Thanx Will-although really it's not so much work as it is the condition of the economy and general inflation of living.
I'm more interested in "letting go" of certain aspects of anger, and fear. Some anger is good, and some fear is preservation...as ya said living in a la-la land where everything is rosy isn't living in reality. I wonder though if I should be concentrating more on...I dunno...pinpointing certain things like fear as it applies to the experience, as well as getting rid of the "flinch factor" to seeing phenomena. My first reaction is always to back away or get out of the situation.
Well, as you know, the great grandpa of abduction, Whitley Strieber, has written a great deal about his supposed journey through terror and fear to attempting to respond to experiences calmly. He admits it is a difficult thing to do because there seems an inherent human instinctual aversion to "the visitors" that is at times so over the top that the normal ego mind is temporarily lost, and you find yourself almost on a purely animal level of survival, like a fox surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves. If the fox becomes calm and confident, do the wolves transform into cuddly golden retrievers? I find that hard to believe, but Whitley's books have explored that very topic. How do you just let go of fear? Easy to say. Breath deeply, feel the fear and call upon a spiritual entity of your choice for help and strength? One time I was in an experiencer situation at 3 a.m and I was in great pain from my own fear. I prayed to God to help me and take away this debilitating fear. In that one case, the fear vanished. I did feel calm and safe. Nonetheless, the experience still continued, and I woke up the next morning with the same bruises on both arms, and deep hairline cuts around my eyes and down my face that miraculously healed before going to work, and deep fatigue, as if I had really been awake much of the night. God help me never to go back to that. Vaeni can shake his booty like a senile Zen Master if he wants, channeling some unknown energy. He can invite the paranormal so he has something to speak/write about. I'm just happy to walk my dog and have a normal bowel movement, thank you very much.
excellent point, i saw an article last night about an indian rhino here at sydneys zoo. it had orginaly come from the tokyo zoo.
it had bad eye infections and needed vet care.
so the vet loads up a rifle with a knockout dart..........
as the vet and keeper wander off , the keeper says "as soon as he see that (the riflle) he'll know somethings up"
it struck me that even though the animal was fairly tame and used to being handled, the "procedure" always involved a rifle.
no matter how tame an animal of that physical potential is, it wouldnt matter if it had "learned" to be as docile as a bunny, we would shoot it with the rifle no matter what, with all that implys in terms of how that looks from the rhino's pov.
once it was down it had its eye sockets "probed" with instruments and fingers, looking for sources of the problem like grass seeds etc.
perhaps like the rhino our mental perspective and any reaction including fear is not a really a factor in the overall process.
what is significant to the rhino is that he wakes up home alone everytime......eventually. and if medically possible, better off than he was before though he may not realise it.
thats no comfort for the rhino when he sees the riffle approaching, which according to the keeper he does.
the procedure is just as much to ensure the animals safety as it is the "keepers", and you can draw some relative motives from the results, ie "good" in the rhinos case. all its life its known the rifle and what it portends, but it always wakes up in its expected environment, one could say the keepers are doing good in that respect. does this gives us a clue about the keepers as a species ? are they good bad or neutral ?. well the rhino wakes up back home in his enclosure doesnt he ?
but last nights lamb chop didnt
trying to find the truth abouts its "keepers" alignment good or bad is simply impossible for the rhino to do outside of its own relationship with them
