Theos-Talk Archives (April 2003 Message tt00042)

Dear wry, nothing *horrible* happened to you, it never happened and never
will. It is all in the realm of imagination - you will drop the body sooner
or later, so, where the horrors are? All gone. The only real thing is the
quality of your heart. Your Beloved resides in your heart. He is always
there, will never go, no matter what. Just give Him a good morning kiss, He
will wake up and kiss you back, and lo and behold, all your *horrors* will
vanish. Etzion

seconds with your whole self to maintain or bring into existence a perfect
balance, besides thinking "balance," which thought perhaps contributes to a
further imbalance (or does it?)

> I don't know if I mentioned it, but something horrible is going on in my
personal life and I will never be the same again. I have had to take the
next step, which is so simple. If only I had known before. Being a body is
about existing in many dimensions, whereas thought is sort of flat. I
believe it is important to make a distinction between mechanical thought and
creative thought or the ability to wish. I notice people do not do this and
that they talk about creative thought as if it is a faculty they have
control over and are living by. Of course, when I think (mechanically) about
it, or talk about it, it is going to appear that at that moment it is
functioning as an operating principle, as I am aligned in this direction,
but this is not the same as being fully intelligent and creative, but merely
coinciding with this for a brief interval? What do you think? Wry

> p.s. What brought me down was my biggest character flaw which was that I
frequently perceived others to be perceiving on a much more developed level
than they were, and also perceived that they were perceiving what I
perceived, which means I was idealizing and is a form of magical thinking.
When I did this, I was not able to appropriately correlate my responses to
an exact enough degree in certain instances and was basically too trusting.
I have probably, almost certainly, done this on here, too. Something really
horrible has happened to me. The only thing that is getting me through this
is realizing that it is the fruit of my own karma. It also helped that I had
several hours of teaching on the subject of slander (which I thought at the
time was very boring) right before this happened. The key point, as I have
mentioned on here previously, is that people tend to get very upset when
they are slandered, but not that upset when others are slandered. It did
not, unfortunately, so into h

> Recently (two days ago) I have experienced a Buddhist teaching that so
was extraordinary as to have given me a new sense of meaning and
perspective. Though I am not able to give this teaching out here, I will try
to write about how this was transmitted to me through the vehicle of
allegory. I can never thank enough or repay the human beings who have
enabled me to learn to decipher allegorical teaching, which can be given in
many various and peculiar styles, depending on the culture and also
particular personal style. I have been and will continue to share with you
what I have learned in this respect, and maybe we can begin to look at the
work of Madame Blavatsky and see if and how she used this particular device.
