as someone in middle management I feel compelled to reply...(actually just a convenient excuse):
How can we actually 'get rid' of anything? One of the toughest buy-ins regarding the experience of enlightenment is that we have to live *all possibilities*, whether we like it or not. The choice comes on whether to integrate unpleasant (and pleasant) experiences or not. This is the wisdom behind the saying 'take it easy, takes it as it comes'. Enlightenment opens the door but its up to us to walk in and get comfortable. --- In [email protected], "Llundrub" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: <snip> I don't think we get rid of these events or their gestalt. They live within us and they concatenate our mental event horizon beyond which there is merely unawareness. For instance. We are aware of something not because it exists but because it usually sticks out and snags our awareness. In my case there is the definite understanding of the transitory nature of life. The smaller ripple effects of my father's death have all been subsumed into that one larger wave. > > I often wish for the placid lake of timeless meandering to play around upon, like it seems many do. Because many do. Not everyone feels loss or great heartache, as Jim said. Though certainly many many do, if not most. Those who have never felt, become middle management.
