On Need « Thread Started on Apr 17, 2007, 5:59am »
There may come a time when in one's life, one remembers that one does not need anything at all. This may only remains a concept until it is experienced. I, for one, used to be dependant on others for many years, thinking and fearing that if let alone I could not keep up with everything that was in my life, in my experience. I have discovered, to my surprise, that the hardest challenge for me so far, has made it possible to experience the absence of need. This is quite new to me and even if I still cling to others and to possessions at time...I not only know, but experience the joy of being whole unto myself. When this experience happens to one it can be strange at first. I wondered if I had become indifferent to others but realized that this was not so. What became clear is that I became present to the possibility of freedom for everyone as well as compassion for everyone.
It is so good to read what you have to say. I just finished listening to A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. So good. I do understand what you are saying. It has been such an interesting journey for me to watch myself weave in and out of emotions and states of consciousness. I am beginning to realize more and more that my own individual process is as much outside of myself ... in some respects, as watching a flower grow. I am understanding that there is a difference between indifference and detachment. The space that detachment creates for unconditional love is amazing ... and rather unexpected.
Thanks so much for all you do here. It has been so good for me, I look forward to further sharing.
So, I am honored by your words and yet I will also say that I am learning so much just by coming here and sharing of my poetry and soul with all of you...
I have known Eric since 2002...we met on Chopra's site and he was the one who got me to write in English. Eric has been my inspiration since then and my soulbro forever...He is Sonny to me!
We are both pleased to have all our friends here...and I am sure he would say...that we are honored to have you share your words here too!
I wish we could see what we are responding to... I knew what I wanted to say and then my computer got taken over, my kids.... I guess I want to acknowledge how wonderful and healing sharing is, I shared similar feelings with a post I made when I posted my daughters poem on Eric's blog.
I appreciate so much this opportunity to get to know you. It is such a blessing to have this community here, the sharing that takes place, and the resultant healing.
