yes, thank you for your quick reply. i understand my question does not pertain to what Art is describing. i wasn't sure if it was necessary to create a separate thread because i believe being humble around those who are suffering may be a form of boundary. i'm not sure how much sense it makes now but regardless, this morning i felt like i was tapped into a very peaceful state but there is a bit of chaos here at work today. i've already been challenged by someone who hurts and i wasn't sure if i needed to "tone down" or not.
We can feel good and then a few hours later be thrown into the cement mixer of of material life. i am looking for solutions for myself and others. That is why i am going to see Amma this weekend! i think you may have a point about 'toning it down'. Sometimes it is better to be as invisible as possible to avoid confrontations with others and their negativity.
