Well, his sidhis led to suicide, so go figure.       ----- Original Message ----- From: lurkernomore20002000 To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, June 11, 2005 6:24 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Desires and Enlightenment --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter Sutphen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]...> wrote: > > Lurk, have you read Unc's stories about his experiences with Rama?

Rama's life (and death), took some funny twists and turns, but I've been impressed with what I have learned about him so far, which admittedly is not much.  (But then again, I have come to trust some of the first impressions I have about something) lurk > > > > > To subscribe, send a message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Or go to: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ > and click 'Join This Group!' > Yahoo!
