This is a pardox, as I see it. Although we may recognize that an individual

'self' does not actually exist - at least as we have believed it does - in

this world nations and communities are made up of individuals. Group

consciousness reflects the majority of individuals within it. There is a

truism that's been around for a while: The best gift one can give to the

world is the awakening of their own personal consciousness. How anyone

expresses that recognition of unity and love is also a private affair.

 

Ramana Maharshi said there are many people living solitary lives who are

contributing to the world by pure consciousness of Self alone.

 

As a friend of mine used to say, "There is only one of us."

Wow, that's the most words I've ever seen you use Xan,

although you already know how much I love the simple

elegant phrases you do write ... :-)

 

Agree, though, the greatest gift we can give or receive is to

awaken ourselves ... knowing "where" we are ...

 

Where I am is going to play with my beautiful little blonde

Incan, un-tan though we may be, Jan, LOL, guess we'll have to

check out that coastline between Costa del Sol and Tenerife.

 

But as beggars can't be choosers, right now anything with hot

sun, ocean and sand would work, all we have are colored leaves

here in ole Virginny ... beats the snow though ... which reminds

me of that incredibly beautiful song, is it Phoebe Snow?

 

"When the face reflected in the mountain snow melts ... "

 

Much Love to you all,
