Posted by Etznab Would love to share. Also, anyone in South Florida as well who would like to meet, let me know. There are groups also that we can share. The following is open to eveyone for sharing. I thought is was a particualrly good one in order to see that seperation or dualistic mode is just that no matter what the apparant form or position you take. Below is my response to a post on this nonduality list back in 3/19/2006 titled Clearmind - beware - bewarned: There is a form of perceptual seperation in your reaction to "bewarned" that becomes part of the dualistic seperative thinking as well. Opposite sides of the same coin. You have made what "bewarned" says real in your own minds and have given credence to this dualistic mode by pointing your finger at his/her "Wrongs". I am just pointing out a misperception here,..in defending your point of view about Duane, you have reinforced division. Things like, poor soul, hope you learn, or you must be a victim so i feel bad for you, are subtle forms of division and hierchy. Holier than thou. There is no heirchy in truth. I am not pointing my finger at you. Just clarifying some appearances. I sense that Duane is doing great work! I know that your intentions are well meaning. But please trancend the defense of what you know is true. Allow "bewarned" to be what she is and lovingly show that you do not buy into seperation "as example". Would you rather be right or happy? I am sure Duane, if he is a true loving being would agree with me. And if he does not, I am still the love that is my true state of being , regardless of what an apparant someone thinks. I am sorry if this apears to "You" as an attack. If so, it is in your own minds only. In truth, we are all doing good work. Apparant diversions from that are just illusion anyway. Sometimes there are certain veils we do not see. And perhaps it is only in an instant reaction to something only. And that is OK. You are not wrong!! You are what is true and that is all that will be stated to you. Nothing personal about you that needs to be changed. Just sharing freedom!! Blessings. Lets all see what is true together, lovingly and also that there was never any seperation to begin with. So that oneness or togetherness is simply an expression of what we already are! We do not need to try to get along. We are in truth whole and from that wholeness, we naturally get along and do not even see different views on things as a 'Problem". Thankyou for listening to yourself. I am you. You are me. Nobody here to correct you. Just some facts being stated. Thankyou and continue to do great things!! I can see how it can touch a nerve when you know someone is doing good work in your own mind and someone appears to attack that. (Thats how wars start - internal and external) However... Simply, be love always, saying someone has hurt is sort of a subtle underhanded attack back and perhaps you are also subtely saying... "I" the one that "knows" will heal you. There is seperation there too, believe it or not. I believe the Course in Miracles calls that the unhealed healer. That hierchy, need not be. Please do not percieve this as an attack either. One can reduce anything in there own mind to see it as they choose. Then we get into a war of opinions on whose intepretation is right. A spiritual division in and of itself. Even what I say a about you guys and "bewarned". So best to stop right here. We know enough to gravitate toward teachings like ACIM. Blessings again to us all!! What is, is regardless of what we say to prove it. We know that in our own hearts. That is the freedom that always is, regardless of appearances. No need to prove. Blessings and the greatest love to you that I Know you are and you are extending and sharing. Thankyou for your devotion to things of this nature. One more thing - no body can hurt any body in truth - it is all just images bouncing up against each other. So this is for bewarned in particular. Yes, perhaps there is a place for telling people if a group seems harmful or seperative on this level of reality that we apparantly exist. Perhaps that is the most loving thing to do. But who could say who is right or wrong. People just have to see for themselves (thier apparant selves) but lets remember to always see it from pure truth first, even an apparant bad group if it so appears to be that way cannot do harm to you in truth. Yet, I thankyou for the loving intention anyway. It can be helpful or not ...who knows? Best to stick with what we know that surpasses all opiions and that is that no one can be hurt in truth. Then if we choose to give warning within the illusion...so be it. WARNINGS WITH LOVE AND CLARIFICATION would be the way I would apparantly choose. Well, thankyou for hearing me out. I do not pretend that all I say is perfect at least within the illusion. Hope there are some pointers here. Blessings again!! P.S. Ask Duane what he thinks of this. It would be interesting and enlightening to see his response!!! Also, this is for "beware" to read as well - not in defense of any positions!! Etznab
