Someone threw one of my rhetorical questions back at me:
WARRIORSHIP : Really it is simply a matter of taking yourself in hand, and living a simple true life that gradually makes you stronger and better connected (can't have one without the other). And learning that the truth has a bitter taste, not a sweet one. Facing up to things is difficult and grim (will definitely require SACRIFICE) but will ultimately empower.
Most of what you feel - of what comes in - is rubbish - figments of an overactive ego. Imagine a heavy barbell on your shoulders and having to squat with it. The pain and discomfort will be intense and there will be so much telling you to quit but if you manage to connect to the truth of the endeavour - the heart of the exercise - that fine subtle line of posture and attitude then you will succeed. This is what we mean by connectedness. It has nothing to do with being nice or sociable with worthless idiots and everything to do with feeling, finding and living the truth.
Become interested in ESSENCE and comsumed by a fascination for TRUTH.
And most importantly of all, find and follow GREAT TEACHING.
"How do you survive the onslaught of energy impinging and impressing on you all the time?" Can you say more about this? In the absence of a survival strategy - surely that way madness lies?ENGAGE IT : Everything I say addresses this problem. There are no easy answers other than to start the work and then continue, and to have the intelligence and grace not to die before you've finished.
