That state of bliss you're in now, is called, The Ring.
It's humility, emptiness, graciousness, and godliness.
What I'm going to attempt to do now is to give you tools to go from one altered state of being to the next. It's to allow you to be equanimous and non-judgmental, the way Ghandi or monks would be.
Read the next part slowly, and repeat the process if you think you didn't get into it well enough.
Now, consider this. Go back in time to realize just how far along the journey you've gone. Disregarding the sinking feeling you got over the last few days, look at only your gains, how you were able to go on the hero's journey with so little fear and come out with your simple goal - personal transformation. Unto itself, this is good. And to have been able to do it, you needed, hahaha, listen carefully ... you needed ... ego.
Ego was necessary to help you climb the hierarchy of needs. Your problem now is that you are somewhere near the higher hierarchies where ego is the last thing you want. After achieving physiological means, security, belongingness, esteem, an self-actualization, the steps all around us are trying to achieve, there is self-transcendence. How utterly insane is it that the moment you actualize your identity, your I AM, that you are supposed to transcend it? Crazy, noh? But, that's the path of the infinite light trapped within limitations. There is always something more.
Now, go back to the self that has achieved a big personal transformation ... you ... and look at yourself from both ends. At your back is a trail of blood, laughter, sweat, tears and happiness. Look in front of you now. There is a vastness of nothing. An unknown. It is scary. And it is good. The path isn't set yet. It's up to you to create it.
Now look back again. Just at the last few months. Consider the many gains you were able to take. The impossible tasks you were able to do on the personal level. Now look at yourself today. How you judge yourself immensely. How empty you feel right now. Considering that your body and mind is nonethless cleansed of all the past two years of slowly getting into purging more and more.
The lesson for this month is - how to get back up again. It's not to do just with this week. It's your whole life. and your whole lifetimes. Confucious said, it matters not how we fall. Falling is something we cannot avoid. It is inevitable. What matters is how well you get back up again. Over history, the men and women who've changed the Earth are those who fell, and weren't afraid to fall again. This is how people deepen. It is the stern stuff of spirituality. Without the Dark Night, there will be no centering, solitude, and thus, God.
Now, go back to the fact that your body will be clean, despite the fact that you've been on cooked food for days. It is your mind, your judgement that makes you think it's a garbage dump already despite that it's much healthier than anyone else's in your circle of friends.
This is where you draw the line between ego and non-ego. It is how you perfect the state of non-judgement. The place where there is no success or failure. No doing and non-doing. No you or me. The state of Is-ness.
Now, given all this, I am going to task you. It is the best thing. You ought not just fall flat and feel flat. You've advanced so much, to do so is to waste your valuable energy for re-creating this Earth to which you are committed to. You need a practical commitment to this, not a vague thing of floating again. You've already done that for many decades. The time has come to put your money where your mouth is.
Go back to your projects, then. Go back to your house and your dedication to give it to the students.
Scratch your initial document you sent, the one you knew would have burned you out immensely. Start from scratch. Come out with a 1 or 2-pager plan to bring me, Daniw, Robin, Nina and Marwin where you and I can handle the students using the core values and the processes we ourselves have undergone. Just create it, and I'll back it. How can we bring young people into basic goodness by going back to the Earth Her. How to listen and speak to her, bring the bond back between humanity and the nature spirits. Without pomp and complexity, make it the simplest possible plan possible, but with great effect. Don't forget that Joe's target are the out of school kids. Let's work together with BIND on this.
I'll be the one to polish it, and call Joe to stamp it to finality.
I don't want you to get into anything that will waste your valuable beautiful energy. You're at your BEST when you're just your kid yet spiritual self. Just be that. Leave the semantics and the work to the universe. Your job is to be in the most wonderful and simplest state. That is the role of anyone bearing The Ring.
Lastly, don't get back up too soon. Your mission is to perfect the ability to keep the dying, the cleansed part you feel now, as you keep surging back to the world. Got it? Get back to work, godammit! Hahahaha.
Love.
