Letter from the Field: “I’m thrilled!” (In Post-awakening)
Dear Fred,
I think I never thanked you for putting my little ‘Boy with hole inside’ story on your site. It was so kind of you to do that and it has had a curiously empowering effect on my ‘me’. Inevitably my ‘ego self’ felt some self importance about seeing it on the world wide web. But somehow it seemed to help the ‘unit’ have confidence that it deserves to own its innate awakeness. Something like that.
In any case I’m thrilled lately because the ‘awakening’ seems to be continuing apace. Simply recognizing that I am a product of the miracle of awakeness, there’s a quiet recognition of the insubstantiality of my deeply conditioned personality and a recognition of the silent ok-ness that underlies everything. Nothing flashy, but oh so ‘liberating’. No mirror/no dust. I could go on and on. But after years of searching, to finally have a release from that compulsion to search. Wow. Pretty big sense of relief.
I know you know what I’m talking about. Especially since your teaching catalyzed the occurrence. So I’m pretty sure these reports add to the fire of awakeness in which we ‘live and move and have our being’ and help us all recognize our unity. Being in the ‘healing’ trade, that recognition is probably the ultimate healer. I know I feel pretty profoundly relaxed and happy and unworried lately. I wish it for all my fellow units!
So, continuing thanks and I’ll schedule a clarity session pretty soon and intend to join a satsang sometime (I care for my disabled son on weekends so 2 out of 3 Sundays are a little challenging).
Love and blessings,
Tom

Thanks again Tom. Reinforcement (aka repetition is the mother; and so is the mother of clarity when married to ‘n’oneness) has been amazing for me. I came out of recovery, where “keep coming back” was repeated (at nauseum then), but finally claifed only here. NOW there is nothing boring or insane about it (doing the same thing and getting the same results – the character!). And it’s funny how Awakeness shunts it off a little, like It can’t have confidence, and so has the “unit” hold it for It for the time being. That’s a flow that can work!, reinflowment that isn’t relying on the ‘me’ and so the ‘me’ experience is happier – so, hmmm, let’s keep the cycling of THAT flow. The me was alway waiting for Me to real’ize the proper relative positioning for it! (that it always was so, but there was a playing at “what if” Me came after me)
I love your writing and I love you. Thanks for your reinflowment, it is so valued. I catch your good wishes gladly, and I toss them back to you even more joyed for them – isn’t this a great game!

Dear Mike
Yes, this is a delightful game and I appreciate your heartfelt comments a lot . In fact I’ve read this one five times and it still gets my conceptual mind doing flip flops and collapsing into a happy exhausted puddle. Whatever is going on with Me and me, I have the sense that its all beyond good and bad to a place of simple Ok-ness (or something!). Love you too! Tom
