Hi,

This is an answer your post below. I have much less feeling about the wonder and joy of life than most of you, it appears. I am realy doing the best I can with what I have, but you all seeme to have some extra power under your hood which I don't. That is the trouble I have with people who claim to have a real experience of religion or spirituality. Your teacher gave you something, but the best I can do is to be in love and try to reach for something. But is really hard without someone perhaps like the man who taught you all.
I keep thinking about the Richard Bach book Illusions where the crowd says to the master, "easy for you to say, to tell us to just let go to the ideas we cling to". The crowd said basically and I relate to what they said, that you are enlightened and it is easy for you. I am just another slob marching in the parade and althought I have a "calling" or love of the real experience, I can honestly say I have been left out of that. So there is a big gap here and until I have that experience of the wonders you talk about I can only speak from where I am and say that that it is hard to be a bit cynical and beat down. Am I just supposed to be patient and thankful that I wasnt born blind? Is that the way I am supposed be?
