Guest guest Report post Posted January 6, 1999 You know what? I'm so sick of hearing about being conditioned and reacting and our false selves and what's wrong with us, that I really don't give a damn. SO WHAT if I'm conditioned and react and all that? So what? To worry about it, to acknowledge it, to improve it, isn't any better than having it. The problem is that people suffer it. People suffer it and then they suffer getting rid of it. And then they suffer its absence and then they suffer their coming realizations. The problem is the suffering of it. Not it. I'm sure I've done all kinds of crazy things in my life, but one understanding has never changed since the age of 7. I AM. That plainly shines forth. Being there. With I AM. Everything else falls into place. Whether you call I AM, Jesus or Guru or Your Guru, Sri (put his or her name here), or whatever. Abide in I AM. Do that first and last and during. Why crunch the gravel on your path, when one stone, quiet and whole, awaits your full attention?
