Space in the eye.
When I was young and travelled to work on the underground train, crowded with people, I always did a peculiar thing, I'd watch peoples eyes! Why? To see if anyone was reliable or awake.
I don't know why I did this, but there is always something about a person, who 'knows' the space, they are in!
I used to imagine, if we as a group were in a tight spot, who could be relied upon to 'seize the moment'! Unfortunately most people seemed preoccupied with staring blankly at adverts or just staring, or were involved in a book or newspaper...nowadays it's phone texting!
There weren't many I'd choose to be on a desert island with!
I still look to see what is or isn't in people's eyes, I still look for this space. It's quite rare!
It's the same with forums, what I look for is communication, an openness willing to empathise and engaged....a warmth! It happen sometimes, but not often. It's not until one looks into someone's eyes, whether one can tell if that person is telling the truth or not, or they believe they are telling the truth! Of course there is love that people 'love' to talk about, but that's as far as it goes...talk about it!
Sometimes we can catch someone's eyes, and this has some strange reactions, fear, embarrassment or recognition. There is a moment of light, then it goes...!?
Of course this is just my opinion.
People talk and people write words, but most of it is projecting something about this 'self' they are involved in...er.. in love with! Let's be honest we all are, so it's good to joke about it....isn't it?!
The point about joking and knowing one's space, has a warmth about it. You'll have to admit this is rare, as we still take ourselves very seriously. What we have done is filled up this space.
In open, empty-space, there is no “I”.
The point is, we are intelligent open space, pure knowing. What do we do with this pure lucid space? ...WE fill it up! We are our own prison guards. Why? We have fill our natural divine space with inmates, and we spend all our time maintaining and entertaining these inmates (ideas).
We feel we have to hold onto our knowledge, when in truth our knowing quality merely has to scan the mind for information. If there is not enough data we seek help, preferably from someone who is not too involved with prison maintenance!
Be careful out there,
Tony
