Guest guest Posted March 4, 2000 Report Share Posted March 4, 2000 Hi KKT, That's an interesting question: Do I feel "free", "liberated" as the fruit of your practice? The short answer is Yes. The long answer is that it is not so much a feeling of liberation as an absence of a previous bondage. I too know the FEAR Monster but his (her?) influence over my daily life is far less than it was. There are always new challenges. There are always areas of attachment and adhesion to illusions of separateness that come up for examination. But there is the availability of more wisdom, creativity, intuition, love, joy, and peace as well. Which is not to say that I don't spend more evenings than I should watching tv, or entertaining lusty fantasies of juicy tantric yoginis.

Anyone interested in a liberated guy without the burdens of previous bondage, always open to new challenges? :-) Love, Mira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2000 Report Share Posted March 5, 2000 Hey Mira, Thanks for the free plug! And you are right on all counts: single, liberated, without burdens, open to new challenges :-). I live in New Haven CT. If anyone is interested, meet me at Atticus Cafe for Sunday Brunch!
