... so my question to the assembled group here is what
would you want someone else to know about the "four lines"? |
| ompen: |
That the "habits" are built in the life and
not a birthright |
| Guest 9: |
They are a tool for navigating the bardo: ron |
| Gordita: |
They are true |
| bashoo: |
True is good. So for navigating the bardo, how do you
use that now? |
| p&d: |
Gratitudinously impartial presence and attention is
part of the habits |
| Guest 9: |
That our patterns of repulsion and attraction form an
identity pattern. tm |
| Gordita: |
That neither attraction nor repulsion matters |
| bashoo: |
Yes, our attractions and repulsions certainly are part
of our ordinary identity |
| cy: |
Realizing that "reality" is relative live the
truth of the circumstance without attachment to out come |
| bashoo: |
My habits will carry me through... |
| Gordita: |
That sudden moves are not helpful |
| bashoo: |
I'm sure we've all been burnt by those! Otherwise, i
wouldn't be where i am today... |
| Gordita: |
And that personal or intellectual development is
bardo0ically useless... |
| p&d: |
No sudden moves like a floating recliner |
| bashoo: |
Not even any real decisions about our lives |
| Gordita: |
To get anywhere without sudden moves, you have to be
REAL persisitent |
| bashoo: |
One focus |
| Guest 9: |
It becomes moving by intent of being rather then machne
action. non linear, non plot line. |
| bashoo: |
We think there's a plot line (i do) or that someone's
plotting it (i hope) |
| Guest 9: |
But being 'here' reminds us it's not/ or they're not. |
| Gordita: |
All phenomena is illusion- not just the bad stuff- |
| bashoo: |
Yes, the good stuff is really the trap... |
| cy: |
Patient with self and all else, not trying to make
things happen is necessary |
