. My response is from

who I am. I have always been on the side of the underdog. I know that the cycle

that grabs me must be done away with if I am to progress or even survive without

taking contrary opinions to heart. When I see a suffering world I respond with

my opinion and what I believe is a good argument about how things got that way.

Responding to people that already have their own agenda is what I am playing

into. In reality they don't want to hear my observations from living in

countries with better health care and how it works. I almost ask the question of

should I not respond? What happens with the next messages sent? I know how that

would affect me now before the

> change. I want to send them pictures of myself at a rally in the late " 60 "

and say that I am worse now. My knee length beard and accompanying hair

certainly give away my persuasions in this picture. Other opinions plague me

only when they come from this group.Really wanting to change but the electricity

won't let me,Jake
