You say you 'seem to be in a place' etc. Perhaps you need to accept

the fact that you don't really know where you are, accept that total

insecurity. Abide without any description of your situation or

yoursef.

Namaste,

Yes thank you, total surrender to the present. That is my problem, I

just wonder how long it will take for the samkaras to play out. Your

post is a good reminder, and the advice is well taken.....ONS..Tony.

===========================================

That is probably everyone's problem Tony, but please think about this:

When you were little you didn't even know the words 'surrender' or '

samskaras' ... Wondering how long it will take is not total surrender

to the present... alas.

Please don't take it as a preaching, it is just a fact.. Love, Sam
