Hi all,
Good topic seesaw,
A lot of what you say sounds like me. Why I'm here, sharing and having someone to talk to. Listening to inspiration that comes to me when posting and when others are posting.
I just woke up and was thinking of forks in the road. The bible are full of them. Two brothers born, one is blessed and recieves inheritance and the other doesn't. Allegories for us to show us the Path and the consequences of our choices.
Don Juan said that would not like to be caught up in the second attention for anything in the world. It is such a vast realm that one gets easily trapped.
There are forks in the road we must avoid and the vastness of the first attention and the forks in the road are just as numerous.
We get caught up in anger and gossip and science and logic and holding grudges etc., etc.
These all are forks in the road that people take and never seem to be able to find there way back to the Path.
Jesus said he was The Way. Ignore the forks that lead in the wrong directions or spend our lives wandering the realms of the first or second attention.
Stay the course. Follow the yellow brick road. Keep our eye on the prize that is Home. (Not Kansas.)
At the end Jesus said "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do." To really take that mind-set to heart is to avoid the forks in the road.
Don Juan said "No one is doing anything to anyone."
