The circumstances and duration may vary, but in nearly every case there is an arduous "dark night of the soul" of some sort or another involved imo. http://come.to/realization http://www.atman.net/realization http://www.users.uniserve.com/~samuel/brucemrg.htm http://www.users.uniserve.com/~samuel/brucsong.htm ______________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 Yes Harsha, For some of us, the way to get the Heart open is to have it broken.

To know that love is for Love only... By a broken heart for which no "repair" is possible... A broken heart is the "hard" way whereas tantra is the "gentle" way. A broken heart for a youth is far easier to "overcome" than at middle age... Why did nobody tell "dear ones, the supply of life-energy is infinite yet limited so use it well?"

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 james traverse [nisarga] Saturday, October 20, 2001 4:13 PM Re: Diana, Eric, Mazie, Jill/Daughter of Fire Yes Harsha, For some of us, the way to get the Heart open is to have it broken. Love, James ************************************************* Yes, brother James. For everyone, it seems. Diana was talking earlier about the "Dark Night of the Soul". I have heard of that. I am not sure if any "Dark Night of the Soul" lasts just for one night. These can last for years. Isn't there a saying that during those times, it's hard to find one's foot prints (because the Lord himself is carrying the person). Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
