Sometimes Jim, sometimes not, sometimes past, sometimes here, sometimes there, sometimes future. Doesn't matter- One thing is for certain- there is a *lot* more freedom, whether I like it or not. Sometimes I revel in the infinite, and other times it is like falling continuously without end, and grabbing for a rope that is never there for long. It is incomprehensible intellectually and comprehensible only through being.
Tom T: Jed McKenna (a FF Ru using a pseudoname) wrote in his book Spiritual Enlightenment the Damndest THing. That one could charaterize the above feeling as "Free Fall Forever" and another awake friend said it is "all teflon all the way down" with absolutely nothing to cling to, attach to, or lean on. Now that really is incomprehensible by the mind but just fine with consciousness. Tom >> Is that the reason there are so many dysfunctional individuals in the movement or other similar spiritual groups, due to the fact that they can not "cling" to anything ? If so, what would McKenna or others advise to "resolve" it or better said smooth it in order that those who in that "free-fall forever" state can also be productive in what we call the "daily life"?
