1358.0. "Quitting the Chase" by REGENT::WAGNER (Life Can Be One Continuous Orgasm) Thu Sep 13 1990 12:04

    Just give up your attachment and thus your exhausting chase for those
    things you believe you need and come to a complete stop.  Perhap if you
    dare, now that you've stopped, to turn around and look behind you, you will
    find those same things coming toward you. Now that you stopped, those
    things you have been wanting will be able to catch up to you.

    Hi Ernie,
    
    Hmmm, wonder if it is really that simple:
    
    <<Just give up your attachment and thus your exhausting chase for those
    things you believe you need and come to a complete stop.>>
    
    I think one needs to have the courage to examine those 'needs', find
    out the orginal cause for the imagined 'need', otherwise one might
    think they have 'given it up' only to find it resurfacing in another
    form.

    I think true "FREEDOM" comes out of stopping the chase. Its seems we
    are always chasing something,when,we havnt taken the time to see what
    we have already caught.
    
    Peace

    Some things are more fun to *chase* than to *catch*.  :-)
1358.4I'm all for slowing down...EXIT26::SAARINENThu Sep 13 1990 14:204
    There is nowhere to run once you see how *perfect* the 
    Universe is in getting you to this point in time and 
    space, and with an acceptance of this fact, what you
    choose to see is what you get.

    This quote seems to connect .0 and ,4 handily :
    
    "Since everything in life is but an experience in being
     what it is,
    
     having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection,
    
     one may well burst out in laughter."

    this quote of his?
    
    Pardon me while I burst into orgasm...

    re: .6,
    
>    Pardon me while I burst into orgasm...
    
    That last part was mine, I think the author was less influenced
    by the Sexual Revolution and more by Chinese politics and 
    philosophy :-).
    
      The quote appears in an interesting book about human
    self-empowerment entitled "Realizations," by William Guillory.
