Hey James!
How are you and Sundari? Nothing much to talk about from my side. The “Monty” character remains a something of a seeming disappointment that is happening in the distance so to speak. Same as always. I can say that I genuinely love, like, admire and respect “Monty”, but holy cow I am also sooooo bored with that identity/appearance. Always the same old guy, seeing life in the same old way. Actually Monty’s life is slowly getting straightened out, as much as that matters. These days I don’t experience a constant bliss or happiness per se, but I do experience pretty steady detachment and usually well-being, often ease and gladness. I continue to study and practice daily, and am more sincere than before about cleaning up Monty’s karma, actually getting off my ass and doing the work. I continue to practice discrimination like my life depended on it.
Hi Monty,
If things get any better I’m not sure how I’ll stand it. Sundari arrived on Friday, none to worse for wear for thirty hours in the transportation grid, which brings me great joy. The weather is great and I’m working on commentaries in a new style. I’ve attached a sample for your enjoyment. I’m happy to hear that the Monty guy is noticeably distant and sorry that you’re bored with him, but hey, sympathize with me. Transparent, distant and flimsy as he is, the ghostlike James cartoon has been appearing and disappearing on the horizon of my life for fifty years! However, I’ve gone beyond boredom and moved to amusement. I’m quite fond of him these days. He keeps himself cheerful serving his friends and smelling the roses. Yesterday he said he was happy to be reborn and come back to this beautiful planet and its wonderful inhabitants to sing the Lord’s name. I must say that I’m also enjoying Isvara’s virus charade immensely, particularly our fearless leaders antics, which fill me with wonder. Having said that be sure to vote for Biden. You’re in a swing state. I think the world could stand a bit of dull. Enjoyable as they are initially, farces have a very short shelf-life. Maybe you could gin up a group and have a rally before the election now that you have a spanking new two–wheeler. BIKERS FOR BIDEN! has a nice alliterative ring.
I’m happy to hear that Monty’s life is sorting out. It seems the noble bit is hard at work. Discrimination is the lifeline. At some point his view of life will change and you will no longer be bored with him. He’s a great guy and has an amazing destiny. Anyway, too bad you’re not ignorant any more; the guru business is a bit slow these days.
Love,
James
