If I overreacted to your comment above, sorry. Maybe I didn't "get it" but it seemed somewhat passive aggressive to me.
I want to say this. I think that enlightenment is the end of all mixed feelings. Until then, we will be stuck in mixed feelings over something or other because that is the nature of mind - it is fragmentation, broken up, muddy.
There is no clarity. There is the internal friction of thoughts battling each other. The waves on the water are constantly shaking.
An enlightened person, on the other hand, does not have these internal divisions. In a sense, she is whole-ly.
Does any of that resonate with you?
Namaste
I was responding to Alfie. If you notice the response was rite after his and I did not quote u.
Do we always have to make sense? Sometimes gooble gook breaks the monotony of a rational mind trying in vain to make reality fit our own prescribed thought patterns. Thus we have art and music.
The original question was posed in such a way to get responses--Not really to explain MY mixed feelings. Just wondered what people think about ambivalence. What I have found is that people have difficulty dealing with their ambivalence and will often split off part of their personality and the people that represent it in an attempt to make sense out of their own reality. We have even seen much of that happen here on the forum over the years.
Since being a corn ball is part of a projection of my own inner reality I doubt that u will see much reaction from Alfie. Yet your reactions are noteworthy.
