Subject: [K-list] Liquorice all sorts - yummie!

On 2002/05/14  15:25, Rich posted thus to the K-list: I know that I can never really know myself for I am never to be found.. 
I am never me.. I am constantly changing.. How can I ever really know 
something that is not the same for as I observe myself I also change as 
do my considerations just like particles randomly moving according to 
Brownian motion. So isn't this really a paradox... a conundrum.. Isn't 
to know thyself really to mean to fully move with change.. To not get 
caught up for a millisecond by the flow and ebbs of the currents of 
life... To stay outside of time.. Outside of identification. outside of 
thought.  free of the mind.
 
 
 
As I work to shift the eons of debris that I have let myself become 
caught up in, slowly starts to emerge a newer freer being. A renewed 
spirit. A wiser soul. One not so keen to allow themselves to become 
snagged again so readily. 
 
 
 
The first observation in this is that by attempting to not allow myself 
to become snagged again there is a projection of this outcome happening. 
Just as hope is a projection of the fear of the thing happening as well 
as the preferred outcome. This is my ego (mind) still clinging on. it 
can lead only to a none better long term position. So I must also let go 
of my desire to not get caught up in things. Back to square one? Maybe..
  
 
I need to change my view (2nd observation).. The safest thing I can do 
for myself is to let go of my ego. For as long as I continue to act 
through it I continue to be trapped.. I continue to create a karmic 
backwash for myself.. Even the most subtle miniscule things will stir up 
the ripple-less pond of life that I experience when my ego is no longer. 
a projection of control or grasping will only produce a response of this 
back from life no matter how much I try to pretend it won't.
 
 
 
The 3rd observation is that as letting go becomes easier and karma 
starts to dissipate more. Everything starts to speed up..  Is it good or 
bad. I should not judge. everything gets faster and faster as I spend 
more time outside ... The gap between cause and effect seem to continue 
to narrow.. Sometimes almost immediate.
 
 
 
My only salvation is to stay in spirit. Wisdom of the moment.. No hope, 
nor no fear of any specific outcome.. Let spirit be the guide and never 
further waves to become caught within.. This is my only wisdom . knowing 
the manifestations of actions.
 
 
 
So my final observation is that becoming closer to living more out of 
spirit leads to a very fine line of what can stifle me or not. Actions 
have much greater strength than before. Power is granted to lift people 
up and destroy them in a manner of speaking.  It is how this power is 
turned that is so vital to my own existence. 
 
 
 
The difficulty is that there are still fragments of myself that believe 
they are better off trying to settle old scores and win attention from 
others. What is forgotten is that what is within me as divine power will 
always be so much more than what the outer manifestations can give to 
me. 
 
 
 
Why oh why do I still play this crazy game .. Knowing I can never win 
it..  Why oh why did I make it so hard for myself to find my own 
centre.. Why oh why do I still not trust this within me to be my guide 
always.. Why do I cling to my own stupid ego...
