My current struggle is ridding my compulsive non-complementary participation in the human game. To say "NO" to the opportunities to get involved (my ego?) and to commit to quieting the mind and no longer being under the thrall of the matrical logos that sets the parameters for this never ending universe.
Hubbard was on the right quest, but looking in the wrong place -- the mind. I just returned from a wedding related to my brother and it embroiled me in many postulates/counter-postulates. Mine and theirs. The mind was busy. It was like I had been sitting on the fence and I now had to choose sides and get off, one side or the other. My conclusion was that "Presence" is the only thing one needs to give those who reach out to you. But you won't develop this presence playing the same games they are playing, not without committing to do the work of clearing the mind. Presence is a beautiful, scarce, thus valuable thing. I would like to attach a speech from Aloka David Smith, a regular British bloke who is an exemplar of commitment and discipline in his particular method of clearing the mind. It still applies to Trommers and anyone else seeking to complete a work. He resonates and expounds on the problems of starting and doing one's clearing work, just as Dennis did in his lecture..."the hardest part is starting..." http://vimeo.com/dharmamind colleen
