Ironic as that would still be a learn/teaching from you! Aha I appreciate that though.

If the former then the beauty of arrogance, if the latter the wisdom of humility. Oh i'm just f&%#*@^ with ya I'd teach you how to juggle
Aha! The beauty of arrogance is indeed something I struggle with, as I feel I used to be very arrogant (and in plenty of ways I still am) but it was not what I wanted to be identified with and so I think I went to the opposite extreme. A good lesson for me to ponder aha
Also, can you actually juggle? I would like to learn to juggle! Aha

Without duplicity what is there?
Here both pain and mystery are born as we come to discover that it never ends and never began, and we will never be one again. But we can try, ever so valiantly.
So my advice is.. Be Yourself!
And that there is only service to the Creator, but there is also something about 'conscious service', faith, indigo to violet.
Peace and love!
I take from this the need to have faith in myself so I will be comfortable being purely myself as I am, once again a good lesson for me to work with, especially as lately I have been having difficulties communicating with my own personality it seems.

Teach? Not possible…
Inspire; perhaps =)
Embrace the happin-ess that is happening no matter what we think. Even negative thoughts are a form of happiness, that’s the nature of all that is happening... If it happens, there is the probable happin-ess no more no less, no need for overinflated stress.
"don’t take life so seriously, it´s just an expression"
Disease is your ally
Death is your friend
There is goodness
around every bend
Take what you need
leave the rest
on these words; you will not be given a test
or will you?
better study hard!
Just in case
perhaps encoded
you will find divine grace
or remember your happy Place
Aha A very good reminder to take myself and my experience lightly, which I something I also have difficulities with at times because I am such an intense introvert. Sometimes you just gotta let go and go with the flow!
Also reminds me of something I read by Hazrat Inayat Khan where he said the heart does not care whether or not it feels happiness or joy, as long as it is feeling it will be open and healthy and full.

I gotta get my blue ray wide open, that is for sure, and has been the center I think I have struggled with the very most. I have a lot I want to share but I admit I am often fearful as to how it will play out. I have hurt people by throwing "teachings" around in a manner that others were not conducive to or comfortable with and I have had some strong inhibitions in recent times towards openly sharing from my being and this leads me in to...

This lesson right here aha I admit, it is my pride that causes me to want to change and shape my communications and perceptions so they are "acceptable" to others around me and I take pride in my ability to accomodate others and create a comfortable experience, but there are many times, and this is true for my experience with you GR, where I have altered my behaviours and communication away from my heart and deepest self so that others will not be in discomfort by my presence and manner of expression.
I admit though, I am not sure if you are saying I need to open up and be myself more, or if you are pointing towards my issues with pride aha
Thanks everyone, these are many good lessons and all relevant to me at this point in time. I am asking for help, but this is also an experiment in "ask and you shall receive" and I believe I have so much I can learn from others but it is a resource that I am not fully making use of. I want to try to experience the beliefs and ideas of others more because I feel it will help me to stabilize my own thoughts.
Also, I find it interesting what each individual uniquely offers in service to the other self who calls, it says something about each one! A beautiful thread this is, thanks everyone, much love to you all.
