LOLL noooooooooooooooooooo!! It's your thread and you are it's heart and soul! If you're not here things are generally fine, but knowing that someone is around, and that you are around in particular, is always a comforting thing.

Let those who can relate, relate.....

An avid student of Buddhist teachings would often discuss them with Master Foyin.

The two lived across the river from one another.

One day, the student felt inspired and wrote the following poem:

I bow my head to the heaven within heaven
Hairline rays illuminating the universe
The eight winds cannot move me
Sitting still upon the purple golden lotus

Impressed by himself, the student dispatched somebody to hand-carry this poem to the Master.

He felt certain that the Master would be just as impressed, maybe be even recognize his enlightenment.

The "eight winds" in the poem referred to praise, ridicule, honor, disgrace, gain, loss, pleasure and misery - interpersonal forces of the material world that drove and influenced the hearts of men. The student was saying that he had attained a higher level of spirituality, where these forces no longer affected him.

Smiling, the Master wrote "Fart" on the manuscript and had it returned to the student across the river.

Expecting compliments and a seal of approval, the student was shocked when he saw what the Master had written.

He hit the roof: "How dare he insult me like this? Why that lousy old Master! He's got a lot of explaining to do!"

Full of indignation, the student got into a boat and ferried himself to the other shore as quickly as possible.

Once there, he jumped off and charged into the hut where the Master lived. He wanted to find the Master and demand an apology.

He found the Master's door closed. On the door was a piece of paper, with the following two lines:

The eight winds cannot move me
One fart blows me across the river

The best thing about here and now is how we pick up each others ball and run with it. Keeps our DNA light codes glowing.
A different kind of glow compared to elsewhere.

Which goes more like this :

LOL For true! That kind of glow has it's place, for sure, and this is not it.

I don't know if I've said it here since I've been back. I've said it on the profiles of a few people who welcomed me back personally, but one of the main reasons I returned was because I missed the energy of a number of souls here at PA. Perhaps coincidentally, many of those souls are in residence right here in the Village, which is why the majority of my posting now is here.

I plan on continuing to start a few threads out in the warzone, and commenting in peace on the threads that I find of interest, but, in PA, the energy and specialness of the village is where the soul is for me.

It's kind of nice to be in a forum (PA) where you have the entire world in microcosm, all spectrums of personality and behavior, and yet to also have a gathering of beautiful souls that have similar understandings about how to relate to each other and the world, and who have chosen to open up and share themselves at this very special time, in this very special place.

Quite synchronistic, if you ask me. One of those Divine Coincidences of Time and Space.

Yes those apologies are so important!

My invincible glasses just came in the mail. Got them at www.congrats-gone-nuts.com I might get run out of town for the double post. We'll see if these glasses are worth the price of a latte.

I am a Simpleton

Knock, knock, who's there? Nobody. Nobody who even cares to figure it out.

I am learning to accept what I am - an honest Simpleton. I'm appreciative when a flash of insight and creativity mix with this simpleton template. I get to share what tickles me in that moment.

It's coming up on five months that I've been a part of the Avalon Family. I don't recall when I ever wasn't. I'm blown away at people's thoughts, experiences, and most importantly, the communication styles. It seems all are becoming more adept with their opinions. Either that I'm a more adept Simpleton.

Being a Simpleton has it's perks. Low expectations, means more room for insight and creativity. And I have more energy because this mind/body template points it's fingers almost never with laughing and guilting at the unused piles of books.

I'm getting better at not convincing myself and others that I know more than I really do. Man, pressures off. Do you know how freeing that is?

I am a Simpleton. The secret's out. There is a nagging feel. But even that doesn't matter. I hope I don't wake up and see it's a dream. There's still residual memory of old patterns, but like a sweaty palm print on a school desk top, that's fading.

Knock, knock, who's there? Nobody. Nobody who even cares to figure it out.

Time to make the jello. Feels like a lemon lime. That tickles.

Simpleton, to me, anyway, is a slightly diminishing term, and is taking away from your dignity.
Whereas if you called yourself a minimalist you are sending a different signal.

As a minimalist you are someone who has become what you are due to conscious choice, because you like it better thn your earlier being.
And this term doesn't even send a signal as to what others might see you as, from their own extravagant stance.

Part of self empowerment is to be in your own space, knowing that only you can occupy it, and then go from there.
This is part of the spirit of the Aquarian age. I bet your 93-year-old aunt would know what I'm talking about here.
But maybe even wasting words in the matter would not be in her interest any longer, since she moved past this issue ages ago.

Whereas if you called yourself a minimalist you are sending a different signal.

Minimalist and simpleton, only words. I am a simpleton by comparison to the great intellectuals. Aspiration to be the same is not a genuine life path. Happy to see it finally, ready to let it go.

In order to come to terms with who and what I am and am not, I need to acknowledge the false that I'm living as truth. I'm accepting that it is unrealistic and a waste of precious energy.

In the purity of the moment, coming to terms with long held beliefs of what others may think is an area that needs cleansing. They'll see what they see. But those that read the essence of what/who I am, then no explanation is needed; even that need not be my business.

Nature intended freshness and clear streaming from Heart and Higher Mind. I see it is long over due.

This. Is. Awesome.

Had to share a point of points from an NDE experience just read...
because Here and Nowers are helping to 'create' the new creation in thought and word and action...
as are Others everywhere, just a concentrated selfless effort here, imho : )

I was in physical reality because it is time for the physical being to mature and accept their responsibility for their
creation and to realize that they create their reality…

Only words. You are right. The feelings you are experiencing with your new understanding is what matters.
I can tell you are happy and I am really happy for you.

What I was trying to address was that I am about self empowerment,
and when that happens there is no need to compare oneself to others.
Someone who carves wooden toys and puts their heart and soul into it, enjoying every moment,
may be fulfilling their life's purpose just as would some intellectual who writes and publishes 50 books, sells 20 million copies,
yet leaves many readers with only one desire: to sell 20 million books themselves.

and that is exactly what the Here and Now is:
the place where physical and higher reality merge.
This does not happen anywhere else. Artists know this.
