Subject: Re: [MD] ego vs self
i mean I'm in contact with higher powers, as I perceive them. Quality.
Maybe
Quality means the "Heaven's Tao", and i have to bend down, so that it may
flow
again in my direction as I replanish my daily business. I used to feel
myself
in the same mess as did Mr. Pirsig, but now i'm alright. In the end it's a
matter of love and loneliness and solitude of some. I wish I could
speak more,
but I've got a poor english and i can hardly articulate the levels from
Lila.
So, thanks for the support and teachings, Marsha.
Fernando.
