This is an interesting subject. I notice the most pleasurable thing in life is the moment between sleep and waking up.
This can last from 06:00 am till 08:00 am with many transitions through total relaxation and bliss, in the knowledge the house is locked, it is relatively safe. A burglar might screw this up. But locked doors and alarms suffice. How about Africa? I live in a village and I have no doors. As I understand it people rarely steal from one another. Property is more communal. Something very different about that. In this society, in Britain, there needs to be a "me" who takes a position for survival. Allowing a deepening of the principles of Advaita in western society, to a point, brings up a lot of fear about survival (and madness :-) Cheers Mark On 19 March 2011 08:52, YouWho? <[email protected]> wrote: > > Who cares about being wealthy? > > What if everything was free?
