Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Dear Andy, lovethework, Steve, , Tamara, Roslyn, , yesterday I printed out some of your recent posts and spent part fo my day with reading them ... But after a while it was getting strenuous, I was excited all the time! I found myself kind of captured ! I felt like I´d have a fever, and today I´ve got a sore throat ... Today I still feel that I´m not really healthy .... the body-mind is responding to the heavy food the " mind " - or whatever !!!!!!! - had been provided with ! But I feel good, don´t worry! (Only the body " tries " to resist, but " I " am quite o.k. - no, it´s more than that - I´m enjoying it !) So, that´s what I want to share with you today: I feel that I cannot compete with you in the discussions ... but instead I engaged in looking into my life to - maybe - see in which way these discussions, these insights, these attempts to understand the whole stuff ( what is the ego, God, the Son of God, the mind, time, decisions, ....) what has all that stuff got to do with my life, i.e. is there a relation between theoretical display and " my " own personal experiences ? Answer: Yes, there is !!!!! And that´s great, I tell you! The situation: I´ve got two options of how to go on with my present job after summer this year. (It is obviously a time of great change for me. ) Also I want to go to Africa again. But I don´t DO anything. I really found that there is no need to ! Great ! Yes, that´s it ! Today I had a talk with my boss - which had not been planned - and we agreed on having more meetings on that topic with some of the authorities responsible in this matter. Fact: At present I do not know whether I shall do a certain job (whether they will be interested in having me do this new job, will I be invited, engaged? or not?) or: Will I go to Africa and committ myself to the idea of establishing a primary school as had been suggested by my African friends and me last year .... ? Whenever people ask me what are you going to do next year, I honestly answer " I don´t know. I´ll see. " I just watch myself getting up in the morning and doing certain things, and not doing others. What will I be doing tomorrow? Let´s see. Who will call me, who will cross my way, where will I go, what book will I read and who will make any suggestions to me ...... and so on Maybe this is not at all new for you and you have made this kind of experiences long time ago. But for me it is really exciting. What I found is that to live my life that way ( " I just live my life watching myself what I´m going to do the next moment. " ) brings me peace. And there is no fear either. There is no more fear because I´ve no preference, I don´t WANT to decide and vote whether for Africa or for the job in my town. I´ll see what the outcome will be and I´ll be completely satisfied with it. Because " I " cannot do anything " false " . NO MISTAKES !!! Thank you for this story, Tamara! It´s delicious! Well, that was my report on how the discussions going on here have - as it seems - effected my experiences, lately. And ------- Andy, in one of your posts to me you wrote : " Now for some reason Rosemarie is being directed to examine the foundation of that confusion. How will she fare? Well, .... we´ll have to wait and see. " Oh, dear, you are so cute! That sounded to me as if there would be a caring understanding father who´s ready to be patient enough to wait for his child to grow up ( or, in that case : to WAKE UP !!!! I think I´m a good child :-):-) Oh, sorry, of course I know, it´s not ME deciding to awake :-)...... Have a good night, everybody! love, Rosemarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
