Reading a great book-
"Letting go of the Person You Used to Be"
Lessons on change, loss and Spiritual Transformation

by Lama Surya Das

a very good read-

from the introduction-

"wherever I go lately, people ask how to deal with fear, anger and pain...I firmly beleived that deep down everyone truly wants peaceful coexistence in this world in our lifetime"

"Face your difficculties realistically, rather than withdrawing from them, and riches can be yours"

it is a very nice book that will make you feel better about whatever you are facing.

    Sounds good.

    As of late I am an Eckart Tole student. It is classified as spiritual but I took it as a guide for how to be a better human being. Something I felt was out there. Yes, peace.

    I considered it a "conversation I had been waiting to have for a long time"

    I will

    Self awareness. Conciousness. To be in the moment of every moment.

    A practice for sure in this time of infinite distractions.

    I agree....many distractions everywhere....staying in the moment is always the best place to be

    Hmm, I've always admired the intellectual as well as the physical.

    wait a sec

    I reread a welcome response that I wrote yesterday. All I said was

    welcome, welcome.

    In my head I was saying it the way it was said by the hotel greater in one of Mickey Rourke's movies. I think it took place in Rio. I mean.. and then... of all pics you choose Mickey Rourke.

    What is that? It happens alot.

    Energy? connections? awareness? coincidence? what is that?!
