Another Angle on Self-Remembering

In a response to Marci at Evolutionary Dynamics, I wrote the following which I realized half way through that it was based on SELF-REMEMBERING and is the reason I'm including it in this blog.

LOL, It's a glass half full period is it?  I was just reminded of the lethality of nicotene, either by tobacco or vape.  I still have a friend who smokes but I won't allow it in my space, however; I have that conversation about whether I'm still enabling hin to KILL HIMSELF.  Why people cannot break out of whatever circular logic as you describe with plain FACTS not only mystifies me but makes me want to pound head against wall, cause it might not be so painful as this.Everything positive in my life except my wonderful mother has come about through education.  I second the whole theory regarding the danger of division in which the opposite is seen as some kind of threat instead of a shadow aspect of a positive proposition.


Your fait accompli that God will sort it all out is the ultimate bypass isn't it?  Anytime we defer clarity from this moment because we cannot endure the suffering it inevitably brings with it is when your litany of bypasses finds expression.  But tell me what do you replace this NEED we have, that we have grown up endoctrinated in, to have someone fix us?

My very question expresses its overwhelming presence and pressure on our little selves.


FACT is we are not destroyed however.  I like to use the word bypass because it connotes a lost opportunity more than anything.
FACT  Knowing that I don't know is a far more empowering place to be than confused and not knowing that I don't know.


Still, if followed up with a bypass, that always puts our possibilities in reset mode.  Somewhere, somehow we have to be able to take charge of remembering our predicament enough to take that context out into the world.  Thanks for the engaging chat here sister. It is bizarre though with a little examination on how the most popular walk on the talk of God is to destroy thy neighbor or at a minimum put her in somekind of cage of one kind or another.  Which leads me to the positive half full measure in which we do have the possibility of evolution in moments of self-transcendence when we embrace and absolve our other by conscious creative open-heartedness which brings all of one's attention into the timeless now.  The moment we fail to remember this, that opens the half empty door of awful.


Our bodhisattvas desire to transform and enlighten the masses from such ignorance, and for all the glory of that ambition, I have watched you all fail for decades now. Even new communities based on sustainability will fail without a more structured basis formed to promote conscious evolution in its basic education.

Deida said, "Freefalling in the Mystery is sexy if you are working for something huge, greater than yourself."  I suppose this points to why these "cults" get so much traction from the masses, sex sells.
