Subject: Thank you, Rob

Ron, thanks for your continued efforts in cyberspace mutuality. I often feel very alone in my process. I have opened to another world, a dark and foreboding place where clarity abounds. I fall into a trance-like state in our world and waunder or journey often. I live between our world and the dark world. When looking at our world, I "see" the buildings, trees, landscape and am astounded at the lack of order, congruancy and continuancy. We impose our beliefs on our environment.

Thus, when enjoying a visit at my favorite out-or-doors restaurant, I notice this lack of order in the table placements, the cabanas and the sprinkled shrubs. Someone concluded that this false environment creates a kinesthetic ambience for dining and chatting. Well, certainly on one level of awareness, this false environment does work for the patrons. But I notice something else, something disquieting and disjointed. Nothing really fits.

But by "looking" more deeply into these surroundings, I see the cellular order of these disparate objects. On this more subtle level of awareness, everything fits perfectly. There is a fluidity of motion emanating from the table placements, cabanas and shrubs in synchronous harmony. My experience of this environment is visceral. I feel the impact of this enegetic flow in my body and resonate with this flow, for I too am this flow.

For my mind however, this experiencing of flow is problematic. My mind cognizes two contradicting levels of experience. There is the disorder of the surroundings fabricated to placate the unconscious needs of patrons enjoying lunch. There also is this clarity that permits recognition on the deeper level of cellular order and flow in all things. The clarity, I experience from the other world, the dark world.

I am in awe and I am humbled by this momentary experience. After all, I was simply sitting with a friend enjoying a chat in my favority out-of-doors restaurant.
