Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Dear beautiful light from Outback: What a gift to open my email this morning and find you and Jalissa and Claus, waiting to greet me with your sunshine and beauty. The very knowledge of your presence on the list warms my heart. I often wonder about the quiet ones :-) When you do pop out to say hello it is always a special gift to know you are there. Sorry it took a virus to get you Out from Down Under!!! Anyway, the photos are wonderful and your chickens look so happy and you too. The chicken house looks like a real palace for them. Jalissa is truly a little yogini already...the photo of her on the table with Buddha is a classic...he could not be in better company. I am sure he is honored to have her with him. And we are honored to have you with us, dear Helga. And now, my work is calling :-) Love and Jalissa kisses, Joyce Dear beautiful lights of the ....

Yesterday, I received a suspicious looking file, with an attachment, and immediately deleted it, without opening it, but I didn't empty my trash until later in the day. Before I emptied the trash, I tried to access my mail for quite some time, and could not. Last week, I received the beagel virus, via, nonduality highlights address book being spoofed. It infected 400 of my files, and I was advised by Dell to wipe out my entire computer, which I did. It was totally virus free as of a couple of days ago. I will run a scan again. Sorry that that virus came to you via my address. I thought I had everything very tight here I don't really understand how all of this works, being fairly new to computers, but I guess running a daily virus scan is a good thing. --Durga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one piece of info can help just one person it is all worth it. I used to live in Queensland and do visit every so often for I have children there, as well as here in Canada. Are you in the SE hinterland? or up north near Cairns? It was nice to hear your story, especially as I was watching David Suzuki last night, he lives here in Vancouver. He was narrating what his young daughter said to the adults at the Kyoto conference. 'What you do makes me cry at night.' He also said that there was some kind of 60 minute scale that scientist put on survival. He was saying that we are in the 59th minute and if we reach the 60th the planet has had it. He did say there was still hope if the children grew up realising what has happened, and change course away from this materialistic over using society. However I personally feel that this cannot be accomplished without a spiritual awakening of some kind. I'm never ceased to be amazed at the low level of awareness and downright untruthfulness of our leaders political and corporate. I really feel sorry for the Muslims that they have resorted to violence to battle the assault on their life styles and religions by the West.( Pornography, raping of resources, and land etc etc). I sometimes wonder if the Earth Goddess won't sometime sneeze and clear the whole lot out. Then I realise it is all part of the karmic dream, and has to be changed one at a time by all of us, so the next lifetime's dream is better than this one. However when asked what he thought about Western Civilisation, Ghandiji said he thought it would be a good idea, problem is that the whole world is now becoming 'Western'. For evil is rampant egoism, and materialism that diverts the ordinary person from the reason for his/her birth---------to seek 'Realisation'. Then I go back to the Cayce readings, which can sometimes be helpful and in there he says the planet will be saved by people like you Helga.........Om Namah Sivaya.......Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I'd simply say : "Never open .pif files!" I saw it ... two days ago I think. Just deleted it... Also, you better have Norton installed, autoprotecting and updated with the latest virus definitions. I never have any problem as long as Norton's there and that I don't open possibly infected files.

(Swami's hair is non-hair) He likes to think of himself as a dashing figure, but I dunno. What endears him to me is his ability to go beyond reason and just cut up. In the garden of love, he is a riot of color. I can brag on him for he is beyond ego. He lives in la la la land. Ask Joyce if he is not certifiable. He is getting sleepy; must be the warm milk.
