Guest guest Posted October 18, 1999 Report Share Posted October 18, 1999 Hi Everyone: Thanks Antoine, I needed that today, I think Melody and I should send you "Special K" every morning for breakfast, what do you think Melody? Has been an interesting day. Lion of Wall Street came prowling Friday at 5:00 sent me a rough email, "why the hell don't I have my data, which translates to Sales dollars which translates to Stock Market Dollars?" I think howling, growling Lions are rather interesting so, I decided to tell him exactly why and flip his email right back to him like throwing him steak. He instantly figured out how to use it to raise hell with 1000 people who send me data and send his fury across the nation (and Europe) and this i picked up intuitively on the drive home. So, I worried about those people all weekend, and sure enough as I opened my e-box this morning there was the note from the Lion which who had growled so loudly on Friday night (stressed) "thank you so much." So, I sent back a note, "it's definitely an executive problem, not a field problem is "our responsibility" (meaning his) define for those 1000 people what you want they'll be happy to give it to you rather than be eaten by you. I said it ever so slightly more gently. I got back a much less enthusiastic, "thank you," but he got it ! But the beautiful gentle words in this beautiful space Harsha provides certiainly helped, thank you both Melody and Antoine. Love ~ Rainbo ~ (Anna Maria - like you needed another name, don't worry i have tons of nicknames, aren't you thrilled?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't one? wondering aloud, Melody ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >> I agree, Melody, yes. Actually had this conversation with several people today including my mother who said "such and such a person" who does alot of spiritual gatherings was in "such and such away in the 70s." I laughed, said, "Mom, look this is where you were in 1970, it's almost 2000, think this guy is completely new, completely different, whatever he wrote in 1970 is so gone it is no longer a consideration. Even to- morrow morning he will be different. So, I am looking forward to hearing Maria's experience in California with him." Tonight I went to record music and listen to the rest of a piano piece a friend of mine has composed, Lisa. We had dinner, a group of us afterwards, and did healings on each other. She is an opera singer, who is very spiritual, it is very kewl to see her perform because she throws a web of light around the audience, even a reporter for the Washington Post described her last performance at the Kennedy Center like that, I guess that guy has good eyes *g* because he saw very well that night. We all merged while swimming in the sound waves of the music, it was so rapturous, and the energy was like an ocean of love. And we grew silent and looked at each other. We had dinner afterwards and again we grew silent, and then we began to play the glasses ~ rub fingers on the rims of the glasses, and so they sing ~ and we said, "what else? Is there anything else but love?" So beautiful, so simple, so nothing and everything, like waves which meld into each other on the ocean. I'll tell you a secret. I used to write poetry, back when i was very young through college, but it used to make people cry, and it was your writing that reminded me that i didn't write that way anymore because the last time i wrote like that my brother said i broke his heart... so, i stopped, which is in part why i wrote that story. The other part was that i had gotten some uninvited love letters which were from people that i imagine are on the list but don't post and they threw me, so, I wrote of the mirages. But your writing brought this very powerful scene which I haven't even remembered for more than a decade to my mind ~~~ and it fired the neurons of how that feels to let that flow move ~~~ But thank you for your writing, it was very beautiful and I will look forward to reading more...

Guest guest Posted October 19, 1999 Report Share Posted October 19, 1999 Hi Rainbo, I really appreciated your post below. For some reason, when you called this guy a lion, I thought of the lion on the Wizard of Oz.....and how Dorothy slapped his paw for trying to scare her friends. Only to find out he was a coward...underneath all that bravado. Here's what I found myself wondering today. What does it take to see people....especially ones we have had issues with in the past... with 'new' eyes? What does it take to be so open that one can hear the words of a former 'antagonist' or even a revered teacher with as much openness and newness as we would a stranger? It would seem that to be so 'present focused'.... free of the past, and of the future, one would automatically see with 'new eyes'. Wouldn't one? wondering aloud, Melody ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At 07:00 PM 10/18/99 EDT, you wrote: >RainboLily > > >Hi Everyone: > >Thanks Antoine, I needed that today, I think Melody and I should send >you "Special K" every morning for breakfast, what do you think Melody? > >Has been an interesting day.

When I let that flow move, and then allow it to simply carry 'me', that I call bliss. It's amazing...the way these threads are weaving and dancing 'us'. I hadn't written poetry for months now it seems, feeling as though the flow had become obstructed. I have begun noticing all the ways...all the many thoughts...that separate 'me' from that rhythm of Life. Earlier today I read this again from the Gospel of Thomas: "Jesus said, "The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a small child seven days old about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same" And it reminded me of the thought I had last evening about seeing with 'new eyes'. This morning I'm watching these thoughts lay together. I'm seeing how my gaining in 'knowledge' has given me old eyes. Knowledge and experience have become my colored lens...so colored as to distort my view. Earlier this morning I saw how I had just once again dammed the river: I had just caught a glimpse of feeling a desire to be 'liked' by someone. A thought immediately stirred which said, "no, it doesn't matter". And so, the feeling shut down automatically. And this happened so danged fast I could only see this out of the corner of my eye, so to speak. I saw how I had just jammed the flow of thoughts and feelings passing by...allowing what I 'know' to disconnect 'me' from that feeling that was passing through. I'm seeing that everytime I censor the spontaneous with some 'knowledge' I have of what should or should not be, I have created a type of instant karma. And then I read....also from the Gospel of Thomas, "Become passers by". >But thank you for your writing, it was very beautiful and I will look >forward to reading more... > >Love and Light, >Annette Thank you for dancing in the river with me. I feel very much like the picture Antoine gave us a couple of days ago...the picture of Celebration. It's good to feel the water once again.

Love, Annette All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

So lack of sharing a sunset or the _silence_ we all share somewhere that is also everywhere, here is a picture for our screen. http://www.osho.com/zentarot/zen041.jpg Enjoy, Antoine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
