Greetings Sal and Isis;
higher selves? lower selves, geesh it is getting crowded in here or what?
Nothing like duality......... Welcome to the Samsara Dinner Theater, check your coats at the door and enjoy the show.
What was it that Wei Wu Wei used to be on about, oh yes I remember, "There is no becoming, ALL IS".
GoldenIsis, you shared:
" I do know that I've been down more than one garden path courtesy of misguidedly misinterpreting phenomena when it seemed So Darned Obvious...at the time. *roflmao* I know that my subtle channels don't infallibly give totally accurate information"
YES! That is it, isn't it. But it is not so difficult to see why......
In the moment, that experience is what it is. An experience in the moment, and then on to the next moment. But *we* cannot let that go, that bliss, that intuition that needing, that desire for more spirituality, and thus we *hold onto* that freezing it not as it was, but as we now *NEED IT TO BE*, and how we now *INTERPRET IT TO BE*. All the while colored by our wants, needs, beliefs and interpretations of what it should be and mean.
And then wonder why it is unclear and doesn't live up to our expectations.
What was I blathering about the other day,.... "concepts can only save your conceptual self", hahahahahahaha
You also shared:
" And I know that the 'higher self' rap Always makes me queasy because one has to be damn clear to avoid self-delusion, and frankly, I don't believe as many people who rely on that avenue are so damn clear as they would like to think they are."
Avoid Self-delusion!!!! What is there but self delusion, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaha...... All these concepts, high selves, low selves, inbetween selves. (Personally I keep two around, one for casual, one for best, but that's just me). I mean really, who has time to sit around and pay attention to all those beliefs, concepts, wants and desires floating around in that head, let alone the high and low selves to be clear?
Take gentle care;
Vinny
