Report 56

The topic for this week was Help.

Homework: "HELP!"

Calvino Rabeni:

How about "Help" as a topic for next time?
In whatever way is important to a person, in their practice
There are many sources
sometimes one looks/asks, sometimes refuses
What is it that helps one step outside the circle?
Is it just one's own doing / responsibility?
Trusting teachers? Faith? Study? etc.
What makes a difference?
What keeps realizations from turning solid and becoming barriers, etc. 
Support of a community?
The realizations go stale when held within the small self
Reflections from other intelligences?

Zen Arado: discipline
Calvino Rabeni: Discipline, also perhaps, grace, gratitude, resolve, surrender,...
Eliza Madrigal: Okay, and dreams can be looked at in this context also
Pema Pera: so this also addresses devotion, Calvino?
Calvino Rabeni: Yes it could Pema
Pema Pera: quite a topic, Calvino! :)
