Just to clarify a bit -- in calling the cause of suffering "stories," I am not trying to denigrate the experience of suffering itself, which is certainly real enough -- merely attempting to point out that the suffering arises from self-created mental dramas which can be unraveled with a bit of inquiry/analysis (perhaps akin to Patanjali's "yoga is control of thought-waves of the mind"). Again, I heartily recommend reading Byron Katie's "Loving What Is" :-) To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
