		<description>Interesting perspective on this, js.

Once awake.  Then what?  

Do we become that drop of rain that falls into the ocean?

Cheers,

		<description>Yes, Gene.  There is no one way.  All paths lead to Self-Realization, the Divine, or God.  The Unconditional Domain.

Some are &quot;quicker&quot; than others.  But since time does not really exist am not sure one can even say that.  It&#039;s paradoxical until one Realizes.

And it&#039;s all about learning lessons.  Time will cease when learning is no longer necessary.

In the end we are blind.  And cannot wake up by our own efforts and looking at &quot;things&quot;.  We, of our own efforts and selves, cannot foce ourselves to awaken from this Dream, this Conditional Domain.

We eventually find out that we need Guidance.  Whether that be Jesus, Buddha, or some other Awakened One appearing, paradoxically in this ego-made Realm.

At least that is what I have learned from many years of study.  And am convinced and convicted of it.

		<description>There is indeed a bigger picture, js, and it seems a number of paths to lead the way.  JMO.  

Who decides what that &quot;bigger Picture&quot; is?  

The meaning of life?

Is one way better than another?  

Is there only one way?  

By looking at things and discussing them, that may lead to some insights.  

In the end, each of us must decide for ourselves what is meaningful to us.

Cheers,

Gene</description>

		<description>Ok, cool, glad you understand.  I also agree with you at a certain level.  Most folks only understand the physical level and don&#039;t know any better.  So they tend to fall into either a victim role or a victimizer role.  I don&#039;t want to discredit that and ignore it.

Am just trying to help some have a higher point of view and get out of these roles, rather than consoling them and thereby reinforcing their role-playing and making it more real for them.

So while it is a good idea to have compassion and so on.. but at some point, when appropriate, try to give them a higher outlook or point of view.

That was my only intent.  Not necessarily with you, but with some readers who have not been exposed to another point of view.

Thanks Gene.

		<description>Thanks Judy.  

js, yes,  I did put &quot;victim&quot; in quotation marks for a reason.   

Cheers,

Sometimes this identity or that identity &quot;Gene&quot;</description>

		<description>There are no victims here.  There is only ONE.  All that you see and hear, touch and feel, taste and know, is just a projection of your &quot;Mind&quot;.

There are no separate selves.  Even Quantum Physics is starting to prove that.  And as there are no separate selves, there are no victims and no victimizers.

And that means you are doing all this.  You are manifesting all that.  You are playing both the victim and the victimizer.

Try to see things from a Higher Perspective, then you will not choose to suffer, no matter what APPEARS to happen to an apparent YOU.

Finally, do not try to fix &quot;things&quot; at the level of the effect.  Rather focus on the cause, and that is at the level of your own &quot;Mind&quot;.  If such even exists, as you cannot really show it to me are any other apparently separated self.

You choose to suffer if you have the feeling of separation.  The feeling of separation is the Self-Contraction, in every moment.
