Itā€™s a Long Process to Awakening Intellectually

“Everything about being yourself is that if you donā€™t honor that definition, thereā€™s no differentiation. So, there are a huge amount of humans who are simply just overwhelmed. And theyā€™re walking around ignorant, ignorant in the deepest way. Let alone that half of them, itā€™s not even half, itā€™s one aspect, itā€™s all unconsciousā€” lost souls; a planet full of lost souls. The first thing you do is you put their vehicle on the right path. And then you begin this laborious process of awakening them intellectually.

Think about your own processes, think about the depth of this knowledge because many of you, I know, have gone very deep and have been in this quite some time. There are still aspects within you, as you go through your process that are unsure about this or that. There are still conflicts daily with your mind trying to step in. There are still times where you forget that your mind has just told you what to do and youā€™re doing it. It is quite something to understand this impact. Itā€™s so profound.

The only thing that it does for us is realign us over and over again to the basics of maintaining, not simply the formula, but really pursuing at the intellectual level deeper and deeper and deeper until you get to those places where each point is another point of surrender because thatā€™s what itā€™s about. The passenger is almost insatiable. One never knows; you can feed the passenger the truth and it will go as far as it can go, and not always does the truth lead to awareness. Knowledge is not power. But it is certainly a way in which the being finally has a language to be able to identify the negative forces in their process.

The moment that you can understand those negative forces, you can smell them when they show up. You can smell them; theyā€™re there, instantly. Itā€™s what I love so much about the maya. Itā€™s such an incredible thing. The moment that you describe it, you can access it. Itā€™s sort of a cosmic four-dimensional or nine-dimensional Google. You write it in and there it is, full-blooded and whole. Itā€™s incredible.” – Ra Uru Hu

“For what reason, I don’t know”

careful to not blame or claim things that are yours to reflection and amplification too easily, as many do, do

you emote, you feel, sense, you breathe, you laugh, you cry, etc šŸ˜‰

all yours, even while among other people/auras

if you would have 0 activations, so no gates, then maybe yes, you might be all reflection, but you have up to 26 activations yourself, they (inter)act šŸ˜‰

The Transits are like the weather, we do not become the rain, we get wet.

But more so, there is no Root in the Transits, only people and objects can have centers, but nothing actually gets defined, it is just a graphic representation of said energies, but there are no floating centers anywhere in space or something. So the root is not open, or ever defined, in the Transits. Only people that get born now or in 88-ish days get these transits as their imprints, defined (activated at least)

Also, effects is always 1+1, so you plus said energy/transit = perceived result/experience.

And then (yes there is more) even if born the exact same day and time, transit energies can have a very different effect on each individual, because we are, unique individuals.

Space/uni-bi-verse itself might have centers?

I guess

Iā€™m fed up with all the psychological issues of people, not with HD, but how people need psychological and often emotional assistance (and a cuddle or fuck), but then go to/through all these modalities, so called self help journey into some form of psychology spirituality, when they actually, or also need psychological assistance. Like I need it now, after trying to help and support myself and so so very many people for 15 whole years (last friday) through HD.

Iā€™m pooped, Iā€™m wasted, I donā€™t have the stamina anymore, or at least this is how I perceive it šŸ˜‰

The horrific stories I have heard and listened to, trying to support people with, pfffrf, I canā€™t take it anymore. Many of you/me/we/us are fucking crazy!

weirdo: “Hey man , i noticed your comment on one of the human design posts about resources to learn and all , i was wondering if you have any of ra uru hu courses and you can share them with me , iā€™m not interested in becoming certified nor i can pay for the material (third world country we make like 1 dollar an hour or something) i just want to learn and listen to courses / audiobooks from ra uru himself and apply them to myself to live my design and become who i truly am , if you can help it would be highly appreciated”

MoonBlog 41.2 caution

I guess, Iā€™m seeing 3 ‘levels’

1. how we behave from the mind/not-self in the 7 centered world as if we are 7 centered. Some parts are self, inescapably, yet most is a huge exaggeration of that which we are not. References to the HD chart are usually/mostly a mis interpretation, just mind trying to make a non solvable puzzle fit/stick. If you push this button, you get this result. The land of psychology and being unhinged.

