The Journal of Rula Shin Sunday, January 25
01/25/2004 09:54 a.m.
So it's 4:45 am on Saturday and I'm shuffling through libraries. People have raw and beautiful thoughts. I love how a poem is a picuture into the mind of the writer, as all art tends to be...I must be very very tired, but I'm on my 3rd wing...no worries, I can last a bit longer, maybe to 5? Steve just went upstairs to bed, he's been reading for hours. I, well I did some cleaning...and some projecting hahahaha! But seriously I think it worked for a few moments anyway. In the beginning, when I actually thought of my goal, (to slow down time), I ended up slowing my physical motions instead. I realized this was wrong, backwards. So I just looked at what I was doing as I was doing it. I looked at my gloved hands and how they moved over the dishes, I saw the running water in all the angles it was hitting the plates....and then I did something weird, for a moment. I looked at what I was doing and thought about myself thinking about and looking at what I was doing...whew, it was a strange feeling, kind of like looking straight into a mirror for too long...you begin to question the origin of your existence and question whether the face you see before you is truly your own face...the real question is, how has this cleaning experience made my life better...?
I am currently Detached
I am listening to silence

They are subject to all kind of external stimuli's. Secondly, we might observe that every movement of ours is habitual. And thirdly, this helps our various centres to function as they are supposed to, resulting into conservation of energies. This also brings us face to face. And this conflict leads us to oneness, within. One can not attain WILL without attaining oneness, within. And oneness cannot be attained without a real conflict, within. Ascertain that you do not focus. Just remain aware of within as well as without, missing nothing. This is how we as a self conscious beings are supposed to BE.All the best. |

I know the feeling of falling through dimensions... and that is good to see how life is not one-dimensional, that it has many facets to it... That very falling will give you insights. |
