What emotional state do you feel most affected by?
What happens when you experience this emotion? How do you deal with it? Is it bothersome for you? Is it something you rely on or enjoy? Can you share a practice that helps you examine or transmute it?
Prior to my ILP; I think just the whole pain of being human, and just the 'insanity' of the self-inflicted pain of our own culture; drove me insane, and I think it drove me to 'nirvana'; an utter detachment from all in the world; feeling it; but being detached from it; and much of the pain; lurking in the shadows as well.. So I'm very much grateful for Wilber, Roshi and the ILP and especially Bill Harris, who, w/o him, I would never have found II; etc..
And now, with my practice.. with the meditation, with the knowledge, with the shadow practices and body practices as well... and an unceasing INTENTION to face it all (Andrew Cohen); I'm finding myself slowly but surely able to take steps back into this 'sinful world' or samsara.. and face it with the love of God, or the perfection of nirvana...
GREAT to hear from you; sorry for the delayed response =). Yes.. there are others =).. It's all about ILP; I worked out with my buddy the other day; gotta get in the gross exercises as well... and just day to day activities.. as for Bill Harris.. I think he's awesome; his Blog posts are great too; actually; w/o Bill; I would have never bumped into Wilber and/or Genpo...
As for the pain and suffering and lack of other ppl; I'm working on that; 2nd tier right.. gotta love them all; 1st tier and everything.....
Cheers and Happy New Year.. to you and to everyone else =)
