You, Ben, and Carol have triggered thoughts/feelings...
If we thought differently we would more aware of our sameness as opposed
to our differences;
We would KNOW (intuitive knowing) intellectually and spiritually that we
all are part of the whole;
We would not judge others because we would then be judging ourselves, and
vice versa;
We could feel the whole and the seperate pieces at the same time;
We would not be afraid;
We would always be playful even when we needed to be serious;
It wouldn't hurt when we were bitten in the leg, and it wouldn't matter if
we didn't know, it would just mean we still were not feeling the whole and
all of the seperate pieces;
Progress and advancement wouldn't matter because we would be accepting of
all;
There would be no comparisons of levels because levels don't matter -- we
are all part of the whole.
I guess I am thinking of the saying -- be careful what you ask for... A
friend and client called this morning and commented on my patience about
waiting for news on a big proposal. She said she decided to stop praying
for patience because the universe responded by testing her patience to the
max! So some of the above is written with that in mind -- if we ask and
desire progress too much will we hit a lot of stumbling blocks? Do we
focus too much on what is missing? On what we can't see? Isn't part of
the mechnaistic scientific approach to understand what is broken and to
fix it? What if nothing is broken?
