Robert,
Thanks for sharing, that is beautiful and it is so true. When you find
yourself out working and your not serving self, life looks different. It
has a glow and you know that whatever is happening is just fine. You are
blessed by obstacles, challenges, and all of the joy and beauty all
around which invites you to partake. Have a Merry Christmas. Gloria

Subject: lonliness / Rilke quote
I was flipping through Letters to a Young Poet today, and I noticed this.
Later I read all the lonliness mail, and I thought it was synchronous and
maybe I should post it.
" I don't want you to be without a greeting from me when Christmas comes
and when you, in the midst of the holiday, are bearing your solitude more
heavily than usual. But when you notice that it is vast, you should be
happy; for what (you should ask yourself) would a solitude be that was not
vast; there is only one solitude, and it is vast, heavy, difficult to bear,
and almost everyone has hours when he would gladly exchange it for any kind
of sociability however trivial or cheap, for the tiniest outward agreement
with the first person who comes along, the most unworthy.... But perhaps
these are the very hours during which solitude grows; for its growing is
painful as the growing of boys and sad as the beginning of spring. But
that must not confuse you. What is necessary, after all, is only this:
solitude. Vast inner solitude. To walk inside yourself and meet no one
for hours. - that is what you must be able to attain. To be solitary as
you were when you were a child, when the grown-ups walked around involved
with matters that seemed large and important because they looked so busy
and because you didn't understand a thing about what they were doing."
Rainer Maria Rilke
Maybe useful, maybe not. It just struck me as wierd that I was reading it
today before I checked the mail.

"Your" noises in your ears have to do with the in-comming photon-belt,
you are sensible to its frequencies and may be others, too.
But that will stop about Januray 1st, 1997. So stay with that suffering
for a little while, because we only can disminue the pain, but we can not
take away the noises untill this day, because they r e a l l y are
there, only some persons get them to hear so intensiv.
Be in LOVE and be prepared. Then you and we a l l we hear lovely
cosmic music for an hour and this acknowledges the mass-landings of our
space-brothers and sisters ADONAI VASU BARAGUS WE ARE COMMING IN THE
LIGHT OF THE ONE.
LOVE simply is

Hi Tim
- Do you know some techniques with which these guides can actually
become visible to you? Or maybe to make a verbal (two way) communication
with them? Or anything else away from the slippery field of thoughts.
Because thougths are the main deceivers in ones life.
Anyone else knows anything about it?

YES! That is the right thing. The time will run out and you'll feel
like an idiot for letting it go. While if you ffind strength to do even
small thing while alone, they will reward you. And the world IS
beautiful, and there ARE so many things to do, and so many things to see.

Yes, why not? We'll die anyway, won't we. So anything we do doesn't
really matter as long as we are comfortable with it.
You made my day!
PS I am leaving home today (I am living in another country) where I don't
have e-mail so I won't have the chance to read your wonderful messages
untill the 10th of January. I wish to thank all the people that replied
to me and to all the others and to wish you all Marry Christmass and
Happy new Year and have a great time!!!!
from the heart
