Steve, we're all in the driver seat. But how many realize it? Yours is a cautionary tale, and is quite a loaded perspective. Hopefully you feel I have not stifled your expression, or used my will to manipulate you.
And hopefully you or your friends know when to walk away from a situation that is no longer beneficial. We're all adults here.
I'm sure you meant this as advice? Thank you.
I just don’t think I will always be around as long as you and you have been here since one year after this site was created. Not sure what keeps you hanging in here but there is definitely some enduring factor. I really feel that we are in this incarnation for a certain purpose-how ever small it may appear- and we are in recognition of the value of meditation much more than the general public will be in the higher ages to come. Perhaps we had a similar service in the land of Lemuria and we are just carrying on here.