2. how HD describes us according to our chart, after at least 7 years deconditioning, at least, obliterating/annihilating ‘level’ 1. A new baseline of interacting with the world. If you push this button, we donā€™t know what the results will be, yet stability?

3. just living S&A (and sometimes not), in part even transcending ‘level’ 2, which then becomes information but not truth and simply doesnā€™t fucking matter anymore as you can simply be, dualistically yourself, in all kinds of colors and shapes and movement and behaviour, untethered. As an observable result, but nothing to strive for or manipulate towards.
Fuck any button pushing, complete irrelevance.

Tense past

Today the feeling has passed somewhat, but over the last weeks, if not months I get this incredible sense of depression, when I think about how we are living on this Earth. How societies operate, that we all need to make some money to live, and most of people, just barely scrape by.

Does not matter if you live in France, or in Thailand, USA, the Congo, Morocco. This notion of humanity and evolution and technological advances, hampered, and interrupted, by this constant need for just the basic needs, barely. Again and again and again.

How even if here in the Netherlands, almost everyone got a 10 percent increase/raise, it was called for cause the prices had already increased by more. Even if everyone would get say 200-400 bucks a month more, the market would immediately adjust for sucking up the difference.
It is, however unintentional, rigged.

Of course this was triggered by my own shaky financial situation, which is now a bit more stable once again, but as a Reflector looking at yours; my friends, my loved ones, my network and far far beyond, I feel really fucking down and depressed.

Wanted to let you know, somehow, I see and it hurts.

“Thereā€™s a moon tracker for reflectors that shows them how their design changes with the moon cycle.”

no one’s design changes by Transits, its all just external influence. It’s just wrong to word it like that. People, including Reflectors, believe the weirdest shit about their chart and HD.

Besides, the Reflectors sampling experience is about -all- 64 Gates, not only when on the surface of the map, this Transit connects to that activation and forms a -temporary conditioning channel-.

For instance, I don’t have Gate 30 activated, nor Gate 41, but it can have an incredibly deep affect on me. But when Gate 10 is in the Transits, forming a temporary conditioning channel to my 20, nothing, not a thing. Yet everyone is running wild about how it should, would, could affect me.

This is why journaling your factual experience and perception is key. Not staring at some colors on a piece of paper and pretending it is this, or that.

I did a thing today

I deleted my Reflector Sessions webpage and blog access, Reflector Sessions Facebook page and its linked Baffo Instagram page

I no longer wish to be that ā€˜advertorialā€™ or using these as identifiers, of me, of what it is to be me.
It just does not matter (anymore) in this format or way.

I might rejuvenate the website with my MoonBlogs and the 2 Reflector pages, but as Sjef, not as some identity called ā€˜Reflector Sessionsā€™.

MoonBlog 51.5

[edit] from 3422 to 0, back to 267 873 posts on blog now

an appearance, an identity, it weighed on me to keep it up or maintaining it as such. People are looking for (a) structured support, and I was providing that in this way. Seeking things to be businesses, schools, ā€˜professionalsā€™, with registrations and certifications, tax deductible formats and whatever else.

But Iā€™m just me, and thatā€™s fine/enough.

If I do this now…

to observe the mind, through my undefined Root center with no activations.

ā€œIf I do this now, then it is done, I donā€™t have to focus or worry about it anymore.ā€

Mind, is doing all of that, both, the worrying and the not worrying, the false pretense in both situations.

Why does it worry so much about stuff anyways, whether done or not done. As it needs, seeks to park stuff, done ā†’ ok
not done ā†’ worry, or at least throw it in front of the minds/eye often enough.

Sure I donā€™t mind completing things/tasks, but this ego/mind seeks to do so only so it can let go of it, as it holds on to outcomes and progression, tallying, measuring, comparing. Control issues much?

