"A true spiritual master shows you how to be your own master". With all the craziness in the TMO over the past 20 years, I have concluded that the purpose of all the madness is just that: MMY wants us to be our own masters because to follow the silliness that's coming out of the TMO is completely irrational. So the only conclusion reasonable people must come up with is: ditch it all and follow your own heart. ------------------------ Yahoo!
