As I jumped in the car to pick up my kid, I found myself musing on Connee's
dharma re her mom...and was reminded of something I heard many years ago
from Ken Keyes that is so much in the same vein.
Ken said, if I recall, that everyone is always doing the best he or she can
at any given moment to feel loved and empowered.
And that would include not just the best of us, but the rest of us...even
the Adolph Hitlers, the Ted Bundys, the Charlie Mansons in our midst.
I have to say that it is only when I deliberately and firmly ground myself
in ATI omega point consciousness space that I can know this experientially
rather than intellectually. And what a powerful knowing this is for those
of us who have experienced extended periods of crazymaking behavior on the
part of our primary caretakers.
And what a powerful deal it is to be able to look at exactly what IS
without having to flinch and turn away, and yet look with such magickal
buddha eyes that we can see even such a thing as ethnic cleansing or Susan
Smith driving her babies into the lake, and recognize that behind the act
which is evil and heinous, there is this primal desire to experience love
and power.
Big dharma. Big. Powerful. Alchemically transmutes lead into gold.
What a pivot. :o)
