I thought I\u2019d post this now because in the future I may be too forgetful, preoccupied, or disabled to do this. So (possibly way in advance): It was great, and now I\u2019m finished. Thanks for all you\u2019ve all done. Most of you have been friends who\u2019ve helped me. Admittedly, some few of you haven\u2019t liked me much, but my finally getting that and what it was about\u2014that helped me mature, too.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m tempted to cling, to whine. I\u2019m tempted to think that I\u2019m not finished, because there\u2019s just so much to acquire, learn, possess, achieve, etc. But it\u2019s hard to realize that this perception does not have to mean that I should feel guilty or insufficient, that I haven\u2019t lived enough, or that it\u2019s unfair that it\u2019s over. It just means that mind tends at times to transcend itself and what it can do. Or maybe that\u2019s my exuberance talking. <\/p>\n
And to the extent that one can see the more that could be, that, correctly interpreted, could be also a way to be kind to the less of what\u2019s part of me, the limitations of body-form. I should not feel guilty and ashamed that I cannot rise to the more I am able to glimpse that perhaps might be attained. I can\u2019t do it all and I\u2019m learning how to accept that. <\/p>\n
There are very few \u201cjnanis\u201d\u2014 the Yogic path of contemplation; my mind is closer to Parvati\u2019s sharing or multi-potentiality. Parvati focuses, brings shakti and prana to unfolding-nesss, brings form. The part of me that can see possibility glimpses Shiva, even if only in tiny part. Glimpsing has its own karma-dharma. Can I communicate this glimpse?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
