Take care, :-) Michael /join All paths go 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.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2002 Report Share Posted January 21, 2002 Hi Mike, Thanks for at least responding to the idea. Hey, if you can sum up detachment, happiness, or reality in a paragraph - please do! Perhaps narrowing the focus a bit to some aspect of one of these might make it more manageable. What about a focus on sadhana, with each writing briefly of just one spiritual practice they have found useful? That would offer some practical ideas to the readers. Moles are not so bad, you should see the size of the holes the groundhogs dig around my woods. Love, Gloria - MikeSuesserott (AT) t-online (DOT) de Monday, January 21, 2002 1:19 PM Hello Everyone!

I think most of them are listed at <http://nonduality.com/maga.htm>. The great thing about WIE is that it is a nonduality magazine and the distribution is amazing. It's right up there next to Yoga Journal and all those magazines found in good newsstands and health food stores. A high quality online magazine would be interesting. There'd need to be some money behind it. And it would need to generate revenue through ads and subscriptions. It would require a good e-commerce person and other key people associated with 'real' magazines. If it could grab a portion of the WIE audience looking for something more to sink their teeth into, that would be good. More realistically, a nice website could be put together with skills found among us. Owners of various lists, websites, publications, could contribute articles. Some articles could be commissioned. I made a couple of very small attempts at it. You know what was a real hassle? It's the stuff you don't think about till the time arrives. The biggest hassle for me was the fact that I couldn't put all my friends into every issue. How do you tell someone you owe the world that they're not in your magazine this month? That was difficult. That's why I stopped doing it. I wouldn't mind being part of another effort like that. There are about 50 lists, a handful of magazines, connections galore. It requires a staff. It requires someone to put together a staff and to organize the work so that the multitudes of hours of work get done and the finished product is great. And no one ain't getting paid. Anyway, those are some reality bites. It's an achievable challenge. Jerry > --- eblack101 <EBlackstead wrote: > > > > Harshaji & Friends, > > > > Harshaji. Nice to have you back.
