Heavenletters

Theophil and Jochen, thank you so much for responding to what I have written. You both have given me more than you know. Theophil, your words are respectful while loving and helpful. Jochen, of all that I have read that you have written, I have never known you to be arrogant.

When I wrote my comment about civilization, it was careless, a mistaken over-generalization and an example of an unattractive tendency of mine (that I am working on). Theophil, yesterday, I happened across Heavenletter # 940 and it is in total agreement with your comment: "All negativity is untrue. An element is missing in any denouncement of anyone or anything." My comment about civilization was clearly a denouncement.

Jochen, I, too, love everything that you write, you have such a penetrating vision that sees right to the heart of issues. You rightly ask me: "But when are we aware of the Truth?" This is an excellent question and points to the fallacy that lies within the statement I made about choices and being aware of Truth. A better way to frame it may be that becoming aware of Truth is the process we are engaged in (I see my error in implying that it is an all or none issue). But I still believe we always have choices and the process involves trying to be more conscious of our choices as we make them. Let's leave the discussion of what is real and unreal to another day. Maybe I will come to Germany some time and we can have a nice long discussion over a cold beer.

This is such a wonderful dialogue, like cool siops of water after being lost in a desert. I feel like I have stumbled a bit, and two friends helped me stand back up and dusted me off, to continue my journey with an even more confident stride............Chuck
