a feeling of responsibility for ourselves makes it imperative to act. how can we sit by and place it on another if we see everything coming from our own perceptions?

i see your inquiries being more of a rhetorical nature. ask them into the silence, and wait patiently. the answers will come, but they make be unlike anything you've ever expected!

yes, and we who are willing to be reborn are reaping the harvest of this world's darkness.

what you say about forgetting is important. if we believe the other has 'made' us angry or hurt, then we won't forget, but arrogantly say that we release them-this time. does it bring freedom or the determination to be more wary of the next insult?

that is the only regret- neglecting the love that is in us and waiting to be experienced. all else is irrelevant.

You're right. Forgiveness is key. But forgetting must happen as well. If one forgives but does not forget, one carries the negativity of that action with them, which will block love from reaching its target.

what you write is wonderful,I am full of this when reading your words.I am missing when I am looking or understanding what you have.I dont need to try to be human for I am,and reading avant is extraordinary yet the truths are simple and seem very human.avant I think my replies are more trying to understanding thje feeling your thoughts are derived from an d not the expressions themselves.As to be are you happy?Free?complete?and this is still my own reflection.this has relevance in everything you write.yes I do not know what to think,and that also is meaning w3hat do I choose to accept..Do I want to be happy or do I want to be right,and from this learning being happy can be wrong and being clear may be happy but what does this have to do with reality if denying everything is the order to be free. I am not angry when writing this,I just wont grab hold of what you write and see it as suiting what I would have never thought of and gaining by seeing me understanding.I do understand much of this yet I dont feel this,or feel what this is,or from.I can question but pretending seems also to be denying what makes sense.people allign with what you say as compliments and this is good,but what are they honestly alligning with..
this goes on and I can say forth of anything,ther e is nothing personal for you to accept as guilt which seems hand with teaching these days.I am the feeling avant the words I try to express the feeling.I do not mean this in opposition or defense I am trying to feel,and understand.what I want to be,as you say be what you most want.
thank you avant-garde

Love, joy, peace, happiness and immortality
Are here with us right now, avant. Free will, which enables us to reach out and find those things, is also our undoing. When all we really have is this moment, immortality is only the idea of endless moments strung together. It is an idea, and as an idea it sits on the shelf of other ideas alongside pain and death, loneliness and fear. Our wonderful free will lets us choose among all the ideas on the shelf, even the worthless and rejected ideas of others that we may hate but cannot forget. Since we cannot forget, perhaps we should strap on those rose colored glasses and see all suffering as the birthing pains of the new reality that exists because we choose to see it that way.

One regret, dear world, that I am determined not to have When I am lying on my death bed
is that I did not kiss you enough!-- Persian mystic poet Hafiz

I was reminded when reading this that socrates in court stated that there had not been any truth spoken,yet the court even had him convinced he was guilty.when the chance from a guard and friend came for his escape he sat as to begin a new day with no fear.In thinking of a 3rd world war,who would choose to hold a weapon in love.it seems to me the fear is the inevitable choice to protect the very thing you project,being this has no real safety .guilt,fear,anger,attack.In many stories,legends,heroes,the attacking man/woman is praised for freeing the mind of the invasive feelings of what was fearfull,or the courage to face these fears and oppose the insecurity that persons accept was given to them.I believe I understand what you speak of on this,and as well I value feeling in being triumphant or overcoming,this is in the self I understand but the worldly play to me is there to experience this body.after the second world war had ended through the suffering struggle even to feel this freedom without the war,the experience itself is beyond truth and feeling,to transcend all of this seems to express this physical world as a means that it is only here so that it is not real in ourselves.JRR Tolkien has been a reading I have always enjoyed,and the worldly struggle and opposition to me seems to make it worldy freedom.this is hard to explain avant-garde and I know it is the individual who feels,but nature I see as also having a religious being that is this struggle and will to power.and if I walk hapily to my execution yes I am free and do not fear death but I have the energy to help set the world right as my individual means of freedom which is the difference god makes us even with the acceptance we all are one.this is a lot to comment on and I can go on and this going on may not be a truth but it is my expression from now which is gone.there was a philosopher in the past who stated that the search for truth was more important than truth itself,this may help to better what is difficult to say in this comment.

That is the key. We must act. So many, myself included just sit back and watch.
