Give me the nderf link again and I'll take a look.

Edgar and Margie,
I am fine at this moment, not really suffering a lot. Meanwhile I
am scared by stories of suffering. If you think the best way is not
to think about suffering, just 'think' about the present, I can say
nothing more. Edgar, with your scientific approach, please read
carefully the nderf, then tell me they are all bullshiting.
Regards,
Anthony

Anthony and Margie,
Anthony, would it help if you knew that the great all loving all
powerful mother of the universe has you in her arms loving you at
every moment including right now?
She does..... It's called being alive in her arms.... You just
simply need to experience it..... And make that the essence of your
experience in every moment....

Hello Anthony-
I think you are hurting yourself unnecessarily with this line of
thought Anthony. I'm sorry for that, I don't like to see people
suffer.
Again, a look into history will show you that there is NOTHING that
can ensure peace. Lots and lots of things have been tried through the
ages and peace has never come. It is very ironic, people are willing
to go to war, to kill and be killed over whose "morality" is the
"right" one. It's a hard pill to swallow, I know, but the plain truth
is that peace isn't the nature of most human beings. Or most human
beings cannot see their buddha-nature.
The only thing left is to create a peaceful place within yourself.
There are many ways to do that, zazen, other forms of meditation,
certain therapies, etc. I don't think anyone can find peace in the
world without finding it within themselves first.
