"the enemy is not the other, the enemy is within you" j krishnamurti.

[flowperson]

Whenever a feeling of aversion comes into the heart of a good soul,
it's not without significance.
Consider that intuitive wisdom to be a Divine attribute,
not a vain suspicion:
the light of the heart has apprehended
intuitively from the Universal Tablet.
- Rumi

[Snoopy]

When one advocates Buddhism, one has already transgressed the Buddhist teachings, because the doctrine of Buddhism is a doctrine that leaves behind the attachment to ‘I.’

Just bought "Mutual Causality in Buddhism and General Systems Theory: The Dharma of Natural Systems" (don't that title just trip off the tongue?)

Not heard of her before, can't even remember how I came across this one. Anything you want to tell me?

Hey Snoops, I don't know too much about her. What I do know is that she has a book entitled, World as Lover; World as Self. The title in itself teaches! Fricken Rad!! I think that she may be a professor of something-or-other somewhere; probably highly intellectual as well as spiritual. Formidable.

I need to read her myself. I got the quote from Mary Pipher's Writing to Change the World. If you haven't already, check out JoannaMacy.net - Welcome to All Beings

Trust in Love.

Someone has probally said that (or I hope they have.)

Thanks . I'll have a look at her website and also this other dude you refer to that I've not heard of; Fricken Rad. A Scandinavian I take it?

[Pathless]

Yes, well. Ahem.

**takes the podium**

Fricken Rad is a lesser-known Vanir goddess of the Norse tradition. A hermaphrodite (the current preferred term is 'intersex') god(dess) of mischief, research, communication, music, and dice, she was later simplified and subsumed into the figure of Loki. It is rumored that, on the advent of Ragnarok, Fricken Rad will return as an outlaw scholar, shooting verbose blanks and non-violent fireworks into the margins of society, laughing all the while as the world floods, burns, festers, and burps. Reputedly she will ride a giant, pimply dolphin in the frigid arctic, broadcasting rebel radio waves of delight, reggae, and rap to the under-12 crowd, who will be the only ones light enough to comprehend the divinity of her lunacy. After the Christians ascend to their milky heaven in the rapture, Fricken Rad will usher in the Age of Unreason and Creativity. Among pantheist witches, she is associated also with Dionysus, Kali, and the more drunken boddhisattvas, such as Alan Watts.

I should totally set this up as an article in wikipedia.

Never mind that, you've finally helped me to discover a deity that I can truly believe in! I WANT TO BE INITIATED!!! TAKE ME TO THE ALTAR!!! SMEAR ME IN UNGUENTS!!!

[Pathless]

Here's one that the newly revised 17th Alex should enjoy. It comes off the end of my Yogi teabag (that's right, I said teabag ):

Let love elevate your self to excellence.

Awsesome. Unguents. Usually, though, the initiate gets smeared with stawberry yogurt nuggets. The ritual is carried out by Ugnauhgts. Well, actually that only happens about 20% of the time. We have plenty of sumptious unguent flavors to choose from, including, but not limited to:

• Boysenberry
• Peppermint
• Patchouly
• Sandalwood
• Strawberry
• Aphrodesia (very popular)
• Chocolate
• Cinammon Apple
• Kiwi
• Green Tea
• Espresso
• Jasmine
• Cherry Fruit Roll-Up

It's fun times, man.
