3. Gr. The gratitude is good but I need to look a little beyond what I am appreciating that I am not builiding boxes around those I appreciate
2. TGT. An absolutely beautiful morning to remember that being alive is enough but I might want to do some exploration too.
1. Weeeellllll. Interesting thoughts passing through over the night. It seemed fairly peaceful dream-wise. I awoke at one point with Adams Rubble sitting on a cushion in Play as being but try as I could, I could not remember what was being said.
I realized what set off my discomfort of the past couple of days. I was reading a very powerful book, partly as an exploration. Events taking place while I was reading shifted my focus and I found myself strongly empathizing with both roles, but…. one of the roles reflects my own role and all the pain and joys of living it. There were no answers…only more questions. It is a bit like during a very controlled experiment but it quickly getting out of control and you are forced to question not only the whole hypothesis but the value of exploration.
At the same time a powerful message is how our roles are shaped for us. It has become a bit more apparent how far-reaching this is. It is so easy to become a victim of the wrong information passed down to us. Our teachers are too often “malpractitioners” themselves. Or maybe we pick the wrong message from all they tell us.
I began to think of the role teachers play in handing down information in terms of the ancient writers. As we do more exploration in our own lives, and as we begin to understand, or “know”, we can look back and see others have experienced that too. That message is often mixed with other metaphors or teachings of the time so the message is not in pure form. When we know, the language is beautiful and poetical and we are doubly enriched. When we read those writings without our own experience, then we are forced to choose what is relevant; it is easy to pick up the wrong message or emphasis from those writings.
