And all of this is triggered when we see that the Self of the Guru and our own Self are one: that in fact, there is only one Ego, only one "I AM."     ----What if one has many gurus? When we see that the Self of the Guru and our own Self are one, we also begin to see the all-too-human side of the Guru, and the feeling of being conned intensifies.     ----Not true at all. I have found the perfect guru, one who is very imperfect and readily admits it. This candor is so perfect that it really makes me happy. In all the time I have studied, this is the first guru who makes me happy, and he doesn't have mystical powers or anything else, he's merely human. And that is tremendous.     This is what Dr. Pete has referred to as the paradox of Brahman. Life is calling us to cease dividing Life into absolute-vs.-relative, light-vs.-dark, good-vs.-bad, divine-vs.-human (and even divine-vs.-demonic), me-vs.-not-me, inside-vs-outside, and so on. All opposites are melted and eventually resolved into a chaotic paradox: THAT, or the Indescribable. What we are being called to do at this point, is to cease judging -- cease judging others, but primarily to cease judging our own "flawed" human self. We have grown up, matured, realized that THAT alone IS.   ----Good point though. This imperfect guru I have talked about really creates wholeness for my mind by uniting duality, whereas the perfect gurus I have seen have enlivened duality by acting perfect which I am not. Oddly the imperfect is very perfect for me, like a loving spouse, who has an ugly thumb, whereas the idea of perfect leaves something to be desired, like a beautiful but stone cold bitch. Once we cease struggling against the process, cease resisting it, the suffering ceases, for the suffering is only a symptom of our clinging to our old attachments, an attempt to remain in the womb when the birthing contractions are forcing us out into a seemingly bare, cold, empty New World.   ----I never had many attachments, not having anything really of my own. I was bamboozled into thinking that I should be attached, but the more I tried, the more I found that I just don't have it in me. Besides, attachments aren't so bad, except when they contain viruses. Attachment to the body is good, because lack of attachment is death, so go figure.     But this "emptiness" appears only by virtue of our comparing it to all we have "lost" -- our old attachments; our old ignorance, our old identification with the small self. In truth, it is emptiFULL -- lively with Love and appreciation. We ARE the New World into which we are born, and it is rich and beautiful. How then can we lament the loss of the womb, when we have been given the World? We are twice-born; we are Brahman.   ----I don't lament the loss of the womb, even though I'm always trying to get back in. I was thinking about how beautiful the vagina is.  It has two sides and yet one opening, well actually it had two openings, or three if one considers the cervix. Yes, two become one become three. very deep. This is something I need to study further. The vagina as ultimate truth. I must go tell the wife. Thanks for the morning inspiration. Yes, I have left the womb and now find ultimate truth in its worship.  Thanks Ma. I have been tantrically twice born.  The earthly dakini and the heavenly are one. Now where is my morning nectar.
