pattern

Now those people who fly have a different point of view of the world from the people who spend their whole lives on the ground

There was a poem written once while the author was flying, and he called his poem the "God's eye view"

And he said it was so different from the view he always had on the ground, which he called the "bug's eye view"

Now I thought about that bug's eye view when I was over in Persia.

They told me an old Persian legend

It was about a bug who spent his entire life in the world's most beautifully designed Persian rug.

All the bug ever saw in his lifetime was his problems. They stood up all around him; he couldn’t see over the top of them.

And he had to fight his way through these cuts of wool in the rug to find some crumbs somebody had spilled on the rug.

And the tragedy, of the story of the bug in the rug was this:

That he lived and he died in the world's most beautifully designed rug

But he never once knew that he spent his life in something which had a pattern.

That’s why I want to get you up in the air tonight; to see something the old bug couldn’t see in the rug.

Because even he, this bug, if he had once gotten above the rug so he could have seen all of it, he would have discovered something;

That the very things he called his problems, were a part of the pattern.

Have you ever felt like that bug in the rug?

That you are so surrounded with your problems, that you cant see any pattern to the world in which you live?

Have you heard anyone say lately that the world is a total mess?

...

That’s the bugs eye view

Seeing only a little of it, we might think that ...

i liked it
reminds me of the Hawk Totem. they say we must fly above the earth to see our problems and to listen to the wind! but also be grounded so we do not get too close to the sun!

I've ofter wondered why 'beauty' was always seem as being so important

people tend to like to scream on high about how important it is to pull yourself away from things so you can see the gestalt of it all for a minute, and you can see for yourself just how beautifully everything comes together in perfect harmony...which, apparently, is reason enough to overlook the fact that all this incredible beauty is nothing but a conglomeration of the filth that can't be distinguished from that perspective (like a Van Gogh painting made from feces)

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better if the beauty is what lied at the core...even IF all it 'created' was crap

hit the sun and you'l be like those satguru's running around india having OBE's days straight

if we can rise above the pattern and hold on to the awareness as we ground through method, we may just float down the river without sinking! :smile:

but what is method nowadayz?
