Perhaps now that we have seen our demons we can begin to tame them and actualize our Bhakti nature - extend our love to each other rather than indulge in 'cat-fights'.<br /><br />Love,<br />Janet B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-79183285720895401572012-01-20T13:17:53.915-08:002012-01-20T13:17:53.915-08:00I've always liked the passage below.

Would you say that making a firm distinction between love and knowledge is a sort of trap? <br /><br />"Atma is the Heart itself. Its manifestion is in the brain. ... The Yogis say that the current rising up to sahasrara (brain) ends there. That experience is not complete. For Jnana they must come to the Heart. Hridaya (Heart) is the Alpha and Omega." - Reflections on talk with Sri Ramana Maharshi<br /><br />AdamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-14523251735988478642012-01-19T22:31:21.433-08:002012-01-19T22:31:21.433-08:00for anyone curious about this story, the wanderlin...for anyone curious about this story, the wanderling talks about robert's meeting with ramana and his own encounters with him here:<br /><br />http://the-wanderling.com/adams.htmlRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413232543605646416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-67196104851805964852012-01-19T12:10:52.591-08:002012-01-19T12:10:52.591-08:00beautifully said janet b.

'we want him all to ourselves yoko, go away!'<br /><br />it's kind of a catch-22 though, isn't it? if yoko goes away, so with it goes john's inspiration and no more beautiful music.<br />hang around. i personally loved the 'cat-fights', tension. it's great fun. great fuel for the fire.<br /><br />come back to this wonderfully dysfunctional spritual family! hehehehehe<br /><br />if you think you can't grow in this environment, let me tell you a story about this guy named Jesus and his flock. betrayals, jealousies, suicides, crucifixion...<br /><br />it's a bloody mess this bhakti path.<br />we wouldn't have it any other way!johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817636191116872270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-69108369380751022672012-01-19T08:02:33.043-08:002012-01-19T08:02:33.043-08:00Mindblowing.

Surrender is such a mysterious thing....Dearest Ed,<br /><br />Surrender is such a mysterious thing. I met you almost one year ago and surrendered naturally. I loved you deeply and you returned my love multiplied. But soon many hated me. I became so afraid, so defended. Each time you told me how such and such person hated me I got into an argument with you and ran. I then slowly started losing my capacity to surrender to you. How perfect for I had to die to my desperate need for others’ approval and acceptance. I had to confront my deepest fear of rejection. Such terror. <br /><br />But you loved me and you taught me how to love myself. My goodness - such perfection. I am so indebted to you. I love you so much.<br /><br />You are my Beloved – Om Guru Om,<br />Janet B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27560333.post-74682852954855676102012-01-19T07:30:53.173-08:002012-01-19T07:30:53.173-08:00"I welcome you with all my heart..."
Th..."I welcome you with all my heart..."<br /><br />The division of 'jnani' and 'bhakta' is insane. It doesn't exist. Robert was full of love. Constantly talking about compassion, loving-kindness.

No separation yet devotion!how is it even possible! Its mysterious beyond words... It is the only thing, I am finding, that remains ultimately. More devoted now than I was when I needed you to cook me. Its all too mysterious to put in words and sweeter...<br /><br />RubyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
