Subject: Attention.....

"You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth." -- Kahlil Gibran in "The Prophet" on Children
*Deep Bow* Kahlil, another who is always in this Heart, such Wise words thee offer. Pointing to the crux of the chain of preconceptions that keeps humanity in Bondage to the Grand Trickster. We groom our young to follow in our footsteps, though those footsteps lead to hate and conflict and greed and eventually to Hell. It is long past the time when we must brake this chain by educating our young, who are now adults rearing their own young (our grandchildren). They must be shown what we have done to them and what vile preconceived notions we have burdened them with, so that hopefully they will not burden their young as we have done to our's. WE are causing generation upon generation to follow Blindly into the Doom of humanity's eventual demise. So WE are the only ones who can Save us. WE broke it, so WE have to fix it. No one Saves us but ourselves, no one can and no one may, others can Point to the Path, but we ourselves must Walk the Way.
True?
One of the old masters was asked "What is the Way?" The old master took his brush and wrote the character for "attention". The monks ask, "is there anything else?" The master wrote: "attention, attention". The monks say, "that's it!?!" The master writes: "Attention! Attention! Attention!"
Namaste, ej

Prints In The Sand
One night I had a wondrous dream, One set of footprints there was seen, The footprints of my precious Lady, But mine were not along the shore.
But then some stranger prints appeared, And I asked the Lady, "What have we here?" Those prints are large and round and neat, "But Lady, they are too big for feet."
"My child," She said in somber tones, "For miles I carried you alone. I challenged you to walk yourself, But you refused and made me wait."
"You disobeyed, you would not grow, The walk, you would not know, So I got tired, I got fed up, And there I dropped you on your butt."
"Because in life, there comes a time, When one must fight, and one must climb, When one must rise and take a stand, Or leave their butt prints in the sand."

People laugh. And when people laugh....it isn't Predictable.

That which is contrary is the same. Though that which is the same is quite contrary. Change is very constant. And the only thing certain is uncertainty. Thus, it would seem, that unpredictability is even predictable. Spontaneity might even be planned. Who knows in a topsy-tervy world. At least that is how it appears Through The Looking Glass by Alice {8-) So says the Hookah Smoking Caterpillar.

Subject: Back in France
From: Cyrille ANDRIEU <cyrille.simone.andrieu@wanadoo.fr> Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 03:17:45 +0200 (CEST)
Greetings E.J,
I'm back in France again. It's strange feeling not to see my father any more, as it is my brother won't be arround either. Well life here on earth continues.
Sorry for the long silence, had to take care of things in Japan, & now here. My husband's family are actually around on holiday now, so have to attend to that too.
Well all my daily life has to do with my spiritual growth too. So I'm aware about refinning my soul as to my relation with others for instance.
I often think about you & when I receive your teachinngs I read them & reflect on them.
Namaste,
Simone

Greetings Simone,
->I'm back in France again. It's strange feeling not to see my father any more, as it is my brother won't be arround either. Well life here on earth continues.
Glad to see you back to more of a relaxed mode of operations. Some things rise and some things fall, we must acknowledge that and move on. Some things we can influence and some things we must allow to run their course. What-IS is What-IS and That is That.
->Sorry for the long silence, had to take care of things in Japan, & now here. My husband's family are actually around on holiday now, so have to attend to that too.
I was wondering when you would update us as to taking care of things in Japan and your return home. Your return home at this little Oasis here too {8-)
->Well all my daily life has to do with my spiritual growth too. So I'm aware about refinning my soul as to my relation with others for instance.
Yes we must stay focused and Present, all else will simply fall into place. Though admittedly, in today's busy world staying focused and Present is easier said than done. We just have to keep working at it {8-)
->I often think about you & when I receive your teachinngs I read them & reflect on them.
All Teachings are actually just Pointers. so yes we have to ponder those Pointers and see where they might apply to our daily lives. Enlightenment or Awakening is all about our lives and as we live them. It is its relevance to our lives, daily lives, that make Enlightenment or Awakening of any value. It helps us BE our lives and the True Nature we inherently ARE. It allows us to See far more Clearly. The Hidden becomes obvious, the Darkness becomes lit, the complicated becomes Simple. Points to Ponder {8-)

Namaste Dear Friend, ej

Greetings E.J
Thanks for answering my email, I'm delighted to hear from you again.

Yes, we must move on, though I acknowledge I was pretty much attached to my brother, but what helped me to move on was knowing that he no longer suffers, but most importantly that I prayed & asked for both my father & brother go to the LIGHT & continue whatever work they have to do in the Real World. I didn't want to keep them back by my negative thoughts, on the contrary I kept on telling them to move towards the Light. The very thought & visualisation on them going towards the Light strangely helped me not to suffer, but felt somewhat part of being there with them. Oh, I cried when I was alone & it was awful but at the samee time relieving, just when I knew he was going to pass away. Then I pulled myself together & said to myself, if I really love him, I must allow him to go & encourage him on his journey HOME where surely has other things to do. So I musn't delay him.

Yes, lucky I have a place like this "little Oasis" where I can talk & confide my feelings, but most important prepare my soul for "insurance death". We all shall leave earth one day, so we should prepare ourselves for when the critical moment comes. I believe the best help would be to become Awakened in this lifetime, because that's our true goal & reason for why we came here on this earth.

True, the key word is "be focused and Present" but often our thoughts wave off here & there! Our thoughts = who we are. If we want to know who we are/stand spiritually, we can see what kind of thoughts we generate regularly. Then do some self-refllection to purify ourselves & then go into meditation to vibrate at a higher level to refine our soul. Well that's my point of view. Thought=mind > > ->I often think about you & when I receive your teachinngs I read them & reflect on them.
I thank you for giving us all this food for thought in order to Awaken. If we pursue this Path who knows we might get there in this lifetime. Well, that's what I sincerely wish for all of us students here in "little Oasis". > > All Teachings are actually just Pointers. so yes we have to ponder > those Pointers and see where they might apply to our daily lives. > Enlightenment or Awakening is all about our lives and as we live them.

Again & again, thanking you for all the time & effort Namaste, Simone

Subject: A Body.....
From: "E.J." <ejLight@Light-Mission.org> Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2010 11:20:52 -0700
Greetings Community,
It has been said: ->many have problems accepting ->"I am not the body".
Why would you want to accept that? You are as much the form as you are formless. There is a Totality AS physical existence, and an aspect of that Totality AS that body. It is not that there is not this form, but rather that we are not to identify with that form. We are conditioned to identify with the form thereby separating and glorifying the form at the expense of the Totality that this form is an aspect of. A multiplicity AS Unity. When we Realize that the body is but a facet or aspect of the Unity/Totality of our True Nature, we tend to its needs but give it no more importance than any facet/aspect. The Key being attention on the Whole rather than its seeming parts.
->Who cares?
There is your answer. There is no one to care. There is no one identified with whatever it is to care about. When each multiplicity is more important than the Unity/Totality there is divisiveness and self-importance. When Unity/Totality is more important than its various multiple aspects (the body, for example) there is only What-IS (AS Unity/Totality).
->how about stopping the pleasure/pain cycle ? No pleasure ?
What makes you *think* there is no pleasure when we stop the ever swinging pendulum of arising preconceived thoughts? You may have a treat in store {8->
AnyBody have anything to add?
Metta, ej
