Yep, true enough.. but you could say the same thing, about any other
kind of charity..;)

To me, that is another kind of surrender. When she stops resisting the
feelings.

and we forget, about the miracles when the needs of physical reality
are pressing...

I consider you enlightened, but I think of enlightenment as a journey,
not a destination.

But you DID surrender. You surrendered to *not knowing*. I think that
is the most important kind of surrender.
Happens to me, like that all the time. Like, when I cannot find
something.. I can look all day without success, but when I admit I don't
know, my body walks me straight to the missing object and puts it in my
hand. For a while I thought it was faeries playing tricks on me, but it
just seems to be the mechanism of surrender.
Writing email, too.. folks ask me questions about stuff, and I think to
myself, "How the hell am I supposed to know???" But I start typing anyways,
and insights come.

I would rather live in a world where my life is surrounded by mystery
than live in a world so small that my mind could comprehend it.
