Sue:
Perception is what we have ingrained into our being…From such a young age We are like sheep in that we follow the herd of others perceptions and beliefs…Setting the world to rights only comes after we have worked on and set our own selves to rights.. And for some they never think they are wrong! So…We are responsible for our own actions and Thoughts as we know…I like you keep trying to throw a thought to awaken a few who are perhaps stretching…But in the end…They are the only ones who can open their eyes.
Me:
Liberation is to question the Misperception about Life we have been all force-fed with.
We cannot set our own selves to rights. Ego cannot save ego. Meaning that we cannot “work” with The false. Only seeing the false as false, is the beginning of change.
The painful paradox is that Life is insoluble… No matter how skillful, our attempt to find a “new way” is futile and pathetically fails. We can not “straighten things up”
Man proposes and God disposes…
Sue:
All I can do Julien, is trying to make my own world better .. And that’s trying to be Happy in my own world of Illusion my good friend…
Me:
I thought for such a long time that I could “improve”. And despite good-will and “right” intentions, I lamentably failed to make anything better.
Coming to that bitter point I understood that I have to literally stop trying. I understood that my limited intelligence cannot bring about the required change.
The sense of “let go, let God”, has never had such urgent significance like it has now.
We simply have to stop. Surrender – not as a word, but as an impending fact.
