hi eugene,
could you say a bit more about that above.. ?
cheers candlelight xxxx
We as souls sit in our armchairs around a fire sipping coffee and discussing things about life on earth.
"Hmm anger and frustration. Now theres a thing to experience. And forgiveness, remember that?" "Forgiveness? I'm not sure I know the feeling. "
"Oh you havent felt forgiveness yet? Let's go. Hmm don't clean my pipe out guys I'll smoke it just now when we return. Im going to smite this one quickly and give her the opportunity to forgive me so she can know what its like."
Ok so we go into the ongoing illusion that we created to experience all these things and we quickly have a life on earth with all its diversities and then we return. "What a blast!!" "Yeah pretty cool dont you think? I also took the opportunity to have some poverty there for a while and to lose a child. Now I know those too."
We can think of it all we like but this is the plane of experience. We can experience it only here. But eventually we are all back home and from that place, this life is only a moment in time. A quick pause.
The eternal you is like the wind, neither here nor there. Sometimes you dip into an emotional argument or a fight and then you move out again, back into the everything. The issness. You choose the intesity of your emotions because they are just expereinces to you. Just a game. You can choose to have them or not.
You can also choose not to be able to choose them. Well I think so anyway when I listen to others.Many people say their emotions run them but I think they haven't tried to choose other emotions yet. So maybe they chose the experience of emotional helplessness. But I found that when you realize its all an illusion you can relax and have peace in any moment.
You can ask yourself if it matters wether you are dead or alive. I often say to people. "You can drop dead over lunch and the world will continue." You really don't have to invest all your emotion and commitment to this illusion. My boys will have another experience of life when I die over lunch, but they will survive. They are not dependant on me being alive. My client will call someone else. My maid will find a job elsewhere.
I really have no reason to get upset over anything. And when I feel joy? Well good. I like joy. It can remain.
