To: [log in to unmask] Date: Monday, 24 August, 2009, 11:07 PM Mams, You are ever so close to Harunasilo, it scares me. There are a few detours though that I wnt you to jettison: 1. Cut the unconditional crap out. Love or hatred make sure you have good reason for either. Wanton anything is what landed you in the cluelessness you find yourself in. You don't want to uconditionally accept yourself. Trust me, you don't. Others' unconditional love of you cannot heal you of anything. It encourages blissful ignorance and untethered l istlessness. 2. Humans are not the most wounded. We have self-inflicted wounds but we are not the most woundd. And we are not the most harmful. ALthough not mutually excluive, one does not necessarily yield the other. 3. Nature is not a thr party to make mature men and women out of us. We are part and parcel of nature, in whatever sense you imply. 4. It is not our birthright to become whole and complete. It may be a desire of some of us. And it is foolhardy quest. We are part of a whole and we are cmplete onto ourselves. Think of Concentric rings. Each ring an ecosystem. Don't ebark on endless journeys. You will forever find yourself wanting in circumstance. Quit listening to Ron and RIchard. 5. Throw away your entire third paragraph. It sounds high-falutin' but it is severely conflicted. 0A 6. I guess the"doorway to heaven" is the metaphorical self discovery you alluded to. If not, can paragraph 4 for the same reasns as in 5 above. 7. I like your last paragraph. How you got there through the previous 4 paragraphs is anybody's guess but its good, I like it. Now go away. Harunamo. -----Original Message----- From: Edie Sidibeh <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Mon, Aug 24, 2009 8:47 am Subject: Re: Shame to be naked / correction. A NEW PATH FOR HARUINER Possibly, with our ability for abstract thinking and self-reflection, we human beings are nature孫s most complex, wondrous, and sophisticated creatures, the very apex of all creation. Also, perhaps we are the most wounded and therefore the most harmful creatures to our ecology. If there is any hope for this planet, nature needs to figure out how to make mature men and women out of us and guide us to fulfilling our birthright, that of becoming whole and complete. This might not only stop damage to our environment, but might put us in constructive harmony with it. The goal of the spiritual journey is not to become saved, perfect, or even good, it is to become integrated. The only way to become "whole" and to tap into o ur core energy and feel fully alive, is to withdraw the projections we put onto others and become one with ourselves, at ease with ourselves. As we learn to unconditionally accept the other(s) in our lives, then we become able to unconditionally accept ourselves. As we are healed by the unconditional love of another, we become energized to fulfill our dreams and our potential as mature adults and our creativity will abound unfettered by our childhood wounds. Hopefully this is an attainable goal. I am very aware that other theorists believe that suffering and anguish is often the dynamic that nourishes creativity, and that we would not have a Van Gogh or a Nietzsche without their pain. But imagine what these men could have given the world if their early wounds had been healed and their creativity not fettered by their pain. Healing, wholeness, and integration of the psyche are an attainable goal. It may take five or ten years of conscious work with a committed intimate partner, but it is attainable in this lifetime. Possibly our dreams and visions of eternal bliss are not about some future day in heaven, but are memories, memories of the original blissful essence with which we enter this world. It is our original wholeness that our psyches yearn for. We dream of re-finding ourselves and of re-becoming who we truly are. Sadly, most of us manage only to get periodic glimpses, tiny tastes of who we really are, and when we do it is indeed exhilarating. But alas, the "doorway to heave n" swings shut, and we become lost once again in the search. To make room for the "other" as being equally worthy and deserving of our total respect, to transcend our fear of the others with whom we share this planet starting with our intimate partner, to honour their existence without fearing our own annihilation, this is the spiritual journey into maturity.
