koan-

tanks for that detailed reply... which i take as a yes to my question:
are you trying to trick us into thinking you're one of US??
(it actually was intended to be a yes or no question, albeit tongue in cheek.)

i've lived through all that historical stuff and you know it so i take your essay
to be directed at those who have not. ...as a map to how WE got to the level
of understanding YOU now enjoy.

but there are still more windows to crawl through. i have crawled through a
few that you haven't and we both have an infinite amount of other windows to
open and go through.

i've laid out maps to you as well - about understanding the spiritual laws of the
universe - and how i got there. those maps were not useful to you to follow.
the point i see here for both of us to acknowledge is that no individual can
follow another's map to enlightenment. there comes a point in our growth
where no "bible", "koran", "i ching", "history of civilization" or "map of koan"
is valid for us to evolve further. we evolve from the unknown to the known
to the greater unknown through the same forces that govern the evolution
of the universe.

these days of rapid evolution of climate, technology and civilization are
driving our individual evolution by the same powers of the same cosmic
energy. we try to create intelligent computer algorithm models to be our
maps but they are very imperfect. we go forward with imperfect maps. my
course of action is to watch the here and now and react in the here and now
to the energy of this vast universe in a way that seems compatible and in
harmony with it.

i think maybe i learned that skill through years of flying and sailing through
the elements of water, sky and weather. your path will vary, driven by other
experiences... and your tracks left behind will be imperfect for anyone else
to follow.

but anyway... tanks for your map. it is one of millions that lay behind us all
as tracks to this place and time, now... together and closer as a team. our
tracks do not define how to get here to the present moment but our actions
define where we are right now and why. i am here, now, watching you.
i nurture what feels good in you and in me as we evolve.
