Being with this movie recently was a great reminder to me that there are no mistakes. It is a movie about Mother/daughter/family/friend relationships. Worth while Watch!
Has my favorite actress Vanessa Redgrave, and Glenn Close, Meryl Streep, with Natasha Richardson who died recently in skiing accident. Great learning for me.

What struck me about Natasha Richardson's death is my illusion(fairy-tale) in real life that she had it all. And my buried belief(infatile) when you are a beautiful person and have it all this is not supposed to happen.
What's neat is my adult takes the reins more quickly by stepping to center-stage and says "Oh please lets cut the BS as this is real life"! Thanks, VLL

Vonda,

Cutting through beliefs, ideas and opinions clears the way for transformation.

From Rumi:

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense.


Good work with the movie, Vonda!

Thank you . . .

Beautiful tie in Tom with the Rumi poem.

Vonda, good to see that you are able to see the delusion in "who 'has it all'" and what that means.
The reality is we ALL have it all, we just don't recognize it. And therefore we cannot appreciate what we have.
Good work.

I had a great example regarding the belief in collective of this concept of being rich/poor. Also the victim. I was soo grateful to this Dear Soul as I have the greatest teachers who come to me sometimes in droves. She is dynamo(I recognized she has that same passionate drive that I always have had and now own/use more appropriate per my behavior) and I "should" have recorgized the signs as when I met her(I got it shortly afterwards) we became fast friends and she liked the hoopponopono idea and started to practice it. I "NOW" get it when people come(Not just so-called negative,also so-called positive) to me it is "not forever" and maybe not more than an "instant" of time together. And its Okay Due to I am centered in my own security(grounded and connected in my heart) of who I am and what I own inside which is a rich treasure trove of passion,life experiences, insight, growing authetic depth, etc, and this deeply inquisitive ability to intergrate and be in the wise student mode. In further discussions/activities with that person, we had a commitment to go to the Hot Springs. And of course I experienced expansion/contraction also in the situation. Such great learning opportunities. She stated I just can't believe that Obama! He said he was not going to raise taxes and the people over 250,000.00 are not getting taxes raised. Then that self continued with and look at all these cigarette taxes he has put on us. He has found a sneaky way to do it. And you know it's not the rich that will pay it's the poor because most of them are smokers.
I was so grateful I recognized "all my dynamics" in play here and quickly recognized my judgement I wanted to put forth in thoughts and words. Instead it came to me immediately that we are all rich. It's just not always in what the little mind/infaltile aspects of illusion has projected it to be. AND this includes myself in the past probably millions of times(the cement took hold this time).
Before our conversation ended she said I will need to bring my grandson and we will need to be in the childrens pool. Now in the past I would have gotten my self into an entangled web with that one. I did enjoy the Hot Springs and lots of interactions while observing people showing me my still more buried information relating to the ego, importance Blah! Blah!
Some insights I see in the past few weeks. For the first time Is I do enjoy children at times, a big change for me. I assume this is because I'm not lodged in the child like in the past. The adult is usually driving the car sooner or later)! I also recognize I am not so needy for companionship that I would set myself into my prior victim situation, then be angry later and wonder why me! Sounds like story and also a dazzling piece of gold for me.Thanks, VLL
