Myrna:
I have been angsting over selling the old house that was part of my grandmother's estate, & trying not to get too obsessed over it.
It was one of the worst mistakes I ever made. The house I am living in (also estate property) is in foreclosure, & I only got $14,000 for the other house because it was in poor condition, so I can't use the money to pay off the mortgage. I will not actually have access to the money until the estate is settled, & I might lose up to half of it to the government because my deceased mother, who was on gov't welfare, supposedly owns half of it, from beyond the grave.
A rather morbid affair, I would say. But then, things connected with the government usually are.
I only agreed to sell the house because it had back taxes which I thought I could not pay, not realizing, because my lawyer didn't tell me, that the taxes could be reduced due to the property's imperfect condition. (I am going to look for a new lawyer.)
But I should have known better, because it /felt/ wrong, & that feeling in my gut is always right.
Video-Mania: We build you with perfect radar, & you don't use it.
I asked my headmates if they blame me for this, & got this answer from my evidu, Randi Nadir:
Nadir: One does not blame. Not ever. Not anyone.
Myrna: Not even the Conglomeration? (Our name for the machinelike entity/system that Nadir &co.rebelled against, another universe's Supreme Being.)
Nadir: Not even It. One opposes It. One fights It. But one does not blame. It is what it is. And It became what it is through evolution. As did we.
Myrna: A=A, eh?
Nadir seems to have a Bhavagad-Gita-like attitude of fighting without attachment. Or maybe he's just a real grown-up, in comparison with which most human beings, including myself, are still teenagers at most.
I was just reading s/t about how Lucifer's sin was the refusal to praise, & connecting it with Nadir's refusal to blame, & the Bhavagad-Gita's advice to be unaffected by either praise or blame....
Nadir is sitting there grinning.
Are praise & blame sort of the same thing?
Someone: Both ascribe to the other causality. It is to Newtonize reference. [i.e. to forge a separation between subject & object.]
So, one should be impervious to either giving or receiving praise or blame?
As you may have noticed, my soulbonds can pull me out of mundane misery pretty easily. There is a larger context to all this...
