Hi Joyce,

:-)

Your lollipop is your attachment :-)

- who loves ya baby? (remember Kojak)

Spiritual practice is the best way in. Out is more difficult.

After all it is nice - gods stay there for aeons . . .

To get in move towards the light. To get out move towards the dark.

Incidentally when you focus on the dark (in a special way) the light

increases . . .

Tantra starts off with nice deities and ends up with

- well I don't know - I only do Tara Practice

and Guru Rinpoches mantra.

Why? They are open practices.

As my present Guru said 'Tantra? That's witchcraft!'

(no wonder previously I had to train my own Guru)

Actually I'll tell you a story about a high empowerment

I went to - it was quite enlightening . . .

We went to the top of the temple and the woman in front of

me asked - 'Do you have to be a Buddhist to go in?'

Yes the monk assured her.

Not being a Buddhist or non-Buddhist I went in next.

After the usual bowing, chanting and lecture stuff,

and being hyped up . . .

.. . . some 'bodhisattva' volunteers were asked for, to do something or

other . . .

Nobody wanted to leave

- after all this was a precious highly sought after empowerment.

Eventually a few nuns agreed to do whatever it was

and Lobster left at the same time,

none the wiser

and none the stupider . . .

m m m . . . I'll do one or 108 000 and see where it leads . . .

Do you know the story about the sacred mantra

OM MANI PEME YAK?

LOL

In Sufism the 'Black Heart' - supreme non-attachment or fana-il-fana is

considered something worthwhile. How to stumble over that . . .

You remember that lollipop . . .
