From Notes

Four words which relate to love

Pia mother to son, sister-brother, etc.

Eros sexual attraction (taste)

Philo (approval) based on time and place

Agape “I see that whatever you are doing that at the moment you are doing it you feel that it is right, proper, or justifiable”

Agape never just happens. You must learn about it. Agape perfects any of the other three. 


A good question to ask yourself in any given situation is this:

“IS IT WORTH IT”

Blame is a misconception. No one—not even you—is to blame.

What is “ideal”? Is what one IS that is real, or the ideal of what one should be? Does this illusion, the ideal of the self become a mold into which we try to force ourselves? 

Does trying to do something that cannot be done result in the feeling of frustration? What is wrong? What is wrong with being yourself without the many desires from old suggestions and decisions from the past with which you are identified? Is there another person in all the world exactly like you? Do you need to be another person, real or imaginary, in order to be happy? Or do you merely need to see that you are what you are without any need to be someone else? ……then there is no struggle, is there? IF THERE IS NO STRUGGLE, THEN THERE CAN BE NO FRUSTRATION.

Is not all frustration from failing or expecting to fail in the STRUGGLE TO BECOME?  Can you understand the trick we play on ourselves? If you do, you are free of frustration—-are you not? You are free to be ACTUAL, REAL AND SPONTANEOUS…THE CREATIVE YOU: SOMETHING THE WORLD NEEDS VERY MUCH.

WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW THAT YOU ARE NOT STRUGGLING TOWARD A GOAL? WHO KNOWS? LETS WAIT AND FIND OUT. IT MAY BE INTERESTING!!!!

THERE IS ECSTASY AND GLORY IN BEING. “BECOMING” IS FALLING FROM BEING.
