I have reached a point on my spiritual journey that requires a period of inner isolation, a more intense meeting with that ultimate reality that lies at the core, the heart and soul, of my being. I can afford nothing that will detract from that encounter, and that I fear includes my writings here on Gwynt. How long this period will last I do not know. I can only say that it will be for the foreseeable future. Beyond that I cannot tell, which is why Gwynt will remain open, just in case I feel drawn to continue to post at some future time.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking everyone who has commented here, people I now count amongst my friends, for your comments which have been interesting, intriguing, penetrating and thought provoking. I treasure them all. Whilst it has become necessary to divert my energies to my inner journey, I will still reserve time to read your posts, and comment even if more sparingly than I have done so up until now. You have become too important to me to turn away from all contact with you.
I think I will leave matters there.
I wish you well on this journey, Tom! Thank you again for sharing your explorations here and look forward to more in the future.
ReplyDeleteMay your sails be filled with the breath of success, dear Tom!

ReplyDeleteHear hear to all the above! I add my voice to all who wish you well and who are with you on the road, wherever it may lead.
ReplyDeleteHi Tom,
ReplyDeleteStrangely enough, I had this intense feeling, from reading your last post that it would your last for some time.
I guess part of the reason maybe was your had explored your feelings and logic to a point where it seems time to stop and contemplate and let was is to be to be, so to speak.
In that regard I send you my best washes and ask that our universal creator in the light of that unconditional love and fulfilment, will keep you well and able to follow on in you’re on your intended spiritual journey.
Along the way don’t forget to smell the roses.
Best wishes
I heartily agree with all the above.

ReplyDeletefare forward!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your comments and best wishes.
ReplyDeleteThe consequences of your decision, I think, will affect us in many different ways.
ReplyDeleteStay well, Tom.
Ellena; None too painful I trust. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel certain that your silence will be fruitful. You remember your post on solidity and illusion? I've been trying to write a post sparked by that, but it fizzled out and I realized that like you I needed to go somewhere without words before coming back and being able to say anything. It is all to easy to fall into the age-old ruts of spiritual clichés and other people's interpretations, and you end up with the paint colours getting all mixed and muddy, so to speak, because the words and phrases and ideas even are so worn and shop-soiled. So we need to immerse ourselves in what's beyond words. And then, coming back down the mountain so to speak we shall let the words look after themselves, not to explain or define, but in some magical way we don't understand point to the thing that we cannot say.
ReplyDeleteVincent; That refreshing mountain air is so vital, and vitalising, for the spirit. This is a wonderful comment based on experience. My thanks.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the solitude, Tom, but do return to us. We'll miss you.
ReplyDeleteBruce; Thank you. Even the requirement for solitude, at least long term solitude, may not be written in stone.
ReplyDeletebest of luck in your journey, tom. you will be missed!
ReplyDeleteThank you Agnieszka.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, friend. Hope the journey leads to meaningful conclusions.
ReplyDeleteMy thanks to the Geezers.
ReplyDeleteTom! My thoughts of you and prayers for you as you continue this stretch of your journey with the lights doused. I think that, somehow, your willingness to do this will redound to our benefit. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePeter: Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I need that support.
