Hi Terrie. If you have any interesting ideas or questions, I would love to enquire into them with you and others on this list.
I would like to comment on one part of your satire. I am not asking anyone to follow me. Please don't follow me or anyone else. Try to verify physical reality as it is. This means that each individual needs to first verify himself, as he is, in present time. It is a simple act of impartial self-observation, with the physical body recorded from a point outside it as it is walking around.No one is going to do this because I say so, as it is against nature for such an impartial recording to occur. It is artificial and it is Work. A person will only do this if it makes sense to do so, as it is not as easy and pleasant as eating ice cream.
Nothing about having a relationship with me on this list needs to involve trust, as I am not telling anyone to believe in anything (though I know there is a Santa Claus, I also am learning how to dissolve him and "myself" before it is too late).
If I say I am qualified to speak for Madame Blavatsky, maybe I am grandiose because I have very low self-esteem, and am suffering deeply, so I have to build myself up. Actually though, my hunch is that there at least one person on here who actually is beginning to understand I am capable of taking over where she left off. He may be wrong or he may be right. Who is to say or know? The point is to use all material actively, so it does not use you. This is the beginning of growing up and having a mature soul. A acorn is not the same as a mighty oak. Some seeds do not germinate. Some do. That is why I say, take your little salt shaker with you when you read my material, and if you add just the right amount, you may discover a certain kind of very sustaining food, maybe even soul food.
Also, this is a bulletin board format.. Everyone tries to fit in, as they want group approval. This dumbs down a list and then there is no chance to take a big leap. Do not be afraid to speak your feelings to me (as you have been.) I personally like it. You are not hurting my feelings, and you have already told me I am not hurting yours, so nothing bad will happen. It is a learning experience, for me, at least, and maybe for us all. If I am trying your patience, I am sorry. It is not intentional. I forgot all about you when I wrote my most recent messages, but after reading your satire, I remembered you again. Sincerely, Wry
If you would like to come out here and talk some more about books you like to read, this time I will not comment negatively. I like Frank Sinatra and have all his recorded music. but never listen to it as it is in the form of records and I am too lazy to put a record on the turntable, but this year I am going to have a Frank Sinatra Christmas and am very excited about this. Also, I have mentioned in the past that I am filled with awe and wonder that I have been alive on this earth at the same time as Krishnamurti, but I forgot to mention that I am also glad there is jazz, especially bebop. Glad I got this off my chest. and at least I did not hurt anyone's feelings. I hope this contributes to there not being a nuclear war. Sincerely, Wry
