Nothing is Personal

Hi Jeff and Katherine,

    I enjoyed the call on the 4th tenet.  I especially find that this is an enlightening tenet.  I recall my first retreat with Andrew where he had us contemplate the difference between the personal and impersonal dimensions.  I was clear about the freedom and space of the impersonal.  Your call had that quality in the initial dialogue between the two of you and with all of us.  I think that we can really awaken to something that is cosmic in our consciousness as we realize we are a process and not an individual entity.  I have found that many aspects of my individual life have pointed to the evidence that I am/we are a process.  It is also an existential realization. But to realize we are one entity or process or being together is really far out and reaches the psyche beyond itself. I like it. It is freeing.  And it is not the way I usually feel which is more this idea of being imprisoned in a self or body or idea of me. Yet to give over oneself completely to this large process as onesself is a leap... that seems daunting especially in the secular world.  I see here the need for a community with others who are interested in this and see the possibility of it as well.

    I think most people including myself don't really know how to let go of self as object completely and then to go beyond even self as process to self as no self and only big process as existing.

Thanks again.

What an unbelievable thought.  The Evolutionary process awakening to itself, realizing that the human form is its vehicle, to use and discard.  At first it is a little scary to think that, as a human being, I am disposable to the process.  Humans are conditioned to believe they are essential.  I almost want to think I am the BEST vehicle to convey the process (but there is that ego talking).  There must be many other forms that are equally as necessary to it. When the Evolutionary process wakes-up to itself, through me as a human being, what is the next use for this vehicle?  The only thing is to consciously let go of this vehicle, and for the universe to take it back.  I feel like I will have reached the edge of this boundary (a cliff of sorts), and I am looking out into this vast area of pale color where nothing is above, below, or on either side of me.  At this spot, I must make what I think for a split second is a choice, but in reality what is the inevitable step.  Looking out at this vastness in front of me, I will know the feeling that I can take the step over the edge of this barrier, and I will not drop down, like a person falling from a cliff.  So I am ready to take my one step, that static energy pulling me.  That brief glimmer of fear from knowing I will cease to exist in this form once I take the step, suddenly dissipates.  I put my foot out and lean in, becoming one with the process of evolution.  The universe which I was born to takes me back in, because on a completely consciously level, I am no longer separate from it. Don't ask me where all these thoughts came from.  It just surfaced near the end as I was listening.   (a listener)

Just had to say.....GREAT call last night!  Your Passion was palpable!!  As I awoke this morning...my world...or The World was/felt different!! Can't really explain it.....it's like Harry Palmer, author of the "Avatar" teaching says...."It's a "World" experience, not a "word" experience". Thank you and Katherine for all your effort in this Universe Project!! From across this continent on Vancouver Island, Canada...I send my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation!

Bless you....Monique
