I do not have much perspective on Paul now.
I don’t really feel who he is, or what he is doing.
It is as though he is fading away. ("Yours sincerely, fading away.")
I feel the sharing's are starting to fade.
I have several things come to write, and I notice that I am not writing
them. And although it is not too important to know,
I like the idea of us sitting down together and chatting about it/him.
-------------
About people 'getting' what is shared with them.
That is one of the things I have been going to write about.
People still write to say they have just realised what I was sharing with
them years ago. And some write to say what they have realised - without
remembering that I had told them that years ago. The main thing is that they
got it. Although, the sooner we get it the less suffering we experience.
As we have shared many times before, it is rare that we hear the other
person. When we hear the other person's words we interpret them with our
our meaning of the words.
With a little devoted practice it is possible to 'read' people's energy and
see when they are not listening; listening and not hearing; and hearing but
not wanting to acknowledge that that is what they need to hear.
When we sit with someone who's experience we respect we need to let go of
our idea that we know what they are saying. 'Just drop into not knowing.'
It is not just what they say that can effect us deeply, it is that the
vibration, through their words, can activate that part in us where we know
already.
Science is now telling us that we do not usually experience the moment as it
is. The brain accesses old information that seems relevant. Saves brain
energy, but usually misses the moment.
Life is totally different when we are really unconditionally present.
More fun as well.
Who AmI 2.0
"I think, therefore I am"
Or?
" I think, therefore I think I am."
I was reading a sent link where the teacher was saying that the only thing
we really know is who we are in the moment.
Seems reasonable - and I have given up on that one as well.
I have absolutely no idea.
I can think/experience that I am standing still - yet I am told that the
planet is revolving and flying through space.
I can think I know myself - yet change is happening so fast the 'I' cannot
keep up.
I think we have to let go of the whole idea of who we are, where we are,
where we came from, what we are here for, and where we are going.
And, still stay inquisitive - just for the fun of it.
Love...

I think I am still adjusting to how primitive and unintelligent is the
average occupier of planet earth. Obvious to you?
And to repeat - Although I do not feel 'respect' for anyone's primitive
faith or belief, I always feel deep respect for who they are.
To me, belief and faith are attitudes that are implemented when one is not
sure and does not have 'proof.'

Also, it is not just that we are judged by the company we keep, we are also
strongly influenced by them - on many levels. In most people's lives there
needs to be some contemplation about the balance of essential and
unessential.
You say:
>dealing with an interesting situation with (my partner) right now,
>regarding safety, trust, relationship and commitment.
Partners are very good at bringing up the places where we are not yet clear
aren't they.
In my very extensive experience there is no such thing as safety; trust is
linked to distrust; relationships do not exist except in an unintelligent
mind; and commitment is death to life, love, and adventure.
Sending love to you...
