Club chat 12/10/2001

December 10, 2001

Namaste all… I would like to thank

everyone that managed to make it to our last club chat of

2001 that was held this past Saturday. It was a

particularly fruitful chat for me personally. I hope other

members agree. Although we will not be having an

organized chat until after the first of the year, I would

like to urge members to strike up impromptu chats. If

we are on Messenger and see other members

online, perhaps we can invite several members into a

conference and post the topic of discussion on our board for

other members to read. Interaction is a wonderful tool

and can be very powerful. If you would like to know

how to have a conference on Messenger, please

feel free to email me (sugarandbrine) or

send me a message via messenger

(sugarandbrine). As for this past Saturday’s chat, we covered a lot

of ground. First off we discussed discipline and

members discussed laziness as being the primary factor

leading to lack of discipline. Other possibilities

included unclear or unrealistic goals and impatience. This

lead to a discussion of the concept of time. What is

time? How can we look past “setting the clock” on our

practice? How can we learn patience with ourselves and with

the Divine? We also discussed attachment to results

or to our goals themselves. How can we detach from

these? How can we assure we are not getting attached to

goal/results? Lastly, we discussed obstacles along our

path. Sometimes these hurdles must come to us, so we

can learn to overcome them and have faith in

ourselves and in the Divine. I would like to

encourage members to continue these concepts of

conversation here on board as well as the other topics we are

discussing. In Love, Erica
