Dear Mr. Gopalan:
Welcome to the list. I am the List Mystress.
Have you ever heard the expression, you teach best what you most need to
learn? I find it to be useful. Particularly with regard to identifying
defence mechanisms.
It appears to me, that your egoistic attachment to being a teacher has
unfortunately blocked you from perceiving the perfect spiritual metaphors
of Ms. TeeGee's poetic offering, and it pains me in my tiny ego brain to
see you dismiss this Great Artist's work as a simple analogy of the
physical, when it has transported me to heights of bliss by making me belly
laugh like a fat buddha. Or was it your reaction that did that? Well,
both.. laughter is the nature of spirit.
I think the poem's true perfection lies in the clever resolution, when
she dismisses the egoistic conceptualizations of the reasoning mind, to be
a scratch or an itch or anything else, but her Self, that dwells in a
vessel named TeeGee she of the bright and Shining Wit and Wisdom.
Truly, I am astonished that you cannot appreciate the artistic
significance of how she was at first playfully toying with the ideas of
sages, in order to turn them inside out and backwards, to see them for the
truth of what they are: simply more words: ego conceptions to be scratched
at, more expressions of the reasoning mind that can endlessly create such
verbal definitions, which become truly only more illusions casting veils
over the truth of Perfection.
Finally, the decisive act, of denying the existence of need, and the
egoistic illusions of separation represented by itches and scratches and
relationships of other-ness... and abandoning the limited unimportance of
words to convey the infinite, in order to fully Manifest as the humble
Avatar of Wisdom that she truly is. to to be simply herself. Here and Now.
Ah! I am inspired!!
All of ego and consciousness and the physical: the holy trinity aligned
are conveyed in a truly inspired three dots. Amazing symbolism.. followed
by the blank white space of the nonduality, shaped in the form of two blank
spaces, which is the duality unperceived by the awakened eye of the
infinite.. and finally the human form with the infinite dualities resolved
within it, humbly expressed as the appellation of the Vessel of Divine
Wisdom we call TeeGee!!!!
I'm sorry you cannot appreciate it. It's Brilliant, and as you can see,
I'm humbled and moved to adoration. She is a Goddess.
>>Love,

>>* I'm really easy to get along with

Ah, another gem.. she is so humble she mocks her humility by making
jokes..
I am almost tempted to repost the poem again, so folks reading my
interpretation will have the original, to reread. However, instead I would
like to get opinions of this sig file I wrote, so that I could more easily
remind people to be considerate of their fellow listmembers while they are
on the path of .. um.. what was it? Oh yeah.
>of 'ZERO EGONESS STATE" .
Thankyou very much for sharing. :)
Hello:
I notice you reposted the entire original message with your response?
Please don't do that again in future? This is a busy list, and
bandwidth is a valuable shared resource. Please, in future when posting
remember to delete all of the post you are responding to, before posting
it, except perhaps a sentence or two to put your comments in context.
It takes only a minute to do this. If you do not, then 400+ members will
have to do it instead, for you. Waste thier time and resources to download
and look at material they have already read.
Members who subscribe to the digest, must scroll down thru all the
reposted stuff they have already read, to get to the next post, and it
makes the digest version hard to read. It also gets very needlessly
expensive for some of our Asian and European members, who must pay for
telephone line charges by the minute, and email by the kb or by the message.
I don't want to be censoring anyone, your shared thoughts are very
valuable to me. Without them, the list would not exist. The list thanks
you, for your consideration.
This criticism is not personal, this is simply a form letter I send out, in
my role as list owner, whenever I notice someone being careless with this
issue. Please do not take offense, and thank you for your co-operation.
Blessings, List Mystress.
