Hi vicki,

 

First of all, I like you, and I like it very much when you share

your feelings and thoughts with us.

 

Second, I am sorry you have felt hurt or offended by any words that

showed up here on the list.

 

Third (and this is the main reason why I feel drawn to reach out to

you), because you DO so deeply care about peace, and because you

know in your heart that peace is the answer... dear Vicki, why not

start right now, right here, on Harshaji's tiny stage that mirrors

the bigger stage of the world... and show us how to BE a living

example of it?

 

Why not take this amazing opportunity to harness the infinite gifts

of all you have learned in your study and devotion to Bhagavan, and

bestow them on us right now, including, *and most especially*, those

who you feel oppose you?

 

I truly want to see how it's done. I want to see what Vicki looks

like, in the midst of this extreme challenge, in her shining

radiance of the Self.

 

In respect and sincerity,

 

Kheyala
