What are the qualities of true vision?

Posted on Dec 7th, 2009 by jimijaymz : ashramaniac jimijaymz
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 07, 2009:

those who see have long-ago dispensed with the illusion of quality. the idea that one characteristic is an attribute and another a flaw is the primary evidence that someone is veiled. ALL things can be credited and blamed with / by someone @ the expense / income of another. look to the demographics people : these are the folks who make the insurance on a red, two-door coupe more than, let's say, a white mini-van. why ? the chance that you will be killed driving like an asshole is 100 times greater in a coupe ( red especially ) than the proverbial soccer-mom mobile. those who see have no need / desire to look. look is action similar to the distinction sometimes posited between hearing and listening. can u hear / see me @ all ?inner-trainment. know acception. peace.

What did you learn about yourself this past week?

as a sixth-generation coloradoan, i could really do with very little warm weather. previously, i had considred myself a " snow-bird without wings . " now, i feel as though summer is the break from winter, not vice versa. we'll see if this holds for the rest of the winter.....oh yea....it's not even winter yet. know acception. peace.

What was the last thing you gave away?

Posted on Dec 5th, 2009 by jimijaymz : ashramaniac jimijaymz
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 05, 2009:

same as the last thing i took.....time. the precious few seconds it takes to listen to a child's rendition of world events seems petty to us but may mean a lot to a small one. take time to give some of yours. know acception. peace.

What are the characteristics of a true friend?

Posted on Dec 3rd, 2009 by jimijaymz : ashramaniac jimijaymz
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 03, 2009:

a friend is someone who knows when to pat-on-the-back and when to kick-in-the-ass. a true friend knows these things can be simultaneous. according to cayce ( and  others ) we only ever have deep relations with souls whom we have related with / to in our past ( incarnations ). your brother may have been your father elsewhen. our friends, thereby, are, have been and will always be such. as the saying goes " you can pick ur nose OR your friends....not ur friend's nose . " know acception. peace.

How emotionally old do you feel?

Posted on Dec 1st, 2009 by jimijaymz : ashramaniac jimijaymz
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 01, 2009:

this is directly dependent on the amount of mass-media i've known in the recent past. when there is here separation, there is the anti-thesis of anxiety. when there is here over-load, angst is insufficient as descriptor. the nazarene is quoted as saying " suffer the little children unto me. i tell you the truth : until man becomes such as these, he will never see the kingdom of heaven ". that;'s because children know their heaven and their hell can be magically the same place : a cardboard box. know acception. peace.

What is your relationship to luxury?

Posted on Nov 29th, 2009 by jimijaymz : ashramaniac jimijaymz
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 29, 2009:

human animals have the luxury of tense : past, present and future. as far as we think, the rest of the animal kingdom operates @ now. for us, the idea that our creature may somehow be denied comfort is as dis-tressing as the dis-comfort itself. this is why we allocate bazillions of dollars to " defense spending ". funny how all of the defense budget is spent on OFFENSE. how are we to justify the Defense of a position ? politics IS correction. the mongols, turks, christians, bi-partisans, etc. have only ever created THEM. without them, how can there be us ? if we're right, how can they be as well ? everyone lives their truth....it is not possible to live a falsehood. depending on the editor, there is only news under the sun. know acception. peace.

How do you respond to uncertainty?

Posted on Nov 28th, 2009 by jimijaymz : ashramaniac jimijaymz
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 28, 2009:

kinesiology. the muscle-testing protocol is one that has the utmost influence in my experience. as electrical ( energetic ) beings we respond. as emotional monkey-minds we react. response is either attraction or repulsion ( as in magnets ). reaction is as infinite as the cosmos, and just as de-bilitating. we see this in the cat-like response of those who are commited to the art of meditation. as the waters of the mind calm, so does the reflection paint a clearer picture. of what are you un-certain ? learn the kinesiologic response test and thine fetters shall melt like a slushee in Hades. know acception. peace.

How have current events been affecting you?

Posted on Nov 27th, 2009 by jimijaymz : ashramaniac jimijaymz
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 27, 2009:

in the same fashion as past and future events : naught @ ALL . we are the only creatures ( as far as we think ) that suffer in the absence of pain. our monkey mind consorts with all sorts of what if's and away we go. the tricky thing about danger is that it is always present and rarely clear. do we know of murky, absent danger ? upon remembering singularity, we put all the PEACES in their places. we say energy follows the path of least resistance. how much energy will we experience if we offer none @ all ? now here....no where. know acception. peace.

How or when did you learn about other faiths?

Posted on Nov 26th, 2009 by jimijaymz : ashramaniac jimijaymz
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 26, 2009:

the age of reckoning : 7. i reckoned that the whole ecclesiatic maelstrom was nothing more ( or less ) than a thinly veiled disguise of secular busy-ness. the job of the clergy has, is and shall ever be the same as that of the CEO : job security. when ahkenaten decided the priesthood was a drain on the pharoahnic treasury, moved the capital up-river and decreed peace, love and ( gasp ) one god....well we have the record to tell the tale. the priests / nobles of the day went to extraordinate measure to obliterate this blasphemer from the sands of history. fast-forward to martin luther, gandhi, rev. MLK, tim leary, etc. and we see the same job security being threatened and the same lethal blow being dealt. the oracle @ delphi had two inscriptions above the door : know thyself and nothing in excess. somehow our keeping-of-our-brother mentality has made an earnest attempt @ the elimination of this ever so simple creedo. find a mirror and ye shall know god. know acception. peace.
