Hello my friends.
I've had a rest period lately. To quote Laitos:
My armour of light is diminished in these periods though, and I am very susceptible to negative greetings/attacks. I feel them deep in my very being, the negativity bursting out in situations where I remember myself being completely calm and loving. I remember the feelings so deeply, yet I cannot achieve it, for something is in the way - likely myself. Meditation mostly removes these barriers from myself, and protects me.
But I am still spiritually exhausted, and it doesn't take long before the attacks continue.
airwaves: I am currently trying to love my partner and my closest friends as much as possible, thinking of them very often and sending positive intention. I suppose you are right, but I rather send love to All. Perhaps I'll change my mind in time. Love and harmony to you, my dear other-self.
ubergud: I thank you for your reply. "the joy of the experience" is an important subject, to simply Be and enjoy the moment. For the moment is all that exists, and the illusion of all 'different' moments may be reached from this moment.
I am attempting to quiet my intellect more and more. This seems to be a constructive path, although it does lead to some erratic behaviour since I let my mind run free without restraint.
New moments are indeed wonderful, the mystery and the adventure. Imagine infinity. Infinite discoveries, joy and love. My mind melts at the mere thought.
Peace and Joy as you desire it also, my dear friend.
Be well.

Quote:This rest period is very necessary to the seeker. It is not something to be despised or to bring sadness. It is like the breath. The breath must exit in order to re-enter. If we may again use an analogy, as this instrument is fond of doing, we would say it is like the striking of the axe against the tree. It is much harder to cut down a tree if one places the blade of the axe against the tree and pushes with all one’s might. It is much more effective to swing the blade back and not have any contact with the tree before the blade then swings forward and hits the tree with fervour.
