The workings of the mind have been studied for centuries and there does not seem to be any beter explntn than the ones given by the old masters. What they did not emphasise was the lesser tendencies of the mind -- violence, hate anger et al. Even the oft repeatd Avidya has not been dealt with to any length. Today the origins of these tendencies have been given some more space, for better or for worse. When we realixe that good and bad are only relative and one often mother s the other it only becomes a question of looking at the full kaleidoscope. Then there are levels... But again, rhetoric wise to state what one wants to should be considered an a priori, a given; and from this they say luck does not exist. Or does it? Regards -- VJS