Line 6 M13 Stompbox Modeler

Line 6 kennen we ondertussen al jaren als een bedrijf dat steeds kwaliteit levert, en om de zoveel tijd een nieuw product lanceert dat de rest van de digitale wereld weer op achtervolgen zet. De nieuwe M13 Stompbox Modeler is niet echt een nieuw product, maar eerder een samenvatting van hun gekende prestaties. De immens populaire stompbox- reeks, bestaande uit de DM4, DL4, MM4 en FM4 (drive-, delay, modulation- en filtermodeling), wordt namelijk in deze enkele multi-fx gepropt. Benieuwd of men de kwaliteit en gebruiksvriendelijkheid van deze gekende units heeft kunnen behouden!

ALGEMEEN
Concept
Het concept achter de meeste Line 6-producten is ondertussen wel gekend: je neemt een aantal klassieke effecten of versterkers, en gaat deze zo dicht mogelijk benaderen via digitale technologie. Deze aanpak is ondertussen zo wijd verspreid, dat het bijna makkelijk wordt om te vergeten dat Line 6 een ware pionier is als het aankomt op deze digitale technologie. Voor de M13 biedt men dus een multi-fx pedaal die volledig werkt als een pedalboard met losse effecten. Je kan dus de effecten apart instellen en onafhankelijk van elkaar in- en uitschakelen. Daarnaast zijn er ook nog enkele extra functies, zoals de looper.

Vormgeving
Op dit vlak laat Line 6 zelden of nooit steken vallen, en ook ditmaal is de styling een schot in de roos. De combinatie van de zwarte behuizing en de gechromeerde knoppen en beschermranden geeft een zeer stoer uiterlijk. De verschillende units zijn duidelijk onderverdeeld, en aan de hand van een makkelijk te volgen kleurencodering (zie verder) kan je alles uit elkaar houden.

Handleiding
Ook hier is Line 6 een voorbeeld voor zowat alle ander merken. De handleiding is, zoals steeds, overzichtelijk en zeer informatief, maar weet tegelijk toch een humoristische ondertoon te houden. Je krijgt twee verschillende handleidingen: een voor de exacte werking van het toestel, en een tweede handleiding met alle info over de verschillende gemodeleerde effecten.

Personal Health Syndrome (PHS)

In HD conversations, there seems to be this notion of, when you live your design, and when you apply your PHS then you will be healthiest.

But there are nuances, as always, just not in the conversations.

Recently my doctor emailed she’s going with her pension, and I’ve been with her since the beginning, 33 years ago. And before my Saturn return I’ve seen her maybe 5-6 times in about 11 years, of which I was abroad for 3 years. Since on the roof, about 5-6 times also in a period of 20 years, and since my kiron Return just 4 years ago, already a dozen times.

Something has definitely changed

And in my PHS reading, I was told and then reminded multiple times: ‘the mutation is not always successful” & “this roof phase is the healthiest for you, it will change”

So, yeah.

Ik: Beste mensen van VideoFrank,
Ik heb betaald voor een pakketzending van 7,95 maar wordt nu verstuurd als brievenbuspakket van 4,95
Krijg ik nu ā‚¬3,- terug?

Frank: Beste Sjef,

Van het factuurbedrag van 13.20 blijft na aftrek btw 10,91 over. De verzendkosten voor ons zijn 4.15 euro. De inkoopkosten zijn 4 x 0,83 = 3.32 euro. De ideal (paypal commisie) transactiekosten zijn 0,10 euro.
De paypal kosten zijn 0,80 euro. Het doosje kost 0,33 euro. Het printen van de pakbon is 4 cent. Adreslabel 3 cent. Dan blijft er nog 1.26 euro over. Daar moet ik dan een webshop van draaien, gas, water, licht, verzekeringen, transport naar PostNL afhaalpunt, en nog wel een paar dingetjes.
Ik vind dat je loopt te zeiken. Ja, natuurlijk, ik had het in een pakket kunnen doen, maar het is klein. Ik probeer alleen maar praktisch te zijn, hoef je niet thuis te zijn, enz.
Ik doe godverdomme altijd mijn best om prijzen laag te houden, de spullen netjes te versturen, en nog wel meer. Dat er soms bestellingen tussen zitten die me feitelijk meer kosten dan het oplevert, neem ik voor lief. Dus ik zal je die 3 euro retourneren. Ben jij ook weer blij. Daar gaat het tenslotte om.
Blije klanten. Hoe ik me erbij voel is minder belangrijk.

