Edgar,
Thank you.
And, right! This is why some others of your unfortunate poisonous
(straightenable!) bent don't appreciate other such music, either, hundreds of
years after the old geezers died, such as the music of Bach, or Locatelli, or
Tallis.
Only the latest scrapings in front of the bulldozer blade will do!
You're on a fast-burn, and leaving a contrail.
I can just picture you in your hip-hop lifestyle, there in your steel-frame
domicile, and gangsta suit.
Peddling antiquities.
Not a pretty picture you paint, or figure you cut.
Absolve it all! Take Bill!'s compassionate advice about beginning a serious
practice, come to awakening, and BEcome some kind of Human being in the time
remaining.
The sun also rises, but hasn't yet on your Buddha Nature.
The house is made of steel, and is oxidizing.
This whole world of samsara is on fire. Cancel your subscription to it, but
come back to teach after awakening. You could be good.
Teacher and sangha should be what your Personals Ad should be pleading for,
instead. "Desperately Seeking Sangha... and Shih-fu".
Yes, listen "to what Reality is saying".
(I didn't say "your" reality. We can hear that over HERE).
Wishes!,
--Joe
