Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 > i'm having fun reading your posts...from the very first time you posted the thought 'this is the one that used to be called 'neo' came to me. i'm enjoying reading your words and wondering if your posting under a different name...and it really doesn't matter what we 'call' ourselves, since there are no new thoughts and thoughts are just arising...blah, blah, blah,. still, having some fun wondering :0) > I love that you are having fun, and would hate to spoil that happy story with a silly thing like a name. Loving that I can be whoever you want me to be. Loving what is .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Dear : Sounds as if you and I have taken a very similar path. As says, " your story matches my story equals Love at first sight!

Jan said: " external approval which is what I've noticed you guys give to one another quite nicely EXACTLY the trap that the ego keeps seeking - external approval - not looking to be authentic but once again trapped with looking for approval. " I know that you did not ask for my approval, but you do have it. It is worth nothing or everything - depending upon the story you tell yourself.

I don't know what does it mean to you? When one gives approval is that what one wishes for oneself? And if as states what happens to one is for that person not to that person and whatever happens is exactly what that person wants...then yes, one keeps doing things to get approval as long as one keeps getting approval...because we all constantly get exactly what we want - all the time. > Take care, > Same to you - Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