Frank.

Ik: Als het (alleen) in een pakket gaat betaal ik daar prima 7,95 voor
Ik kon hier op de website niet voor kiezen, het werd automatisch een pakket, dus daar heb ik voor betaald.
Maar als het wel als brievenbuspakje verstuurd wordt terwijl ik er meer voor betaal, klopt dat niet.
Als je vind dat ik loop te zeiken moet je geen bedrijf runnen, want of al je energie en kosten zijn gedekt in de prijzen die je rekent, of niet. Dat vervolgens een ander kwalijk nemen dat je zelf je eigen kosten en moeite niet dekt, dat is zeiken en afschuiven op anderen voor je eigen tekortkomingen.
Want je zegt dat je iets voor lief neemt, maar dit doe je helemaal niet!
De emotionele lading en feitelijke schaamte die je op mij projecteert kun je of voor in meditatie of misschien met een therapeut praten.
Fijne dag!

Frank: Ach flikker toch op.

looking for (what?), with experienced HD people as co-creators?

to connect, wherever you want?

there is a movement? what is this movement, what does it do, and what does it want by sending this message?

HD is for Kids! eeeeh yeah, ok

currently 15 participating, participating what, this vague movement, the thing today, what are they participating (with)?

we (is who, is what?) hope to become even more international.[heart] eeeehhh ja is that the goal of this message?

I’ve never seen a more hollow, phraseology filled message.
There is nothing to hook into, as it is super vague, and the sentences make no sense. Or it is simply very bad English?

Human Design statistics

people sharing this (old) link talking about the differences with http://www.jovianarchive.com/Statistics bla

https://medium.com/@RulezKT/human-design-statistics-part-1-c88f7075538c

Making a chart every second is kinda nice, instead of per minute as others do.
but… -how many- people are born -per second- is not included.

If at one second 10 manifestors are born but at another second 100 Reflectors, it’s all off again šŸ˜‰

Becoming your design, or not

“You see, the public will be able to take advantage of design. That’s not the same as becoming your design. Don’t think for a moment that any popularization of Human Design is going to bring about everyone who is interested in that to this kind of level of recognition and understanding.

They’ll take advantage of the techniques that are revealed through Type and design, but that’s something quite different than living it, seven years out of your life. And the only way in which we grow is that we have to be in communion with those who also are aware of their design.” -Ra Uru Hu

And then there were two

“This whole trip about finding oneness is a seven-centered trip. I teach you how to find your duality, how to come to grips with the fact that you are not a oneness, thatā€™s the illusion.

Youā€™re a ā€˜this and that.ā€™ Youā€™re a personality and a design. And in order to be correct someone has to surrender, which is the personality.” – Ra Uru Hu

Who is driving?

In HD we know the terminology of the Magnetic Monopole being the driver
and for me, especially after having done the 4 Transformations year training, I can see the concept of Driver, Vehicle and Passenger so much better.

But also, to see, who else is driving, all these variants of my mind. Wearing different hats.

When sex is driving
when money is driving
or the drive for money is, driving.

When need for recognition
for compliments
for acknowledgment
for likes
for pleasure
for good food
feel good
to feel better, is driving

with their little hats (ā€¦ whatever šŸ˜‰ ), and driving gloves, all purrdy and neatly dressed, up.
For driving.

