Hearing… and listening are two entirely different things.

I do not discern clearly. More often I hear, but I am unable to listen - instead I interpret. My discernment is muddled, and so I apologize. In recent months I have heard, but I did not listen - in fact I believe you told me directly, Jeff, even though it has been years since we have spoken. I was concerned because something told me to be. I understand that residing within is the answer to clarity - but I am content to be where I am now. I’m happy all are well.

It is good to see you on here again, Cal.  I look forward to reading more from you here.  I am leaving early tomorrow morning for Flagstaff, and the next day heading back to the ranch, so it might be a week or more before anyone hears from me.

Jeff… thank you. Most of this world will never know the gift you have given… and left for them here. You’re leaving us soon… and I write this behind tears. I want you to know that you changed my life in the only way that matters. Many lives from now I hold hope that I might show you the appreciation that you deserve. Thank you Jhanananda… they don’t know what they’re losing…

Thank you, Cal, for expressing your kind thoughts.  I am so glad you have reap some benefit from this forum.  My hope is many others will to, but that requires as many here can embody the message of the mystics and carry it forward.

On the ranch I caretake there is a male bear, which has not threatened me in the least.  I look forward to a day soon when what is left of this donkey will feed the bear for a few days.
