Which I guess was the purpose of what PTD just wrote and summized in his one or two s
That phrase is what I wrote about for over an hour about, with absolute fluid clarity. It was so many things that got gathered into one outflow of a mystic nature that I believe only SoCal and SG could appreciate what I am talking about. I was in a zone. I spoke to all of you. I know what I said was correct. In the past two days since, I keep reading things out of the dictionary that had come to me that day before I had read them.
I know how Shariputra felt after plucking his eye out at the alms request of the Brahman. I couldn't possibly replicate what came from me. I was too exhausted by the end. And it was all lost over a smiley face!
But for the record, Gordy, I behaved like the person I should have, rather than the person you so cleverly suggested I might have been. Kudos to me. As SG has prophetically stated, you will find the humility that cause and effect bestows on those that need it. "Remember it when it comes back to you." (I'm smiling while I say that, but not for the reason you think I am)
And SoCal, for as many long posts as I have made here, I would think it obvious that what you suggested is exactly what I have already been doing for a very long time. The one I feel the most loss for is Natty. I think you could have gotten your head around a whole lot more. I will do my best to discuss the things that I feel are important.
SG! I am feeling it for your girl! I have goose bumps on my arms. You are there girl. Just fucking continue. DO NOT let your daimoku slip. It is key for you to develop a rhythm of steady contemplative prayer. Think through your relationship for those that you are "done" with, and have compassion for them. You must sincerely chant for their happiness, and mean it in your heart, to break the karmic cycle. It is clear you see it is there. Turn this obstacle into happiness.
I, too, am figuring out a lot of stuff right now….

BOG, are you still with us? I found a specific explaination of the experience of your awakening. I mean nailed it. It is just as you knew it to be, another stage in the development of your enlightenment. I hope you are chanting as you said you would. Are you experienceing anything at all yet? Don't forget how much a post here occasionally will mean to us all. Thank you!
