Often the awakened person feels a feeling
of loyalty to the person or thing that created
the awakening
but the thing that was there at the
awakening
just happened to be there
and I don’t owe it loyalty to it’s opinions
If it was a conscious teacher
I have no obligations to the awakener
any opinions of the teacher
are the teacher’s
I’m there to learn
what the teacher teaches
I don’t care about the teacher’s opinions
I have my own opinions
So there was Stephen Gaskin
who went around talking about
awakening
and I was there and I was
awakened
so for the next 50 years it was
do I owe his opinions anything
because he had them
and the answer is for me
no, I don’t
The rain gets me wet
I don’t care what the rain thinks
Maybe it does think
Doesn’t matter
I got wet
