I'm so happy to hear you are listening to yourself.

You are not missing anything! It is because you think

you don't

understand this 'burning love for everybody' that is making you

feel

something is missing... because you aren't feeling it.

yes ma'm!

< How can someone be mated and still have

burning

<love for all the other men and women? What kind

of love is that?

Is it agape the <kind of love withheld for God, or is it real

love

for the person as a person?

Like Jan said, let's take away the adjectives -- burning.

And what

do you have left? Just plain ol' Love, which is all there

is... It

is neither burning nor not burning. Maybe acceptance would

be a

better word? Like you said in your first paragraph,

"And these

rednecks round here are all looking for a "significant other",

which

doesn't work for me either." -- You have accepted where they are

AND

where you are. THAT is unconditional love. Period.

No more, no

less. No burning. (ouch)

no cause for antibiotics then?

Burning? Nah. That is left for those

in the honeymoon stages of

love.

like when they're busking and getting right after they get bookoo splinters?

(hardehar)

< I mean - noone knows me and as such no one

loves me

<and so I assume it is a love where the loved one is known by

the

lover

<and returned by samesaid lover - so - what kind of love is

that? Are

we

<talkin "romantic love" here?

Yep. You got it. Another adjective that describes

how one will

choose their love to be with another, but not all.

Romantic love is

not real in the sense that it is saved for one *special* person.

Now

if we could all be romantically in love with each other, that would

be cool. I find the more I let go of the idea of romantic

love for

that one special person, the more I fall in love with others (not

in

the 'as a couple' sense). My friends become lovers

and my lovers

become friends. None of it is burning or 'hot babyburnin'love',

but

a deep sense of acceptance.

oh baby baby! like in the movies! oh - but NOT like that - hmm, very perplexxing

- deep sense of acceptance like with the fairies and the little people...

 

<Or is it an especially hot "brotherly love" which I am missing

out

on?

You are not missing out on anything, and don't listen to anyone

that

says differently! I used to yearn to be all this loveydovey

(more

adj) with others like those I surrounded myself with. I couldn't

understand why I didn't feel it -- What was wrong with me?!

Even

group hugs from these people felt strained on my part. I

mean here,

I'm an empath and I couldn't pick up on the ''Love''? LOL

you got me here - gal - to a tee (gee) - hee hee!

Valerie, I've watched you over the years, and

you are quite the

empath too. You are as confused as I was (and still am at

times)

because what we see and hear and what we feel are not matching.

No

wonder we get confused. Trust the feelings at this time if

they are

not matching.

say wha'??? trust the feeling if they are NOT matching??? oh oh an

example of why we are confused - okay. Yup!

I'm with you there! (somebody just had to pull my car outta the ditch...)

Love cannot be seen nor heard, but it can be

extended. Love is who

you are. And if you are not feeling the love as what you

think you

should be feeling, that is perfectly okay and probably more on

the

nose that you would truly think. You know what is real and

what is

not real. I've seen your beauty, your creativity, and fantastic

abilities to know and express exactly what you are feeling.

The

only thing I've seen you possibly err with, is not honoring what

you

are feeling. And if I am right in you being the empath I

think you

are, that is perfectly normal.

thankyou teegee, thankyou, and thankyou! And back to you 3 times hence!

Look at your confusion or doubts to see if you

want to keep them or

not. Are you doubting yourself or another? Bring it

back to you,

the doubts about what you are feeling.

I realize there is a lot of trouble in the world with "love" today, and

I realize I was brutally beaten and abused as a child, so it makes me cry

when I don't understand because I think it's my err. I just have to ask,

that's all.

Honor that what you are feeling (no *burning*

love for everyone) is

what you, or someone else, may have defined love to be as " _(fill

in

the blanks_") and that you've taken it to heart. You

Valerie, are

just pure Love itself -- I feel it in every post of yours.

Keep

being yourself, as it is quite beautiful for all of us. That

is all

you need do.

thankyou - I don't know! (perplexed smiley)

You are Love, just as we all are. And we

can extend this love to

manifest it by accepting others exactly where they are. By

doing

this, we accept where we are. Here. Now.

