The memo outlined the prerequisites for class. Just imagine a scene right out of Legally Blonde. Where she got kicked of her first class for not being ready.
Okay, that didn't happen to me, but the memo wasn't found by me until this morning. ( Pull in). So many things happened because I didn't have that piece of information. Nevermind the excuses. I get the opportunity to restructure an experience by starting all over again. But damn, that hurt! and now I'm on the block!
Taking action without all the information. Have you caught yourself out? What does enlightenment actually feel like then?
It was a reality check for me where I got to see all the different actions from that perspective.
Now, it's your turn if you chose.
Yes, lets play the field, Cosmicdrifter(I was going to say dancer).
Lets tip the board!

I actually asked my husband this question first only it was "damn memo!" Laughed and brought it to you. TAlk about living a reality show!

Class just rocked, today. The teacher is a loud, been there, done that; Harley rider and I loved it. I walked out of there saying "wow", how about that turn about? I would have missed this, and I having the comparison wouldn't have wanted too.
((((Michelle))))))), you are so right on both counts. Sometimes it's one, and sometimes it's the other.

My teacher always tells me to put it out and then pull it back in. You see how you affect, and then you wait for your time to move. I always thought, too that this would look like a smooth well ordered life, not comedy! But then what do we expect? We're the interpreters. I'm going to laugh at it. This whole thing with the memo is real.
And it's not.
Whata kick!

It certainly could!
Unfortunately, I have had to do a bit of slogging. But if it can be avoided, I highly advise it. Slogging/suffering blah blah is HIGHLY overrated.
Some people just get it, and don't have alot of stuff layered up in their minds, and their inner most self just shines from them.....
letting things be simple can be hard for some, but so worth the effort.....simple is good, simple lets you just be, and know you always were this thing, all along.
Ahhh, peace...... time to go be.......... thanks for asking............
EDIT: ok, my turn lol
Perhaps what Enlightenment feels like is really, really feeling exactly what it is that your actions have put into motion, the good, the bad, and the ugly..........
but detached at the same time, as in, no judgment.
Or, judgment until you can laugh it off, and then no judgment?
I use to have this idea that enlightenment would give me peace because I won't have to worry about such things. Now, I'm not so sure- it seems to be up to me to not worry about such things, and let the peace remain undisturbed (or come back as quick as it can).
good luck with your re-construction.....

Certainly! It only takes an instant to decide to stop judging reality and just witness it. Stay in present moment awareness, (Be Here Now) Fear is the main block as I see it. Our willingness to step into the field of the unknown without attachment to the outcome is the equalizer. Trust that courage , once found, cannot be taken from you. The Now is always New, allowing a clean, fresh break from fear at any moment and the need to control reality on a constant basis. Step off! Ride on the peace train! Ah...sweet freedom!

No, I'm afraid.
The enlightenment was and is a long struggle against magical thinking in all it's guises. Today, there is much backsliding. Politicians still exhort people to trust in the supernatural, world leaders pray for guidance, and the resurgence of uncritical wool-thinking generally labelled 'new age' means the battle still continues!

I was *wondering* the other day that I had never seen an angry flower, sad maybe but not angry. A Memo in and of itself is the light *shining*, do you see it? Of course! So simple but few see it. I love this saying by Rumi, "Beyond the understanding of good and bad, there is a field, will you meet me there"? ~ : )

Enlightment is realizing you are the memo that otheres read.

Yup.

Maybe something like this:
God here. Trust your best instincts.
regards,
God.

Yes...it could be that simple.
