words ..... ???

[jiminii]

when I was a kid my best friends were a horse and a dog .... the dog was always there when I call and of course since he slept in the same bed as me we had to sleep in the basement ... but the horse ,... there is something between us without words .... I get up (about 6 or 7 years old) .. on her back ... with no rope or reins ... (I wonder if anyone would have seen this ... I would have pushed their panic buttons)
and then I put my arms around the neck and try to guide the horse with my hands .. and she would follow gently ... taking care not to hurt me and help me keep my balance ,.. without words ...
I never had an argument with my horse and dog ... it was always pure being and fun ... and I often wonder if the horse adopted me as a kind of pet ... (not sure how horses look at humans ... I mean how do we look at animals ... like Rats and bugs) ... but there was this connection without words ...

then some people wanted me to learn words ... you know ... I had more fun running around with the animals ... but ... I didn't really understand why I was suppose to learn these words ... because all I could see was .. they used these words to argue with ..... so anyway ... somehow ... I managed to learn the words ... and I discovered ... the reason that they wanted me to learn words was this ... they didn't have enough people to argue with ..and after I learned these words. ... I've been arguing ever since ...

The horse, the dog, the human - all noble animals. The horse and the dog are good until they meet humans who have lost touch with their nobility, and then they become unrideable killers and biting killers. Every animal has a spirit, but when we use our power over them to crush that spirit, we are damaging their psyches, and they become as mad as mad humans. I guess that's why they call mad humans mad dogs. There is only one madness in all of creation, and it comes from our human minds. Yes, Jim, minds that have too many words, and rely on the words more than the energy of the soul within the body. Words are a way of avoiding the heart. Words are a way of avoiding our true, all-powerful, all-loving nature. When words become God, then we become nothing but slaves to ego. And ego is slave to fear. Words can make us slaves to fear if we are not careful.

Walk up to a horse, grasp it gently under the chin, and breath into it's nostrils. Let it breath into yours. Share breath, trust is established.

Approach a dog with low held open palm facing upwards. Allow the dog to smell you, take your vulnerable palm in strong jaws and do no harm. Share vulnerability, trust is established.

I often walk in the dead of night through the wilderness, a kilometre, two kilometres, more, whatever, of tough, hard ground. Wild dogs follow me through the scrub, most often three or more, I am unarmed and unafraid, and I am miles from anywhere. You will never get a wild dog to smell your hand, but trust is established through the heart connection. There are no words, there is no argument, there is my spirit and their spirit.

But perhaps words are not the curse? Perhaps the curse is people who feel so small and afraid because they have no heart connection that they feel they need to use words as weapons to hide behind.

Look to any problem in the world, and behind it you will find fear.

Look to natural joy in the world, and behind it, you will find love.

Language takes apart knowing.
I would have given anything as a kid,
to have had friends like yours.

I think that is why I go to asia ... because they have to break this word thing ... this automatic answering machine ... when they talk to me .. they have to find the words ... so this puts them in a better spiritual connection with you ...

in USA .. it is so automatic .. stop any one them and ask them what they said, and I get the typical hunt look on them trying to figure out where in that tape recorder they have to look to repeat what they were saying ... the spirit is not in communication ... just this automatic tape recorder ... if the spirit was in communication they would be able to know exactly what they said to you ... hahaha
