I have felt little "glimmers" of what you describe and talk about but ... I'm not there yet. I'm envious of the stage you are at and what you know and understand. I need to read, and re-read this post!

Excellent post! I've always believed that networking is valuable but, as you said, it must be authentic. I love people so taking an interest in them is easy. I think that's the key ... not getting to know someone for what they can do for one's career, etc. ... but getting to know them for the value of simply knowing another.

Small Footprints,
I feel that we are one the same wavelength about people. I have been graced with a gift to love people and look at them as people first ; not what they can do for me ? One book that helped me out with developing networks is the speed of trust by stephen m.r. covey. It had helped me develop trust with people effectively.

Brilliant! I especially like the one about reducing self-inflicted junk mail. I'd add to that to reduce any kind of junk mail. It's the "green" thing to do. :)

Good point! I don't get as much junk mail as most people (in fact, I hardly
get any). I'm not sure why, perhaps someone has flagged me on a list as a
person who never responds and isn't worth marketing to =)
I know there are various companies that, for a fee, will remove you from
direct marketing mailing lists. I can't vouch for them myself, perhaps I'll
review some in the future

All thoughts mean nothing, no thought will ever understand this and even when the thoughts are seen as false, there is still nothing to understand since there is nothing but this life. Nobody understands this life, the mind-thoughts wants to understand it and that is the only problem.
There is this awareness that watches every thought, that ever-present awareness is who you are. That consciousness of being aware, is who you are, that's all. That is the all of everything. The mind is nothing, yet everyone puts all their energy into thinking. Thinking just happens, yet it means nothing.
That is all enlightenment is, is realizing that the thoughts mean nothing. Stop giving energy to thoughts as something and you have enlightenment. The thoughts are what causes the seeking, the thoughts are what causes the suffering, the thoughts are what causes separation in yourself since the thoughts are content comparing itself to content. Just be aware of all this content without labeling it through the mind.
This is really just a simple thing. The words and how to describe it make it complex because the mind brings forth more thoughts about the words. It's just as simple as allowing the thoughts but not minding the thoughts, that is what enlightenment points to, that's it.
Nothing to be envious of, it's just a simple thing that anyone can do. Have thoughts but see them as nothing but thoughts. Have thoughts and be aware of thoughts.. be aware.
