Yes It Was!

And I'm surprised that I feel that way about it because normally I feel irritated when I listen to/watch him speak. LOL Pleasant surprise.

Friendliness to confusion is very important to me. Not only in myself but in my Teachers. I am constantly cycling between a confused and a clear State. I have been so conditioned to be afraid of being attacked for my confusion that I learned to witness it early. This has, unfortunately, never resulted in eliminating confusion, but it has resulted in a habit of looking at myself.

I also loved the way he described the tone and motive of the Student who questioned his Teacher while still holding the arising with compassion. That spoke volumes to me. What is needs space to be okay. I can hold some big space, but not infinite. It is the consciousness which can hold the infinity of what is that is the most precious and helpful. What I cannot hold with compassion, I cannot help. That which I can hold, I can help.

Which reminds me....
