Guest guest Posted February 12, 2000 Report Share Posted February 12, 2000 Self-esteem Rule 0: Look not for self-esteem - and define self-esteem not by others' rules.

Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home.
