Eavesdropping on a debriefing summit

Spirit: hello, my friend

Mind: whaz up

Spirit: did you know that thought, word and deed work synergistically to produce the seed of impeccability from which yields the intention

Mind: Not necessarily

Spirit: Farfetched?

Mind: Obviously

Spirit: Well let’s test the hypothesis on that one

Mind: Let’s do it!

Spirit: to start off, how about a tall glass of lemonade

Mind: I was just about to make some

While mind is making the lemonade…

Spirit: ever noticed, mind….

Mind: Notice what?

Spirit: That only human species that says ‘thank goodness it’s Friday’ and ‘holy cow, it’s Monday already!’ Why is that?

Mind: how am I suppose to know that, eh spirit.

Spirit: Think; common you can at least try to imagine why in the human species a lot of dying happens on Monday morning

Mind: Hey Spirit, how do you do that?

Spirit: What?

Mind: Pull my legs

Spirit: I don’t pull your legs; you walk. I just asked you one simple question and already you are changing the subject

Mind: Give me a hint, just one hint and I can probably nail down an explanation that will satisfy you.
Spirit: Okay. Have any animal you know ever wake up and question what day it is. Do plants and trees keep track of time or schedule their lives by the clock? Or race around trying to meet some deadline. Have you met a crazy zinnia or mad cat?

Mind: What’s your point, spirit; what does that have to do with people dying mostly on Mondays. Heck, I am doing all I can to help them stay busy

Spirit: That is just it!
There is little to no occasion to just be, to relax, to slow down so they can give me a chance to show them true bliss of the truth about living, real living. Many die without ever having really lived.

Mind: How do I teach them to do that?

Spirit: That’s another thing. This is not something that is institutionalized, it is intuitionalized
You see, you need me and I need you. Just like that lemon needed the honey and water and some ice and your help in making such lively lemonade.

Mind: Mmm. You really got my attention. I wonder if the lemon tree and the honeybee knew what a delicious tonic they make

Mind: Another glass, I mean another glass of lemonade?

Spirit: You and me can make a great team if you help me express what I cannot explain and quit wanting to explain everything you know you better leave well alone. That would ease the conflict and make us both work on common ground. That is why I was wondering if you are up to renegotiating our agreement. We work well when we are playing the right role in life, together.

Mind: Deal. Let’s drink to our interesting summit

Spirit: Cheers Mind! It is a pleasure doing business with you, too!
