Kuba: Thank you Vineeto, I deeply appreciate your service
Hi Kuba,
You are welcome. You do understand that Richard’s quote about ‘service’ had been referred to your choice and the ramifications of your deep “desire is to be innocence personified”?
Kuba: All this that I have been doing (with your invaluable assistance) the past year reminds me of what Richard wrote:
Richard: To have the requisite determination to apply oneself, with the diligence and perseverance born out of pure intent, to the patient dismantling of one’s accrued social identity indicates a strength of purpose unequalled in the annals of history. It is no little thing that one does and it has enormous consequences, not only for one’s own well-being, but for humankind as a whole. (Richard’s Resumé)
Kuba: I have come a long way though because now I know that what ‘I’ deeply desire is to be innocence personified, and furthermore I see that the ‘wisdom’ that ‘I’ have lived on all ‘my’ life is a damnation to never-ending suffering.
I fully agree that what you have done “indicates a strength of purpose unequalled in the annals of history” and you can wear this compliment without flinching.
From the perspective of innocence any suffering of a single human being is too much and any ‘wisdom’ promoting and perpetuation suffering is intolerable. Your native intelligence, determination and sincerity have successfully guided you through the weird and wacky maze of the human condition to bring you now to the brink of allowing to happen what ‘you’ wanted all your life for the benefit of your body, that body and everybody.
Kuba: This “too good to be true / I am not good enough” seems to have gone now. I no longer feel like a heretic when I allow that to be innocence personified is my destiny. It no longer feels taboo to proceed towards perfection and purity. (link)
Ah, I am pleased to hear – you have left ‘humanity’ behind. Besides, how can you be a heretic to something which only exists in the human psyche!
Richard: And just as ‘I’ suffer because ‘I’ exist (suffering is ‘my’ very nature) ‘humanity’ suffers because it exists (suffering is very nature of ‘humanity’) and thus a virtue is made out of suffering because the survival of ‘humanity’ is at risk … hence the taboo on escape.
Yet ‘humanity’ has no existence outside of the human psyche. (Richard, List B, James3, 7 Nov 2002)
It is delightful conversing with you.
Cheers Vineeto
