You Are the Delight At the End of a Tunnel
That Does Not Exist
It's a more mellow week, but the tourniquet of the Grand Cross is
tightening. There are no particular waves passing through that stand out.
This only accentuates the slow drip, drip, drip of the Cross. You may be
feeling trapped in myriad ways. Getting out only gets you in deeper. Clear
your identification in the looping patterns of your karmic dilemmas. Old
noose is not good news. Bad news is not preparing you for a good noose.
You simply are seeing the creaking machinery of the Dream. Every effort to
win sets you deeper in the Game. Every shined up hope reveals the
hopelessness underneath. You are not some hopeless hoper on the way to the
hopelands. Hopes leave you on the ropes. Your particular karmic tangles
are evident to you now in livid color. You may pale before the spectral
challenge....... No worries mate. Claim your own consciousness and clear
your own karma. It's a fine time to get some perspective on the whole lot;
all the better for letting it go and being yourself. Consider a session
with me if you hear what I'm saying.
The noise of judgments is roaring along. How hard are you on others and on
yourself? The sum total of that noise is what was done unto you over and
over again. The energy of that whirl of hurt wants to spin your life for
you. You can't stop it but you can let it go and carry on with what you
want despite the ancient noise. The mind posits endless heirarchical
matrices in which somebody/something is going to have to be better/worse.
It keeps you in the gears on the Wheel, notchurally. Trying to not judge
or be above it or to embrace all as Self and such........., well all the
strategies just lead you on and on and on. To get right is to maintain
wrongedness. These days, all of that silliness becomes transparent. If you
want to continue figuring out what is right for you, you'll be dammed
while climbing another wrong on the circular ladder of little right
livelihood. Do you really want to be a dharma queen or king? You just
don't have to get it right anymore!
How's your power going? Have you impressed yourself and others lately? How
about those areas where you have been losing power? Ooooohhh
noooooooo......... Your power shortage is causing all your suffering. More
Power NOW! More power of now; more power of intention; more power of
love.......... Hey, consider asking yourself a very direct question: Has
any and/or all of your power or God's power or what have you ever cured
the suffering problem in any real and lasting way? Don't forget that ever
popular Powerlessness. The sweet smell of victimry lingers in our nostrils
and nostrums....... Aaaaaahhhhh the surrender....... You get the
picture, the sound, the smell................. and oh how you have been
touched by the fickle fingers of fate and faith and all the fatuousity of
fatal distractions on the merry go round round round.
Power, knowledge, purity, rightness and all the other golden trinkets of
the Dream have not, do not and will not cure suffering for you (or
others!). Suffering is the result of endlessly seeking yourself in the
Game. If you claim your own consciousness directly as who you are, the
suffering falls away from you. There's no longer the search for the happy
hunting grounds because you let go of the hunt wherein you fish for
yourself only to be further trapped with only net profits in the hooky
business of gathering your shit that hit the fantastic. Cut bait, hooks,
lines and sinkers. Be and see, say and play. There's no Way that it's
going to happen. It's your choice.
You are the delight at the end of a tunnel that doesn't exist,
Mark