The ego/mind, driving, for ego, for ego/mind. As an expression of itself, driving. Not the magnetic monopole driving, no. The ego/mind, almost like someone with Alzheimersā€™, doing something they did in the past, and ending up in the weirdest places, only to be brought home, by the cops.

It is such a show, such a drama, dramatic expression. Of ego/mind all dressed up, for driving, and then actually drive, completely out of place, yet driving as if it was correct. ā€˜Fake it till you make itā€™.

Oh and that it does šŸ˜€

chemistry

“We take drugs to change our moods. How easy it isā€” weā€™ve got all kinds of receptors in the brain for endorphins that will immediately give us a chemistry that makes us feel good. And you have to see that the chemistry that makes you pessimistic, the chemistry that gives you this terrible feeling that’s all it is, is a chemistry.

One of my biggest things about trying to awaken the Personality is to remind you that the vehicle operates as a chemical thing, that the experiences of this or that, the up and down, the good mood and bad mood, the upset and not upset, and the melancholy and the not, it’s all just chemistry; nothing more, nothing less. But that chemistryā€”the whole thing about operating correctly through your Strategy and your Authority is that you align, you balance this chemistry. And that you don’t distort it so that you’re moving more towards the pessimistic or more towards the other side.” ~Ra Uru Hu

Germanium Transistors

For the Aion FX Radian Germanium Boost diy kit

  • OC-44:
    hFE=66
    Ic=.73mA
    Ube=147mV
    ICEO=46uA
    ICEs=4uA
  • OC-125:
    hFE=89
    Ic=1.3mA
    Ube=137mV
    ICEO=.35mA
    ICEs=14uA

The Radian Germanium Boost is an adaptation of the Rangemaster Treble Booster produced by Dallas Musical Ltd. of London beginning in 1965. (Dallas would later merge with Arbiter Electronics to form Dallas-Arbiter, best known for the Fuzz Face.)

The Rangemaster was originally designed to add treble content to somewhat dark British amplifiers such as the Vox AC30, but it took on a life of its own in the hands of Brian May, Tony Iommi, Rory Gallagher, and several other highly-regarded guitarists of that era.

The original Rangemaster was not actually a pedal, but rather a freestanding unit that was intended to sit on top of the amplifier. Bypass was done via a slide switch on the front of the unit, so it wasnā€™t practical to turn it on and off while playing, and it was used as an always-on tone enhancer.

The Radian is a pedal conversion of the Rangemaster with one big enhancement: a voltage inverter has been added which allows it to be powered with a standard center-negative adapter while maintaining the positive-ground operation of the original. The PCB also includes a biasing trim pot so you can dial in a perfect bias without having to swap out resistors.

The other enhancement is a ā€œRangeā€ toggle switch that lets you choose between a treble boost, mid boost, or full-range boost. The treble-boost effect in this circuit is achieved by first cutting low frequencies, then boosting the whole signal so that the lows are restored to normal and the treble frequencies are emphasized. This toggle switch lowers the low-frequency cutoff point so that less of the signal is cut and more is boosted.

Projected Attitude: Abdicator

(from ā€˜Profile and Type Referenceā€™)

I enjoy being an Abdicator (Profiling Gate of the 4th Line), so very often in my life Iā€™ve been ā€˜promised the worldā€™ by criminals, by teachers, by lovers. And oh so many times, I just said no. It was not for me, and I walked away or moved on. And then looking back on those situations, what if, I had said yes? And I chuckle, cause Iā€™m so glad I simply did not šŸ™‚

Criminals, proposing working together and ā€˜do stuff with diamonds and passportsā€™ and ā€˜Iā€™ll come live with youā€™ and I just goā€¦ neeeeh. Shacking my head šŸ™‚

In the GeneKeys, where the American LLC, who tried to take over the show after RR had sex with one of them, where grooming me to become a ā€˜certified Guideā€™, and I just laughed and told them, you ainā€™t got that capacity to do so, there is nothing there in your offer, it is hollow, and left/moved on.

