Namaste,

 

My relatives are fine, they in the main have no pretensions or

spiritual superficiality. They have no problem with me in this regard.

 

If people look back over the essence of what I have said on here,

ignoring the replies to invective etc. They will find something,

although they may have to dive deep, pearls aren't near the shore.

 

Everything is karmic even my visit here. Sometimes pollyanna

spirituality of the comfortable middle classes needs a roast. Mushy

warm fuzzies about the sun coming up etc, all lower cakra stuff, may

be fine if you are wanting nothing. However to some the sun coming up

may represent another day of persecution, starvation or failed crops.

 

Perhaps my visit will in the end provide some perspective, to where

the truth lies. At least it was based on real life experience, as

rough as it gets, hunger to boot. Adios mis amigos......ONS..Tony.
