This is from the Way of the White Clouds. Wonderful book! Most interesting anecdotes about re-birth. It's full of stuff like the following:
'A differenent kind of consciousness would create a different world around us, whatever the existing -or non existing - raw material of the universe might be. ... we cannot change the world other than through our consciousness - which is the world as well as that which transcends it: samsara and nirvana, bondage and liberation.'
Dr Akong was in the big seat today. He's got a different kind of consciousness from mine though you wouldn't know it to look at him. Shame Lama Yeshe isn't here. At a previous drupchen I was sitting feeling a bit agitated and restless when this picture of him appeared (my eyes were closed at the time) and he said: Why can't you just enjoy being here?
One of several weird scenes!!
Back to the gong bashing!!!
12:30 p.m.
The drupchen finished at noon which was a bit of a surprise. I went into the back temple and did a tai chi set. The difference sitting meditating for a couple of hour makes to tai chi has to be experienced to be believed. Now, it's lunch time and I haven't had anything to eat today. Lunch then go to the room for the rioting news on the World at One! What a great time I'm having already! No nicotine problems at all. It's pouring of course! Always a surprise when it aint down here!

How wonderful.
The only thing that's missing is the live cricket score. England are doing rather well.

Mingin'! The only thing that's missing here is the sunshine ... and the booze, the babes, the bob hope ....if it wasn't for the bliss ... Hotboy
Has the rioting reached there yet?
Correction: It was why can't you just be happy being here!! Hotboy
If it helps, I reckon I would know to look at just about anyone that they've got a different kind of consciousness from yours.
Albert? This is an impossible to understand comment. I don't think after several beers that I have any consciousness worth talking about. I can see why you bite your nails instead now. Hotboy
Hotters. Here's a clue. Normal folk's comments refer to something in the original post. E.g. "He's got a different kind of consciousness from mine though you wouldn't know it to look at him".
PS This comment refers to your last comment. Does that help?
Albert? This is a complete mystery! I don't see how I can be unconscious if I'm doing this. Hotboy
