Hi Jill,

thanks for your message. In case you'd like to read some of Tolstoy's

great masterpieces online, here is a link:

There is in his writings, IMHO, an undercurrent of great spiritual

force; one can't read Tolstoy without wanting to become a better

human being. My favorite among his novels is "Resurrection".

()Hi Michael and Linda, Thank you both for these

stories. Michael, I was thinking of the Tolstoy story while I was

out running this morning. Tolstoy's irony is so heartbreakingly sad

and funny. I was thinking about my own preoccupation with kundalini

processes -(why am i sad? why can't I have some more of those

blinding ecstatic states? Why does this process bring ongoing

trouble?, and on in this pathetically self-absorbed vein) and the

Tolstoy story gave me a fresh laugh and step out of myself. Jill

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
