Sam

I am concluding that the notion of inflation also includes those who point out

the 'faults'

of man/society/systems/ as much as those who act them out in some exagerated

way-

like the supermanagers, top polititions and the like.

Ponder for a moment the huge external and internal world in which we find

ourselves-

with huge goings on on a street/town/city/country etc etc level while the

individual goes

about their doing in some room or place... and consider the 'walking univers' of

him/her

with the personal, collective, and utterly unknown unconscious of themselves

within..

and then to assume either one is in charge/knows/ or can criticize or somehow

point the

finger at whateveritis that the inner tourch of awareness has lite up...

Enough it must remain to remain aware... and of so little at any one time.

Enough is it to be aware of the unique smallness of the Self

and enough it is to hold on to the remants of sanity than to poke ones finger

into the

universal pye with an assumed knowing .

And at the same time know nothing exists beyond ones own peculiar perseption..

Mmmm... The tast of pye....

Enough is it to be aware of the unique smallness of the Self

I think on a Jung list you might mean ego?

The Self taps into the limitless of Spirit..........

We are indeed small in Light of this!

love, not small to u!

Hi ,

I think this post was actually in response to one of marte's but I gotta admit that it did sorta connect with one of my own hooks, too. Not that I have any wonderful dissertation on the subject but I will share a note that I wrote to myself as a reminder to ponder it some more. It goes thus:

"Our interior is actually the macrocosm while the external (wonderful typo: I originally typed "eternal") world simply represents the microcosm of what we project from the interior."

Don't quite know where this thought came from and haven't pondered it further but it makes sense to me on some level.

Blissings,

Sam
