Re: Ready to let go

Hello albanygal,

Re: Standing and knocking at the gate.

Dear Elizabeth,
how it was before
I took this to mean before deconstructing the separate entity, the ME or I.
I was totally run by my thoughts and my feelings. I was a total "Drama Queen". I mean "What is life, if it is not all of the experiences, filtered through my thoughts, to sort out the ...

Re: Standing and knocking at the gate.

Hi Elizabeth,
What is an I and where has it been? :-)
This 'I' that I have believed myself to be is now seen to be an illusion. A mirage which I have held to be real for the past 54 years. A concept created by thoughts and words that the 'I' believed to be real. These were perpetuated by what was ...
