I think many of us feel this way. Of course you can open yourself to some subtle ridicule here, but I have felt this way, I think pretty much all my life. > On Oct 24, 2011, at 9:44 PM, seventhray1 wrote: > > > > > Mark, > > > > I can relate to how you feel in many ways. One thing I have noticed is that financial worries can really put a crimper on things. I mean you may be healthy. You may have some degree of refined awareness. You may generally have a good dispostion. But when you have to confront financial issues, it can bring you down. > > > > But let me also say, my daughter is reading Julies Caesar for her ninth grade lit class and we are having fun comparing notes.

You do surprise me. So many emails, so much mind-stuff, so little life force/time seemingly left in/to me. Maybe that will change. Maybe I'll finally free myself of these would-be rakshasa parasites (and/or my very own debilitating conditioning/ego-mind) and learn to revel in (FF)L again. I really do seem to feel like Grey's "Despair" character all too much of the time. (Sorry for the maudlin self-pity. Though there is a bit of that here, just, also, trying to tell it like it is.) Part of me thinks I need to refind my deep discipline and do an intense "cave experience," working on all aspects of my being again (let's call it some kind of neo-rounding), or, perhaps, throw myself into sacred activism, a la Andrew Harvey. But also, I can't help but directly feel the something rotten in the state of the world/me/the world's pain right down to the roots of my soul and the totality of my viscera. It almost always seems to have been that way, and still is, for me, though maybe I continually romanticize and self-perpetuate this as well. Hmm, wonder why I'm dumping/wallowing/spilling my guts like this in this public forum at this time in my/world history. Ah self-indulgence, self-centeredness, the me generation--might some of us be beyond inclusion?

I actually might give it a few more days, or even more. No promises on this one. Some good things have been coming through lately. I loved that Eisenstein article. A good friend tried to get me to go see him when he was here in Santa Fe, but I wasn't able to at the time, due to that job I finally got myself fired from. > > > > > > > > > > On Oct 23, 2011, at 9:31 PM, seventhray1 wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hey Mark, I like your posting here, but didn't you forget to tell us when you'd be unsubscribing again.
