Introduction
This blog posting begins to define my relationship to my Anam Cara (the in-dwelling consciousness / soul friend), as well as the integration of the feedback of an external friend
seemingly in distress. The letter is written by my Anam Cara. As the letter unfolds, pointers to larger truths are revealed, and this leads to a sense of a gentle collapsing of all of the perceived energy-of-duality into NO self / (EVERYTHING AS ONE SELF). Then, there is the receiving and just resting with this incredible play of propaganda and phenomena, all this quantum energy arising from consciousness unrestrained .... Mmmmmmmmm!
Divine to have other someones to share this work-in-process with. - Howard

Dearest essence named Howard,
We are preparing for another trip away,
this one for a week at a ranch outside Santa Fe;
then five days hiking and climbing off trail,
amidst Sedona's energetic red hills, mesas and swales.
I have been meditating on what another One-of-You
have shared with me about life, lived as Separation.
Below is a verse out of
Stuart Schwartz's fine book "
The Great Undoing"
YOU MAY APPEAR TO BE FEEBLE,
SICK, YOUNG, SOULFUL OR A SINNER
NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK
OR FEEL OR BELIEVE,
NONE OF THIS IS WHO YOU ARE
YOU ARE PLAYING A ROLE,
INHABITING A LIFESTYLE,
LOSING YOURSELF IN YOUR OWN LIFE.

On an attachment you recently read to me,
the unnamed author concludes
"The Root of all problems -- INADEQUATE SELF IMAGE".
I believe this author is at best 50% on target.
The root of all problems is constructing and maintaining
ANY SELF IMAGE.
WERE WE TO REALLY LET THE MIND COME TO REST,
THIS ALONE WILL TRIGGER OUR "GREAT UNDOING".
NOT EFFORTING TO CREATE ANY SELF IMAGING --
IMAGINE THEN, OUR CLARITY OF CONNECTION
TO THE DIVINITY ALREADY SURROUNDING US,
THAT ACTUALLY BIRTHED AND
BORE THE ETERNAL "I AM" OF US
INTO THIS WORLD OF FORM AND DIMENSION!!!
***
AND, TO MY EXTERNAL FRIEND:
Consider taking these above very simple pointers
deep within your interior
and use this to warm and illuminate all those
seemingly
self-image fragments
and
seemingly
stuck behavior patterns that have
seemingly
become thick as molasses
and
seemingly
provide you with a sense of spiraling downward.
Welcome to the
GREAT ILLUSION
that most of humanity turns into a deepening confusion.
Let LOVE have its way with you O' Nameless One.
Be the LUCKY PIERRE,
then give even this held sense-of-self away!!!
Your Anam Cara
