So I stopped and pulled your recent email up, as I knew I wanted to read it. And then came your words and pictures above, which both describe very closely what I was thinking.<BR/><BR/>Here is what came, unedited, that lead me down your "thought trace" and then your Blog for the first time...<BR/><BR/>* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<BR/><BR/><I>Just A Thought<BR/><BR/>So I've been thinking...<BR/><BR/>..where "science" is leading its search for the "base note", the essence of this thing we call life, is that this is all just a shimmering body of stringlike energy. Sounds to me like a thought. I mean just one big complex thought. Maybe that makes sense, as if this thing we call SPIRIT thought itself into existence. And gave all of its components a specific form of thought, call it a trace, and the ability to move along any given trace to the degree that one's own thought is an integrated part of an infinite network of thought traces, and these thoughts weave together what we call reality.<BR/><BR/>But their infinitude is not based upon space, but through cyclical linkages...</I><BR/><BR/>* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<BR/><BR/>When I saw your picture... that was the place I was thinking. You, as a teacher, gave me that thought trace through your amazing work 25 years ago, and I have been carrying it around and using it for all that time. So the loop infinite loop forms...<BR/><BR/>...and creates another pathway that others can use. <BR/><BR/>This is what your words are doing through this Blog... And what you describe as <I>"To create an atmosphere that includes all points of view rather than setting them in opposition, invites knowledge. Put aside the competition to have the right idea and we can have a whole landscape of ideas to choose from to match a particular problem or situation."</I> is an amazing description of what I see as my mission. And somewhat paradoxically, the narrow view which you described as the <I>"power"</I>, or dominant view as we speak of it, that decides what is true, is that which I fight against.<BR/> <BR/>So it is good to "see" you again after so many years. And your trace is still very strong in my soul. I SEE what you mean - or maybe I MEAN what you saw. Teaching is true POWER. Thank you for the gift and POWER of your work and your continued teaching!<BR/><BR/>Peace and Blessings,<BR/><BR/>Paulo<BR/><BR/><I>P.S. I am looking foward to see where this trace goes as others add to it, and as I finish the piece... <A HREF="http://www.collectivecry.com/platform.cfm?mode=profile&ID=34" REL="nofollow">The Crow</A> for the curious.</I>Troubatourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10099617495837149058noreply@blogger.com
