the problem seems to be to try to explain nonverbal understanding with words and non conceptual reality with concepts. concepts are like illusions within the illusion.

i had a couple of "cosmic consciousness" experiences when i was young, where i became one with universe and felt nothing but love. so i need no explanations when i come accross the spiritual principles that are taught in the various modalities. how can you tell someone what an apple tastes like? they will know by biting into it.

those experiences didn't make me a saint (too bad!). but i did get to see where i was going. so frustrating that this world is so far from that reality and so am i. i loved what david said about the wanderers having to put up with this hell when they are used to something much different.

i want to send that quote to someone close to me who is constantly talking about killing themselves (that was also me most of my life). i understand now why i was so attracted to the lifestyle i wanted but never got.

if we as wanderers or whatever are here to raise the consciousness of the planet, then lets do it. there is a question asked in the course, "how many people does it take to save the world?" the answer is, "only one." i understand that now.
