Merle,
*DO* the formal practice over several decades, or however long it will last,
and then let's please exchange joyful comments.
I've done what you've done; but I've also done the other.
The universe is waiting for you to awaken, whether you know it or not. It's
either going to be in this life, if you like, or in the *next* painful one. I
don't see why to prolong the gamut.
You certainly don't need to practice formally now; but to converse about it,
you do. Else, your ignorance is glaring to all, not that that would shame you,
but it's just not a flattering light to be cast in, publicly, among the
hundreds here reading in this Group.
If the hundreds here find fault with me, let them consult Suresh, who once
found none.
But, shall we stick to or return to our topic again, pls.? Sorry.
--Joe
PS Don't speak of diamonds. I know nothing of diamonds figuratively, and
never brought them up. I only know about gem-cutting and presentation, and
cleavage. And solid-state physics. I know no hard diamond, and do not wish to
know it, but I give all praise to the soft organic golden soy-bean on the
forehead. Hail! That's no metaphor, dearie.
