This is pretty personal, but just yesterday I was dealing with a scare that sent me to a clinic for STD screening. Lovely, right? Well, a former partner who I haven't quite gotten over was with me, being so supportive (and getting tested as well) and the nurse taking my blood said something that gave me a cosmic kick in the ass. "You know honey, sometimes God does things that tell us to wake up." Yeah, it was a shot of espresso and a smack upside the head. And afterwards I hung out with the dude who took me in, had Indian food, and a great time. How's that for bizarre, reconnecting with someone after THAT? Way too appropriate again.

Do I have to be stuck in my spirituality in order to get asked to head into the jungle with a group of aggressive ladies? Well, if I had to have a group of ladies take me into the jungle, I would hope they all dressed Goth,(no whips or painful toys...not into that), crystal blue, gray or green eyes, black tinted hair, and very red lipstick, red finger nails and very cool boots! And who also knew exactly what they wanted and weren't afraid to tell me out loud! FOR THE LOVE OF THE UNIVERSE, WHAT DID THE WOMAN SAY TO HIM!!!????

Like Berkley, and from my own personal experience, it just makes me laugh now when the Divine comes in and totally rocks our perception of what is "spiritual" or "sacred." Thanks for sharing the story! Oh, and I too really want to know what the Teacher said to him!! That’s fuckin’ awesome!

Thank you so much for sharing... It does seem like there are continous themes (or situations) that come into our lives that beg us to wake up! and dare us to shift our perspective. I know from my own personal experience that it usually takes lots, and lots, and lots of these occurances before I finally "get it". To me it doesn't really make a difference what the teacher said to him b/c it wouldn't resonate with us like it did to him. I'm sure it was so personal and private that only he would find it earth shattering... Rock on girlfriend! What a profound story!

Just asking for it out loud? Or being more aware of messages that could be being sent to you? I find I often ignore people or events that are probably suggesting new things to me - afraid of change! Afraid of getting something wrong... Brave monk. How do you go about inviting a change like this? Just asking for it out loud? Or being more aware of messages that could be being sent to you?

She said: "the Buddha's meaning can be known through symbols and actions, not through words and books" according to Miranda Shaw in Passionate Enlightenment.
