It is a term for something

Which you cannot imagine

Because then it would bite

Its own tale

 

(Outch!

And it did not even

exist in the first place)

Hi Marc,

 

I think it would be more correct to say that the ego IS this conflict.

Hi Al.,

 

(exactly)

.....but don't tell to " anybody " ....:)

 

because some ego-minds don't " see " even the conflict....

Not imagine, but we can directly see that something in us is AWARE of

our thoughts, is aware of the ego, so to speak. Only the mature seeker

can see this. A person who is totally identified with his or her

thinking cannot see this very clearly.

Yepp. One has to see the total movement of thought (and emotions and

sense perceptions) in oneself. This SEEING is unconditioned at its

root and becomes conditioned as it moves into the world of form.

Beloved Anders

Are you a mature seeker?

How mature?

What do you seek?

And why?

 

Can you resist now the itch to post an instant answer?

And act like a real seeker?

Or are you still a real knower?

A know it all?

 

With whom are you identified, Anders?

Or (which is the same):

NOT identified?

 

Who is Anders?

Which road does he walk down?

Where will it end?

 

Easy like a sunday morning...

Lovely Anders

Wonderful perfect being

Wants all

But has it all

So easy...

The mature seeker sees what that which is prior to form.

There is just the question if " mature seeker " is not a contradiction

in itself. But, as we speak about maturity... there is a group here in

the neighbourhood where only mature people are admitted. I have

joined, out of couriosity, which I also said in my application form.

The owner of the group welcomed me with the words " couriosity killed

the cat " , followed by a twinkling smiley. Funny, isnt it. I think I

stayed there for one or two weeks just to discover how boring maturity

must be and how... retarded. I am more for lolila, you know...

I don't remember in what context I used the word " mature seeker " , but

the less ego identification there is, the more mature the seeker is.

When there is no (serious) hate, there is no seeker. :)))

That is only true when there is no seeker. When there is a seeker,

then what you say is not true.

For you it may be true that there is no seeker, but for me there is a

seeker because I am still identified with my ego.

no (free) choice to be seeker....or not....

 

it depends on the attitudes ....to oneSelf....

 

....a path that " we " share here....for some moments of time
