[Dialogue] Hurricane IKE and enlightenment

[Patricia Tuecke]

Tim, So good to hear how you and Sue have come trough in good shape. 

 

I'm reading 2 of E. Tolle's books, sort of in parallel time. And trying to
remember to be fully in the NOW; the light is more like an on/off flicker.

 

Pat

The short status is Susan and I are fine with no property damage but no
electricity. Trees are down everywhere - damage to property pretty much
depends on where they fell. Power is coming on line slowly, one estimate was
half of customers would have power back by next Tuesday. University of
Houston has power and wireless internet, hence my ability to send this. We
can walk to campus. Right after Ike a cool front blew in, so conditions
without air conditioning are really pretty good. We expect more muggy nights
in a few days. Susan and I have gotten a lot of long deferred work around
the house and yard done. We are both off work until Monday at the earliest.

The City of Houston is mostly dealing with downed trees and widespread power
outages. The city will recover just fine. But as you undoubtedly know from
news reports, Galveston and other coastal areas were devastated and will
take many years to recover.

I have been reading several books by Eckhart Tolle, and would have the goal
of becoming enlightened before the electricity comes back on except that
Tolle says having the goal of becoming enlightened is just another illusion
created by the ego. Therefore I shall just take a few deep breaths ... hmm,
the watcher notices that the ego seems to want to become enlightened and is
annoyed the power isn't on ... hmm, feel immediate enlightenment coming on
... Bingo!

Tim
