>> This wonderful earth in this wonderful universum is the place for

us to do that... THIS IS IT, the place and the moment for the

miracle of SELF to be recovered.

I invariably discover less than unconditional love (vilification)

towards something or someone.

Remember though, Joyce, no blame to self and others is needed. In

fact blame in any form backfires and recreates the memory of our

first recoil and acquisition of suffering. <<

Ah, Wim...well, I often find myself caught in the trap of blaming

myself or someone else. If I am suffering, it must be someone's

fault, musn't it? (I say that lightheartedly, because I know that

when I am blaming, I am believing it IS someone's fault, either my

own, or someone elses, and I am generally much harder on myself. Yet

I know that the blaming and/or the need to place blame is just part

of the suffering...and now I am tripping myself up on my own words.)

I am feeling the urge to sing and only wish I could share that part

of myself with (all of) you. Shanti ~ Linda

I really loved learning about the Gopurum (figure appearing to bear

the weight of the temple...). This truly spoke to me. I surely feel

like one of these myself at times, and then I "see" or "know" or

whatever it is that occurs, and it evaporates...until it comes back.
