You can take the opportunity to look at each one as they come and go (from their stops/trips/bardos?) and send them <br />unconditional LOVE and positive regard. This is a no-joke practice that can not only help others, but save yourself from suffering (unnecessarily?) too.<br /><br />I'm certainly no expert, but one MUST take whatever opportunity one has and practice LETTING GO as soon as possible. This human birth comes once every what ? millions of lifetimes? <br /><br />It really doesn't matter whether one believes one thing or another (there are so many human personalities out there and a practice or belief for each one!) but that they begin to see themselves and this world as intimately connected, and begin to "86" the practice of being an ASSHOLE and "9-11 Emergency" begin to LOVE themselves, everyone, and everything they see.<br /><br />Buddhism has A LOT to offer a seeker<br />in this regard. Nice work and keep at it! <br /><br />Your toes are in the stream -<br />now jump in (the Ocean!)Chako Kanyonhttp://soundcloud.com/chakokanyon/setsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3666533987461945220.post-11751163171529796822011-04-24T08:13:46.340-04:002011-04-24T08:13:46.340-04:00Thanks, Dan.
