Way too many words for me. SN I have no path. I call them as I see them. I make no excuses and careless what anyone else thinks nor do I take advice even if it's given with good intention. I am perfectly fine with What IS. Haha, OK. Yeah, there's really nothing to say about IT, so there's always more to say! I'll have to remember this 1280th post (since Aug 2010) answering this 108th post (since Sept 2008) saying SN was using "way too many words"! When you use the word "careless" here, are you winking at me! Irony in the dreamstate...gotta love it! I do! I eagerly await your very short book. It's gonna be great! By the way, I'm copyrighting the following phrases and ideas, so you can't use them in your book. 8-)Finding Truth/What Is is a pathless path. :-XAll opinions, beliefs, and ideas about it are useless for finding IT. :DThe best tools for finding what you've never lost are non-conceptual awareness and direct sensory perception, ???but self inquiry can help curve the appetite for finding it "elsewhere". ::)There's less Here than meets the eye. Oops, looks like the book may be shorter than you thought! I Love You St. Michael!

>>Dream- Yea, as an intercultural communications trainer, I have always been amazed at the variety of things that can happen when someone paints themselves into a corner with their two brushes of ongoing logic and denial. Obviously, the topic of this ST board is a little different, but the intercultural competence required for greater sensitivity to and awareness of "self" and "otherness" kind of applies, just not necessarily to the same depths. Lots of stuff bubbles up...interesting stuff if you can really look at it in a detached way. Anyway, as for your predicament with limbo, you seem to be looking for a spark to get the fire going. What kind of fire are you looking to set? - A candle to light up the darkness a bit, so you can see your immediate way a little better.
- A nice campfire to gather a few new friends around, so you can share stories, get fresh insights, build up an alternative life story, and see where that leads.
- A raging inferno to bring down the whole edifice.
I lived well below the poverty belt myself for a number of years. My family even offered to help, thinking I was in great need, but I declined. I sensed the infinite potential, and was truly curious, indeed, in need of something quite different than what was being offered "in this world". Having said that, that piece of paper called a university diploma did open a few doors throughout Asia and even the US for me. Each door presented new challenges for the self as I continued to work within. The stumbling, painting myself into corners, grappling with futility, collapsing, etc all balanced out by the seeing of how the moment reflects back a lesson in life, the meetings with seemingly empty old souls coming to my aid at just the right time,the joy of expansive moments of transcendence, the sincere intimate times of presence, ,,,, and <<poof>>. Aaaah, the fires, love'm all! The spark is available. Light the candle, that lights the fire, that starts the inferno. Only you can do this. Something I noticed at times of doubt was that while I was waiting for something to happen, I kept myself occupied by worrying and wading through anxiety that just kept bubbling up. The me thrives in this unconsciousness.

Truth IS (What Is) Love IS (What Is) Beauty IS (What Is) Conceptually, trois fois rien. Questions remain. Burn until IT IS. You'll know when; no question. Carrying on, but traveling lighter, hehe.

Prolly cause 5 nano-volts don't mean nuthin to us electrified humans. ~ Can I use my earth-worm prod? Sharks are like big worms, right? Right. I might have to go fishing with shark for bait.

Welp, I was wondering about the voltage of worm shockers (looks like about 300V) and found this recall notice from the product safety commission, so maybe shark hunting with it isn't the best idea. Hehe.
"CPSC is aware of more than 30 deaths involving functionally-identical worm probes. Consumers have been electrocuted by contacting the exposed metal shafts and shocked by touching the ground in the vicinity of the probe."

Well, gee. I'll have to rob a bank instead, hahaha. But why exactly would you ever touch the metal shafts of an electrical device made SPECIFICALLY to shock things? Is it like one of those electric dog-collar deals where you're cooler if you can hold it longer?

Maybe it's just God cleaning out the gene pool?
