Re: Lapis :re: "reality"

the idea of "manipulating reality at will"
is I think, still a very egoic idea.

manipulating...hmm yeah. LIke pulling flowers out of air? Creating perfume on unscented flowers? Having a good day?

Still a parlour trick
to impress the impoverished, I fear. Sorry to be so blunt.

What is "reality"?

Is one free of

"filters" enough to say?

I recognize that I shape (have shaped) reality--react and respond to triggers...but am a long way to giving that totally up--or maybe not. The point is, I *see* it--whereas years ago I blithely and happily meditated ( or believedI did) and believed ideas of freedom were the same As...

NO awake being I've met(and I've witnessed some precious + realized beings)
ever had an interest in "manipulating reality"

that's nothing! I can almost hear the laughter.


Pacifying the mind though--small m, and recognizing Mind
large M
now that would be something.

I have more stories too--funny "reality" stories, but, another time.
Dog (I am caring for) and I must go to sleep.
