there are two types of people, those who think they can and those who think they can't, and they are both right.

Stan

Stan, I gotta go with.... I agree, huh? It's about perception and illusion and fill-in-the-blank. It's a good news, bad news thing.
And if you don't mind, may I sent them to you to shine the light?

Peace and smiles,

Truth..!

Hello jackovesk,

"Truth", absolutely! And I'd add to this already perfect "one sentence or less"; Truth a tool and a key and a solution, and a (fill-in-the-blank) for Human Being, i.e., Human-Beginning.

Peace and Truth,
WhiteCrowBlackDeer

simply, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Thanks, Pete,

A perfect reminder for me, "keep it simple, silly."

Peace,

Who I am...A human struggling to overcome a self history of false programming...

Hello RUSiruis,

Yes, toss salad - hold the "i am", the struggling, the self and the false. Dessert? A big wallop of "I AM"! Check please...

Peace,

Hello Paula,

Come on in, there is enough room under this umbrella, I 'm afraid

I am having a real challenge with this one.. I doubt if I judge people, it is more about behaviours and I can't get my head around it. Help!

Please past the umbrella, I'll hold it for a while. I don't know how much help I can give. Yes, thanks for the clarification/reminder. Behaviors.

For awhile, I tried short sprints of visiting time; that’s avoidance and not a solution. I tried seeing the good; not too successful there. The biggest breakthrough came when I realized that we (in this case my sister) were one another's teachers. Boink! I understood it intellectually but it hit another level. She was just doing her job. And so I changed my job description. Extremely freeing! The compassion barometer is slowly moving upward. And I’m a work in progress, too.

I appreciate your offer Paula, And you have probably helped more than you thought you will, because what you wrote is a wonderfull reminder that we are 'work in progress' when it comes to us, everyone else are responsible for their own growth and help with being our mirrors in some ways. I feel that ten years in Tibet might bring this realization to be usefull in my real life, for now, I will keep paying attention to things that could have been done differently..
A short explanation - My birth sign is Virgo. some say I am doomed just for that. what is your excuse?

Oh, too funny! That sister I referenced? Virgo... My moon is Virgo... Whew, Cancer sun, and Libra ascendant to balance out the Virgo moon! 27 years of teaching middle school, puberty aged students. They make big teachers. Moment to moment awareness in compassion and patience.

I believe that I sign up for big lessons on the fast track. I'm seeing lots of light at the end of the tunnel which tells me either it's time for me to journey or I'm getting closer to completion of the big lessons. On second thought those are really one and the same. I better scoot and shine up my merkaba.

Oh, yes! fractal beings. It reminds me of the Land-o-Land butter box with the Native American holding the butter box with the Native American holding the ... well you get the picture. The light bulb went on when I understood the profound implications of fractal beings.

Many thanks,

Now you are being too modest. You are part firecracker and part chocolate pudding.
Toodles,
Paula

See that's the kind of thing I can never recognize without help. Thanks.

My nose is too close to my face for me to see it, and I'm too concerned about what it looks like.

When you know who you are, there is nothing from the outside which can threaten you.

Nonsense about noses. Besides, you don't need a nose to hear the firecracker go off in chocolate pudding.

PS Reminds me, of me, being my own worst enemy. I have a think-talk to myself and say, "Don't sweat the small stuff."

Peace, my Friend,

Hello gripreaper! That is the visual of all visuals that sums it up best: "When you know who you are, there is nothing from the outside which can threaten you." When you juxtapose your one-liner with the Vid, I'd even go so far as to stay it's deep.

PS Okay, damn entertaining, too... (Shhh!!! Let's pretend this is a doggie scratching like a chicken digging for his bone.)

Peace and growls,

Great topic. This is what I would like to add:

Learning to be unjudgemental is very difficult and is my mission because being unjudgemental is being willing to not judge someone for being judgemental, now THAT is the challenge, but it is a goal that could heal the world.

Oh, How much I resonate with that one.

Can I borrow from someone else?

“All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress.”

Tennessee Williams quotes (American playwright. 1911-1983)

Learning to be unjudgemental is very difficult and is my mission because being unjudgemental is being willing to not judge someone for being judgemental, now THAT is the challenge, but it is a goal that could heal the world.

Hello Limor,

That's the glitch for me, "...because being unjudgemental is being willing to not judge someone for being judgmental.." When I get that part cleared up, I've been promised a free, one way ticket to that healed world you are working on. So, I'm thinking that I should split it with you.

Hello Paula,

Come on in, there is enough room under this umbrella, I 'm afraid

I am having a real challenge with this one.. I doubt if I judge people, it is more about behaviours and I can't get my head around it. Help!

Hope there is plenty of room under the unbrella Limor. I need to take refuge under it too, lol. I struggle with this judegment/nonjudgement issue A LOT! I am coming here from a site that judgement flows more freely than spilled wine, and have relatives who invented the word judgement I am sure..... and it is a struggle for me to not do what upsets me so much by being judged and labeled,( to judge THEM for being judgemental.) But if I pass judgement on people for being judgemental, ah that is the rub, it is an oxymoron at best. We are all born into the world where we are taught to think in terms of right vs wrong, black and white, good or bad, etc..All religions teach us things in terms of right or wrong, moral or immoral, etc..Judgements, judgements, judgements... How difficult it is not to label events, actions, and people as right or wrong......that is what gets us all into trouble. My truth in life may not be another's truth because my life experiences are different. What seems dark to me may be light to another. How difficult it is to transcend all the judgement, when it is instilled in us from birth. It is a daunting assignment to be open to everything and everyone and everyone's actions without labeling it and putting it on one side or another, if you know what I mean. I am deeply into philosophy and this issue is just driving me bonkers. I think being totally passive about people and their actions is just so dam hard and I have not yet made a passing grade.....but still trying. Because if we could all UNCONDITIONALLY accept and love everyone without prejudice, judgment and labels, there would be no more wars. People would be kind to each other out of love and acceptance.

