Phising "Invites": Please Stop!

I'm a spiritual businessman who spends most of my time in front of a PC developing websites for a living. Unfortunately I am the recipient through social "networking" organizations of "invites" to meet women on the Internet who are young enough in many cases to be my daughters(I'm 40-something...).
This may be a cry of desperation into the wilderness, but for Heaven's Sake, PLEASE STOP!!!
NONE of these women would even give this person a second glance...honestly, they would not at all be interested in this human individual, who has practised meditation­ and prayer for longer than many of them have been alive. If they were interested at all. The scammers/con-artists­ keep phishing and God knows what else on a 24-7 basis. Do you mean to tell me that the kind of women who ignored me in college are now suddenly going to fall over backwards coming running to shower me with love??? Forget it. Not going to happen.
There. I said it. I feel better now.

Perfectly Still

Monday during meditation awareness completely withdrew from the din of this world of thought and word and deed and became perfectly still. The hallucinated state of "I" awareness was perceived for what it was, a contraction and an action arising in Consciousness. If "I" am not this life-entity and all of the presumptions inherent in that, then the true matter of Awareness becomes apparent. If no one is present to observe the localized pattern of mind or memory, do they exist? I am perfectly willing to be permanently released from the hallucination of seperate "I" into the Ocean of Divine Being. Let it come quickly!

Embodied Spirit

These days a shift in my awareness has begun to take firm root. Many people perceive themselves as having "spiritual" experiences while in a human body/mind. For me, the opposite is the case: I am embodied spirit having the human body/mind experience. The essence of who I am will never be "in" a body/mind anywhere. In order to interface with this reality, I am obliged to assume the robes of human experience, which is always imperfect and subject to suffering. The point of view of embodied spirit does not make me special. However, it does give me an insight, and a clarity, from which I can proceed in the encounter with embodied experience. It frees me from a misunderstand­ing which has fueled countless religious illusions of man over the centuries. For this I am very, very grateful.