My Advaita Vedanta teacher, saying, ā€œyouā€™re so close to realization, and then you can teach othersā€. She was grooming me, to be a non duality teacher, to become ā€˜one of themā€™. And when I look at Adyashanti teaching this stuff, talking about things, I realize, I would never want to sit in a chair and talk about life before, talk about the horrors of the mind and how to look at it differently so you can wake up. Not in a non duality way anyways. I mean, doesnā€™t he have hobbies? Is this the end result of ā€˜enlightenmentā€™ā€¦? Neeeeh šŸ™‚

A lover who wanted to work together teaching HD, using the 64 material ways to doā€¦ yeah what exactly I wasnā€™t sure, I had never read or listened to the material, and when I tried, I was seriously put off by it. And the pussy wasnā€™t that good either (no offense, but I mean, the relationship was not of equals) but, these promises just donā€™t work on me, unless, it is correct -for me-. There is no way to seduce me unless it IS seducing, to ME šŸ™‚

The new Reflector organization that is being ā€˜madeā€™, to be asked to be part of the tip of the spear is nice and all, but I just donā€™t have the energy, or desire, the drive, the be part of that tip. Once it runs, sure I may show up and be part of its structure, and be of service to the other, maybe.

Iā€™m so happy that I walked away and moved on, and just do whatever the fuck I want, through my PHS Tone, my individual creativity. And use S&A when others are involved, but they so rarely are, itā€™s just me and my Tone.

I have no need for the groomers, I have no need to even use S&A on them, I abdicate. And that makes me smile, when I look at the mud they seem to be plunged into. Sticky mud, using so much energy to maintain the ā€˜thingā€™, and I could see, it was just not for me.

Is it time to return to Innocence?

Is it time to return to Innocence?

SOLAR TRANSIT
Gate 25, Spirit of the Self – Innocence
March 18 – 23

Following last weekā€™s transit through the Gate of Crisis, the Sun is now entering into an energy of the higher self. Its role is to point you toward your true nature. Itā€™s an opportunity to return to innocence.

And, itā€™s fitting that the Vernal or Spring Equinox occurs during the time of this transit ā€¦ a time when the dark and light are nearly equally balanced.

Those who possess a pure heart are best guided by their instincts and intuition.

Innocence implies a natural harmlessness, openness and pure intention that isnā€™t contaminated by ulterior motives.

Beauty can then emerge from an innocent heart that remains open to joy and wonder. Innocence, when guided by a conviction to what is right, can bring supreme success.

The hallmark of innocence is a willingness to treat all creatures with compassion and respect.

This innocence isnā€™t designed to bring love into the world in any specific way, but rather to love without discrimination.

The mystical potential of this type of love is transcendent and universal.

And, your spiritā€™s innocence is constantly being tested. You can meet these challenges from life like a spiritual warrior, fired up and ready to compete for your true nature (spirit) no matter what you encounter.

Thinking too much may sever the link with the guidance that comes from your inner truth.

The grounding energy is Determination or Pushing Upward. Reminding you that when you let go of expectations, you can find yourself in the right place at the right time.

So, if you trust in perfect timing can you love the perfection in every experience ā€“ good or bad?

There can be magic in trusting your natural responses to take you through this journey called life ā€¦ in perfect timing.

Can you be sensitive AND determined?

Will you bend, but not break when obstacles or challenges arise?

As you remain tolerant and flexible, you can retain the conscious innocence that fuels growth and evolution.

A beautiful balance awaits.

Spring can be such a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can truly be.

Love Yourself,
Ruth Brennan

If we’re not to live by the energies of the Transits, but by our S&A, why are these snippets written as if we do? There is no ‘returning to innocence’ unless we live (out) the Transits. The information about the energy only applies if imprinted with it, and even then only as a potential. How they show up as a Transit in our lives, with each of us as the active filtering agent, remains to be seen.

Reply by Ruth Brennan:
“These are contemplations of the potential energy through my lens and each of us filter them, or not, through our own designs ?”

Besides we are not here to let go of the Personality (side), just not make our decisions with our Mind.

