There is nothing you can do with your problems but make them worse…cuz there is no problem. There is only something you went out and touched and defined as a problem…otherwise you are aware of the unfolding of the universe. You can do that…It is not renunciation and it is not controlling or taking . It is just remaining in the seat of conscious awareness, permitting creation to pass through you, in you and around you and you are fully participating in it but you are neither there or not there.

What I wouldn't do to be able to sit down and have a conversation with this man.
I have never been one for small talk...never felt comfortable with it ...always looked for something "more" in conversations. Like lets talk about something important or nothing at all. I am usually pretty quiet when others are talking. I don't express or often share what is really going on in my mind unless it is really important. But a lot of the "important" things...like my awakening...I know, would not be considered that "important" to others. It would be misunderstood and deemed more than a little "woo-woo". So I often don't share unless someone asks directly on certain subjects I had thought about a lot. That doesn't happen very often. That is why I like coming here and why I like public speaking (and why I am pretty good at it). I can share all I kept inside for so long...what I feel really matters.
T There are few out there that I can have a heartfelt conversation about Life with. Not that they are not wise, just that they think differently than I do. Most would and maybe do think I am crazier than a bag of hammers lol. I think it would take someone as woo-woo as I am to get me or a very, very enlightened being that could see through all the crap on the surface.
So I often imagine or dream about talking to these "wise ones" . I dream about and imagine talking to people like the Buddha, like Christ, like Lao Tzu or Socrates ( or any of the successive trio: Plato and Aristotle would do in a pinch) ...talking to great thinkers like Spinoza, Blaise Pascal, Michelangelo, Uell S. Anderson and Albert Einstein. ( I would really like to speak to Albert Einstein...not about numbers or physics...oh no...but just about Life). And then there are poets that have inspired me with their insightful wisdom that I would love to have a cup of tea with...Shakespeare, of course, Also Rumi, Kahlil Gibran, Tagore, Longfellow, Emerson , Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Emily Dickinson....( and many, many more).
II would also love to have a conversation with Thich Nhat Hanh or Wayne Dyer if they were still around; Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Tara Brach, Joseph Goldstein and Jack Kornfield ( yeah...I think Jack would be a cool person to talk to), would be good to converse with.
B So many...but...right now...I am thinking the way I think and see the world is very much aligned with the way Michael A. Singer thinks and sees the world. Everything he says just hits me a certain way and I find myself saying, "Yes! Yes! Yes!" It would be so cool to just be able to have a chit chat with him. I learned so much already...his approach has opened me up so much already ...but I imagine there is so much more I could learn.
Anyway...Someday Life may steer me in that direction or maybe it won't...who knows. Regardless, I will continue to come here and to work on the speaking and writing about this stuff. And I will continue having the greatest conversations with all these wise people (who do not judge me as just cra-cra lol)...in my dreams.
All is well.
