Hopefully, at this point, we are rescued by love. WE meet someone who gets past all our defenses and forces us to engage at the deepest level. We are deeply and truly in love, and suddenly the happiness of another becomes at least as important as are own. Experiening this fusion of equals, it finally strikes us that we are not alone, that there are many, many other dreamers here, and the true glory of creation lies not in being all powerful and alone, but in being vulnerable, being together, being in relationship to our fellow spirits.

I hope so.

I really do.

"common" people have strange vibes .... it might be because i drank kava, went to bed at 5 a.m. and got up at 11 and still felt an afterbuzz but..... my defenses are very sour, untrusting, cynical, judgemental. meditation can definitely thwart them though.... but meditation is a solitary activity

I miss my cat, and I miss her when she was a kitten as well.  Youth is so wonderful from the outside perspective

Great post.

First, there is reality, and it consists of many undesirable things, like stress, fear, work, school, oppression, mortality, illness, death. It seems hard and we writhe under its grip. We seek escape into temporary realms of sanctuary generated by television, alcohol, drugs, fantasy.

All of this for "comfort", for air conditioning, for not having to "work" for food; and they make it so difficult to give it up by taking land and claiming it as theirs and no one elses...ain't society grand?