Yes, Turcurulin, you did because: "Everything is Everything". But, oh drags. We called your name out several times, and Harry said you went out for fries and a shake, so Harry took the prize. It was "a Bucket of GMO Chicken". I'd say, in the end it was you that beat out Harry. He has an extra finger growing out of his left cheek, and a tattoo that spells out the letters G, M, & O. Rumor has it that its hard to shave, so he's growing a beard which now serves a dual purpose.

So congrats, "Oh Wise One of Everything".

Thanks for the play,

Hello marique3652,

Just a second while a drop a perfect smilie thingy...I'll be right back.... & (it's a 2 fer 1 hail, hail). You hit it - "unconditional" is the answer and the challenge. I hold on to the thought that we are entering into a whole new green space. Beauty within and without which equates to love for other and self. Where the only labels are found on spice jars, and opposites are defined as one end from another. Until then here - just a second - while I set up another umbrella. We'll wait out the storm together.

Oh just a minute, here let me scoot over please, more in coming umbrellas of all different colors! Hey, it looks like they listened and they heard. You just helped turn a corner!

With heart,
WhiteCrowBlackDeer

OK OP, I will if you promise not to comment right back.

Here goes....., I have never appreciated cliches.

[Mister_m]

Who are you? I am a thinking thing that is aware of its own existence.

What is life? Life is either projected inwards and interpreted by my brain as a sequence of 'now' moments that provide the illusion of linear time.
Or, Life is created outwards and my cultural beliefs, knowledge & understanding form the framework of that universe.

What is your belief? I believe that we are all part of an ultimate whole experiencing itself subjectively, but we have forgotten the whole and exist in the illusion of seperation.

Philosophy?
Life is better shared.
Hate snaps, love bends to cope.
Always leave people in a better place than when you met them.

An Understanding? I understand that small actions can have massive results, it is only the illusion of seperation that gives us the impression that 'I' can't make a difference. 'I' is the only thing that has ever made a difference.

Goal? My goal is to understand life better, whilst not missing out on its rich tapestry.

Wow, Mister_m, the words shine with Great Light, but the Light behind them is even Greater. And I suspect that I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. Which is my way of saying that I honor your Light.

Who are you? I am a thinking thing that is aware of its own existence.

Who am I? For now: Heart, light and heart-light

What is life? Life is either projected inwards and interpreted by my brain as a sequence of 'now' moments that provide the illusion of linear time.
Or, Life is created outwards and my cultural beliefs, knowledge & understanding form the framework of that universe.

Life is a contract of ownership of the game board and the pieces and the moves; everyone has an equal chance because it’s only a win-win once it's seen from the greater perspective.

What is your belief? I believe that we are all part of an ultimate whole experiencing itself subjectively, but we have forgotten the whole and exist in the illusion of seperation.

We the "All” are Power, i.e., “Liquid-Light”, the internal kind, and it is the juice that makes one hum. Life-Light-living is fun and challenging and scary and scary-powerful, and empowering while traveling back to the Whole-One.

Philosophy?
Life is better shared.
Hate snaps, love bends to cope.
Always leave people in a better place than when you met them.

Self-Love springs forth Love for Another and Others: love unfolds as each takes personal responsibility for a balanced mind, body and spirit. Which in turn builds upon happiness and love for the other; then a blending into immeasurable love and happiness, only further unfoldment ... into homeward bound the Oneness.

An Understanding? I understand that small actions can have massive results, it is only the illusion of seperation that gives us the impression that 'I' can't make a difference. 'I' is the only thing that has ever made a difference.

The I AM is a journey of discovery. A mighty, historical undertaking that the "we” all are on together; each bringing a unique part back to the “Whole of All Selves”. It is all unfolding. How I assist? Discovery of I, Great Beauty. Listen through the Heart for it’s Unfolding. I am the Evolution of Human-Beginning back to whence it all came from, the I AM.

Goal? My goal is to understand life better, whilst not missing out on its rich tapestry.

Be the Love, Joy, Peace, Laughter with spontaneity and synchronicity as my wingmen.

PS My sincere thanks for the opportunity to post...
PSS I was going to add a Wizard icon, but I suspect you don't need a showy display. Tee.

With heart,
Paula

Seeing the love in others, puts my ego to pasture. How do I do this for myself: raise above the rabble and babble of my knocked about, self inflicted lower dimensional selves to breathe as myself, who I really am? With less noise, my quest is to love who I am in my heart - that´s who I want to be.

Thanks for asking WhiteCrowBlackDeer

Wow, Zebra,

Nothing, no thing, not one more thing...need be added. Only that I've copied this part as a reminder for myself: "With less noise, my quest is to love who I am in my heart - that´s who I want to be. "

Respectfully,
Paula
