I had another insight to explain this.

The ego is very emotion and mind based, calculating and prone to manipulation both ways, and is insecure.  (first attention intent based)

The observer is heart based, and is the medium for acts of power, and assuredness.

A balanced being bridges these, and the first attention intent fades in importance.



Beautiful poetic description, sir.

Yes I agree and very importanly said the first attention fades in importance. It certainly has for me. Well said nemo.

Sir - I don't think I qualify Skyfower  :-[ blush

Yes the first attention and the intent that comes with it was the most significant effect, which was also the biggest affect.

Thx for the positive feedback

Now
With the bridging of lands
land swept abyssmal
From vantage point none
Although prone to the belief
Swept through once again
this light fell upon
It got in the eyes
So it perceived its perceived itself
And it makes me apply it to the setting
Yet become aware
Yet not still
Stationary i try to pin it with my voice
Yet shreik for its use
And i can not conceive
Why
So i try and try and try

Oh where
Was
I
May it rain again and again
i like the name cherry arc

Very nice perception. I am unsure what the choice is for the name. Would be nice if he would enlighten us. But if he prefers mystery I can accept that too.

Great timing on this topic , i have been rattled for a few days by an incident . I am not sure if correct , yet i will say , in the establishing of a peaceful space or balance , sometimes it feels something or somebody will make a bid for us "it" or our peace .
The most beautiful times can be interrupted by intense disturbances , which have contrasted and abruptly shake that peace.
Being caught off gaurd .
A response i notice was one of a closed stance " digging heels in " when confronted with an seeming absurd emotional accostament.
This leads to a situation of tension which makes for " make or break" usually on my emotions and bodily state .
and leaves no room for movement having esablished the seeming stage for which the following act to play out .
Damn triggers too quick .
We can be caught in seeing , obseredly elsewise , or acting off balance . And the balance being struck to ignite action from a more panoramic avanue .

I Defiantly know what your talking about, For me the emotional accosts happen a lot with a specific type of person I usually hang out with, More of the extroverted or those which are emotionally repressed. I usually accept the blows and let them determine the type of justice I will deliver. Most often reacting or acting out in return is usually more detrimental then the initial blow itself. Which I assume is the intent of the blow. For these types Where you don't feel an immediate and Huge damage of energy, Silent justice or triumph is usually the best.

I know exactly what you mean - it happens to me, and I feel it rising up inside me. It is a real skill to pull out into the observation position, and ask, "What on earth are you doing?" Except that seems so limp, when being thrust forward in the heat of the moment into a really outrageous reaction delivers a delicious sense of satisfaction, usually regretted for a long time afterwards.


It does in fact, and I have sometimes attributed this to acts of flyers, although I know this to be a delicate subject for some, I have a little interest in them. But I once saw them working together to steal awareness. And doing a crazy dance is usually the best option, but not always advisable. So it is usually best to subliminate it, and channel it into something else, I find. Yes dealing with the regret is hard sometimes, but its important though to maintain the equilibrium or balance of actions.
