Yes this is really a very important effect, and for marketing an
effect which we really must LET IT BE KNOWN. Because all the
meditation courses are ultimately going for this: Awareness and
Equanimity. And we know how many people are looking for peace in
their mind, live and being. Not passive peace, not reactive peace,
but a very active peace coming from Even Flow (= a high level of
Equanimity).
As I once said somewhere (Here or PS list): ET got also the benefits
of meditation BUT NOT the long struggle to be able to meditate
properly (and I know what I'm talking about, I walked this talk). So
if people learn ET they get the benefits of meditation as well. you
can even sell it as an simple, profound meditation tool.

Silvia, thanks for reminding me of this, i really have to get in to
this for my own coming-out-in-the-world-with-what-I-want-to-bring

Something I thought when I read your mail was the interesting energy of anger. Now in the general annals it is held to be such a terrible thing, such a bad thing - I never thought so, personally. Reason I didn't think that was because I have found it so very useful and it has saved my life on many occasions (that's literal, not metaphorical!) AND it has made me find the energy, courage and conviction to stand up to entrenched systems all by myself and say, "ENOUGH ALREADY!"

"There MUST be a better way!!!"

The lightning strike of anger can catalyse many things - as long as it is a lightning strike, and that's very much like an energized end state at that, if not exactly the same.

It sounds to me that "the long struggle to learn to meditate correctly" has probably certain key moments in it that would be perfect for such a catalysing lightning strike, clearing the air, providing energy and yes, the courage you need to "go out there" and sing your own song - LOL.

Loudly.

LOL ...

The first time I harnessed this thing really in consciousness was when I was in a dog training class and the trainer insisted it was good for my sweet, 6 month old GSD puppy to be brutally beaten so it would learn to lie down quickly on command "and never forget it as long as it lives ..."

Wow.

I can still *feel* the resonance of that lightning strike now.

I didn't scream, I didn't shout.

I took my puppy, left, and made it my business to put these people and everyone like them OUT OF BUSINESS over the next 15 years.

I was 21 at the time, didn't know ANYTHING about dog training, was absolutely nobody. But that one lightning strike gave me the backbone for what was to come and I can still feel that energy today, and I am very proud of what I've achieved and the legacy I've left to the dog training community.

Anger isn't a bad thing.

It can be a very dangerous thing for "them" if we ever found that out, on masse.

Like that guy said on "Sicko" - "The difference between the French and the Americans is that the Americans are terrified of their governement, and the French government is terrified of the people."
