Words of Wisdom for Awareness and Relationships 2008-07-08T21:42:12Z http://timeoutfortruth.com/comments/atom.aspx Quick Blog tag:timeoutfortruth.com,2008-07-04:1170178 Jeanne 2008-07-04T16:58:40Z 2008-07-04T11:18:50Z THE WORK IDEAS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND IT IS TEMPTING ,FOR ME ANYWAY,TO SHUT MYSELF UP IN A ROOM WITH MANY VOLUMES OF WORK RELATED BOOKS, AND WORSE, TO CONFUSE WHAT I'M READING WITH WHAT I AM.
FORTUNATELY, MY FAMILY AND MY JOB MAKE DOING THOSE TWO THINGS DIFFICULT.
I HAVE ABUNDANT OPPORTUNITY,AND NEED, TO PUT WORK TEACHING TO PRACTICAL USE.
AT THE MOMENT, I'M ALSO READING TOM RUSSELL'S BOOK SuperWisdom, WHICH SEEMS TO BE A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO WILLING AND LIVING WORK IDEAS.
Still,I too,am often horrified, at things I see in myself. I've thought alot about it. I'm starting to understand that the parts of my Personality that I don't approve of cann't be changed. Personality, and all it's many 'i's',is programmed into us by accident and circumstance.
I've been trying to understand the idea of Second Body. Through willing [we will what we love?] and living Work teachings, we develope this thing called Second Body which can control personality. I've read that Second Body can transcend time and survive death.]]> tag:timeoutfortruth.com,2008-07-01:1162148 Tom http://www.superwisdom.com 2008-07-01T09:31:31Z 2008-07-01T09:29:54Z I would say mostly we feel the vibration in the center. This is the "conversation in heaven" mentioned in this podcast, which is a reference from the Bible. However, I don't know that "should" really fits, since sometimes we may feel the vibration, and other times it is very quiet. Whatever is there Works for what is true and possible at the moment.
Fred and I will mention your comment in an upcoming podcast. Thank you for writing.

My burning one is similar to what St Paul was talking about in Romans 7:18-24, when he describes a split in him, with his will or mind wanting to do one thing (the "good") and his body making him do the opposite (the "bad".) Now, mine's not so much a mind-body split so much as a mind-mind split. You know the old thing where you are so committed to the true way, so desirous of staying on it and doing everything you can to further your progress, but even so all the time you're shooting yourself in the foot and arguing against yourself as though you were the very devil himself. What can I do to heal this split? What can I do to make me actually walk the walk instead of just talking the talk - for so much of the time that's the sum total of all that I do:talk the talk to myself and con myself into believing that I'm really getting somewhere? It's fear of the unknown the stops me taking even a first step, I know. And I don't want it to get so that in the end only some awful shock will be enough to jolt me out of my sleepwalking complacency.]]> tag:timeoutfortruth.com,2008-04-12:964811 Dale 2008-04-12T08:57:45Z 2008-04-12T08:57:45Z tag:timeoutfortruth.com,2008-03-18:902820 Dale 2008-03-18T19:08:44Z 2008-03-18T19:08:44Z tag:timeoutfortruth.com,2008-02-12:825903 Jan 2008-02-12T11:48:18Z 2008-02-12T10:55:49Z
I want to thank you both so much for taking the time to address my question on this podcast. I'm going to be listening to it again and again, as there's so much to reflect upon in your response. I really appreciated the notion of the "breadcrumbs on the path" - though your follow-up comments on GREED were all-too pertinent in my case. You obviously know just how my mind works. But I'll try keep remembering that vertical arrow you talked about as a kind of direct line to the eternal Now.

When you spoke of society's sinister mind-numbing techniques, I know what you mean, but I always feel it's not so much "them" out there being so strong as "me" being so weak and eager to go along with all their appeals and fawnings to my ego. The more I can stay aware, though, maybe the less avid to hear their flattering lies I'll be. "Watch and pray," as the Bible says, "watch and pray."

Anyway, thank you yet again for your response and thank you too for everything you're doing here. Yes, you're right: these podcasts do seem to be something quite unique on the net, and for that alone you're manna from heaven.

Obvious though it may be, by the way, my suggestion film-wise would be "Groundhog Day".]]>
