No … thank you Marko, Your enormous energy and enthusiasm is a constant source of inspiration. You push back the boundaries by your questions and provoke honest and human replies. This whole exploration debate helps us all. The Buddhist talk about retraining the mind. This is, I think the best way of defining the human veils of illusion we live in. The whole pain and suffering thing is just another illusion we create for our selves. The Buddha dedicated his life to helping others see this. He never wanted to be worshiped or made a Marta. Only to help his fellow humans have a good day. The human mind needs to be directed. It needs to be feed and exercised. It all depends on what you feed your mind. This was the Buddha’s advice. Thanks again Marko ……….. always a pleasure to share your words. .
