nice rant, best i've read in a while
My brother who calls himself the king of albion speaks the truth but it takes certain requirements being met to see that and accept it for what it is. He, like me, hides the truth with humour and satire of self and the world but with good intent, (I sincerely hope) so not at anyone directly, unless they bring it upon themselves by repeated abuses aimed at others. To my brother I send a gentle warning to be aware of the danger the pitfall of the primary error. I have done it myself, more often than I ever realised but, that's ok. We all make mistakes from time to time and if we accept our errors and correct them, it's all good.
To everyone I have some freely offered advice on how to calm and silence the mind to allow time for quiet reflection.
Learn to reflect upon what is being discussed here and to see the reflection, you will need to calm the mind until it stills like the moon and the stars on the calm, still water of a pool or lake. Cleanse, be silent, prepare a place for quiet relection. Be silent. And dismiss the cares of the world and the noise of the mind as it enters your mind. Acknowledge the thought and put it aside to be dealt with at another time. Yes it will be dealt with and yes, that is important. But now you need time to relax and be calm and be silent. Contemplate the scene above if it helps and consider what is real and what reflects the real but can be distorted. Allow yourself time, even to accept these words and consider them. *Very important - don't forget to breathe.
There are other ways to calm the mind but this method easy and simple.
Perhaps the time will be ready to discuss that soon?
You speak the truth and don't yet see it but it will happen when you are ready and when the time is right.
Don't forget to breathe.
[EDIT]If you find this sort of thing interesting, there's a more detailed explanation of this method on my blogpage, called Calming the Mind.[/EDIT]
