Both you and Michael, though, have a way with putting things that, I think, connects better than most. Hence, the suggestion...

Thanks for you're kind words not2too i am honored by you're suggestion.
i agree, the internet is in danger of spontaneous combustion, what with all this enlightenment info.

love mel.

So the challenge as I see it is to be current and within the now,and to refrain from talking
about anything in particular-truth-The weather---well its ok to talk about the weather!

You are right there not2too,we can but point in the direction of home,typing here on
this forum is past tense,however the idea is to plant a "seed thought" and hope it rains?

regards michael.

Maybe the more "seed thoughts" planted the better the chance of rain? Will the "hundredth monkey effect" apply here?

"Cultivating the garden" is a Taoist ideal. Maybe you're a Taoist as well as a Toeist...

That which "IS" is forever real and authentic and is forever Be-ing in the eternal forever
now,we as outposts of this Absolute Life have a responsibility to align ourselves with this
pulsation of LIFE,thereby ourselves becoming more real and authentic,and exhibiting the
hallmark signs of this alignment that of sychronous spontaneous actions.

I well remember being told "just be yourself and you will be ok"well I did not feel ok!And
spent many a long day pondering on that very injunction.It was not until I "came across"
the idea of meditation that being ones self took on a whole new meaning.

"alignment"was the in-word then,for being aligned I was told was a step towards being
real and authentic,was about acquiring depth,becoming less rigid,and having "flashes of
spontanaity"wonderful stuff I thought.


That which IS dwells within us,then where are we!A question that has been asked for
many a long century a question that is asked today.That which IS within you is absolutely
real,YOU,well you are relatively real,a comforting thought?

The synchronous, spontaneous actions while aligned are a great image! Like a tango...powerfully seductive. Just don't forget who's leading...
