ooh I enjoyed reading this one too! It reminded me of our talk about "what Joy looks like"
Thank you for posting

"Language is an expression of form - and our true being transcends all form -
so as soon as a single word is spoken, we have automatically deviated from the deepest truth.

(...)

The Dao De Qing opens with the words: "The Dao that can be spoken of is not the true Dao. The name that can be named is not the true name."

As soon as we put ideas to reality, we are automatically incorrect about its full nature. As soon as we open our mouth and say something about what it is, we are limiting it. As soon as we give reality a structure, we have reduced it to the structure we have named. Thus, nothing written... is the Truth. I can only write in the shadow of form, and then the mind of the reader can understand in the shadow of form.

The greater reality of Being transcends all form, so no set of forms can fully speak to it. (...)

Still there is great value in pursuing intellectual understanding of both our local reality and the larger spiritual context! Our experience here is real, even though it is but a shadow of the far greater reality.
"

Let's say a person says:
"I am the light. It's my desire to be a light unto the world: To shine a light wherever i go. To be the light among people who know me." - and so forth.

But if we decide that "I am the light" but we find ourselves in a place where there is nothing but the light...
Let's say that we're a candle in the Sun,
Well we're there all right, along with the 50 billion cajillion other candles, and we can know that we are the light, but we can't experience ourselves being the light.

And if it's our hearts desire to experience ourselves,
not just to know conceptually, but to experience ourselves, experientially -
if that's our heart's desire, we're going to actually call forth, or at least search around to see if anywhere in the contextual field, there is this thing called the darkness.
And if we find the darkness we will move toward it or even co-create it with those around us, who have the same desire to be the light, in order that we may experience ourselves as the light amidst the darkness.

The HS is literally arguing with Bashar for her limitations, and he doesn't let her through, with it. In the end she states:
I could say that I'm pretty much happy like I mean... not 100%, but 90% of the time I'm happy with what I have, what I do, so...

Bashar:
All right that's fine if if you want to stay at 90%! Stay at 90%, that's fine. Stay at 90%... you're doing just fine.

However, let me remind you that in the definition of ecstasy there is no such thing as a concept of "just fine"!

So, if you want to remain just fine, that's fine. If you want to be ecstatic... BE ECSTATIC!

HS:
Yeah, but how possibly a human being can be ecstatic every... like every day of their life?

Bashar:
Why not? Why not? Well maybe you have a misunderstanding of how ecstasy needs to be expressed? When we talk about excitement, we don't mean that you're jumping up up and down with your hair on fire all the time. Excitement CAN be experienced, Passion CAN be experienced as a quiet, peaceful state of balanced meditation, too! I'm not saying that the physical act is representative of excitement. But being in the vibration of your true self, in that passionate energy, and allow it to be expressed in all the ways that it can be expressed, will allow you to experience a constant stream of ecstasy in a variety of expressions!

that made me laugh!

I'd like to think that liking yourself is sort of like the Emotional Guidance Scale - you work your way up. So even though 10/10 is ideal, if you're not there yet, it's ok too. You ARE 100% pure honey - nothing you do can put poop in that honey haha! - and if it takes a little working your way up to see and feel your self-love, that's ok - you're on your way, tasting the sweetness that is there all along more on and more as you go