Others may get offended

by this because they want you to go where they are... to a place

of

nonacceptance of where you are. But that is perfectly okay

too, as

this is where they are!

the above paragraph is SO COOL!!! I think I'd like to quote it sometime

- it is so applicable!

There is no right or wrong place. We are

all here now.

yes - but I'm over here now!

There is no better gift than this.

<Is it a level one reaches after so many years of prayer and

meditation?

There is no level one needs to reach inasfar as I know, and I've

been

on so many levels it would make your head spin. The best

level is

where you are now. You can do loads of prayers and meditation,

or

you can do nothing. Just be yourself, which you have always

done.

Be who you are -- Valerie. The more you begin to know

and accept

yourself, and honor this beautiful being instead of being confused

by

it, the more you will let go of all that is not you, easily.

thankyou.

<Either way - it feels to me as if someone

has gutted me with a fish

<knife and my insides are spilling out, and the pain of the

non-stop

<tears, so I guess I don't get it.

Oh, you get it. You just haven't accepted you. You've

accepted how

you *should* be. That is not you. I really love just

the way you

are and have been for years - your posts always make me feel

refreshed.

If you became all burning love for everyone, I'd have to gut myself

with a fish knife. :-)

lolololol!!

Big Hugs -- Now take that fish knife out and

let your insides go

ahead and spill out.

I already did - where'd they go????

hahahahaha!

love to all!

valerie

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness.

Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is

hi Jan,

yes - to be as simple and as noble as a tiger - but then don't their cubs

have various fathers? There is not the complicated psychological miasma which

forebodes the humans and those with bonds (my apologies to those who are bonded,

hats off - all that!) but a footlooseness and detachment which I wish I could

attain in my life. And yet there's the horrid cuisine - shredded ripped raw

flesh, live insects, grubs and raw intestines - I'm not sure it's worth it, love

or no love...

so you say the "life force" is the "Self" is the "tantric", do you? I

find that

interesting cos other people just call it "sex" and go to girlie movies or XXX

websites on the internet (hehehe!) Man! That force is strong - it is SO subtle

but it runs all life on earth! As for mating or bonding for life, I don't know -

it doesn't seem neccessary - there are exercises and medications and surgeries

to help with that ;-) -

For instance my therapist used to be a man and now she is a BIG woman with a

huge tattoo of Buddha and somebody -

a monkey - ah gee - I'll write later someday maybe to tell you who - but you get

the gist - she's SO well educated, and all she needed were a few adjustments to

be happy and tantric mating doesn't appear to be one of them! Some people go for

a long long way for their spiritual life though, I must admit...

thankyou,

valerie

Sorry bobby, no.

I should have put a wink in there, eh? No, no not making fun not at all

simply saying something about "becoming."

Everybody has their own way, yes?

Just be careful of all the effort,hummm, lots of effort usually begetts

attatchment to the path and rules prescribed by others are usually the

result of awakening. Being friendly as a stategy sounds a bit untrue....

 

If a person is just themself, it all comes out in the wash. Can you be in

the moment without being "Bobby?"

 

love you friend (sincere)

 

Shawn

Dear Bobby,

 

The 'mileage' of various translators may differ...

A small collection from Purohit swami:

(II, 33) If wrong sentiments disturb, cultivate right thoughts.

(I, 33) Mind attains peace by associating with the happy, pitying the miserable,

appreciating the virtuous, and avoiding the vicious.

(I,21) Success is immediate where effort is intense.

(I,22) Success varies according to whether the effort is mild, moderate or

intense.

 

Peace,

Jan

respectively, the consciousness becomes favouraby disposed, serene

and benevolent.

 

Commentary: These qualities keep the mind in a state of well-being.

Patanjali here lays the groundwork for our journey towards Self-

Realization. Citta Viksepa is a current of disturbed thoughts

running like a river. In citta prasadana, graceful diffusion, the

turbulent flow is dammed up and consciousness diffuses calmly like a

lake.

