“It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.”

(Henry David Thoreau)

I’m again heavily impressed not only by what You say, nay, even more by the way You do it. What a swiftness of punching things through, with just the right dose of redundancy! Determined, hard, melodic, in one go.
I don’t know who – living – equals Your mastership of the English language. I ain’t flatterin’. This just had to be said.
And, really wholesome, that You do not any of this light-adoring, supertranscending out-of-nothing-redeeming fashionable halfwitted cyberquantum-vedastick stuff, but make it headway to the real questions.
Then, of course, the ahindlying sarcasm against Your adversaries, embedded, sometimes with a bit of cynicism in the rest of the discourse, anyway, not in so much distance from Your humorous-imaginary pieces, gives me just the more of the fun.
OK. This was the try for a laudatio. To be heard.
Now to business. Many people, in their despair, just want to find a way to let go for good. Thus they will take anything that’s sold to them as some kind of „spirituality“.
I don’t take You as the kind of rabble-rouser that typically comes in whenever the cleric or the big briber is not already there. This is tough, straight, clear stuff. That’s why people don’t take it in so easily.
May be the time is coming when I have the leisure to translate some more of Your more than just witty pieces into German. (These are hard nuts to crack.)

Greetings,

Magnus

I’d say Stay away from consensus reality when you don’t like what you are experiencing. go into the 4th dimension, envision the reality you desire and FEEL it as if you are there…you bring it about when you feel it. If you want to move to a new home, sleep in the new home in your imagination. Feel it, wake up in that new house in your imagination.. soon it will be your consensus reality. It creates itself objectively when you focus subjectively. The world is a shadow/reflection of your thoughts, your mind’s focus. What you focus on grows. What you think about you bring about. What you Imagine you create. Imagine with focus, not day dreaming.. KNOW what you are imagining. Stop organizing around someone else’s reality. MAKE YOUR OWN, and watch it organize around you!
