I love your mind and the way you think. What I want to say here is that I find a myriad of voices within me. Maybe I'm just peculiar that way.

But I do get a sense of what you're talking about. It's like on one level there is who-we-have-always-thought-ourself-to-only-be and on another level there is a broader, more integrated, more conscious viewpoint. And after the second birth we often rise to that other level and discover how rich it is, what a large landscape it encompasses, how wise we are and how much more easily we can now discern the pecularities and permutations of our minds. It's so much easier to sort it all out now.

I still feel as though I am a multiplicity, a myriad of voices and viewpoints that are all quite definite and distinct, one from another. I can switch from one to another in a flash, and often do. I wonder whether others experience themselves this way also. Do you?

But now I have a viewpoint that encompasses all these multiplicities. Now I see what I've never been able to see before. There is a discerning intelligence at work here that provides an incredible relief from having to be ONLY who-I-once-thought-myself-to-only-be.

And the dreaded Goomba, too, is embraced and loved and integrated somehow into all of who I now AM. A wholeness is emerging here that has never seen such a all-encompassing view before.

I love it! Cassie
