Dearest Coach and Fellow Class Mates –Each and everyone of you:
Even “Silence” Can Be an “UnJoy Creating Behavior”!
Without inner ‘self-corrective’ contrition being silent in Classroom
Talk can “still” be “Personality” hollowly ‘screaming’ while resounding
through these would be hermeneutic halls by ones latest spoken words.
I have yet to see the likes of a “single” player in this class that
could possibly be the slightest bit ‘justified’ in requesting, let-
alone demanding a higher level of training or practice in this
particular field of play.
This type of training is in itself an empiric entity (not so unlike
other esoteric schools of its similar type) that has a “Miraculous” way
of weeding-out those that are not yet ready, or simply unwilling
to “do” the work. Ironically one of the main ways this occurs is ‘one’
suddenly “thinks” there’re above it all, and loose interest and time
for the work. For these ‘types’ not receiving the instant gratification
of ooey- gooey feelings that pacifies the personality sooner or later
abandon the challenging action of facing themselves for one essentially
ridiculous reason or another.
This is all true for one “important” reason, because “IN THIS
CLASSROOM” (or any others of its similar type) together “WE” become an
organic whole, whether that be a “Stinger Circle” or a “Circle of
Love”. This means that in a holistic sense not one student can advance
beyond that of the “whole”. And “new-comers” are always its “Life
Blood”. Though few will ever remain for the long hall. Thus the
quantity of “True Mindfulness Warriors” will always remain small.

PS “Alright Coach, “this time” [[[maybe]]] it was serendipitous that
post was lost…he, he, he.
Coach I have only had time to read less than half of your above post
and still write and post while wholly inspired, and in time to get it
done before the Holiday break.
