Heavenletters

Dear Chuck, how could you offend or intrude with a kind and thoughtful response? What you write is very interesting because it makes me wonder whether perhaps I misunderstood the awareness-of-awareness sentence altogether. I usually try to interpret as little as possible, keeping very close to the words themselves or referring to other Heavenletters when something is difficult to understand or at least putting possible conclusions in the form of questions as in this case.

Now you as a native speaker, Chuck, have to halp me understand the sense of fullness of love eclipses itself in your thought of it. If eclipse is to "obscure", "block out", "make invisible", then the whole image for me is of the thought of love being something like a large decal of love itself covering and obscuring the "sense" or actual experience of love. Since that is what I understand, I am unable to construe awareness of awareness as some new kind of thought. I still read something like "that old thinking about life that only reduplicates our perceptions and therefore covers and blocks out much of life itself".

This is a very important point for me, Chuck. For if this awareness of awareness already is a new kind of thinking, that would mean I totally misunderstood this Heavenletter. What do I understand? I understand, "Don't think." The image of the diver seems to support that. More fully, I understand: "Let your thinking become so light, so transparent that it will no longer eclipse reality/Reality."
