tom, might we add the time that the Master grabbed the sword in the Kali temple

one of the things i like best about the Master and Holy

Mother

is their human-ness. in, my eyes, it does not take away from their

greatness. same for Swami V. i don't want a plastic saint; i want someone who

can bleed like me!

Theresa of Avila, who in ecstasy experienced an angel plunging a sword into her.

Comment:

 

Her life shows her to have been, besides, a woman of strong

practicality and good sense, full of natural shrewdness,

and with unusual powers of organization. {note: This sounds like a very good

description of Mother Teresa too !!)

 

" You deceived me in saying she was a woman, " writes one of her

confessors; " she is a bearded man. "

 

She was brave in the face of difficulties and dangers,

pure in her motives, and her utterances, some of which have been

quoted, have the true ethical ring about them.

 

(Quoted from Encyclopaedia Brittanica)

 

 

I visited the site you mentioned and viewed the beautiful

sculpture. Isn't the Internet marvellous !!

OK, Mr. or Ms. 'Omtatsat', if you have dispatched Tom to oblivion,

I am intrigued (by what method did you dispatch him? I hope it was legal!)

 

I also need your assistance. I file many of the mails from this list

under a folder with the person's name so I can review them later.

 

I filed " Tom's " under a folder named Tom.

 

Shall I make a new folder and what shall I call it??

 

:-)
