hey, i want to get there too. i know that the theory of a limited quantity
of happiness is false - i just can't break beyond it yet. i have been heavy
lately- 5 years after finishing law school (where i had my first full-blown
k experience) - i took the bar exam in february, and passed - but they won't
admit me to practice due to a diagnosis of bipolar illiness
(manic-depression). there's been a lot of BS involving that going through
my system. i have a hearing re: adittance coming up in a couple of months.
i went to law school to save the planet - top environmental law school in
the country. i am going back to law simply b/c making $8 or $8.50 an hour
in bagel shops etc wasn't enough, and i sure wasn't making any payments on
my law loans (now over $135,000 w/ interest and collection fees.) the whole
process has brought a lot of issue sback to the forefront.
there's a lot of other factors going on, too, including that I work as a
secretary in yer basic corporate firm, further contributing to consumerism,
globalizations et al. It wears on me. but i have not yet been given the
opportunity (or been able to see or take advantage of any such
opportunities) to do better.
I am a sun-sign leo. Roar.

Hey Joe...
I guess that it comes down to your last statement. I don't feel that one's
joy brings an equal balance of sorrow to someone else. I see that thoery of
living, as an excuse to not let go of the sorrow we bare. For if we do, we
might put our pain on another?
I don't fall for the illusion that we live only in a dual reality. I
understand that we limit our growth by thinking only intellectual thoughts
and not allowing the free flowing thoughts of the queit mind and open heart
to be free.
I don't think of a storm as a violent attempt on humans. I don't think of my
showering as an evil intent on the lifeforms upon my skin. I do note they
exist and live mindfully to work with other beings to be harmonious.
I don't belive in the biblical God. So, I have aloud myself to let go of
guilt, fear, doubt and repression. These are simple measures of control.
And, it is the intellect that convinces us there is some conspiring force
against us. It is an overactive I... that refuses to be with the whole. The
I needs to control and posses the world around it, where the more balanced
and peacful being is in relationship to all.
So knowing that my actions effect others, I live mindfully. And, knowing
that my happiness is a gift and sharing it, gives birth to the happiness in
others. Only in a dual reality would black equal white... But, we have a
rainbow of possibilty, and much more that we have yet to see.
I since alot of heaviness, in your statments. I would be curious to know
what your sign is... just curious...
Love and peace.
