Regarding being true to one's nature on here, is there any other choice? I was thinking about what the difference in self-structure is, between the person full of thoughts about who they are, and the person with a rested mind.
I can picture my own experience as previously living within a sphere of totality of myself, with a big impenetrable nucleus at the center. So I was aware of everything around the nucleus, except the nucleus itself (which was a completely unsustainable state). Then, once it began to develop cracks and rapidly break apart, there became nothing left to hold onto. This distinction regarding our awareness is a crucial one in determining our personal truth, and that of others. I find that once the nucleus becomes known to us, it becomes easy to spot it in others, whether they are aware of it or not. The difference between having exploded one's nucleus and not is in the former case, we are oneness within. However if the tight nucleus of ego remains, we are constantly in a state of duality within ourselves, the known and the unknown, or the comfortable and uncomfortable. If someone is in a state of ignorance wrt their inner nature, then that person will see the world as completely different than someone with full knowledge of themselves. Two completely different worlds, even though outer experience may appear similar. So if someone appears dishonest, or contrary or fearful to us, it is merely a difference in awareness, and no deliberate attempt at deception or obfuscation. Each type of person has their own awareness, one is complete and one is incomplete. Comparing the two is a futile exercise in apples and oranges. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <jstein@...> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" <curtisdeltablues@> > wrote: > > > > I was mulling over a few versions of this post myself Barry, > > but since you nailed it I can get off with just a: > > > > what he said. > > > > Favorite line: > > > > > Call the media.
