My favorite part is your realization that there is no one out there to do things for ...and how that made you feel drunk with Joy. It sounds like such a delicious moment. Also how Howard Roark said he had "nothing to forgive."

Irene and I love Howard Roark, and enjoy associating actions, behaviors, and things as "Roarkian." Gotta love Ayn Rand and The Fountainhead. Of course, the book is far better than the movie!

I seem to be finding many persons (all women, of late) who have had or are having such experiences. Since you are all in my dream, I know that I am getting closer to the same. I wait patiently for 'my time', knowing that I cannot be apart from any of you for even a moment. Thank you for leading the way in the seeming dream.

Thank you for sharing your incredible...Dear Aileen,<br />Thank you for sharing your incredible story. It is inspiring to read!! I,too am experiencing the freedom you speak of more and more each day. All the points of view (ego) rise and then pass like clouds in the sky when I see they have no power over me through my reliance on the clarity of awareness (Holy Spirit). I see that nothing has an independent source outside of awareness. As my suffering is ended and all my problems easily resolved, all that is left to do is be of benefit to others, all the while knowing there is nothing I need and nothing that needs to be fixed or changed because everything is already naturally perfect and there is no place where we are separate from anything. Therefore life is a complete joy. Even in intense grief I am in joy. This is what the Buddhists meant when they say pain is inevitable, suffering optional. All the points of view will continue to flow unpredictably. By allowing them to be as they are without trying to alter them or avoid them they rise and pass like clouds in the sky and tremendous power is released in which talents, gifts, and strengths we never knew we had rise to the surface and we are able to do things in the world that we used to think impossible. With the clarity of awareness all things are possible.

One of the ideas that became clear over the past week is that there is literally nothing to do except to find Joy in what you're doing in the moment. If that's not available, just observe how much you don't want to accept what is. Watching the ego will allow you to get in touch with the incredible fear that is associated with the thought of letting it go and eventually as you watch it and do nothing it will lose its grip. I see you, my friend. :o)Aileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13265636060898330804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175746386332003284.post-67753789576220242362010-04-05T12:02:54.083-07:002010-04-05T12:02:54.083-07:00Now I understand better what you said over the pho...Now I understand better what you said over the phone, I'm so happy for you!.

That is a huge relief. One of my worries last week was whether I'd be able to function in my roles. My mind is anything but normal though, but no one (except possibly for Scot) can tell. I think you would love the School. Next dates are in October.
