Roumanian Students Need Help

[Guest guest]

This is an email that we received and I thought it worth sharing. It

presents a chance to help fellow Inner Travelers......

 

Dear friends,

 

My name is Eduard Diaconu and I am from Romania.I

write you in the name of a small group of students

living here.These days we haved the chance to sail on

the Internet,and,among all those wonderfull things

there,we have found a link to you.And,after visiting

your web-site,we were truely amazed by your vision

over the human spirit.

We are some kind of a research and study group,

trying to evolve our spirit,mind and body. Saddly,here

in Romania it is almost impossible to rise from the

common mass, especially when you use methods wich are

generally considered "unorthodox".They have such a

limited vision,and anything which they can not

understand,they classified it as some kind of "heresy"

and never look at it again.You just can not imagine

how refractory and rigid they are.But,you can imagine

our struggle against the system, our fight for

freedom.

After a long struggle, we have succeeded to open a

public library. With some help from a local counselor,

we have officialized our group as a Non Guvernamental

Association. Then, to open this library was relatively

easy. Though, we still have some minor problems in

finding a proper location for the library. At the

moment, it is located in a pretty old building, but we

hope that we will find a more propper location in

short time. Well, we have just started this

"adventure", and those small problems are almost

innevitable. What was really important was done.

At the moment, our patrimony consist in just six

hundred books and almost two hundred magazines, plus

some video tapes and music on CD-s and audio tapes.

The subjects of all those includes almost all kind of

spiritual traditions, from Gurdjieff's teachings until

Carlos Castaneda's way. And, even if almost half of

books are in english, we have more than 15 visitors

per day. We were very surprised by that. People are

really interested, especially in eastern traditions.

We have such a great desire to read and study your

works, but, you see, we have also a big problem.

Unfortunatelly, we are just students here, and I can

assure you that you will never ever want to be a

student here. Our life is so precarious. We are rich

in spirit, but the wind is the one who fills our

pockets.

Well,this is our situation. And now,we are asking

for your help. Can we dare to hope that you may have

some used or deteriorated books which you do not need

them anymore? And, if you do, can you mail us

something?

I just hope that we are not asking for too much.

And, if we can do something for you from here, you can

sure count on us.

 

Light,

Eduard & friends.
