Wow, WW! Thanks for another amazing reply. Yes! I always say this lady is my premier spiritual teacher. I so agree with you that I really never knew I could dislike someone so intensely. She has pushed a boat load of buttons. Again, I agree, that if I can meet this situation fully, if I can transcen...

Awww....thanks Far East! You're a really sweet person, I can tell. Yes, indeed, I DO feel very fortunate to have my Subi! I spent years at one time without a car, so I know what that is like. I appreciate having reliable transportation, & couldn't care less if my vehicle oozes status or sex appeal o...

Thanks! Far East, I hear you. You sound like someone who just cuts through the extraneous & sees the heart of the person. You must be a very good friend, indeed.Thanks for your wonderful reply! Wow, SmileyJen! What an awesome post! I appreciate your time & energy & widsom, honesty & straighforward t...

Thanks for your thoughtful reply Sandyjoy! "Really, when I judge, the it is about me, not them. I as the 'judge' them (and who are they?) I am the only one who can cause me aggravation, out of my own decision 'they' are 'good or bad' but really they are neither --- I cause my suffering, not 'them'."...

I loved reading the original post & responses on Mamaseeker's thread about dealing with annoying people. Webwanderer emphasized how judgement, envy, anger (& no doubt a slew of other feelings & thoughts) separate us & not only get in the way, but often block us completely, from being present to the ...

Mamaseeker, I am so glad you posted this! I so relate to your concerns & efforts! You speak of daily "material reports," from others, & that is so funny to me, as I too get those (from one person I feel very annoyed with!). This woman is in a constant state of demonstrating her wealth, her perceived...

Lakeswimr, well-said. I quite agree that hanging on to each news broadcast & reading every word in the papers becomes less about empathy & more about *feeding* the sadness. We need to move on, & perhaps help in some manner, as I talked about before. You mentioned the ban on assault weapons, & I too ...

Rideforever, I hear what you are saying about the violence in each of us. I so agree. I think ET says the seeds of dysfunction are within in us all. The "perfect storm" of variables ignited in the shooter leading to combustion. Our awareness of our inner violence frees us from building on it, acting...

Thank you both for your replies. Karmarider, I resonate with your feelings & concerns. I feel very sad for the shooter & his family too. His pain & suffering must have been staggering to have taken the action that he did. We don't know many details of his life, but we can gather that he was a person...

The tragedy that unfolded in CT Friday is so sad. So many innocent lives fatally assaulted. Now, there are grieving parents, friends, neighbors. The entire nation & perhaps, the globe, has been touched by this brutality & suffering. I know that ET says that solutions and answers, wisdom, flow from s...

"Then gradually I noticed a heaviness because everybody was in their minds and their egos. So, it took a few years before I readily realized, “This is not where I am meant to be.” Interesting that Tolle felt the need to move on. Where, but the most rarified environment, could one find a place of emp...
