what did you learn today?

[Plenum]

well, today I learnt that is is extremely beneficial to be around individuals that are highly blocked and socially inept. Deep down, I have always known this, and I have always been drawn to individuals that are on the outer of society, the outcasts, the homeless, the different.

these individuals test one's limit of acceptance, and in doing so, reveal those areas that are still being self-judged by oneself.

the higher the blockage, and the greater the ineptitude, the greater the test of acceptance and the greater the revealing of hidden judgement patterns that are operational in the mind.

it is blissful to be around clear individuals; there is a communion of minds, a thorough sharing of self, a total aura of acceptance.

but put yourself in the face of an undisciplined, wild, uncontrolled individual and you will see the tendencies to control and tame that person; and these patterns most often originate from childhood when one's own vibrant and erratic nature were brought to bear using the tools of guilt, punishment, and threatening of withdrawal of love.

in the blocked individual we see the mirror of our own blockages. It is a tremendous opportunity.
