Joy Soup

Posted by Jim H. [11741.5140] on September 17, 2008 at 11:50:40:

Hi Walt,

I realize there is a...something...beyond a feeling sensation, a coming
home, an old friend sort of pleasure-memory of being that doesn't
come from a leaf, or a bottle, or a lab, or a love affair, or a memory,
or an achievement, or even assorted splendiferous things like
sunsets, or vistas, or profound insights.

It doesn't come from anywhere, but just is; mostly hidden from me
by my ego-constellated mind-density, the fists of my own fretful
architecture, and the knots of my own thought that gives the
perception that "within" and "without" are separate, a separation born and named only by my stubborn insistence and fear. It is the
grace of surrender that reconnects them as one again.  

In an Eastern sort of way, this "something" is the original
Peace/Ecstasy/Joy, in a mandala tureen of Kaliflower Kundalini soup,
poured into chakra bowls of hierarchical metaphor that tames our
minds and restores our soul.

It is what we truly share. It is what we have always meant by all the
well-intentioned silliness we do. (Insert a loving-connection smile
here.)

Sending a namaskar your way.

Hey Jim:

Your soup of Kaliflower Kundalini sounds heavenly. If only I could have a little taste of this joy soup...I would even volunteer to do the joy dishes:-)

I get the impression that your sacred taste buds are more advanced than most. Something about your humble and humorous spirit reminds me of Swami Beyondananda.

Thank you, Philly, hop in, soup's fine. No need to wash, I have an
Astral Amana. You can help me load.

I am deeply honored to be compared to anyone at all, but unlike the
Swami, I steer clear of the swamps of politics and religion...but not
necessarily the inane.

I wouldn't say my "taste buds" are either sacred or advanced, it's just
that they seem to have developed a Spirit Jones.

Whew! Just read the mantra - Diego is far out! What's that saying, "He says what we think"?:-)
