\n-25\u00b0.\u00a0 A white world and a clear sky.\u00a0 The waning moon in a clear sky looks like a jewel lying on silk, an opal maybe.\u00a0 There are no words for how beautiful it is.\u00a0 As the sky gets lighter still, the moon fades, losing its glow and its 3-D quality, becoming flat, a torn bit of lace, a paper mask.<\/p>\n
Had a bit of a visit with Daria yesterday.\u00a0 Can\u2019t remember how it started, maybe I asked her about faith.\u00a0 She said she had put together something that worked for her, maybe some form of reincarnation.\u00a0 Then she asked her father, and what he said really shook her foundation.\u00a0 She wishes now she\u2019d asked him more before he died.\u00a0 But at the time she\u2019d assumed he thought the way she did, so it was a shock.\u00a0 Their foundation was in Quakerism.\u00a0 I said I believed in reincarnation because people were born with such wildly differing skills & knowledge, and it could take a whole lifetime to work on a single problem.\u00a0 I told her I had been a little upset by Tenzin Palmo who said that everyone was reborn, but only those who had developed a strong enough spirit that they could control their next birth – only these were reincarnated.\u00a0 Then I told her the thing I once told Kevin, that if my work on myself resulted in a better life for whoever got that chunk of energy, I would feel my life had not been wasted.\u00a0 After talking with Daria I went on to think that if my healing work on myself is changing the human energy field, then that\u2019s a tremendous contribution.\u00a0 (Of course, that\u2019s what Tenzin Palmo was doing in her cave, and why the Dalai Lama told her to go back.) It\u2019s not Neskaya, the building and the corporation that counts, but the good changes in people\u2019s lives that have resulted.\u00a0 I feel like I\u2019m now understanding the words about \u201clay up for yourselves treasures in heaven\u201d because changes in consciousness will go on, and have ripple effects.\u00a0 I think of two psychic friends who told me that what we do at Neskaya has results bigger than the earth.<\/p>\n
Still feeling pretty good.\u00a0 The revelation that my true work is in the invisible realm and therefore something eternal, something that lasts, is not wasted, goes on contributing, or goes on changing in a positive direction \u2014 I don\u2019t know how to get it into words.\u00a0 I thought of trying to tell Eleanor last night, but didn\u2019t.\u00a0 I think because of the difficulty putting it into words.\u00a0 She already knows it, I think that\u2019s what she meant when she said \u201cWhen we don\u2019t give up, don\u2019t commit suicide, then we are helping god.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