In my last article, I wrote of the Native American spiritual path of the Sacred Warrior. To Native Americans, the path of the Sacred Clown is ALSO considered a spiritual calling, essential to the smooth functioning of the tribe:

In the days before the invaders came. . .we had clowns. Not clowns like you see now, with round red noses and baggy costumes. Our clowns wore all kinds of stuff. Anythinā€™ they felt like, they wore. And they didnā€™t just come out once in a while to act silly and make people laugh, our clowns were with us all the time, as important to the village as the chief, or the shaman, or the dancers, or the poets.1

Most every tribe had their Clowns. The Oglala and Lakota called them Heyoka (ā€œcrazyā€), the Arapaho called them Ha Hawkan (ā€œholy idiotā€), and both peoples considered them religious specialists. The Salish people honor the memory of a Clown who (not so long ago) challenged a missionary. The missionary was enticing people to come to his church by handing out little mirrors to them while urging them to cover their bodies with white folksā€™ clothes. It is told with a smile that the Clown (a woman!) walked into the church one Sunday wearing nothing but a hat and old shoes! Read the book to find out what happened!2

The Hopis protected their Sacred Clowns by incorporating them into their Katchina (ā€œCloud spiritā€) ceremonies where the Clowns make a hilarious entrance from a roof, descending a rope ladder into the plaza where the Katchinas are dancing. ā€œLook down there!ā€ they exclaim, ā€œEverything is bountiful and beautiful!ā€ Their descent is very precarious, usually head-first, and causes much laughter as they tumble over each other and fall the last few feet. They do not see the Katchinas until they bump into them, and then they say ā€œThis is MINE!ā€ or ā€œThis many are MINE!ā€ They act silly, childish, greedy, selfish, and lewd. As they pretend to become aware of their surroundings, they mock tourists, anthropologists, neighboring Indians, even themselves! They beg for food. Their guessing games and balancing acts please the crowds. The dancing Clowns sometimes pretend they are invisible, heightening the joke.3

The survival of these ritual clowns gives us a clue as to how important a Clown was to the community-spirit of each Native American tribe. Nothing was sacred to a Sacred Clown. She was a social critic of the highest order. Her funny mimicry and joking exposed hypocrisy and arrogance. Her portrayals of ridiculous behavior showed the people (in a very humorous way) their own foolishness and blind-spots. ā€œA clown was like a newspaper, or a magazine, or one of those people who write an article to tell you if a book or a movie is worth botherinā€™ with. They made comment on everythinā€™, every day, all the time. If a clown thought that what the tribal council was gettinā€™ ready to do was foolish, why the clown would just show up at the council and imitate every move every one of the leaders made. Only the clown would imitate it in such a way every little wart on that person would show, every hole in their idea would suddenly look real big.ā€

How Can it Happen?

Somebody asked me a question recently, about what is meant by the term enlightenment or awakening? and so I thought I would say something about this as there is so much misunderstanding about it.

Many of us went either physically or intellectually to the east, to hear about enlightenment or awakening or liberation, to india, japan, china, tibet, thailand and so on. And these cultures are of course, by comparison with western culture, extraordinary exotic and as a result many people, myself included, conflated the idea of enlightenment or awakening with the extraordinary exotic natures of these cultures, believing that enlightenment itself is something extraordinary or exotic. That it is a marvelous experience beyond any experience that we could possibly imagine and as a result we set up a, a goal to um experience this marvelous experience that we have heard about or read about. Nothing could be further from the truth, enlightenment or awakening is not an extraordinary exotic experience, indeed it is not an experience at all, it is simply the recognition of the nature of our being which underlies and indeed pervades all experience irrespective of its content and it is for this reason that I sometimes refer to this approach as a way of recognition, recognition meaning of course to to know again, something that we have always known but have overlooked or ignored or forgotten.

So what is it that we have overlooked or ignored? It is simply our being our essential self.
Why have we ignored it or overlooked it? Simply because we have become fascinated with the content of our experience.
