Smash the Mirror

Pete Townshend's music and lyrics reflect an incredible insight into the plight and the ultimate victory of the seeker spirit. In my estimation he is a sage of the highest order. He clearly had a meaningful experience while associating with Meher Baba. "Smash the Mirror" (one of the hilites from "Tommy") is his not-so-cryptic allegory of the ego's identification with the material body. And awakening destroys that false image and all that is left is the Consciousness which is experience Itself.-- The Witnessing Presence. No "self" is perceived. Perception without conditioned filters of self. A fundamental Truth is revealed. Healing.

Ahh I feel so beautiful... my ego is indeed become impotent as you said.

I find myself getting angry... but the weird thing is, I don't condemn someone for me getting angry.. and I dont stay angry.

And I dont hurt them :)

I emphasize with them...

Someone at work was boasting about herself and a group at school bullying and pestering someone from school... and this is a touchy subject for me.

That kid, me, it was bullied, and no one touches the kid.

No one.

Hehe :P

Love you man.

@WhiteWolf1088 A hundred thousand years of human inner-turmoil isn't going to vanish so easily. What is important is to realize that you are not that turmoil--you are the witness to it, if and when it occurs. Look at Jesus' position on the cross. Wide open to slings and arrows because Our true identity is infinite and invulnerable. The crucifixion is an allegory for projection, nothing more.

@WhiteWolf1088 Re/ Bullies. There are only two modes of interpreting behaviour in others: They are either expressing love, or they are expressing a CALL for love. Bullies are expressing a call for love.

@TadRapidly Hmm that makes a lot of sense. I will put that to practice, the call for love thing.

And yes, I don't let it define my day. It is but a moment, and it is fleeting.

Thank you :)

Got my copy of the Course today btw.. looking forward to reading it :)

Love
