Thanks for ...Hey Sister K, thanks for chiming in. Thanks for sharing the sentiments and images. As the world spins and races through space, I have a renewed wonder for the Earth's gravity and the vastness of our Heart/Mind Connection the Infinite Space. Embracing both bring me a great sense of gratitude and peace.<br /><br />And yes, I enjoy that emergence of the Teachers and Teachings in those mind moments as well as they emerge and dissolve. <br /><br />Then, at times, there are less welcome characters as well. One of the Lojong Practices addresses the "unannounced whacks" of the more challenging or disturbing emotional energies that may suddenly emerge. In the Tibetan tradition they speak of the "dons", which are the less than pleasant "spirits" (evidently remnants of the pre-Buddhist Bon religion). We are advised to "make offerings" to them as well, valuing there ability to shake our complacency and instill deeper humility and compassion. <br /><br />Again, thanks for your comments here and elsewhere. <br />One Love,<br />Lance<br /><3 Lance Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18174480565578669357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5650114323461268088.post-44919512800745965872018-06-03T15:57:49.696-04:002018-06-03T15:57:49.696-04:00I get quesy with that 1000 mph sensation too.
I li...I get quesy with that 1000 mph sensation too.<br />I like your playful way of sharing your pt of view...and the WHACK! seems hysterically funny from the ease & quiet safety from the chair I now sit. Sometimes a pop up picture appears in my minds eye with audio of the Dalai Lama smiling and laughing, of Echardt Tolle’s laughter surfacing through him like it does & also Pema Chodron. I too feel that delicious giggle at times and I’m grateful for this....those unannounced whacks can be so challenging. :)KDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875258344812435027noreply@blogger.com
