No, really. It doesn't work the way you are worried about it. You as an i ndividual are not resposible for what others do, even as they are parts of who you and I AM. It just IS. All at the same time, in this moment, it all exists just as it IS and yet is changing. > Let's say I practised inner vision for three years everyday to see this > vision of life, so in a way, it's not ordinary to see it and get it.

Read Eckart Tolle's book. Suck it up, absorb it, practise his meditation. Tolle is great stuff. Your paintings are very nice, very enjoyable to look at. Make some more, hundreds more, give them to friends. It's a new world to explore. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also like to say that I have visited your webpage and found your art very inspiring. You have a talent and a gift and I highly recommend that the people who come here see it for themselves. I have Tolle's book 'The Power of Now' in my liabrary. I also have his book on cassette and his pack of 52 affirmation cards. I got pretty heavily hooked on his stuff a few years ago. The same happened to me when I discovered Neale Donald Walsch's stuff. I have every one of his books in my liabrary as well. John De Reuter: Same thing. And many others. I have given up searching for the right teaching. I found it in Nizargadatta and nowadays I don't bother to read anything else but 'I Am That.' I find his teachings far superior to anything I have ever set my heart on. Three times I have read that book, and just recently I have begun to read it for the fourth time. I don't pretend to comprehend his vision yet. However, I do sense that I have made some headway. It shall take me a long time before I can even begin to grasp what he taught. He says that the moment of realization explodes. Heh. Well, I'll wait for it to happen while I continue to learn and absorb the teachings of this amazing Master.
