GRASP THE PRINCIPLE OF TWO WITNESSES.

It is one of the most important sutras, one of the very fundamentals of inner alchemy. Let it sink deep in your heart. It can transform you, it can give you a new birth, a new vision, a new universe. It has two meanings; both meanings have to be understood.

The first meaning: there are two kinds of witnesses. One kind is the people that surround you. You are constantly aware that you are being watched, witnessed. It creates self- consciousness in you. Hence the fear when you are on a stage facing a big crowd. Actors feel it, poets feel it, orators feel it — and not only the beginners but even those who have wasted their whole life in acting. When they come on the stage a great trembling arises in them, a great fear, as to whether they will be able to make it or not.

With so many eyes watching you, you are reduced to an object. You are no more a subjectivity, you have become a thing. And you are afraid because they may not appreciate you. They may not feed your ego, they may not like you, they may reject you.

Now you are in their hands. You are reduced to a dependent slave. Now you have to work in such a way that you will be appreciated. You have to buttress their egos, so that in response you can hope they will buttress your ego.

And thank you for making that clear for me.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

‘The Siphonaptera’ is a nursery rhyme, sometimes referred to as ‘Fleas’:

Big fleas have little fleas,
Upon their backs to bite ‘em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
and so, ad infinitum.

Sometimes a second verse appears, with lines such as:

And the great fleas, themselves, in turn
Have greater fleas to go on;
While these again have greater still,
And greater still, and so on.

Er!! It was a joke, a quip, in response to my joke/quip to Tan.

“Big fleas have little fleas,
Upon their backs to bite ‘em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
and so, ad infinitum.” (Frank at 12.12 pm).

You really show up as a (´wanted´) expert, Frank, no doubt about it.

But there is a ´world´ outside flea-market-businesses, I´d say – no matter how many experts are buzzing around.

Good news (or (?) promises (?), insights (?), delusions (?) ), and what would you ´expertise´ about this?

Cheers, all!!!

What’s your mum making you for dinner tonight, then?
