Welcome


Welcome to the English version of the blog brouillondeconscience ('draft of consciousness' when translated from French).


How do we reconcile our spiritual quest with the reality of our daily life?
Often, in our "search for the Self" we begin to see the world as illusory, therefore we start ignoring it.
Yet this world of transient events is no more than the beaming expression of the Self.
This blog attempts to express the attention to the transient and the recognition of its Source.

Except mind you don't have any other problem

Mrs. Rachel Saperstein has just sent the kids to school when the phone rings. "Is your husband's name Amos Saperstein?" asks a voice.
"Yes it is," she replies.
"This is the police," says the voice. "There has been an accident and we would like you to come and identify the body."
Mrs. Saperstein arrives at the morgue, and an attendant shows her a body covered in a white sheet. He lifts the sheet. "Was this your husband?" he asks.
Mrs. Saperstein's eyes widen. "Oy, oy, oy!" she cries. "How did you -- yes, that's my husband -- how did you ever get your sheets so white?"
Just a woman's mind! The husband is dead and she is worried about how you get your sheets so white!
Mind takes you away from reality every moment. Except mind you don't have any other problem, neither sin nor past lives' evil acts; nor has God written your destiny on your forehead or in the lines of your hand or in the constellation of the stars. Your whole problem is very simple if you understand: it is your mind constantly taking you away from existence.

"Eat, pray and love"

A very funny autobiography takes us to Italy, where Elizabeth Gilbert, a New York thirties, comes to escape the turmoil of a difficult divorce. She discovers the dolce vita and succulent Italian pasta. She then went to India to meditate and find inner peace in an ashram with ascetic rules (but with wacky and inspirational meetings). Last stop: Bali in Indonesia where she tries to find a new equilibrium.
 The movie will be released in France on the 22nd of september 2010. Will it be as funny as the book?

Humor

A humanist, christian fundamentalist, priest and a 12 years old kid are the 4 passengers travelling together on the same airplane. While they cross the snowy Himalayas, strong winds blow, so the pilot doesnt manage to cope, and the engine starts burning of overload, and the plane is about to crash.


Unfortunately, there is only one parachute on the airplane.

Since the pilot is a man of conscience and discipline, he makes an anouncement of the situation to the 4 passengers, telling them that he will not use the parachute and that they can decide whom of them would use the parachute.


The humanist says: "let the kid take the parachute, he has got all his life ahead of him"

The fundamentalist says: "fuck the kid, i will take the parachute"

Then the priest says:"ok, good idea, but do you think we have enough time?"
