Many of the things here are ridiculously hard, or made so well hidden much effort had to be made to do something.
It' just ironic how LOO seems to deeply apply. I remembered in past playing "poker" (or game of chance) but with "all hands" can see. It's like almost, you could see what your opponent could do next, and what hands he plays, and almost all the tricks in the book.
Playing such a poker game, it was mostly "managing your cards", selecting best cards and after long time, like Sam & Ralf (Sheepdog and Wolf), where many things were clockwork:
[Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_and_Sheepdog]
- Sam goes to guard sheep. Ralf goes underwater and Sam would pour some gasoline into the straw and Sam would choke and give up.
- Ralf goes and fiddle with the time-clock and the Sam goes to lunch. Sam come back immediately and hits Ralf just when he was about to go on.
The poker game rules have changed very, very much. Many of the things are not valid, or rules are very different or environment has changed so much.
I don't know much either.
Hi there, Carrie.
Again, welcome to this corner of Creation. I hope you're able to find things here that are helpful.
Yes, things are changing!
One wonderful thing happening is that the veil that hides the unconscious from the conscious mind is getting thinner and thinner. This means that more and more pathways for exploration are opening up all the time and this can be confusing. Sometimes it's useful to have central handrail to return to for directional guidance.
Ra & Q'uo never tire of advising people to regularly enter into silence (and you can freely ask them to be there with and support you).
You're right on when you say that this stuff is not so easy. But I can happily tell you from my own experience that it is well worth all that effort to more deeply experience and live in fuller partnership with your own deeper self.
Where to start? If you can relax your mind and your body, explore silence. Explore your own space in a state of silence. There is so much waiting to be discovered by you!
Once you're in, the handrail I mentioned is Love. Allowing yourself to be guided by turning in whichever direction brings you into a more intense experience of and acceptance of Love is the essence of the teaching, in my opinion.
I wish you all the best, Carrie.

I guess I should add in the fine print that this is a place to start from and re-start from and re-start from...on and on. It's the entrance to the labyrinth. But it's more fun being in than out!
