Hmmmm.... Attached to vows? The vow is made with the same detachment that a Satguru shows in his commitment to a disciple, isn´t it?
Rather detached by reflecting on the expression "nothing can ever satisfy me",

Hi,
I want to say something here. I think that masters/gurus reincarnate all the time.But i don't think it's just for the sake of disciples.
I think life is not only on earth but else where too and MASTERS/GURUS
must be having disciples there also.

Hi Ann,
Just went thru a similar experience--which, as an astrologer, I would normally attribute to Mercury Rx, but the next one doesn't start until, I believe,
Friday. Here's what happened: Nite before bus. trip to Miami ATnospam 11 PM after working 18
hrs. in prep for trip, mouse goes out on computer--not able to use 2 days' worth of work on trip bec. have to leave at 4:30 AM; can't replace mouse.
Flight canceled due to mech'l bkdown. In Miami, laptop computer won't work. Once up & running, email doesn't work. Go into client's office--their system
crashes. Try to use hotel fax/email/computer: out of order. 2 ATM machines don't work. Office sends me Fed Ex--never receive. Office sends me
fax--hotel delivers to wrong room. Hotel has false fire alarm at 4:30 AM. I go into client's on Sunday, work OT to catch up: next day, go to email work
to Denver--work missing on laptop. Try to make urgent phone call--FOUR PAY PHONES IN A ROW DON'T WORK. Go to L.A. At airport, try to call cousin:
THREE PAY PHONES DON'T WORK!!! At cousin's, flush toilet: Pipe breaks loose: bathroom & bedrom flood. ATnospamATnospamXX$$%%&???!!!!!!
What are your thoughts on all THIS??? (Besides the Universe telling me I'm
probably in the wrong job??) Thx for listening--Michele

Harsha: Alan I am in general agreement with what you said in your complete post.
Some people, however, have an innate tendency towards certain spiritual practices. They are compelled, as if it were, to engage in "esoteric" pranayama and yogic
practices because these practices are "normal" for them and help them on the spiritual path.. Unless there is a strong interest coming from within, no one can
sustain these spiritual practices for prolonged time periods. Generally for most people, the body's inner wisdom tells them if they are going too far in their
exercises and need to slow down. But people do make mistakes sometimes which is why it is good to have some guidance.

Hi Orea, what's different about Seiko watches? (Am asking because I have NEVER been able to wear a watch, either; not that it matters, since everything

this is bothering me, and i guess it should, 6 people willing to die by
starving themselves for their people. Who wouldnt feel for them.
partly i feel ashamed, how long will countries like China be allowed to do the things they do to their own people?
its hard when reading the newstories, you can see the tent walls.
part of us is dying because another part of us is cruel.
how long until we realize all beings are only our sisters and brothers

You reminded me, Lia, of an interesting shamanic journey I had. I decided to
try journeying to a tape of the Gyuto Tantric Choir instead of my usual drumming or didjeridu. Instead of the "ususal" Lower, Middle or Upper World,
I found myself in a high, arched area that felt like a cathedral, except I realized it was the spine. In the course of the journey, energy rose from the
base of my spine up to the crown. I wanted it to stay there, it felt great, but it insistently pulled itself back down to the base then turned and shot
up, out the top of my head and sprinkled silver light all around me in a three or four foot radius.I knew very little about chakras at the time, so I found
the whole thing very surprising! LOL ;-)
One idea that has stuck with me since then, is what a great world this would be if we all went around, blessing the people around us with a shower of that
wonderful energy as we went about our daily lives.
The other cool thing was that, although the it is a quite repetitive chant, I *knew* when it was about to end.
Blessings,
Orea
