I can't say I really understand this. chris, from my experience (and i suppose that's all anyone can ever really speak from) i find that by surrendering to MA, and allowing whatever qualities that need to be transformed to be transformed, to whateveer degree i am willing to do it, i not only transform old habituations and patterns for myself, but i am freeing an entire lineage from its legacy of pain, suffering, and delusion. seeing myself as a distillation of energies from a vast array of ancestry, when i do the work *not* to fall into the programmed (cultural, social, historical, genetic, emotional body, etc.) patterns of delusion, i release the knot for all that came before and all that will come after. it is a healing of the drama that has been regenerating itself and playing itself out for generation upon generation, and an opening into a new more spacious direction for all. follow that lineage far enough in all directions and you find that you are doing the work for the greater family of mankind, and then for all beings everywhere. because the pain is not *your* pain, the suffering is not *my* suffering, it is *the* suffering. whenever we heal suffering in a localized expression of itself, it is reverberating out and healing the pain of creation. in other words, by becoming more awake, and more infused with the Mother's Love, we stop the transfer of pain from one individual to the next, from one generation to the next. thus, our ancestors are freed from the pain of having their suffering played out by those next in line; those that come after have an opportunity to live in ever more freedom and love, thereby creating more freedom and love for those around them, and increasing the opportunities for freedom and love for those who follow. What a gift. She is good. Jai MA!! blessings, leela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Very nice, Leela! I can't say I really "see" it yet, but the idea of cutting the knot of responsibility for all the generations seems good. I'll have to give the whole idea some more thought. Off the top of my head though, it seems there must at least be limitations to this cutting of knots, otherwise there would be no sadhana, we'd all be free (since at some future time I [we, all of us] will be free, and will, therefore, have cut all the knots of karma). [i think I have a headache] Your view of our interconnection is very nice. I wish I lived there myself. I believe it's true, of course, but I don't live there yet. More's the pity.
