DaRk AnGel : Why Home : September 2006 : What The B?

What The B?

The moment you become aware of the vicious cycle of the activity of defensiveness, you will
see clearly that what you have been rejecting is yourself and that the rejection is useless
and unnecessary. Then you will relax and stop. The complete perception of this cycle is the
stopping of the wheels. Then the personality is dissolved by clarity. There is clarity because
there is no movement in the personality separating it from Being. As you can see, this
insight comes only with a great deal of work. It takes a long time to get to the point of seeing
the totality of ego activity. To see it experientially and directly rather than from a disidentified
or transcendent perspective is made possible by a deep exploration of the territory of
personality from within. When you see this completely, it is possible for the movement in
you that connects you with the rest of society to stop. When it stops, you become pure,
clarified personality, soul with no ego structure. . . . For the first time, you can perceive the
actual substance of the personality without the past. (www.ridhwan.org)

I was standing outside of the barber shop waiting for the van to come enjoying the coolest day since May and polluting the air with cigarette smoke.

The lady that cuts my hair, Valerie, has cut it since 1989 and is a good soul. I look up and see her running across the street holding a scrap of paper. She has a customer in her chair, but abandons him to make sure I get this.

"You've got to see this Movie. I got it from NetFlix and watched it five times." She says then turns and runs back inside.

On the paper is a web site, www.whatthebleep.com .

I get home, go back to bed, wake up feed the birds, get ready for tomorrows outings, and finally key in the web page.

I am reticent. Valerie is the lady that had me wearing magnets around my neck for a week after I first fell ill. So it is with skepticism that I await the opening of the page. Valerie's spiritual path and mine have rarely run parallel.

The page opens and I start reading. All of a sudden I am enthralled. This is a movie that I want to see. I have in fact already ordered it. I think those of you that think about the deeper meanings of life will find this alluring to say the least. I also downloaded the workbook which is free and where I found the quote at the top of the page. I am heavily into regression therapy now, and studying anything I can on freeing myself from the acts and words of my youth that unknowingly haunt me today.

I urge you to check out the trailers!
