Re: Andy's Zen story/Steve

Hi Steve ~

You wrote, " thank you for this reminder. Yes, I agree that we are not

the doer and it is not up to us. "

*****I've come to see it a slight bit differently. Maybe this will

click for you? If not, just hit the DEL key and be done with it. :-))

Agreeing to the conditions of this " awake dream " and within that

context agreeing that there are " apparent " individuals who *seem* to

do things, ... doing happens through us. We are instruments of the

doing (and thus, in this perspective, we are the doer).

However -- and here is the annotation -- we are not the Author of the

doing.

Apparent) doing happens through us and by us but it is not " our "

doing, not " ours " in the sense that we didn't write the script.

Just another way to hold this entire understanding...if it resonates.

dear Andy,

This reminds me of our dialogues from last year.

I think I understand what you are saying and I see it as another way

of saying the same thing in a softer/gentler way, that " We are not

the doer. "

I do not disagree with what you say but, of course, I prefer my way

of stating it.

Blessings, Steve D.
