The ego shouts at the wind and tries to blast it away to no avail. So we learn, and just surrender to what is; and surrender to the idea that time cleanses all as it passes by quickly. Time rushes by and old age is upon us. Better to surrender to it and let time cleanse us vs. "spitting ino the wind." Self patiently and lovingly helps self while the ego shouts at the wind, spits into it, and after surrender, the self becomes satisfied.
While still alive, after we surrender our selves to our parallel eternal existences vs. the ego's clueless wanderings, senseless dreams, and foolish paths it takes in life, we are satisfied and become the impartial observer. Together the Self and the self realizes that it doesn't really matter.
Don Juan tells Carlos Castaneda to always keep in mind the four types of defeat of most of mankind: Fear, Clarity, Power, and Old Age. The self is stalked by the Self on the Path With a Heart and and the self learns to softly surrender to Death, and is not defeated by Old Age. Without the Self and the self working together, the human animal will be defeated by old age.
It is how I finally managed to get the stuck "Airship" off the mountaintop... Something has happened, not sure what, but the "finally" ship moves. The self wanted to be in control, but only by continually surrendering to the Self was the ship unstuck. In this life, the Self and the reluctant self became "co-joined" commanders of the ship stuck on the mountaintop. I feel that I can travel like a warp-engined ship that time cannot defeat. The ship finally moves. It is an uneasy truce, but it seems to work. It took some "time" for that realization to catch up with this reality.
After realizing this, much that I thought was important, becomes unimportant. Death doesn't frighten, nor does aloneness. Please don't confuse this with Apathy. This feels very empowering...
