Gathering the tribe

avyaktam · 05-22-2009, 08:48 AM

That was a nice metaphor, thank you Sweden.
End yes it feels very much like were are pressure cooked.
The negativity will be there as long as it is needed, I guess.
We have our moments of Remembering, but we still carry walls of resistance in us. A lot of work. Because we are not going anywhere, we are staying, and we will change and Matter will change.
It is the Force that works, that does the Work, but our effort is needed.
I can see how the enemy "desire'' pervades still so much of my life and what I do.
It is great to have Moments, but to become in all detail, in our full personality..
that's still a full different job.
It is a Big Change we have to go through.
I try to open up, but wow change can hurt, it is if you are fighting a collective resistance and at the same time it is your own resistance you have to shoot your arrows at.

Hi metaphor - fantastic post.

Hi fellow tribes-people!

Let me just say...

I know what to do, and I trust myself to do it.

There said it!

I love your thread metaphor,

The shift is occurring .. I can feel it everywhere..
It's from within .. within our hearts ..
I can see these opening one by one..
and here we are souls companions flying harmoniously as one flock of birds... one tribe !
Let the old world drift as our Love forges the new ONE.

One day Ananda, who had been thinking deeply about things for a while, turned to the Buddha and exclaimed:
"Lord, I've been thinking- spiritual friendship is at least half of the spiritual life!"
The Buddha replied: "Say not so, Ananda, say not so. Spiritual friendship is the whole of the spiritual life!"
Samyutta Nikaya, Verse 2

How lovely for you Anchor. I wish I could say the same. Still searching. But the amnesia is strong. I have found many pieces to the puzzle though.
I´m beginning to see the full picture. I sense a new beginning. Not like before, this is going to be different. Not only for me, but for all of us. Thats my intent and mission statement.

I can only agree. I guess it is up to humanity how long negativity will rule the planet.

It´s not out of our hands as I used to think.
Seashores "victim menatality" thread connects with this.

Yes, indeed. But perhaps it is not only that we desire to go home, home has a desire to come to us. Perhaps thats part of the goal. Anchoring a part of home here. Like a permanent prescence of this "force"

Yes, yes and yes. I´m totally with you on that one. It´s a tough match against ourselves sometimes.
