Acknowledging and accepting not being alright may be as fleeting as anything else. There will come a time when I will not be alright with not being alright, yet again. But I'll worry about that when it happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588431127521658967.post-19783193978143240082009-01-12T16:29:00.000-08:002009-01-12T16:29:00.000-08:00Hello Marc,Thanks for the thoughtful post.

Hopefully this is not ultimately true, but it is practically true as a long-standing sense at the bottom of my awareness.DEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658452725061948770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588431127521658967.post-51045028507465728002009-01-12T14:06:00.000-08:002009-01-12T14:06:00.000-08:00I've been following your blog from the beginning, ...I've been following your blog from the beginning, and I really feel for your struggle because it is my struggle as well. I'm not sure I can accept your same conclusion for myself however. I couldn't agree more that there is great arrogance and futility in believing you can make changes to correct for a perceived deficient inner condition. It always seems to fail and with it comes such great weariness. I breath a heavy sigh just thinking of all the times I've had to pick myself up again and keep going at it, without that glimmer of hope and sense of knowing that comes with a path you lay before yourself to follow. I haven't fully learned that lesson yet but the truth of that is quite apparent to me. But isn't it equally arrogant and futile to decide for yourself that you will never be alright? It seems closer to the truth only in that it doesn't involve a specific doing on your part, but in the same breath there seems an equal commitment towards choosing resignation. Isn't the fundamental idea behind 2012 transformation! Or perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are saying, or just don't want it to be true. I don't want to speak too far outside my direct experience, but if we are truly One being, all sharing a common will and common experience at some fundamental level, then there has got to be some guidance common to the whole, otherwise the whole would never stick. It'd fly apart real fast. I also like to think that the nature of this common experience we share is benign and filled with peace. I can only speculate of course, but those times I have felt connected to others and part of something greater than myself have been blissful indeed. I don't think we should have to settle for pain! I just don't think we could ever bring about that transformation ourselves. Anyways, you can see your post has hit a nerve with me. Maybe what we are both saying really amounts to the same thing, but I do hope that you will keep on developing this idea for all of us. As it stands now, I don't sense you are fully satisfied with it. Shouldn't truth be satisfying?! <BR/><BR/>MarcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588431127521658967.post-23891549030767681622009-01-12T09:34:00.000-08:002009-01-12T09:34:00.000-08:00Congrats!
