Guest guest Posted February 9, 2000 Report Share Posted February 9, 2000 Hi there--is there anyone else awake ? Hello--where am I? what time is it? This morning as usual I seem to be haveing trouble getting off the ground, being held by some form of gravity, 'ego-bound' and the rarefied air up there is to thin to share my, oh so heavy life-affair. The world revolves around me and I am the centre of my own universe, but its mighty lonely in here. There is only one way to overcome my egocentricity, my ego-limitation, and that is the positive way of the knowledge that we are exponents of something greater and worthier than a mere complex of individual drives, unconscious chain-reactions, " dynamic-energetic quantas, " or other meaningless processes, functions, and " aggregates of existence. " It is the living way of experience that teaches me;--- the more we emphasize our imaginary selfhood and try to uphold it against all other forms of life, the less we can partake of the freedom and completeness of our true nature, which is realized in the experience of our universality in the state of enlightenment. ( bodhi ) Meaningful creation & self-realization are thinkable only in a universe permeated by a higher consciousness. The more the individual becomes conscious of the universe within & outside themselves, and of their profound relationship with all that lives ( and what could be excluded from it? ), the less they will begin to believe in the importance or reality of their own ego and of their own seprate existence. So the reason I get so lonely, is because I dont allow others to share this bubble I live in. Around & around the Mulberry-bush--the Monkey chased the Weasel, Pop! goes the Weasel----ha! Regards S.C.
