After 21 years I guess? its imperative to keep searching out new tools... <BR/>I am glad you have found another tool, I always get excited when I find one... and to explain it initially is always hard, its easier when its been used a few times.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I find a tool or another way of using an existing one and it seems like I have been given a new lease of life!! Newcomer moments... priceless :)<BR/><BR/>Be gentle with your Spiritual pride... no need to be gutted... enjoy being joyful and enthusiastic for your discovery, its good to read it when it comes across :)<BR/><BR/>have a good weekend and thanks for all your comments/suggestions, dont stop!johnohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10340689357666450129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29205162.post-58194994200624902832008-09-12T16:30:00.000+01:002008-09-12T16:30:00.000+01:00I obviously have a lot to learn.

And I don't get involved in dramas but some of this is still hard to understand much less put into action.

Each time I see something a new way, I'm a little bit gutted I didn't notice it before. <BR/>but yeah. That film is great too, but I haven't watched it all yet.

Of late, I have had glimpses of the awareness behind the thoughts - i SEE them or hear them or whatever and sense there is SOMETHING else. i can't explain it. i sorta 'get' things like this sometimes then other times, i can't find the info in the brain or something. it's like - the wiring was fine yesterday but today - it's been tripped and i can't 'see' clearly.<BR/><BR/>oh well - i tried to explain something i don't understand it seems. bleck! i get it and then, well, not so much. ah well.<BR/><BR/>have a good one.mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08596253451843404461noreply@blogger.com
