How can we best contribute to the movement and awakening?
Sometimes the best way to contribute is to just show up.
I was just posting this morning in SR about the magic that takes place when people just post and share. Even when those posting do it for their own reasons...other members get something out of it. Sometimes what one gets is not quantifiable. Like when EL posted in the dream thread about the SR happenings. Maybe he just needed to express himself. However, I got alot out of that. I had been watching things in the forum turn and felt like I was the only one to see it. So I was over here, trying to read the dream thread feeling very much alone and lost. He posted for his own reasons, however, it let me know I wasnt alone. That meant something to me. I was sorry to be posting off topic in the beautiful dream thread...however, I really needed to get that post from EL. I'm glad Wolf was able to delete those posts and I am grateful that it didnt stop the dreamer from posting...and grateful to have had the space for that to take place. So sometimes the best one can do is just show up.
In these forums and the whole Castaneda debate Im a middle of the fencer...I think his stories were stories, however, it contained real knowledge. I got something from the books. However, my feelings about created natures and true natures I tend to believe that sometimes people replace their own true natures with the natures of others. I believe that people have done this with Castanedas stuff...swapped their descriptions for his. So in occupying ones own personal development...show up. Show up for yourself. Where Castaneda stands in ones mind...you now stand in that place in your own mind. Take back your mind. Because really, even though you read the books...you are the one that did the work...it was your accomplishment...not Castanedas.
