dear joe..i like the basement ..i like the wine cellar however can it be called the pit?... merle
Dear Merle, Our practice does not result in an acquirement. It results in a loss. When we lose all, we are in the basement. We are below the foundation of all things. It's a good place. It is the ground of our Humanity, and of all beings, and all things. There is nothing dizzying (nor claustrophobic) about it. I call it a wine-cellar because "basement" alone sounds spartan. It is not spartan. It is richly appointed. I was not taught this analogy, no: This is Joe talking. Many people will know what I mean, or may have used a similar analogy themselves, and can instantly recognize the meaning. --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > i see joe... > > is that what YOU were taught?..the wine- cellar scenario? > there are teachers and teachers... and more teachers.. > again i ask who is the teacher and who is the student? > did not many a musical genius start his career in the basement to climb to > the top of the dizzy heights? > merle