 

Iyengar is a modern day devotee of Patanjali and considers him his

guru.

 

He, I believe is still in the body.

 

Effort is the partner I brought to the dance. I have no reason to

start doubting her beauty now.

 

Love

Bobby G.

Hi Shawn:

 

Thanks for your reply. 'Becoming' is a good topic. I know many

people, many living modern day teachers speak about it. If becoming

enlightened as a frame of mind were the only obstacle to be overcome

then giving up meditation might be the right course. I see the

vasannas, the deep seated tendencies as a dominating feature in one's

life, remaining even if the 'becoming' issue is resolved. Meditation

is helpful with overcoming them.

 

I was intent on becoming perfect when I was young. I read the texts

and interpreted the procedures as something that would lead me to

perfection. A teacher advising a student in that frame of mind to

inspect the 'becoming' would be helpful.

 

Now, I think of the topic of becoming as a problem in

directionality. By that I mean that as a beginner, I (Bobby) look(s)

toward the Self (perfection). Later the direction changes and the

Self is found to be looking at Bobby. People in the beginning look

outward for peace and later learn to look inward. This happens in

real time today. By daily habit I look outward at the concept of

Self. Upon realizing 'the moment' that stops. It stops not because I

do it, but automatically.

 

Bobby can not be in the moment. He disappears. He is found to be an

illusion just as the rope that appeared to be a snake. There is

no 'becoming' because "I" cannot become enlightened.

 

The topic of love and its meaning was why I brought up the word

friendliness.

 

Attachment to a path or attachment to no path makes no difference.

Detachment, dispassion, vairagya is where effort is placed. A

concerted lack of effort is impossible.

 

Love

Bobby G.

 

ps-I do appreciate your efforts on my behalf. Thanks -bg

Hmmm, yes, could be "one without an other," and "one with an other"

as an osscilation. An interesting way to take it.

 

Still, there would have to be an other, for such an

oscillation to occur.

What is the contradiction?

Release of fear feels better than maintaining

fear.

Yes.

 

Movement requires a perception of change,

which requires a continuing observer apart from

that which is being perceived as changing,

such as "scenery,states of consciousness," or "time"

Self-deception being the activity of trying to stand outside

Geez Val, that has to be the toughest thing anyone has to live

through and let go of. I can't imagine. As an adult victim of

domestic violence, I thought it was my error too for a long time,

especially when starting the spiritual path and thinking we were

responsible for everything. We were both victims, and especially you

being a child. I'm not sure if it is anything we can ever

understand, except that it was not our fault. Ignorance (spiritual

or otherwise) on the adults part is no excuse for beating a child, or

beating anyone for that matter.

 

It has helped me immensely to become involved with helping other

victims of DV. There are DV shelters in every city that can always

use volunteers, counselors, advocates, not to mention donations!

 

I don't know if this is something you might be interested in, but

thought I'd pass the thought on, as the understanding of my own abuse

has grown so much since I've been involved with this particular

area. And the best thing is watching these women and children come

to the shelter completely broken down and beaten, and just by

listening, talking, sharing, crying and laughing with them, within a

couple of days, they grow brighter and brighter, with a strength they

never had, including my own. It is truly a miracle to watch. And

those group and individual hugs *feel* real.

Yikes! And what a great place to be! Over/under, we are still here

now. We can't be otherthanwise. You make me laugh... I think that's

why I've always enjoyed your posts. Thanks for making me laugh and

cry and smile and feel good all these years.

After watching this particular subject post, it is now my

understanding that the burning love b is speaking about, is the deep

appreciation and love we have for nature and the *ordinary* things

that occur in our lives. (?) (I could be wrong - please correct me,

b, if I am in err).

