[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 664035, member: 17461"] How do we stop being who we aren't. Isn't that something. A paradigm shift; a new way of seeing altogether. Not who we should be or who or how we would like to be or wish we were at all. To gently [I]stop being who we are not.[/I] [I] [/I] Ha! Too true. How sweet and true this is. I love the part about extensive reading. :O) We were just posting about this very thing on the Precepts thread. About roadrunner mode. This is great imagery. How many times have we all lifted and carried burdens that were not, strictly speaking, any of our business at all and then, suffered for having done so. ... I wonder whether this is true. People who are tapping into our shame issues, into our vulnerabilities then, to enslave us will not like it when we choose to see ourselves and the world differently. This is true. But people who love us not only don't leave us, they walk the changing path with us, changing themselves as we change. So it would become a sacred obligation then for each of us to find our better, clearer selves, for all our sakes. Like we always say here, we only have influence with ourselves and no one else, at all. Ha! Yes!!! I love that you posted this for us, Copa. Thanks, thanks, thanks. I am going to put this on my fridge. Or laughter. Sometimes, it is joy that washes through us and when it is gone, there we are, wide, wide open. This is what we are doing on the FOO Chronicles. This is it, exactly. This is so beautiful. Thanks, Copa. Cedar [/QUOTE]
