I hate talking so much as the impact of words is lost in too much chatter, but I really like the conversations here lately and feel I have something to add, not a feeling to waste, so here goes... From the movement I learned to believe in support of nature which made me thought that to dream was enough. It took me many years at something to realize that hard work and willpower are essential, maybe more essential than deva power. Deva power is good too but God helps those who help themselves (and others).As an odd aside, many people live thinking about how to make a buck, but some live thinking and wishing they could just make some positive difference. My whole life I always sobbed during the Olympics and other feats of greatness feeling left out. The Dharmata is Great. So also are one's dreams, but as important is personal willpower. If you will be inconsolable without your destiny then you simply must have it. I believe in thosoe particular people for whom truth and goodness are their currency, in spite of cash, who therefore sow a crop of good acts thoughts and words. I believe that as some stockbrokers hit it rich so also some few people are there actively sponsoring wellness for the beings everywhere.  The payoff in feelings of wellness are great. This too may just be weakness and an addiction. But it's one I want to try.     ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Stanley To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 9:12 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Regarding the Amma posts --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED]... wrote: [snip] > I have attachments and aversions of my own, based on my > 35 years inside/outside the movement, so I have some > appreciation that these can persist long beyond our > conscious  perception of them. [snip] Excellent post, LB. I would only add that I held on to protectionist attitudes for years after going almost entirely "off the program". When I now look back on that attitude, I feel that it came from a place of deep insecurity.