 

Hey, and we have this as much as b, wim, or anyone! Thinking has

nothing to do with it. I've seen you get all misty-eyed over

watching the whales, and I know you are like that with many

miraculous ordinary things in your life. It's the same with me, and

I'm sure 99.999% of the people here on this list. Geez, a flower can

take my breath away. A tiny gesture on another's part brings me to

tears. We are all here! LOL

Bee: "Such Bliss! God, I must have This!

This Nectar, This Sweetness Sublime!

It is why I am here, as bee-ness, being the

Buzzing, humming in rapturous insect-song,

Reveling in this Rhapsody of Flower-ness, this

Irresistibility of my Heart's Desire, my Yearning for

Only This, Bliss of Being, Bee-ing, and Oh – This

Flower of my Love Embraces me, Yes, and I am

A passion of intoxicated Joy, an undeniable wanting of

This Union, to Drown in This, to even Disappear in only

This, so Sweet, so Rich, and I have to possess This, for This

Is what Possesses me, draws me out of myself and into what is

Most Attractive, most Consuming, and all I see is This, and

All I taste is This, and I am become This – Yes – in the

Consummation I have become This Flower, It's

Essence flowing into me, my Essence One with Flowering

Love that lights Its Way through every nerve, every fiber of my

Buzzing Ecstasy, and Yes I shall simply die out into This, for

This at last is nothing but what I am, when I am given unto This!"

Have grown myself for, blossomed myself into This Beauty for,

Embracing Only You, my Delight, Only You, my bold Insistence

Spreading me open to receive Your Hungry Desire, the Desire

I have awakened in You, that ancient Impulse Alive now as this

Darling, Yes!"

 

 

Commentary:

The Song of Love is Heard only by Love. It is the Loving Rhythm of

Love for and by Itself. Along with the little-known practice of

actually Loving, and Inquiry into the True Nature of the Lover, such

Hearing is more potent than any other so-called spiritual discipline,

until all such disciplines are recognized as only the Play of Love.

The Blessing Sound that Love bestows makes one who is ready

immediately open and empty to receive, devoid of any resistance.

Love's Real Nature is the OneHeart Itself. Only.

 

The ordinary person dreams in the brain, unaware of their True Home

in the Heart. The Lover lives in the Heart. The Lover is Lived by the

Heart, Awakening to a constant Whisper of the Heart to Itself. For

the Lover, the True Devotee of Love, there is nothing but the Joyful

movement of the Formless Heart into all forms and relationships as

Song itself! The Lover has no will. No Choice. All such fantasies

have been consumed by the lovely Fire of Love. In the realm some

call "this world", the Lover knows that what they hear is not

separate from the OneHeart in Which all arises and dissolves, Which

they realize in the Heart as their own Self, Singing!

Love hears nothing as greater or lesser, higher or lower, better or

worse, more or less desirable. All is only Love to such ears. In the

state of Love the Lover hears nothing separate from the Beloved's

Voice – Radiance Divine rippling in every direction for the sheer

Magnification of Itself in Mysterious Symphonic Wonder.

For the Lover, Love alone IS, and nothing else.

By persisting in Communion with Love, the Lover sheds all recoil from

Love, until such dry tunes drop away completely, revealing That Which

Is. In such Humility, Love, Which Is Truth, becomes the Sacrifice

Which returns as the Singing Smile, illuminating all that does not

Recognize Itself as Love. Exquisitely, Beloved presses so urgently

down into mortality as a Musical Love Offering to that which lingers

in the forgetfulness of its own True Nature. How Happy is the Lover

to fall into this slipstream of Loving's Bright Song, that all may

enjoy the Delight of Love's Homecoming to Itself, the Self of All,

the Treasure of the Living Light of Heart-broken Surrender to the

deepest Yearning of Being Itself! Jai to the Inextinguishable, this

Ever-living Flame, this HeartSong!

Hi Jan:

 

Thanks for these remarks. Being given the opportunity to use energy

to unseat these perpetual liabilities that I find myself with is a

great boon. I am grateful to know what needs to be done.

 

I went for many years plugging away without much reassurance of

progress but was finally given help in the form of Sri Ramana

Maharshi.

 

Love
